can it not be truth AND hype?

given your link didn't actually show anything about jared being invited made it look like you where trying to hype with no proof, discovered proof pretty quickly after saying that thou hence the edit. and wouldnt slow growth be better then hype buying.
Certainly I agree with you regarding slow growth. I just find it rather ironic that despite 4 years or so of Jared & the team laying all the solid groundwork and slogging away day in day out, it was hype buying that seems to have gotten DigiByte noticed in the crypto world.
It's outside of crypto that DigiByte needs to be noticed though of course, and there will be no shortcuts there.
Well I'd say there is the short cut of, say 60 billion market cap

But, that ain't gonna happen for a long time, so not really a short cut either. But true, ironic indeed that Digibyte got noticed for a "meme contest" and Digibyte gaming right about the time it went on hold. And still people don't understand why they should own Digibyte. I don't know what people want.
