We can succeed without exchanges. I am currently developing an escrow service with automatic withdrawal and deposits (XEL/BTC). Also Mobile apps and a windows lite wallet without any full node elastic install.
Nice work devking.
I think this helps illustrate what several of us have been saying. Elastic is a community project...people are contributing in they ways they feel are best. Yes, ultimately it will be nice if there is a foundation w/ a couple of community leaders, but the bulk of the work will probably continue to be done by people that volunteer their time.
Exactly and am sure there are many people like myself who will be happy to support a foundation with funding. I'm not rich but I am happy to contribute. I would rather be part of something important than just make a quick buck.
