I came in with little over 100$ or no money to this community and am very grateful that supporting this community pays out to the member and when the community is strong and committed this can also be a driving force to be a top altcoin in 2018.
It is true indeed that a strong and active community are key for a cryptocurrency to gain mass adoption. DeepOnion is tackling the marketing and community aspect very well through their bounty programs and DeepOnion Airdrops. Meanwhile, the technology features are being developed actively and almost all of the DeepOnion budget is being directed towards development, rather than expensive and loud marketing campaigns. They have already released DeepVault and are close to releasing the DeepSend feature.
