With all due respect, if high volatility, or devs missing deadlines causes you to lose trust I don't think crypto is really for you.

The Gulden team have given regular updates on development and explained why things are taking longer than originally planned. The upcoming update is huge. Would you prefer them to release it early with bugs? Would that make you trust them more?

It's not the Gulden team's job to do marketing. Marketing in crypto only creates hype which creates more volatility. If they were agressively marketing and creating hype that created more volatility would you trust them more?

What the Gulden team care most about is having the best product that gives the best experience to the user . They're well on the way to achieving this goal. This is why I trust them and is why you should too.

Thank you for response, and agree with you at some certain points. Yet, from business perspective, it is possible to create a potential timeline with error margins. For instance, if you believe that the project requires 6 months, then you set your deadlines with a possible margin of 1 month. Then the possibility of doing things on time increases. I worked with tens of developers, some of them were really good, yet all of them were not understanding the business aspects. I do respect the talent of Gulden team in means of development and vision, yet there is a need for some more. If you are serious about creating a trustworthy product, especially a cryptocurrency, you should avoid banning an opposing view at Slack, having closed borders for your community, and having limited communication.

I guess you are missing my point. We invest and plan to use Gulden, because it seems like no other currencies in the market. But the problems in communication and lack of business perspective causes Gulden to act like the other currencies. I am not saying Gulden should invest in massive advertisements or fake collaborations like Tron, Ripple and many other "big"ones do. What I say is that the team should value its community, while informing them and being transparent at any stage of development. I believe I am not asking too much, and the team can make it possible while employing some business and communication staff to learn something more than developing a perfect product.

Note: I have invested in 100k Guldens for my personal account, yet at corporate level we were planning to use as primary payment methods to our freelance contractors across the Europe. So, I am talking about "real use" of Gulden in business.
