launch of the platform is much more important than listing on an exchange- exchange can only drice price by empty speculation, but the real value is in the platform.
and then the platform can grow- which may take quite some time too. this kind of proejct takes a lot of time and patience
When we talk about the launch of the Platform, we're talking about the future
And when we talk about listing on the exchange, we are talking about the importance of maintaining community trust in the present
How will we talk about the future if in the present we can not keep the existing community in the present
Of course that most important is the platform, but also being not listed on any at least medium exchange gives bad reputation to the project. Having some circulation would help the project also.
