I think with such a volume of trades that are currently on the exchange. Only $ 270USD per day(not a joke) the chance that there will be some kind of growth and large investors will buy zero. If the team wants development, then you need to run additional exchanges other than crypto and market maker. Otherwise, nothing good will come of it and the project will remain in the backyard of the industry.
If there is no awareness then people won't buy it, doesn't matter on how many exchanges coin is. Gone are the days when people used to buy anything everything (Dec 2k17).
I think your vision may be distorted by the casino-like moods that usually can be observed in the crypto-echosystem. A true orgy of Hype-fest aiming at Pumps&Dumps and so, all disconnected from the real thing - ie developement of useful tools for the people. But in the end what really matters is the quality of what is done and delivered. Twist appears to have this necessary quality for a project to be here to stay, and the team is delivering what promised more punctually than most of the other over-hyped projects around. So in the long term, if the devs will continue working like this, Twist will have all the success it deserves. ATM Twist is just 6 months or so old. Give it a few years and you will see.
