When the project had traction and was compared to a competition to golem. Where it could gain a lot from advertising and make it mainstream. The lead devlopper had attitude and rejected marketing. Now its in the dead alley and nobody cares except a few ogs
What rejected from the community ( and not the lead developer ) was not marketing . A specific firm started posting charts with price targets . That has nothing to do with marketing , that company only saw XEL as a chance to pump a coin and let it be . Here is what GS doing today , do you think this is marketing

Maybe you are here only for the price and the money . Many people since the beggining support XEL mostly for the tech .
XEL was not and never will be a pump and dump coin . We either gonna gain attraction developing groundbreaking tech or stay at the current condition . I would advice you to take a look and see what has achieved in only the first month by reading our medium article . The team is still forming , and as always patience is a virtue .
