Slow and steady doesn't win the race in the cryptocurrency world, at least not any more imo, you will fall behind and be forgotten when new coins come out that have unique features and are able to build a large solid community quickly. At least a handful of coins have been released after Digibyte that have become a lot more successful, i like Digibyte and am still mining it atm but the price isn't rising, and more miners are jumping off daily. Multipools were not causing the problem, the problem is we have a small loyal community that isn't getting any bigger.
