You are exactly right, we the stakeholders add value to this crypto. It can be likened to a pile of sand. The devs add to the pile slowly as "value." It will fall and crumble through the process. Eventually more people, "sand", will gather to support the pile the dev adds. The dev can help shape it make it strong, robust, give it a good base so that one day there will be enough sand for the pile to support itself. I'm sure it'll be beautiful one day, but right now, supporters need to know there is something there to be a part of. Value is certainly built over time, but we see hecklers that try to tear down whats being built. What the community and supporters are drawn to right now are possibilities. We are more or less speculators looking for value in this cryptocurrency. I think transparency is key to this because it gives community members the perception to drive this coin further until those speculations cement into reality.
