That being said, I have been impressed by Doabiitofgood's stepping up to include a floundering coin in their efforts. I only wish the actual development team for CWC was as dedicated!

Hey thanks for the shout-out WALKEN-COIN -- please do not take the following as a personal attack -- I'm speaking generically...

I can't and of course will not speak for mindfox -- but I will say that I'm pretty impressed with the essentially SOLO effort he put in basically changing the tires on a moving car -- wow and bravo!

NFI what keeps him busy as a day job -- because he sure as hell isn't getting paid off of CWC work.

I know Zach has a fulltime gig as well -- but at least he has a legitimate non-profit going in California so that's something.

"Internet Time" is compressed -- "blockchain time" even more so.  Most people cannot contextualize the effort that goes into development of any idea -- and how long it takes.  We're so used to instant gratification that we lose perspective of the concurrence of events that facilitate it.  The sad thing is that most new inventions take about 20 years for widespread adoption.  Look it up if you don't believe me...

I'm frequently amused and sometimes stunned by the sheer lack of basic market mechanics by people here on BCT -- its as if they do not understand how exchange works?  For every buyer there has to be a seller -- the converse is definitely not true.  Not ever seller has a buyer.  Think about that.  I see the same naiive sentiment played across just about every coinbase -- people think there is a ready market to absorb their coins at some inflated profit opportunity.

If people were REALLY engaged in their coinbase they would be doing everything in their power to get their family and friends to download the wallets and send them some coins to get them engaged in the economy.  They would be trolling through Facebook boards for all pro-social water related pages (like Clean Water Action for example) -- extolling the virtues of CWC.

Instead what I see time and time again are bitter bagholders coming online to berate via "what have you done for me lately" posts demanding that the value of their investment magically arise.

Until we expand the economies and out the bad actors -- all crypto will be relegated to penny-stock (aka pink-sheet) status

Here Here!  and I mean that with no offence, I just honestly think these are wise words.  Many thanks David for the Dropbox link, worked a treat.
