We could use a status update. It would be nice to hear how things are going. Nothing too elaborate

Bristow, you seem like a good guy, and I know you got some great family news recently, but I have to chime in on something. It seems like you are placing a lot of hope on the success of Vert. But objectively speaking, that hope is slightly irrational. The chances of Vert to reach a marketcap of even what was 2 months ago are extremely slim. Even with the upcoming changes. You seem to have more enthusiasm for the project than the developers (a few of which have moved on to other coins as lead devs, a few that have not interacted in months, and 1 which became disenchanted altogether). Trying to rally the troops at this stage is sadly fruitless.

I know you put a lot of money into this, but perhaps its time to move on. The overall Crypto marketplace has dramatically changed since January, and its increasingly looking like Vert has been left behind. Any progress that is being made on it is insignificant anyways, and wont lead to a major spike in price.

Sorry man, I just thought I would try to give some objective analysis for you so you are not sitting around waiting for months and months. I have been there, but sometimes better things await.

Hi Turtoro,

I do appreciate the post you made and its objectivity I feel that you may have the wrong idea about me. Yes I am invested in the coin, and I do support it but not because I'm banking on making a tonne of money on my investment. I'm fortunate enough to be able to walk away from crypto at the end of the day with only a short term impact on my finances. My disposable income would take a hit but the bills are paid, my debt is limited to a mortgage and the new addition will not go wanting

I've also diversified in different Crypto and stock.

I support this coin more so than any other because I truly believe in it's fundamentals. The coin has a lot of potential, whether we get there or not is another story but everything it strives to be I want in a crypto. I will certainly look at new crypto's as they come out, the same way I'd look at any investment and if something peaks my interest I'll take a chance on it.

Again I appreciate the note and I see no malice in it. Just one person helping another. You make a great member of the community and I hope you stick around to see where all the cards fall.

Fair enough. We are all participating in an exciting industry, and no one knows for sure what the end game is. But we are the pioneers regardless. If I misread your strategy, I apologize. Best wishes on your new addition.
