Hey everyone, It has been a while since I've been on this forum. Had to take a long break to deal with some personal issues. Could somebody catch me up as to what has been going on with Naut, and the crypto world in general over the last 4-5 months? I would really appreciate it

Naut. first dev couldnt deliver, second was Bryce Weiner who did/could not again. Now Julian Yap is working on POS, thats pretty good.
Cryptos. Mintpal bpught by scammer, took off with 4000BTC or so, total volume is probably 20% of last april. Epic drama around xc and blocknet. New trends are ICOs and "asset backed" coins. Do you have a ridiculously dumb idea? Go crowdfunding via crypto. I mean we have URODARK (14BTC ICO) now. Farmers can by their fertilizer on the blackmarket now.
Also, tell people your new shitcoin is "asset backed" with some real company and they will buy it. Why people dont go for stocks if they want to invest into something "real" is beyond me.
So, yes cryptos are a big fat joke right now. Maybe prolong your break.
<---- why am I still here?
I often wonder the same thing I contunously fall for every promise in crypto and continue to get destroyed because of it. I am holding bags and bags of failed coins at this point who all were supposed to have things coming soon they say. Arch is the only alt I can say hasn't let me down at this point. I'm just hoping this can be the one that saves me.
