Elastic need more exchanges and also need motivate people to participate this project.
it may have a big picture as IPFS.
XEL awailable on Bittrex, but of cource, more exchanges can attract more people to this project. And for this we need constant marketing efforts of the team itself.
I don't think there is any point really to market in this Bear Market because everyone is gone.
Specially If BTC goes down to 4k, It would be standing out with a XEL Marketing Flier on an empty street and a sand storm and you hear the last person run in their house and shut the door lol.
but jokes aside sometimes It is a good idea to start the marketing set up or accumulate coins while everyone is gone.

matchpool is up 90% without any new developments. And you think we still are in a bear market?
Its time to start marketing XEL..
The project is good.
Its even being the FIRST decentralized supercomputer.
But without marketing it will not even be useful.
Other project will forge and clone XEL, market it and become a more successful project.
We have a first mover advantage in this kind of technology, USE IT.
Market it to the right network. Not shilling. Not price wise.
Just market it for adoption. Make people aware of it.
Contact exchangers. All of them..
We dont have a work in progress, or a concept.
We have a working project now.
When Bitcoin went up to 19k most alts dumped completely including XEL, from stable around 9-11k sat to 1.5k sat. If anyone here thinks there are that many sellers left I assume they have minimal experience in crypto-currency markets. It doesn't really make sense or seem likely to me that if Bitcoin continues to drop, the remaining traders from this alt bear market with strong hands that held through the worst drop of XEL since the beginning will sell at ATLs? Some might but I doubt many will. IMO obviously and I'm biased as a long term supporter of XEL, but it does make sense.
Adoption will come with time, in the upcoming years. Elastic is still young and has a truly genius dedicated dev and large enough community to keep it going for the foreseeable future. Short term price swings won't matter in the long run.
