I think this will one day prove to be one of crypto's most remarkable comeback stories. Disaster struck when @fuserleer died. But it forced the foundation to face reality and to begin handing the stack over to an enthusiastic, committed and resourceful community rather than headlessly floundering until it burnt through the remaining treasury. True decentralisation is beginning for radix, with no venture capitalists and no overpaid executives. The community is resourceful with a good number of self-made entrepreneurs who i suspect don't really need the money ... - sharding development (xi'an) - Dan's baby - continues under @flightofthefox 's initiative in rust (no one asked him to step in - he just did) - volunteers are running validators off their own backs - unpaid executives have stepped in/been appointed by the community to do the work needed to deliver the transition to the new foundation. And the big centralised exchanges never listed radix... But it doesn't matter now - the stack created the alternative infrastructure - decentralised exchanges and bridges - to bring in new capital .... The pressure is off. Community expectations are now managed. The community will deliver - i have no doubt This is how a startup bootstraps itself.
