I used to love Blockstack, but I constantly see worrying signs from Blockstack's team and Muneeb.
1) Virtue signalling.
-We all care about privacy but can we not pretend privacy is the only important aspect for Blockstack to succeed. Quality tools are important as privacy.
Blockstack has no quality apps for people to use, so privacy is meaningless.
2) We care about community!
No, you don't. You don't have any public vote set up nor you let the community collectively decide.
If you do support decentralization let people vote to remove app rewards because it's a ridiculous set-up that offers no benefits and encourage inflation for bad apps with no users.
3) Throwing away money for meaningless attention
Being SEC-approved, throwing contests, apps rewards and creating events/conferences do not create value and it doesn't get people excited about Blockstack. Everyone can see the attention-seeking marketing isn't working. Less effort on marketing and more on creating things people are excited for..
4) It's a marathon not a sprint
^This isn't a good excuse to explain why most people aren't excited about Blockstack right now. We understand and willing to wait long term for Blockstack to succeed but if the execution isn't working, having better marketing won't solve the issue (and you had AMAZING marketing. Much better than Bitcoin when it started).
Many bad projects use this terrible excuse to explain why they have no growth when the explanation can be really obvious..
5) Just the fact that we have to give advice
The team should know better than us. We shouldn't even be giving advice however it sucks to see things going so wrong and Muneeb not paying attention to bad execution. We can all sense something is wrong with this project and when that happens, it's a good sign things should be quickly changed.
