Great post.
Any good project has growing pains. Sometimes it's because of flaws that need to be addressed, sometimes it's the wrong people influencing in unfavorable ways and sometimes the market just does what the market does, shaking out weak hands.
Where's that chasm from here? That's the question, isn't it? With current momentum, it seems like reaching it is all but given. But are we 20% of the way there, or 80?
