Possibly because our small echo Chambers don't allow us to be too alert, some of us, and I will include myself in that group, believe that development has stalled considerably due to the bear market, but is this really true?
Since I spend hours on the road, one of the things I've been trying to do, is to listen to opinion makers, podcasts and YouTubers every day who focus on cryptocurrency. Yesterday, as I was listening to crypto zombie (much recommended) he was reading from an article that showcased some of the building that has been happening behind the scenes and went as far as to say that many projects have not launched, simply because it's too easy for them to flop in a downtrend market, hence they are waiting for the right time to do so.
I guess this is completely plausible and if I was behind a big project, one that secured a lot of funding to get it's legs, I too would try to time the launch to better coincide with a change in the wind.
Today, as I was getting ready to write this short post, I found a post written by taskmaster that somewhat confirms this very premise. Wherein, a new dapp on Steem, a dapp that has flown under the radar for many of us, and one that has tons of potential.
What does this mean? I don't really know, the positive action of the steem token might have something to do with the timing, and maybe this is the change of wind direction we've all been waiting for.
That being said, it's hard not to get excited about this, just looking at it's potential.
