>Steve Ellis: There’s a lot of competition early on, we quietly kept our heads down, built the next working version. What we mean by keep your head down and build is don’t worry about creating lots of hype, just focus on delivering value and driving the ecosystem forward. And to be fair, we were surrounded by people that were not delivering. There was originally either the skepticism of ‘this problem is too small’, or ‘this problem is too large’.
>Sergey Nazarov: We’re still in this period of very cyclical boom and bust cycles where everyone’s like ‘blockchains are the best’,’blockchains are the worst’. I’ve actually always viewed skepticism as a very positive signal. People that shy away from skepticism, they’re missing out on the future and what they’re gaining is the approval of their peers, which i never really valued very highly.
