Tell me guys. Why did Algorand, a currency once backed by multi-billion dollar corporations, governments, and educational institutes go under? Surely it wasn’t just the Bitcoin sell-off in 2022. This coin had potential, and for a time would have thought to have revolutionized crypto. Now it remains dead, and a lot of the original team is leaving and going to other crypto projects. Why?

it wasn’t hyped enough. While other blockchains (Solana, Avalanche, Cosmos, etc) gained momentum through media hype, Algorand was a hush-hush project that tried to maintain a “professional” track record compared to other cryptocurrencies. By abiding by the “corporate” standard, ALGO remained stable during the bull run however once the run ended and the market took a shit algorand dumped hard. The technology behind ALGO and CTSI (another example of a technology based crypto) are incredible, the fact of the matter is though that nobody gives a shit about tech. They care about how much money one can get from a coin. 90% of crypto investors wait for a good time to buy and sell. Almost nobody holds crypto for its technological feats, rather for the potential monetary gain. Aside from its original flaw with the foundation holding 60% of the circulating supply, Algorand went under because, in short, nobody cared about it enough to make it go viral. Hope this blogpost answers your question.

Hacks, the coin didn’t do anything that 100 other coins didn’t do. Oh… and they made their money by selling tokens they created out of thin air so they stopped doing anything else after they had sold ‘the product’ what’s not to get here- you build a business and then sell it and you’re suppose to what? Keep working?

I doubt it. I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with the chain, but DeFI is a ghost town years behind the ETH ecosystem and nobody is building because there are no users. It's a death spiral and the time to turn things around is running out.

The main question is if they actually get countries to use their blockchain for central bank digital currencies it may get a second wind for the coin. If you read their newsletters they're always hyping up the country/business case uses but not retail. Seems like a major mistake.

Because nearly everyone in this thread is a moron who doesn't realize that all token projects are bullshit and the true potential of blockchain only involves defi as an afterthought. Do you think billions of people's health records on chain will be reflected on a dex or TVL? You can't evaluate Algorand as you evaluate EVM clones because Algorand is a serious project and Ethereum is not.

Its proposals are counter to anything that would pump the price. The best thing they could do is put forth a proposal to burn the rest of the supply the foundation holds, then disband the foundation. But instead they give it to black colleges

This is complete cope. Algorand actually has HUGE media penetration and is consistently one of the more popular blockchains on normie media platforms such as reddit, jewtube, tiktok ect. They have gotten TONES of positive press, media puff pieces ect. There is an inherently accessible appeal to the narrative that most inexperienced investors pick up on.

I don't know where the fuck you get Algo abiding by a “corporate” standard, the foundation has behaved in a purely scummy self serving fashion, there has been so many completely fraudulent happenings with them. At this point I think the entire thing is just partly a money laundering operation (see their new Clinton Foundation partnership).

The real truth for why this project never took off was the predatory nature of the VC vesting, the massive inflation, and centralization kept actual DeFi natives and whales the fuck away from this project. They couldn't attract really innovative builders in the ecosystem either.

>>54622356
They might experiment and play around things but they will never use a permissionless chain, let alone one that is majority controlled/governed by VCs. These institutional players move glacial speed anyways, presumably the tooling surrounding this tech will get to the point in the future that deploying your own chain will be trivial. Algo token not needed

i am honestly surprised this thread survived the night.
i want to point something out about algo.
the governance.
https://www.algorandstats.com/governance-period-7

as you can see, most of these wallets are just the normie/independent tier baggies of algo..
it has a fat steak at around 5%.. with the deadline being in 4 days around noon eastern time us.

if you watch.. by the last 24 hours.. you will see the ((((FOUNDATION))))
come in and stack there algo..
you will see 2,000,000,000+ algo show up..

so the "VOTERS"/"GOVERNORS" of algo.. the people.. they have about a 700,000,000 vote power..

the "FOUNDATION" has a 2+BILLION VOTE POWER.

so no algo holder can actually vote on anything..
we can just get some shit tier apy steak. like 5%-7% in a "security" than floats are -90% ROI.

that 2billion+ that will show up, is all the cex, and all the foundation, pulling this shitcoin whatever way they want.

the foundation should stay out of the gov process. cause it nullifys the vote of all that hold algos..


this is 1 of many reasons why i have shit on this coin.


i also have a personal beef with MIT because they hurt someone i love in rl, severely.
and i know theyre crooked as fuck.
