Another project involving Andre Keep3rV1 (KP3R) fell by 26% in the last 24 hours.
Crypto space is the only space known by making overnight billionaires and many of these projects that rely on developers who became wealthy and have no more incentives to further develop these projects are at risk. Despite being decentralized projects the individual cult exists and affects the project negatively.
What would happen if Vitalik Butterin announces that he is abandoning the Ethereum project.
Maybe this is the positive thing about bitcoin, that Satoshi is a unknown person.
