Outside forces will not come in to save crypto
I see a lot of "let's wait for institutional investors" to come in and save us. Waiting for a savior does not ever work. If you want to see the prices of crypto go up then you have to work toward it with your own efforts. You have to build something which can attract billions of users.
To the developers, you need to learn marketing. Stop hiring people to do the marketing and buy every book you can on marketing. If you do hire someone to do marketing then learn their knowledge at least so when you fire them you don't end up in a situation where you didn't gain anything from hiring them. Learn marketing and learn business.
For the creative people who do art, why not help crypto projects which need art? These crypto games, these brands, they all need artists and creative people.
For models, entertainers and influencers, why not use your charisma to support the projects you like and understand?
Most important, stop waiting on Bitcoin. If the best strategy for a project is to wait for the Bitcoin block reward halving in 2020 then it signals to me that the project founders have no confidence in themselves. Pray to God if you want but afterwards go do what you can.
