Also... What is their plan to not rely on the DHF? Most projects have no plan beyond DHF, they count on DHF paying for their livelyhoods. On current market conditions that is not possible because the money to pay them comes, at the bottomline, from people (and bots) buying HIVE on exchanges.
At 30 million mcap we are at hobby territory, not on enterprise territory where investors can fund teams. Sadly because would be nice to be able to afford hundreds of devs to work full time on projects, but not feasible. To do that projects must find other sources of funding such as ads or subscriptions or anything that makes people spend money like awards, collectibles, trading, fees, providing products and services, anything...
