David Steinrueck(@DavidSteinrueck):I can tell you with 1000% confidence that the gap between Aztec tech and the attention the project gets is the biggest I’ve seen during my 10+ years in the industry. Part of that is that it’s taken a while to reach stability as a decentralized protocol, another part is that we’ve shot ourself in the foot several times doing things the right way at the expense of hype. But all forces are now converging. I think we’ll be seeing a massive closure of this gap.
