re: Official CryptoTalk Thread

VET was really one of the first projects that mastered the "partnership game".. Go to their Reddit or Telegram and ask them about partnerships and they'll tell you all about DNVGL, BMW, the Chinese government, etc.. In reality, these "partnerships" are very loose arrangements for some small branch of one of these companies to work with Vechain to see if their ecosystem could work for them.

Couple that with the masternode announcements, the Coca-Cola kid, etc., and they were masters of generating crypto-hype.. Vechain-related topics were banned from r/CryptoCurrency for several months because of the constant spamming about it

Unfortunately, as we enter the adoption phase for most of these coins, the cheap contest/partnership/etc announcements won't move the needle as much, and so they're pretty much stagnant. Meanwhile, other projects like Walton and Ambrosus, as well as Amazon and Google, are moving forward with their own similar technologies...

ETA: i still think they are a promising project, but just waiting until they can demonstrate some buzzworthy news to jump back in.. Other coins are running 20-30% up and down every day -- no reason to sit in VET while it simmers
