I agree with the people not caring part
I have had the same issue with the ANNE network
People in crypto only care about price and trading,
or they are tribal
and people outside of crypto don't care once they hear blockchain
and BOTH groups understandably scream "scam"
as so many scams in crypto
But for ANNE the crypto crowd is not really our target audience
the privacy crowd is, and ANNE is much more than just a blockchain.
