Gents,
the threshold signature blog was huge; to those who understand the importance of it.
the lowkey mainnet launch combined with a market shakeout was a blessing in disguise. weak hands took their minor profits, leaving nothing but high IQ individuals and entities for the speculative phase. the threshold signature blog flew over every moon boys head as they cashed out during the shake. the blog was a nod to iron hands, indicating that things are still on track, better than most could imagine.
individuals efforts should be focused on running nodes and demonstrating the chainlink node operator requirements for listing on the explorer. Those will be rewarded heavily initially. you'll be swimming in staking pools before you know it, staking link will have massive rewards, well funded pool operations will be begging to stake your link for minimal or zero fees as they know the long term returns will outweigh any upfront costs 1000 fold. just vet them as they pop up and make sure they are legit first. the who's who of network usage will soon be clear.
the chainlink listing services aimed at individuals and SME's, think of these as the McDonalds board of directors, and the node operators as franchise owners. the Directors want to ensure the franchise owners are serving high quality French fries in per keeping with the high standards expected by the Mcdonalds network.
network effect will take over plus a speculative run. looking at the market as a whole, dare I say the word golden.
