I'd like for it to be more popular but as it is there's nobody to chat with and the one team I created is long defunct. I still look at it once in a while to look at the 75$ worth of stellar they handed out a while ago. Jumped to 750 Euro in the last days. It's been up and down like that for the last few months. Basically somebody farts in the bitcoin community and other coins go up or down by 20-30%. It's completely random and hype driven at this point. Too bad because Stellar actually has a bit of serious use cases. But I could not claim with a straight face that has anything to do with its current value.

The Zoom acquihire kind of destroyed any ambitions Keybase had. I was disappointed when it happened because it had some potential. But of course Zoom doesn't look like they care enough to do anything productive with keybase. This seems more like an acquihire to bail out the investors than Zoom doing anything with their new hires. At least I wouldn't be able to name a single thing that happened to Zoom since the acquisition that you could attribute to that.

Too bad really, because it kind of makes sense for Zoom to compete more directly with Slack, MS Teams, Google Meets,etc. Kind of a crowded market to be a one trick pony like Zoom currently is. IMHO they need to evolve to stay relevant. Their product is alright but not that remarkable.
