Fantastic point.
The big issue is that people may see value in a cryptocurrency before it is actually fully functional or has a place in the world. People invest, the price drives up and now its over valued because people realise it isn't actually doing anything (not specifically referring to Rai Blocks). This is most likely a part of CIs feelings towards what Rai Block is doing. It promises lots of great things, but if scalability is the biggest selling point, and then scalability is adapted, then you run in to massive issues of a coin in poor governance that has been pumped to the moon.
Good topic of discussion, way to get it started!
