When I was researching the Grin Coin in 2022, I opened the forum.grin.mw, but I didn’t register, so I just browsed it casually and didn`t came back again.
Then I signed up for an account a while ago, and I spent time visiting this forum every day, and I also participated in keybase govern topic discussions twice.
As @Anonymous have said, enjoying the time of a few members of grin community now.
The creators left, a lot of grin OGs left, I looked at their ID records, they never logged in again, most of them left at the end of 19 or around 20 years.It makes me feel like the grin project is dead.Later, I had positive thoughts about this.
1.The departure of founders Ignotus Peverell and OC contributed to the decentralization of grin project.
I realized that this is a good thing for grin project government. If the founder does not leave, then he naturally has authority in the Grin project, and his personal influence on the project is huge.it is not good for others to inherit and develop the project. The founders are like the kings who built the kingdom, and the departure of Satoshi Nakamoto and Ignotus Peverell is like Washington’s voluntary relinquishment of power after two presidential terms. The huge influence of the founder is intangible, and a sentence and support for a certain faction will form a huge advantage, think about Satoshi Nakamoto said in 2017 that he supported large blocks in bitcointalk, and now he said on the X platform that he supports bitcoin to increase tail emissions to ensure the safety of the project. there are no founders when the cryptocurrencc is decentralization.ocs left means even more decentralization.
I’ve been involved in some altcoin projects, and the founder claims that he no longer participates in project management, which is also a form of decentralized decision-making, but in fact his founder’s words and actions can also affect the project development decision. Litecoin founder Li Qiwei claimed a conflict of interest and gave up holding Litecoin, but I heard rumors that the coin was just transferred to relevant stakeholders. Maybe Li Qiwei is a sage, but in any case, the existence of founder Li Qiwei is a centralized existence for Litecoin, and the centralization of government.
From these perspectives, the government of the grin project is also decentralized, although it lacks efficiency. It would be even better if every 4 years, CC are replaced from the bottom up.
2.The low ebb of grin now is a robust test.
I don’t think Bitcoin had have such a long period of development trough, if there is such a two-cycle trough,it will certainly destroy Bitcoin, Bitcoin will enter a death spiral, Michael Saylor have said that the price is the fuel of Bitcoin, just like the gasoline of an airplane will not stop burning, and if it has really stopped burning as the grin project for so long,the an airplane of bitcoin have Crash.
The current price and trough just prove the long-term and tenacity of grin project.there should be an indicator of the choice of cryptocurrencies by crypto enthusiasts.
As long as you and I insist on mining, Grin Chain will exist in the world; As long as you and I are at forum.grin.mw, Grin Coin will still be followed.
The above is only a personal opinion,
我2022年研究古灵币时，打开过forum.grin.mw，但没有注册，就随便浏览一下就再也没有过来。
然后前些时间才注册了帐号，每天花时间逛这个论坛，也参加了两次keybase议题讨论。
如同任意所说，享受古灵社区少数人的时候。
创造人离开了，很多OG也都离开了，我看了看他们ID记录，他们再也没有登录，大多数都是19年底可20年左右离开。
一、创始人Ignotus Peverell 和OC离开,有助于项目的去中心化
我后来意识到这对grin project管理是一件好事。如果创始人没有离开，那么他天然在古灵币项目上有权威性，个人对项目就影响巨大，不得于传承和项目发展。创始人就如同建立王国的君王，中本聪和Ignotus Peverell 的离开，如同华盛顿在两届总统任期届满后主动放弃权力。创始人的巨大影响是无形的，一句话和支持某一派就形成巨大优势，想想中本聪2017年在bitcointalk说支持大区块，现在又在X平台说支持bitcoin增加尾部排放以保障项目安全。管理人员需要每4年就轮换一次，而且没有创始人。
我参加过一些山寨币项目，创始人声称不再参与项目管理，形式上也是分权决策，但事实上他始人的言行还会影响到项目发展决策。莱特币创始人李启威声称利益冲突，放弃持有莱特币，但我听到传闻只是将币转到相关利益方。可能李启威是一个贤者，但无论如何他始人李启威的存在，对莱特币来说就是一个中心化的存在，管理上的中心化。
从这些来说，grin project管理上也是去中心化的，虽然缺少效率。如果每10年，CC的管理人员都是自下而上进行更换，就更加好了。
二、grin项目低谷是一种撸棒性测试
我想比特币应当也没有这么长时间的一种发展低谷，如果有这种两个周期的低谷会摧毁比特币，比特币进入死亡螺旋，Michael Saylor也是价格是比特币的燃料，如同飞机的汽油不会停止燃烧，进入grin project这么长时间真是停止燃烧了。
现在的价格和低谷恰好证明这个项目的长期和坚韧，也是密码爱好者选择加密货币的一个指标。
只要你我还坚持挖矿，grin chain就会在世界存在；只要你我还在forum.grin.mw，grin coin就还有人关注。
