Why is Algorand’s Community still so “small” despite its features?

Hey guys,

☝????Let me start by saying this isn’t about speculation, price action, or trying to promote Algorand. I’m just curious and trying to understand something that trigger me about the project.

Algorand, as a blockchain, has some truly standout characteristics: it’s highly decentralized, extremely fast, cost-efficient, and has serious platforms for lending and borrowins, some of which are even launching airdrops (this stuff usually lead to adoptions). On top of that, the network has rolled out new staking incentives and strategic plans to drive adoption.

????Yet, despite all this, the size of the community feels surprisingly small compared to other projects. Why aren’t more people flocking to a network with such strong fundamentals? Projects with “arguably” less advanced tech or utility have managed to build massive communities.

Is it a matter of marketing? Timing? Lack of awareness? Or is there something deeper going on?

????????I’d love to hear your thoughts and insights, especially if you’ve been following the ecosystem closely.
