I don’t think you and I are responsible and judge to value the work of each of us. However, I respect your posture
Understood. Well, any feedback is welcome as long as we respect the guidelines of respect. Hope you find some motivation in the short term.

Hello @Dacha as always, feel a lot of respect for you, I have seen how much you have been working for the community without having any job position, or being part of the core team, so yeah I feel a lot of respect for you, as 2021: The Year in Review shows.
There will be not much contributors when NF stop payments. True believers will stick but won’t be enough.
We believe that Geographic Guilds can become into cooperatives where we can be incubator for other external particular projects, and in this way we will keep spreading the NEAR Protocol and onboarding new projects - growing the ecosystem - without the need for funding.
Yes, Agree with you.
Hello Luis, later this important question could be a poll or a google form where we could extract some metrics ?
Good question, I will say that… finally I have been able to find a place where I feel 100% welcomed and where I really can add true value. I have been working in the blockchain sfere since 2016, I had my own company, and it is now just a remittances business but we sold almost $2M in mining equipment in just one year, we had a gold age, and then I had to take a hard lesson with trading, I even study corporate finances to understand more about that part, now I am able to improve my english too, so yeah I am beeing able to use my knowledge and to learn a lot every day so there is only wins wins here.
Hi, Thank for asking this question.
Here is the medium article I wrote about how Near changed my life.
i also have same experience near has help to increase my knowledge on crypto at large. i appreciate near protocol.
Wow! l joined this community not quite long. This is indeed a heart warming experience I would also love to have. That is also my wish for every sincere member.
I think a very large number of our community members are here because they saw it as an opportunity to better their lives and endeavors. I also think that none of us will want such good opportunity to stop. I want to believe that the pioneer minds behind this laudable project would have factored this challenge that is why l want to believe that only projects that will have a lasting impact to the community’s greater good are the ones being considered. I for one would want to see that this NEAR project is one that can be used to tackle poverty as we share the goodness of our goals to our various communities and circle of friends. I quite understand your point @Dacha but l am very sure that our goals will be achieved if we teach the right things in the right way.
that a solid truth, we have to use this opportunity to create a lasting project that has value.
Near has impacted my life by proving the power of community. It is often in difficult times in society that people are able to pool together for a common cause. With a decent knowledge of the Crypto market (after losing my job to COVID my boyfriend and I both took a leap and invested what we had into crypto and have lived off of trading for the past year and half) I just recently started exploring NFTs DAOs and realized that it is time to learn code/developing. My first venture away from cryptocurrencies themselves, into the NFT market - totally blew my mind in the way that people were so dedicated and inclusive in these communities, i.e. Discord, Telegram. I was also shocked at the scams and spam you have to maneuver around - more so than in cryptocurrencies themselves. But where I finally found my comfort zone was in DAOs and decentralized platforms or ecosystems. Near caught my attention first, because of my knowledge of Solana being a well established and rapidly growing asset (as far as I’ve seen in my short time with the crypto market) I dug deeper and am still amazed at the vast growth here. I see so much value in Near, not only the opportunities available to people all over the world, the connections that are able to be made within the community, but the quake-proof foundation that Near is built on. It is inspirational that I found a space where I can use any/all of my skills and continue to educate myself and broaden that portfolio of skills, especially with the ability to do so all in the same space. I think that even if funding was cut today - Near would essentially live on in the progessive projects that like-minded individuals would accomplish based on connections made here. The ability to bounce ideas off of eachother, to collaborate and find that person who may be the missing puzzle piece to your project, and frankly the resourcefulness people quickly adapt when circumstances call for it. Thank you to everyone here! I hope we each learn something new everyday 
wow amazing @nftcryptogroup happy for you mate, wishing more wins in this platform. the future is near.
more wins in this platform in the near future …? 
hahahha
haha great article Bailey!
you wrote “…chitchat on Near Telegram and helping newcomer, doing Russian Rollin Dice game that I never won once (@rimberjack lost the amount of Near that equal to her rent now)…”
but now the biggest question on my mind is…
who was winning then? 
good question. real enthusiasts and believers will be staying here.
everyone needs to develop themselves to the extent of their skills and think about original startups. The opportunities in Crypto and our Ecosystem are endless and will not diminish in near future. Those who depend on routine activities and money from NF without self-development and innovation are likely to have problems in the future.
Золотые слова (Russian idiom, in English “ A word of wisdom”, “well said”).
Haha,
As far I can remember, it was @kanzy and @margikbaxi was winning all the time haha.
But it was a good time and I bared that in my mind for an amazing journey with you guys
Thank you much, sir! Glad to be here
Oh sir you revealed the secrets 🥲:shushing_face: 
although it was great fun and I do miss those moments
