Nearly every Telegram chat related to EOS was active, which is unusual; this project seems to be picking up steam and nowadays our mighty mod @Sandwich pulls no punches:**

## **Dan announced his efforts to spread the word:**

![](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030588/uploads/editor/bo/rafyd2ym2x1q.png "")

## **User "kk ss" copy+pasted another Dan tweet, which he made in response to someone saying people shouldn't lose their keys in the first place:**

## **The big champagne moment:**

## **And then the mood went sour as Korean crypto rumors were [reported in mainstream media](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-bitcoin/south-korea-plans-to-ban-cryptocurrency-trading-rattles-market-idUSKBN1F002B "reported in mainstream media"):**

## **In a small unnamed channel, Dan got excited about this passage linked from a software engineering book titled "[The Mythical Man Month](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month "The Mythical Man Month")":**
