Those expectations were sewn some by JB, but equally or moreso by inexperienced and unrealistic people looking to make money off a stock, and I would include myself in that category. I have become much more patient as I have come to better understand all that needs to be accomplished when bringing a new technology to market in a new industry.
Those who sit around placing all the blame on JB are avoiding the issue of their own role and responsibility in the process, IMO.
