There will always be 'bashing'. It's not magically going away. Nor will an uplisting stop it. There will always be 'pumping' too. And complaints about conspiracies that our Precious should be worth billions if it weren't for evil people out to thwart us or steal from us.
And if a deal is signed, there will be shock that the upfront money isn't $50MM, or $500MM. And that the stock didn't go to $1, or $5.
We should be careful with expectations. We've still got a lonnng row to hoe.
