Important Algorand news and updates

I know that many people are disappointed with Algorand and some openly hate the project. However, most people see only the price. Not the constant upgrading and improvement, the partnerships, the security and the speed. I am copying and pasting this text that I received from the foundation today. I guess that a lot of you have received it, but for those who haven't, it's good to read it. Especially if you're an investor. There's really exciting news and updates. I'm impressed! I really want to know what you think.

Enjoy reading!
