QUESTIONS FOR TEZOS USERS:
In your opinion, what is the best way for the #Tezos blockchain to grow in activity long-term?
How do we make sure that Tezos continues to grow?
The core devs will keep building a great protocol, but IMO as a community we should be bringing users in!

to be clear, I'm not talking about regaining users lost due to the bear market
market cycles will cause the user count and activity levels to ebb and flow over time
but what can/should we do in order to ensure that Tezos continues to grow along with crypto as a whole?

Maybe the answer is that we, the users, don't need to do anything at all.
Maybe the protocol and its existing roadmap are already so superior that the outside world will eventually be forced to recognize it, and Tezos will be the top chain.
But I don't agree with that strategy.

Should we be marketing more to existing artists and NFT collectors on other chains?
Or should we be trying to bring in new users from outside of crypto?
Should growth focus on bridging and wrapping of more external tokens into Tezos, i.e. to support the growth of DeFi activity?

If you believe that we should bring users from existing chains, is there any specific blockchain that we should focus on?
Should Tezos try to collaborate with any other chains in order to facilitate growth through cross-ecosystem activity?
Or is it best to remain independent?

Should Tezos user acquisition be focused on NFTs?
Should Tezos try to further strengthen its reputation as "the art chain", or should our goal be to expand beyond this niche?
Or perhaps both are equally important?

On the NFT side, should Tezos be focused on growing the number of collectors? What about the number of artists?
Should there be more focus on development of new NFT related applications, or is the existing dapp ecosystem sufficient?
Do we need more dapp developers?

Should we be focused on bringing in established smart contract developers and training them in languages like SmartPy?
Or should we be training existing developers, new to smart contract technology, to build Tezos smart contracts?
Or perhaps both are equally important?

Should we try to foster a larger rate of user participation in protocol governance?
Does it matter whether or not users pay attention to the votes made by their bakers?
Should we encourage more non-baking users to take an active role in governance?
Or maybe it doesn't matter?

Given that the TezEdge team is stepping away from their project (and from GigaNode) this week:
How might we incentivize a new group(s) of developers to pick up this alternative client and maintain it into the future?
Or maybe client diversity should not be a goal for Tezos?

Or maybe client diversity should not be a goal for Tezos?
Even if you don't think TezEdge is valuable, the end of GigaNode is a material loss for Tezos
How might we incentivize new groups to provide this service, to maintain a diverse set of independent public RPC nodes?
How might we help more existing Tezos users run their own nodes?

Is the existing landscape of educational resources in Tezos to teach a new user (non dev) what they need to know?
What about educational resources for devs?
Which types of resources and information should knowledgeable Tezos users focus most on creating and proliferating?

Should educational resources for Tezos smart contract development be focused into one specific language? Or should we continue to teach newcomers from a few different languages?
(I ask because most other chains have a single dominant S.C. language, e.g. Solidity for Ethereum)

Should the Tezos community care more about bringing in dapp devs, or bringing in users for those applications?
Is it more important to grow our user count and activity levels for existing dapps, or to grow the number & variety of dapps running on Tezos?
Or maybe both are equal?

Should the Tezos community care at all about the protocol side of development?
Should we care about the level of funding that Tezos core developers receive, or the number of core devs?
Or can we assume they already have sufficient resources?
Will the protocol develop itself?

Tezos already has a higher max TPS than L1 Ethereum.
But for Q2 2022, the average TPS rate of Ethereum was more than 9 times that of Tezos, even though the gas costs are far lower on Tezos.
How do we bridge that gap?
This is the core of my questions.
More users? More activity?

My point is to raise discussion about what individual users and contributors might do to grow activity in the Tezos community
I think the tech will speak for itself, but I also think it's wrong to expect that the outside world will magically decide to come to Tezos on their own
