You're In Business

The project proposes a valid agricultural utility but is severely undermined by highly exaggerated claims ('most people have used my product', 'everyone' audience), lack of verifiable metrics, and vague technical details. Citing an 'all time marketcap' instead of actual revenue indicates a speculative crypto/token project rather than a verifiable business with real software traction.
