My understanding of this statement is that the dev wants to focus on product development but will still be responsible to the community, just with reduced interaction frequency. I think in the long run, this is a positive development. There are many devs in the crypto space who talk a lot but produce little; their tokens often have a short lifespan and a low cap. Creative and proactive devs are truly invaluable. Every great token that has appeared on-chain inevitably experiences significant volatility and pullbacks. In my view, the current volatility is still within a reasonable range. If this dev is a person who keeps their promises, I believe $GAS will provide a good outcome for those who are patient.
