Here's a response by MobileCoin folks:

> Signal had to verify that MobileCoin worked before exposing their users to the technology. That process took a long time because MobileCoin has lots of complicated moving parts.

> With respect to price, no one truly understands the market. It’s impossible to predict future price.

Reeks of utter BS. As the reply on this tweet says, features can be developed while being kept switched off with a flag.

But maybe you don't want everyone to know about all the features / announcements months in advance?

They already did this development privately. I don't think anyone has a problem with building out a new feature before it's announced. The problem people have, IMO understandably, is that they pushed this code to production servers instead of testing it privately.
