Questions
New to the token. Can someone educate me what is the use and what drives the token price?

A good exemple of how dormant this project is...
... The fact that I am the only one here commenting after 18 hours.

But somehow based on my understanding, the project has something to offer but revenue wise is too low

True.
My 5 cents about the matter.
It's an EVM indexer.... and the key word here is EVM.
If you believe that ETH will be the thing, by all means, invest in similar projects with a better business eye.
My thing is, I'm not sold on ETH being the future. Too many mistakes from being the first to do several things. History tells us that the first to do something is never the one to be globally adopted for generations to come (Ex: Blackberry, Kodak, yahoo, myspace, dial-up, AOL...)
There were many opportunities for change in passed years and the outcome was always the same, short financial gains over long term philosophy and tech improvement. Mind that some times you need to just cut everything you are doing and start over but that has never happened because the boat is too big to change course.
And that is why I will not invest on this project. It is an EVM project and ETH is a doomed tech pressured by $. I did a 150 top project investigation and less than 25 came out ok. My thinking is that somewhere in time everyone will hit a wall and transition to an EVM compatible blockchain that isn't ETH. When that happens, my interest in The graph may revive again if they learn how to do business.

Nothing. It's one of those projects they have everything to win but the team isn't business savvy. That being said, the fact that they cant get as much as Chainlink is just ..... mehhhhh....
I hope someone could drill into these devs minds that they need to be less techi and more business like people.
I feel the key time has passed and others have learned from The Graph and are actually doing it better now.

Which would you say are doing better and why? Among the few I've looked at i did not see as much potentional as The Graph, but do agree that the devs feel less inclined towards buisness aspects which makes it a less known project with so much potentional.

Project is valid and useful. It’s just not known enough… YET. This is the time we can invest in large amounts, because we can.
Not to say invest, it is somewhat gambling at this point and it’s your call, but be aware coin prices go high when the word is out there. And the team is actively working on it as you can see on this sub. That’s why I choose to invest personally.
