Yes, thedashguy needs to tone it down a bit.
TheDashGuy No reason to assume an insult or negative response is coming.
I think the main idea here is that we need to be selective on how we are marketing. If we want investors - then target the investors, understand that we need to be able to retain their funds and finish certain parts of the ecosystem. If we target users, then the merchant acceptance should be a big part of that. If we hire an outside company, then they need to direct this type of marketing based on the potential audience. We need to be very involved in decisions and timing the marketing company is making so we can help them get the right message out. Maybe we wait for a month for something groundbreaking to be released and then promote that.
I see PR as promoting Dash to everyone in the same way all the time. Spending a lot in this area, doesn't seem right to me.
so the 'issue' is hiring a Professional PR Company ?
do i understand that correct ?
"I see PR as promoting Dash to everyone in the same way all the time."
that is where a pro company comes in, they know how to selective push Dash
what i am doing here is just keeping us afloat, keeping pages going, maintaining pages, extending social media presence and the likes, sending out Press Releases, talking to journos direct about story ideas,getting us out there as much as i can, keeping an eye on corporate identity and design, ..... (remember when i started there was NOTHING, no CI, no PR, no logos on wallets,....)
but there is a big difference in this and Pro Marketing obviously
Investors vs Users
- Investors
(to some degree in these early stages all investors are users and vice versa)
if we are talking about whales, well it is all about who knows who, the conferences have shown that these personal connections (and introductions) are key to get into these whales heads and pockets
wink
, hence the BTC Roundtable the guys are going to this weekend. Amazing opportunity to sit down in person with these whales and talk business !
investment, business opportunities, joint ventures,....
but you need that introduction. i am not at all well enough connected in that BTC whale gang to pull something like that off, i am not sure who from our community would be ?
(i am NOT mentioning the 'T' word)
- Users
(as mentioned, in these early stages all users are investors and vice versa)
yes we have to build an ecosystem for these users to spend their coins and get involfed !
but what is such eco system for , if nobody knows us (hence: build up user base).
Chicken = Egg all over, and that is the thin line in PR/Marketing.
and that is exactly why we are (trying) working on all levels parallel, no investors no market cap, no users no eco system, no eco system no users, no market cap no nothing,....
see where i am getting at
remember, the final decisions in all of this come from the Masternodes !
the team puts it out there, the masternodes vote and it goes from there.
there seems to be some 'conspiracy theory' that the team does whatever ..., and obviously that is nonsense as all budgets run through the usual open channels !
i know you guys have some issues with that, but please consider that there is public voting, accept the votes and opinions of others !
that is what the system is build for
