Hi everyone! The past few days there have been some concerns with BC price dipping a bit, and other concerns that the Volume has decreased by more than half. I would like to point out that BlackCoin is just over a month old and it has gained a lot of value in a very short span of time.
That being said I do believe more can be done on the PR side of things to start generating some positive buzz around BlackCoin. We need to be different than the other cryptocurrency communities and approach mass adoption differently. Most investors that might be interested in investing in BlackCoin do not go to these forums, nor do they read websites related to cryptocurrencies. So we have to bring the BlackCoin news to them.
I have a writer I have used for over 7 years and he write all my press releases. I am writing down BlackCoin's key benefits and he will then write the release. I use a PR service that will submit our release to all the top business and financial sites. This should be the first step at introducing BlackCoin to the masses.
Everyone here already knows the benefits of BlackCoin so I wont list them all. However, in the press release I want to point out BlackCoin is not an ordinary cryptocurrency. It is more like a t-bill/bond/savings account for cryptocurrency. Whereas Bitcoin and other cyrptocurrency prices fluctuate wildly based on postive/negative news, BlackCoin prices are less volatile and a better overall investment.
I am going to schedule the release for the week of April 8th to coincide with the Cryptocurrency Convention in NYC . Once the press release is live the community can start posting links to the release everywhere we can.
I am going to use my own money to pay the writer and the press release distribution service. The writer charges approximately $80 depending on how many words, and the press release service charges $499+ to distribute to financial websites including Yahoo! Finance, Bloomberg, and the Wall Street Journal to name a few.
If you guys want to contribute and help with the cost you can send contributions here: BQQsUdYaqCGUDhdXPADto1gKwvEA2a92TP
I can pledge $100 if you put up a bitcoin address.
I think the key is for us to compare it with Bitcoin so people can understand it. I would like us to mention:
- Must faster transaction speeds compared to Bitcoin. This is more convenient in general but also makes it more practical for point of sale transactions
- Pure proof of stake compared to Bitcoin's proof of work. This makes blackcoin less wasteful of energy (a good figure to quote would be $17 million bitcoin miners use in electricity every day - google for the exact figure)
- Much cheaper in price and market capitalisaion compared with Bitcoin. This means investors and speculators have a much larger potential upside with huge growth possibilities.
Since we want this to coincide with the Cryptocurrency Convention in NYC I think this will be a fruitful approach since a lot of people will already be familiar with Bitcoin so it we highlight Bitcoin's weakness and compare them to Blackcoin's strengths it will have a greater impact.
I want to thank everyone who has contributed so far!
Mr_Random I will have the writer incorporate your suggestions in the press release. The BTC address is: 1PePCJCQ8C7UEcSV3ssxmvm1pbRSqQm3B6
Once you send the BTC I will convert immediately to BC and then add you to the list. I want everyone to be able to publicly track what we raised.
