I checked out GEMS and make an account and it was just wasting only time! only alpha version that do soooo basic task !!! you are going to invest just for version that show to submit a task, as person who know some coding I can make one like that. CryptoTask is complex platform, you need a full version to see how reviewer vote, how a dispute solve, how reviewers get reward, how this the whole system is going to work in practice. I'm not wasting here my time on platform that put task and show how to submit a task which we already all know and see on freelancer platforms. I got interested in cryptoTask for those features that they explained in their white people and that's why I told you there is on point in making invest decision based a on simple task like the one that alpha version shows you.
This is not about just investing in the project. For those kind of projects you need a strong community. You build first your community bcs there is a possibility to interact in the platform/webpage even its an alpha version. GEMS is also going to be a decentr. complex blockchain based platform and I also mentioned that they are similar but not identical. This is also why I support more Cryptotask bcs it includes more options and possibilities then GEMS but they may can just implement the idea to build a big community first.
Priority is at this stage is for targeting investors and collect money which will allows them later to spent money on marketing and targeting the right customers, such platform needs people with skills to do task and people that look for someone to do their task and investors who have money to work like reviewers. Anyone outside this list is unhelpful. Quantity does not mean anything to this type of platforms.
I think in every ICO is quantitiy very important so that they can get enough investors to reach their soft and hard cap. And its also an easy step when they interact their followers/investors with the platform so that everybody sees CryptoTask team is doing something and they have a working product even its an alpha or beta version. After the launch the customers are going to select for their projects the right person with right skills for their tasks. And u can even not prohibit someone to sign up in this decentr. platform even they have not the right skills, this will gonna happen all the time. So this is not the main problem. Some of them stay as investor, some of them with right skills task worker and some of them are going to trade just their token in exchanges.
You ran airdrop and get like over 5000 on telegram and twitter and enter the room you find the admin to talk to himself, You ran airdrop and get over 5000 users on the platform and just few on them are active, in other hand, you can find a project with 700 and most of them are investors and most of them are active, so quality is always better while quantity is just waste of time for platform that has specific product that works only for certain category of people.
On Cryptotask if you work as freelancer you need to deposit 10% of task value that means if don't have skills to do freelancer job you just end up losing your money because the client will take you money as you just waste his time.
As reviewers you need to deposit big money in order to make money on platform
As client that has task that needs to be done, you have to deposit money in order to post you task.
As trader your place is exchanges.
keep in mind that decentralized platform doesn't work like centralized platform, there is no traditional account that stay on the service, you will use Metamask and if have a tokens and ether you can do action, if don't have, is like you don't exist.
yeah these are important point of views which I also agree with most of them.
But we still discussing about a project which does not launch yet. And a startup company needs to reach min. the soft cap and in ideal way the hard cap.
Even the one who has no skills but heard about this project, can buy his tokens cheaper and trade them in exchanges. So it doesnt hurt the project to gain more followers without skills; just gives the project a good shot of eth or btc to reach the softcap or hard cap easier.
