People aren't a fan of him on Twitter but hey, I got harassed when we started this. I personally am not a fan of him but hey, take that with a grain of salt.
It is a good thing to see more coins coming in for this industry as it spreads awareness into markets that we may not have had any attention in. People will see crypto breaking, be pointed into forums and start to see the developments happening and opportunity. We were the first and made a very unique development that is still growing. We are now seeing more people and will open the minds to new developments and buyers which will help the social advertising industry in crypto as a whole IMO.
The only concern I am worried is the bad image in this market. He is known for being a spammer which is much different than targeted content advertising so I do hope we can keep our innovations apart and people can see the difference between the two industries other than one being semi illegal and one being opt-in.
My only regret is I wasn't creative enough to be a "celebrity dev" or some other catchy name. =(
I agree that Viral can only help SMAC because it will increase people's awareness of the potential to make huge amounts of money in social media advertising.
Remember when CANN went from around 700 sat to 15,000 last year? Well when that happened, people started realizing the potential for crypto in the marijuana industry and the next thing you know, Maryjanecoin went to 10,000 sat (up from 1,000) and so did Dopecoin, Hempcoin, Cannacoin and even THCcoin :-P!
My point is, having Viral in the picture will only increase awareness in social media advertising and that can only be good for SMAC! (well unless Viral turns out to be a scam or dud that is, lol....at this point I'm guessing it is legit but we'll see)
