Rand Paul Money, RPM, sounds good.
you said
Rand Paul Money. So you think the Rand Paul is still better than Ron Paul to base the name of the coin around? I also want this to be at least considered by people to be a long term coin.
Yeah, I think he meant "Ron" Paul Money since he said "Money" instead of "Coin"
So, I'm going with typing error, because nobody in 10 pages of thread has put those 3 words together in that specific order.
There is concern on what we lose with the word deflationary.
I see what you are saying, you want to use "Deflationary" as a brand.
That's actually a brilliant idea.
"Ron Paul Deflationary Money"
Ron Paul Money is already 2 syllables longer than BitShares so we will never win any "short, cute, hip, and catchy" "brand name" marketing battles with BitShares. We might not be as hip as Dogecoin, but a basic law of marketing states that if you deciding to chose the "short, hip, and catchy" brand route like "BitShares," then you will forever have to lug around the ball and chain of ambiguity. "Dogecoin," "Bitcoin," and "BitShares are forever ambiguous to the uninitiated. Have you ever tried explaining bitcoin to someone? Try ethereum or BitShares, it's impossible because after you say:
Today, Billy, we will be learning about "Ethereum", Billy says "wowwwwwwwwwwwwww, it sounds like space milk!" Then you have to say, "no, no Billy, it is sound money. And right there, we lose little Billy, because outer space is way more exciting to dream about than money.
"BitShares" (and most short and hip brand names are meant to be exclusive because those who are in the know are hip, so it is a marketing by exclusion angle that is pompous by nature) could mean
anything to the uninitiated, and we must therefore be the opposite. Taking the opposite route by being honest, transparent, and not excluding the uninitiated, gives a sense of trust in the name alone. In other words, we are being up front with our customers, by trying to expose as much of ourselves in the most effective manner.
Because BitShares and Dogecoin chose "hip" brand names, then they also have to take, not only the untrustworthy douchebag (I know something that you don't ha ha) baggage, but they have to take the "ambiguous" ball and chain as well. Ambiguous is different than untrustworthy, because it means that not only does your customer not trust you initially, but he has to learn the punchline to your inside joke as well. I know because I've lived this for the past year.
Therefore we must expose this weakness of "too hip for you ambiguity" that BitShares/Dogecoin has, and proceed with our "clear and all encompassing" brand name.
Exposing your opponent's weakness is basic common sense, and effective strategy.
When you hear "Ron Paul Deflationary Money" you know exactly what it is, and have a secure, stable, and strong reference point to lay a foundation of understanding upon from a new user point of view. You automatically take whatever understanding of "sound money" concept they have and explain more from there.
When explaining the esoteric "BitShares" or "Ethereum" or "Bitcoin" to people, their minds first jump to Jupiter, then you have to bring them all the way back to earth in the next sentence when you try to tell them that you are simply talking about "sound money"
You must see the genius here, it is your genius at work, I'm just reaffirming your genius, because I've been struggling to get people to understand "BitShit" for over a year, and I would love the chance to explain "Ron Paul Deflationary Money" to someone, it would be millions of brain cells easier because you already have frame of reference and understanding with the user after you lay the brand on him.
It is a unique strategy in explaining/branding (being the same thing) cryptocurrency (just like you admit that "nobody is using "money") today. It's not only a revolutionary tech, it's a revolutionary crypto marketing angle!
Nobody in crypto had the ballz to use the word "money" as a brand for fear of gov intervention (let alone the "deflationary" brand of money)(dude, u r d shiz), but the altcoin craze started and got huge
before the irs legalized bitcoin. But every copycat coin kept right on copying the no ballz and no "money" branding strategy that Bitcoin coined and Dogecoin made famous.
Lets preach this: Bitcoin 1.0, the catchier the name the bigger the scam. Bitcoin 2.0 - explaining crypto technology that you can use.
When you ask someone "what is BitShares", they initially (and always, because only 1 man really knows the answer) get the question wrong initially, so when you go on to the next question, "what is money?" and they don't know that either, you say "you don't know what sound money is either, stupid?" and you are pissing them off by that point.
You will never know what BitShares is after learning only one concept. So the customer has to overcome failure (of getting the opening question horribly wrong), and still want to learn about it. It is hard to get them to do.
But people will have a much better idea of what Ron Paul Deflationary Money is after only hearing it spoken, and learning one additional concept (whatever that is that helps them grasp the whole).
Your "brand name" is your syllabus or instruction manual to teaching them the coin.
You say the name, and then they ask you to clarify one of many aspects: money, crypto, deflationary (whatever they are stuck on at the time). You unstick those concepts, and then they have it.
If you start out with "what is sound money?" then they will at least give you their attention for one learning lesson, then when they learn the simpler concept of money, they feel smart, then they will be encouraged to learn more, and then you teach them another simple lesson. Baby steps, never stumbling
"Yeah, you got the sound money question correct, what's next?"
Instead of:
You: What is BitShares?
Them: "I don't know"
You:"Wrong" BitShares is sound money. What is sound money?
Them: "I dont know"
You: "Wrong".....
By that point, they are like, "who is this doosh"
I know because I am that doosh!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sdVx5gQz6wOur opponent’s weakness must become our strength, and there is no better way to expose this weakness than to name this coin exactly what it does. BitShares suffers from lack of adoption due to it being too difficult to explain. We must fight to make our coin clear right from the title and we will not only differentiate ourselves from BitShares, but we will differentiate ourself from all crypto including bitcoin as well.
You are a genius.
Ron Paul Deflationary Money
I take back what I said about you earlier:
Changing from RPCD to RPM (RandPaulCoinDeflationary vs RandPaulMoney).
Marketing Move of the Millenium
"Ron Paul Deflationary Money" is pure market branding genius.
Crypto is having a marketing crisis currently, and what we will do is choose something simple like "just saying what the product does!
"Why no one's ever tried that!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwDUzSWoCjoIt's genius ala Jim Henson
They say that you must choose your battles, and this is an excellent strategic tactic in this marketing war.
So in essence we are turning the "battle of the brands" into a "teach our customers about DPOS" fight/opportunity. And after hearing the name brand "Ron Paul Deflationary Money" you already know exactly what it does. What more do you need to say after that.
"BitShares" went with simple and ambiguous, therefore, we would be most successful (in differentiating ourselves from BitShares) by going as far as we can go in the polar opposite direction. You have vision, man, I salute you.
