[email protected] Advising Garza on how to herd the masses and take advantage of the "bad trolls" to cause investors to HODL and buy... This woman needs to be included in the scum pile.
So, just to recap - I can take liberties with what I write that you can't, for obvious reasons. As such, we do a good job of demonizing trolls, but to date we really haven’t taken much advantage of using what they represent to motivate our community, until now. Yes, we will engage and fight them, but do we look at them as a united front looking to do us harm? We should. The US and Soviet Union carried on a 'cold war’ for forty years by pitting each 'community' against the other to attain certain ends. In this case we want to motivate our community to use their coins in such a way as to thwart the ends of the 'enemy’ trolls. I can blow the trumpet and call the community to arms - probably better you don't - but don't discourage it either. Ultimately, the important thing is we need people to be less concentrated on the 29th and think about better things to do with their coins than to ROI 500% on day one and go away.
Of course, this is just the table setter. We will have some time to judge the community's reaction to this and adjust strategy as necessary - also allows you to come in with some cold hard facts instead of explaining why you have to make adjustments in the short term (if necessary)…
I think, mainly, this hits the tone you want to set and starts the ball rolling on managing expectations. It's easy to go from what I've written here to what you want to do which is to either head off a big Dec 29th selloff, or ramp up the price over time (if necessary). You can always claim that the initial price offering was lowered to cope with 'external, malicious actors’ trying to eat up the CAF on day one.
