It doesnt matter for me if monero is a company or not. I talk about naked marketing for the increase of value (isn't this why most are here
).
If we want to have a wide acceptance of monero people have to know that monero is existant and about it's benefits. It is totally preposterous and dubios to claim that monero needs no marketing. Beside the fact that marketing was and is already a part of Monero. But it is expendable. I really dont understand why some people here are ignoring totally basic factors and than wonder why we haven't had a price explosion.
Marketing is a key function for success. Most people here are holding monero because they hope its somewhen more valueable as today. To believe monero itself will do this job is simply wrong.
Ah so, now you've bought in you're an expert on these things? Why don't we cut the crap and get to the bottom of your problem:-
You want the Monero price to rise because you've bought back in, and guess what, let's throw some mutha fucking marketing into the equation to help N-rG with his profits, so that hopefully one day, he can cash out and dump all over the community/noobs with lashings of evangelical FUD.
I guess you must be new here. Let me tell you what I see:-
I see a coin that has gone from nothing, and fiercely defended itself against other projects that have the luxury of unlimited treasuries as a consequence of scammy premines and instamines complete with all the fucking PR in the world, and won every single battle regardless.
I see a coin that has been routinely censored by a scammy corporate conspiracy of colluding interests who have tried at every turn to push the scams into the limelight at the expense of the Monero project and it's community.
I see a coin that has gone from nothing only to become the third biggest cryptocurrency in the scene. A coin that is now 5th or 6th on the marketcap, and one of three similar projects to be on StackExchange.
I see a coin that had no treasury, and no funny business; only an egalitarian genesis, and a commitment to make it work whatever the odds.
I see a coin that is routinely providing much trade volume for speculation, and has the volatility for serious profit.
I see a coin that is politically disruptive without comparison; the single best trustless untraceable blockchain in existence.
And all of this has been achieved without a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of.
Why do we need marketing when we are winning? Everything that we have done thus far has been WIN. Why change that? Just for your profits no doubt?
Let me know when we start to lose, and then maybe we can start to think about finding an Amanda B Johnson clone to push in front of a camera.
An outstanding exposition; very well said Sir.
It is indeed absurd to entertain the notion that Monero lacks a "price explosion" and/or is losing, as I play with 6 digits of house money on Poloniex.
But in the event Monero does need (shudder) marketing, I hereby nominate @BraveTheWorld to be our (most ideal potential) Scamanda B. Johnson analogue.
Your Hydra hasn't expressed any support or even awareness of Monero, yet she fully groks the crypto-revolutionary ethos+logos+pathos and if we Mustangs cannot get her on board we must pause and reconsider where our most noble cause went awry.
If Monero does earn her support and we are able to facilitate consequent joint marketing efforts, I anticipate we shall quickly gain a following among the Sovereign Individual Rees-Mogg crowd whose patronage I anticipated being an ideal fit for the lovely community here at Monero Mountain.
The only way I seem to be able to get rid of Monero is to go on a boat but that doesn't really accomplish anything.
