use following slogan ( i am a chinese )
BTS, Be The Star! to the moon
why do you think this forum has a lot of Chinese guys?
They know that they can't "Free their Money" with bitcoin. But they see this potential with Bitshares.
I don't know if 'Free your Money' says enough about Bitshares because you can say that about Bitcoin (even though it has flaws.) Why do you say they can't free their money with Bitcoin?
I agree with you about the Chinese guys though they are basically driving Bitshares volume at the moment.
BTC/PTS volume is only like $3000 daily, so basically on life support.
CNY/PTS is $14 000
So we should definitely put the slogans to the Chinese audience or ask them to come up with one that they feel speaks to them the most.
Hmm... Sounds good, but not great in English. Even though I suggested it, I guess we'd need a Chinese site really. Which I don't think is on the agenda for now.
Other marketing thoughts:
1. Counterparty seems to be having some of the same marketing problems, so even though I'd like to see Brian a lot more active on this forum and others, both getting involved in understanding and promoting Bitshares better, it is perhaps not as much as a Bitshares specific crisis as I initially supposed. (I think the main target market in the development stage is a small subset of the alt-coin investor market, if you don't appreciate Crypto-currency and haven't made the effort to invest in anything more than Bitcoin, then you're unlikely to understand and make the effort to get into Bitshares at this stage, so I still think they should be our target more than the mainstream at this stage.)
2. Having a look at all the suggestions we came up with I have to admit, Brian's suggestion was my favourite and except for the Bitcoin reference, his initial
'Doing for business what Bitcoin is doing for money' isn't that bad. Maybe 'Doing for business what crypto-currency is doing for money.'?
The thing I wanted to solve was communicating Bitshares is an angel fund that gets you a stake in a lot of future DAC's, but if there are some DAC/Industry icons on the homepage/web advert that should do the job.
Question: Brian is the reason we don't have any DAC/Industry icons on the homepage at the moment because you don't think it's a good idea (which is fine) or for legal reasons?
