These are infomercials for Lisa and performa, you can't say that apple "relied on" as Lisa was only a one time deal that never took off and the performa infocommercial is a campy video that in recent times has become comedic material for the internet. I do see your point in marketing on financial channels. However I have hesitations in infocommercial generally because they have the feel of a salesmen trying to sell you something you don't want. I want bitshares products to be associated with the best campaigns. Rarely do you find an infocommercial for the top of the line products because they use more savvier market channels to reach their audiences.

Not only that but people need to see how Bitshares works, how to use it. It's just like explaining the personal computer in the 1980s.

Perhaps we should avoid the negative connotations of a "Scam Wow" infomercial and just call it a "Tutorial Video" for folks who visit this forum and ask for a way to get spun up in a half-hour while eating popcorn in their back-yard hammock.Nevertheless, it would take the full scope of a half-hour or even an hour long infomercial to cover everything someone might need to know to fully spin up on the BitShares ecosystem.

How are we supposed to get market adoption when the bitUSD is not yet there ...Also the "market adoption" (if you want to call it that) of Bitcoin took what? 4-5 years? ... the btsx chain is out for not even a month now .. I think we are doing pretty good ... but sure .. more can be done .. as usual

Money is leaving the ecosystem as a whole and adoption rate has slowed. Bitcoin prices are down despite good news and infrastructure development. In my opinion not enough effort has gone into promoting mainstream adoption. How are we supposed to reach the people who aren't crypto-anarchists, anarcho-capitalists, or anarchists at all?They are looking for return on investment, to make money, to invest, to get rich, or there is something they've always wanted to do but could never do before until now.

I hate myself when I think 'marketing' but:Here is my thought - BTS X is so fast and so good, that we can just advertise the system as decentralized exchange. Leaving the inner workings (i.e. blockchain based technology) for the time when somebody is already interested, skipping the need to explain BTC first (not only daunting task but resulting in less then 10% success rate in my experience) and grabbing the attention and interest of a bigger, much bigger audience. After posting that I will ran away from marketing as fast as I can...

This is a premature celebration. All top 10 crypto except NXT took a downward trend. The real gauge would be the if Bitshare starts trading BitAssets.
