Global Points:1. I don't remember anyone saying our marketing plans involved making an infomercial.
Quote from: delulo on August 12, 2014, 06:48:48 pmQuoteIf BTSX is such a good speculative investment, why are we sharing it with you and not keeping it to ourselves?To me the question doesnt make any sense because if everyone assumes that those who advertise it have already invested and have an interest that other people buy in (and no one is that naive to not assume that; and my marketing would not try to hide that) there would be no reason at all to hide it. It has to be made public so the initial investors can profit. The selling point is to buy in now so that you profit as well (a little less than the initial investors but still). And it's not a ponzi scheme because everyone will profit until the asset reaches it's fair value at which it will stay if it is adopted / has real world (mainstream) usage. That's a good pointEdit: I've changed it a bit to reflect that, but it's probably about as much as I'll do on it, obviously they can approach it however they like, but you point is a good one.

If BTSX is such a good speculative investment, why are we sharing it with you and not keeping it to ourselves?

If Fiat and or banks collapse, your BTSX will be untouchable and will probably benefit as a safe haven much like gold. Very accessible indeed - with no internet and no power grid.Like a gold in undiscovered gold mine...Lol. Prepping by definition involves 'preparation for many scenarios' . Power grid failure/attack/EMP are just some of many.Many prudent preppers have some digital currency and many more can be sold on the concept because of the advantages listed above.

QuoteIf BTSX is such a good speculative investment, why are we sharing it with you and not keeping it to ourselves? Because the one's advertising it have already made their investments in it to a degree that they would not invest more?
IF YOU ARE A PREPPER LOOKING FOR A FLEXIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO OUT OF CONTROL FIAT PAPER.It is a one man's opinion, but considering preppers as a target demographic to 'sell' BTSX to is...what is the word I am looking for... anyway, amusing.
Quote from: Stan on August 09, 2014, 04:00:53 amHere are a few off-the-cuff "infomercial style" selling points for why someone might want to buy lots of BTSX.What other selling points should we push and what other types of buyers should we target?IF YOU ARE A SPECULATOR SEEKING RAPID APPRECIATION1. BTSX is a better choice than Bitcoin if you are interested in rapid appreciation - it has better technology and much more room to grow.2. BTSX is a better choice for the growth investor than any other crypto-asset for the following reasons: It’s transactions are the fastest in the industry - exhilerating 10 second confirmations, not minutes or hours. It’s easier to use - named accounts not long crypto-keys. It’s transactions are completely private and untraceable. It spends its fees via elected delegates who compete to grow the industry rather than wasting them on environmentally unsound miners to burn precious energy resources. It gives some of its fees back to its holders by reducing the currency supply to increase their percentage share. It provides unique new services that will have very high demand - full-scale trading and low-volatility market pegged assets. It is part of the BitShares family of profitable unmanned companies - each reinforcing the brand recognition of all the others. Own them all! It has this marketing campaign driving its growth. No other coin does. All of these things make BTSX the best growth asset to own this fall.IF YOU ARE A TRADER SEEKING NEW INVESTMENT FLEXIBILITY AND FREEDOM In a new domain where there is less experienced competition and no unfair high-frequency-trading. Where you can be a big fish in a new pond. Trade inside your "coin" without certain tax penalties associated with moving in and out of fiat until you are ready to "cash out".IF YOU ARE A SAVER SEEKING A STABLE ALTERNATIVE TO BITCOIN VOLATILITY. Buy a digital asset that is market pegged to a more stable commodity or national currency.IF YOU ARE A PREPPER LOOKING FOR A FLEXIBLE ALTERNATIVE TO OUT OF CONTROL FIAT PAPER. Keep your wealth outside the system but where you can easily access and use it without interference.IF YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR LOOKING TO RAISE FUNDS Issue your own assets and trade them against everything else.USE BITCOIN FOR "CHECKING" AND BITSHARES FOR "SAVINGS"! Bitcoin has the most mature network of merchants and fiat on-ramps, BitShares lets you safely put to work what you don’t plan to spend right away where you control the mix of stability and leverage. Use the right tool for the right job. They work together in powerful synergy.Good Stuff, Thank you.

QuoteI am gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably because: you guys collected millions of dollars in funds, it's your name, and you are now trying to sell BTSX to people.If selling T-Shirts is profitable then we will probably do it. Right now we don't think it justifies our time and we could not cover the costs. If someone disagrees with us on that point then they can prove it by doing it profitably. The end result will be the same, we would likely recommend them. Consider it a job position that is 100% commission that we are looking to fill.

Thx for the slides ... just FYI, in physics, a quantum leap is sth very very very small .. everyone is using that falsely
Man I miss that show. Just brilliant.
