Title: Bitshares Europe - what can we do?
Post by: ronald on April 09, 2015, 02:03:29 pm
Me and a few friends of mine in Holland/Europe are very interested in the concept of Bitshares.
What can we do here in Europe to get Bitshares succesfull? We have a lot of contacts, also in the financial world; university etc

Hey ronald. Glad you want to help the project! Reaching out to the circles you've mentioned to give presentations about bitshares concepts and innovations, educate businesses about the utility of bitshares adoption, entrepreneurs about the opportunity of leveraging the assets on the platform, and/or talk to people about the investment opportunity that bitshares represents.

Have you given any thought to creating a BitShares meetup on meetup.com? We are slowly growing our mindshare but representation in Europe is needed.

You shouldnt have to do anything. BitShares is supposed to be a great product that offers a service that people actually want. Once people can trade from the web-based wallet and easily deposit their BTC into it, awareness of this product will spread as easily as sharing a url to wallet.bitshares.org. It shouldnt require people evangelizing on campuses.

Right???

Edit: Helping & spreading word is great, my point was just that products should be good enough to sell themselves.

Hi Ronald welcome on board!

We had a talk about BitShares last month in Amsterdam on Bitcoin Meetup

http://bitcoinmeetup.nl/2015/03-17.html

Guess we will organize more in near future! Where you're located !?
I'll create a seperate Amsterdam BitShares Meetup.com page soon.

Selling sells.  Products do not sell, unfortunately.

Is that a technical problem, that the web-wallet cannot be pinched smaller and bigger. This is very important, cause I could make several new users a day otherwise (i guess)

AFAIK web wallet isn't for mobile purposes .. guess moonwallet and limewallet will fit for this ..

To be offline for a while and to meet family gave me power. Not to pay for sleeping and be in a safe private spot in the middle of nature without fear of police wakes me up, helped me to relax. But that is really a bummer with the wallet, cause it looks as if the pinch problem is the only thing which keeps me from using it on the phone.

Forget moonstone for a second, the web wallet works on the phone. It is just the start page which doesnt change size. Frigging simple to change that i guess?! Once you created the acc, the pinching works. I offer 500 bts from liondani, lol, to fix it asap! Liondani can you do this for me, i have no access to my funds. :-)

Can offer trade BTS directly to people (lot of people are unbanked by scam crisis, put out his house but keep debt in bank account)(another people just not want his name mixed in exchanges)

service instalation adaptation for merchants

legal forum - laws understanding, ,, legal doubts stop ton of people

Central web for Crowfunding proyects upgrades or new proyects with social contract.

You're very welcome for the trifold, it looks nice with our logo ;p
