Charles, Dan, and Stan should work together along with Brian to devise a effective marketing plan. When I look at Stellar's launch a week ago, I believe Bitshares could learn from its launch. Do you guys agree? Let me know your thoughts.
Hadn't heard of Stellar. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole myself. Huge Sharedrops, which so far have only crashed coins, and often seem to be a mechanism to reward devs while trying to appear fair, such as NEM, even sceptical of some others...
This is probably the funniest thing I've read in a while -
The Foundation received a loan of $3,000,000 from Stripe which was subsequently repaid with 2% of the stellars. The Foundation is allowed to use up to 5% of the initial stellars to fund operations (including the loan repayment).
That would mean Stripe needs Stellar to be worth $150 000 000 just to break even? Like hell they made that initial investment on those terms imo.
The Stellar share drop via Facebook was a great way to market. The clean interface and straight forward signup process gave ordinary people the opportunity to obtain the new currency. As a result, many people outside of the crypto community now has Stellar. I don't think we can say the same for Bitshares. See the Stellar statshttps://www.stellar.org/stats/. I just hope we can borrow some aspects from this project and leverage them to our benefit.
I just want BitShares to succeed and adoption is critical to accomplish this end.
