DigiTip or as I gather tipping people digital currency.... in the hopes that it will drive adoption... a gift to entice people to try say BTC or DGB.... to let people give a tip for articles or work already completed etc.. is a digital version of panhandling in my eyes.
I was skimming through the posts of this thread around the dates of mid April and I skimmed a discussion on trying to come up with a slogan. I was not too interested in a slogan for digitip but apparently that thread made an impression as I was sitting here in idle time thinking about DigiTip and I thought... rather than trying to find a slogan why not try to find a segment for DigiTip. By segment I mean really pin point an area or industry that can benefit from Tipping and Micro Transactions that would solve a problem or provide a service for people while giving the experienced and experts in that segment a way to generate revenue.
Breaking apart Digi Tip an idea came to me..... Why not position DigiTip as a way for end users to get answers (Tips and Advice) to digital technology questions and concerns. That segment is pretty large and there is a big need for all kinds of advice...plus there is already a ton of already active communities that could benefit from monetizing the free advice they are giving. Take for example general tech help questions that people have... DigiTip could put them in touch with an expert that can answer their question. To drive this home, provide a way for someone to purchase a DigiTip "card" (AKA a wallet) that is loaded with DGB. They then use this to pay for the DigiTip.
This creates a situation that adds a new level of value to DGB. Instead of buying some obtuse digital currency you are actually pre-buying access to experts that will provide you with solutions to questions about Digital Technologies. It breaks the mold of having value determined by exchange rates, network stats, and all the factors we use to try to communicate the worth of block chains and digital coins and establish value directly with the end user through the services they receive. If this could also be executed properly it would also break down the barriers of entry into obtaining and spending digital currency.
A $20 DigiTip card could represent 20 questions that can be asked of experts for example. How much time would it save someone if they could bust out their digitip card and get the answer to their in a timely manner? Would it be worth $1.00 to them... Would the expert appreciate all the DGB? What if 1 DGB were $1.00... would't they like that?
I know I would.
