We have real solar and traditional mining. We invest in other projects involved with the crypto ecosystem at heart. We create and attend meet-ups locally. We are finding real people in crypto that want to build infrastructure and provide a safe place for investors to start. Our classes at the community center are very diversified. We teach them the pitfalls and make sure they understand the basics of saving, spending and processing crypto.
With all due respect to BitCoinTalk, all we get is people trying to manipulate the price with posting positive and negative unsubstantiated comments. You cannot make a coin without creating a product and clear all legal hurdles. We are almost three years along and still bring in enough to stay on the markets we choose.
We are not another ETH fugal token or a blockchain with no purpose. We have to be conscious that Crypto has a bad reputation and these novice investors are prey. Yes some individuals are making short term gains but, in order to brining Crypto Market Capitalization to a Trillion Dollars, we all have to build.
Build TRUST, pipe dreaming an ICO rarely ever works out good for the investors. The money raised is spent on elaborate marketing schemes that bring very little to the project and lines the pockets of the developers. When the ICO cash wears out, the developers disappear, they don't have a clue how produce what's promised and do not have the credit to go into debt to make it work.
You should work to bring all these things you mention to public. You talk about the solar and traditional mining - You could do a video log where you represent the system for everyone. In a short time, you'd give an concrete example of what and how TRUST functions. At the present, the ideas you give about TRUST are vague. Who are the backers you've gathered? How are they supporting the coin? In general, who is this WE?
Please, direct your energy towards making TRUST better instead of bashing other coins, although I agree with your views on ICO. I also agree that bitcointalk is used for market manipulation at times via FUD. My intention is not that, I am genuinely interested of this project. The FUD people are always around, but not all critique is FUD, right?
