One wonders what the most effective use of advertising / marketing is
now imagine a 40M buy wall on polo Versus other options.
Which one would get the most attention......
I kinda think the one with 10000 Bitcoins plus on polo, would probably be one of the most effective form of marketing......as everyone would be writing about it.
Also why did they choose Malaysia, proximity to singapore and less cost?
That is not marketing. Putting up big buy walls in an attempt to raise the price is basic market manipulation, leave that to the pump and dump whales. That 40M is raised by selling XEM out of the marketing fund. Turning around and buying them back isn't going to make any headlines, especially when daily volume of all crypto is over 4 billion.
NEM's approach is the "blue ocean strategy" so the best marketing would be to raise awareness of NEM's capabilities and advantages over other blockchain platforms to increase adoption and take it mainstream.
