Lets be honest, most of the crypto community is unpatient. Most of them do not actually want real marketing. They want fast marketing, even unthruthful if needed, for a weak product to dump @10x-20x
When you think about it, Gulden, even with such little marketing has created more awareness outside crypto than many other coins.
Rijk decided to go is way and take is distance from most crypto communities, can u really blame him? And, actually most critics are not critics, they are just frustrated opinions, who do not like Rijk way of doing things.
Whereas a lot of devs and CEO he is still here and doing is work. The fact that he wants to protect himself and think long term, is totally ok, why shouldn´t it be?
Think big or go home!
Marketing is not only social media presence. Think about it marketing is already 10 times better than most of the coins out there, and the serious part as not even started. There is not point in advertising if the product is not ready. Time will tell, but if Gulden becomes huge, then Rijk strategy was spot on!
Rijk uses slaves for devs and targets the poorest people in the streets. Why else does the ranking on coinmarketcap keep dropping?
Down to 128, it was 120 yesterday. The trend is not good. Why not market to the large btc holders instead of people with no money?
Serious investors look for long term growth and stability, others like Biomike have been calling for Gulden team to get a company going because when regulation and tax directives start coming AND they will , 99.9% of all the other coins are going to be in serious trouble. Seeing the Gulden.com B.V was more important then the iOS update for me personally. It shows Rijk is most likely already paying taxes.
This puts Gulden in a very strong position.
As for no rich people, I could easily keep the price at 3000sat for the next 5 years but serious investors know not to manipulate a serious project and there is many more like me that feel this way. It needs to grow naturally, Gulden is more then about making quick profits.
