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?

"...targets the poorest people in the streets"
First, street advertising or mass marketing has not even really started. And, there are not only poor people on the streets!
"Rijk uses slaves for devs..." wow...please explain...If so I think Rijk slaves have more BTC and Gulden then most people in crypto. Which would mean that being Rijk´s slaves is actually not so bad!

Target large BTC holders, that is a very creative strategy! Please do go deeper...

Large BTC holders are the future richest people on earth, getting at least 5 of them to support your project will be worth more then 10 000 peasants who will cash out at 5% - 15% profits as was posted by TimBurton on the Gulden slack. Mainstream people with fiat think anything greater then 5% profit is reason to sell everything, crypto investors at least wait for 100-1000% profits, they allow the price to grow. More crypto investors that believe in your project the stronger the foundations of this coin will be. Rijk turning his back on crypto investors is dangerous and looking at the CMC rankings Gulden could of been doing far better then it is now. GRS without any marketing is higher then Gulden but GRS respected BTC investors with deep pockets and it's paying off.

I do agree on some points but I think Rijk is not turning is back on crypto community but rather protecting is project and keeping developement behind close doors! Which also gets weak hands to dump and true believers do step in and hodl. Of course not every investors is happy with this strategy.

Crypto community and big investors do not get enough visibility or insiders info to step in. Rijk is doing this because he has a long term strategy. He knows that by playing with the whales you lose partly control over your project.

I think big crypto holders know about Gulden but have been waiting on the sidelines or accumulating.
