I think one thing that would helps us secure widespread adoption is an easy way for the public to purchase coins from our orphan fund. Crypto is still difficult for the masses and learning how to mine BBP is a more involved process. But, people are often willing to support a good cause, especially if there's a possibility that whatever they contribute might have a greater yield in the future.
Is there any way for us on our website to set up a way to purchase BBP directly with fiat currency? I understand that this could be complicated... but I think it has enormous potential to catapult us to viral status. We'd have to make it very, very, very simple.
1. Go to BBP Website and click "Support orphan fund."
2. Input credit card information.
3. Install Mobile Wallet and punch in receiving address for your BBP or better yet, use a scanner to link the BBP address to your purchase.
4. Receive "Thank You for your support. $1,000 has been donated to the orphan fund and 1,000,000 BBP has been credited to your address. Your support makes a difference in the life of a child, NOW."
5. A meter on the website increases 50%, 70%, until 100% of the coins in the charity wallet are distributed.
6. Every week, the website features stories of how BBP is growing and made a direct impact in the lives of children featuring amazing stories, pictures with kids holding up BBP signs, and testimonies of field directors and others who are grateful. This could easily garner headlines from news sources, Reddit, "A crypto with a conscience, BBP" or the "BBP, first crypto to break into the masses with easy-to-purchase system and direct impact on orphans."
7. A top 10 list of biggest donators this week can appear on the website as well. Perhaps in the future, this would given incentive for companies and other organizations to donate so that their names would be shown to be contributing to an important cause. Maybe even a 140 word re-tweetable line they're allowed to write. e.g. "BBP aligns with our organizations values of supporting and giving back to the community."
I know this wouldn't be classified as a true donation since they're actually making a purchase, but everyone will understand that primarily, it's about getting $$$ to a good cause.
The effect of this would be:
1. Removing the monthly coin dump on the exchange Right now, the dump of coins causes a major fluctuation in the price. I also notice, that some people upon reading Rob's announcements, have been dumping their coins on the exchange to drive the market low, so that they can buy back the orphan wallet coins cheap. I've been monitoring the market, and this happened in June when someone put up a huge sell wall on South, then again at the end of July as prices depressed close to the superblock. Removing the monthly coin dump would help stabilize the price.
2. Attracting new investors Investors are what we need to increase the price of the coin. BBP has very strong fundamentals (direct impact on children, curing cancer and diseases) that give this coin an edge over all the other worthless coins in cyberspace. Currently, initiatives like Dash Evolution are trying to tap the unreached masses. If we could find a way for people to easily purchase BBP with fiat, we could actually be one of the first to get into the untapped masses. BBP has a huge advantage over other coins in that, people are scared to put money into something they don't understand and could be valueless in the future. However, if they understand their "donation" goes DIRECTLY to changing lives now, and as a bonus they get some coins, many people would just treat it as that, "a donation." If the project tanked, they wouldn't think their money was wasted at all. I think you could get tons of people who know nothing about crypto, but have heard of bitcoin, saying "Hey, that's a great idea, I'm not into crypto, but I'd be happy to donate, and if I get a token in return, sweet." So, they'd simply want to "donate" and support a good cause and have the fun of saying that they now own some crypto. I figure there a number of regular folk who would happily donate as long as they could SEE that their money actually went directly to a good cause, AND it was EASY to do.
In short, given that we have strong fundamentals, I think what we need now is just exposure and good marketing that capitalizes on these strengths.
