I don't think that "big name" influencers are a very good investment, honestly. I think something more grassroots, which Merit appears to have seems like a better approach, honestly.
It does seem like one of the only ANN threads here that is not dominated by bots - which is a pretty good sign already.
Yeah, I mostly agree with this. I haven't seen any published numbers, but do big-named influencers actually do anything to make these projects bigger or more successful?
Seems like a pretty big investment for a lot less return.
I think some actual "Crypto Influencers" might be interesting here because their audience is already following the crypto space.
But I also understand that the project is trying to expand the crypto community -- so I'm not sure how to handle that. Maybe some main-stream tech influencers? What about a twitch streamer?
