Re: [NEM] NEM -New Economy Movement - No Envy Movement - Updates+Discussion thread
I understand what you mean, and I didn't mean to say that the whole reason would be as a "PR stunt". I just think helping charitable organizations is a great thing to do, and with the way this coin is distributed it presents an extremely easy way to allocate a lot of funds to a worthy organization so that we can not only immediately begin using our new coins, but also provide a positive benefit to society in doing so AND also possibly gaining positive PR from that endeavor. There is no guarantee that any publicity of any sort will even come of it, but that's okay because that is not the reason why I proposed the idea. The first and foremost reason is to help a worthwhile cause, and second is to maybe give some exposure to NEM.
And anyway, it's just an idea.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply it was you I was talking about -- it wasn't -- it was just a general impression from the thread.
Also, I certainly did not mean to imply that PR is a bad thing. It is not. I am just saying that PR is tricky. One has to think about how any campaign is perceived. And, I am just saying that stakeholders are going to be perceived as naturally biased and everything that is done will be looked at from that angle.
All ideas (including charity) should be on the table. But, I am just pointing out that a focus on the possible benefits attainable to new users will be a huge step in eventual success. When the coin goes way up in value, then later, any charity chosen will be even happier.
