As awesome and admirable the community's efforts are to make this coin work, I just don't see that happening anymore. And before anyone yells out "FUD!", read what I have to say please and rebut any observations and assumptions I've made if you think I'm wrong.

 I've been watching this coin since it first came out and to me, it's past the point where it can be popular. I see barely anybody jumping on the TiPS wagon now, for starters, even with this rebrand launch. Not to mention the fact it's still tied to the "atheist coin" image. I heard someone here mention that the vast majority of the world population doesn't know anything about the "tips fedora" and "atheist fedora" meme. And yes, that is true. But let's face it: where do all of these coin communities start? Internet communities like this one. The first adopters of most, if not all cryptocurrency are avid internet users, and it's those people that know about the meme. The coin's been around for almost 4 months, that is more than enough time to deter people from taking this coin seriously simply because of its name.

It's a damn shame to see this coin falling down after so much has been done to revitalize it. A lot of talented people are behind this coin. I think that the only way to revive the coin and get a lot more usage is if people went out and "evangelized", so to speak, similar to what dogecoin people have done.

I agree that we do need to start getting the word out better and recruiting new people and people that have left the community.  Maybe we can get some kind of charity involved  where we donate for a good cause.  We know there are enough bad things happening to people everyday, that we can find and help with. 

If you have any ideas we can try to get them started pretty quick.  I have noticed that the causes seem to be a good way to get attention and dogecoin doesn't have to be the only coin that does it.  We have plenty of coins, so we should try to make use of them.

I also think we need an awesome slogan to be associated with TiPS-Fedoracoin that people can use all the time and feel cool about it Cheesy, something witty and funny and catchy. I believe a great reason for the doge success is their funny much wow, very coins thing going. Maybe some of you who know the meme can invent something like that, because I still don't get the meme! Is it a tip of the hat thing? then we should start finding cool photos of people with hats and writing funny slogans beneath or something like that? the photo of the doge, with the funny smily dog and it's silly ways of talking is so catchy (similar to why silly cat photos are so loved on the internet). We need a slogan, or way of talking in sending tips, well you get the point Smiley
Any ideas?
