Lets Be More Proactive

Let address the elephant in the room. Some are concerned with the recent daily price drops. Seasoned investors keep telling the newcomers to calm down and everything will be fine, but it is hard for investors to calm down when they see the price slowly drop each day. I agree ups and downs are part of any financial product and unfortunately down days and down weeks are part of the game. However, that does not mean we need to sit around and watch the price slowly drop and not do anything about it. I witnessed the same behavior with the Mint community, and after weeks of delusional blind "faith" I cashed out. It has been nearly two months and they are still waiting for the price to recover. I respect the opinions of the other seasoned investors but we need to be realistic. Investors want to invest in winners not "losers". It is hard to convince investors we are a winner when they see the trend line pointing downwards.

At the end of March and the early part of April we were proactive at getting the word out about BlackCoin, and we were able to see clear results from our efforts. Last week and this week we did not do any promotional activities similar to what we previously did and the downward price reflects that. Our press releases and promotional campaigns do work and you can see the results for yourself. Just match the days and weeks of our press releases with the market history and you will clearly see the effect of our efforts.

We have had a lot of positive news over the past several days and we have not capitalized on that news. Next week we should send out two or three press releases. We have to keep pumping news out every single week like clockwork. Every time we are added to a new exchange, or a new partnership is established, we need to issue a press release.

Some people have this misconception I am against the multi-pool. I would like to publicly state I am not against the multi-pool. However, I believe too much focus and dependency is being put on the multi-pool. The multi-pool does not buy BC at the current sell price, they wait for dips. So this idea of the multi-pool buying up all the BC is just a myth. Also, please stop assuming that everyone who mines on the multi-pool is not dumping coins back into the system. I cannot express enough that crypto-currency is big business. Just because we do not have conclusive proof that there is a coordinated attack against BlackCoin doesn't mean it is not happening.

So can we finally open up discussion to other creative ideas and solutions. The multi-pool and press releases are just a couple of tools in our arsenal. We have a very talented community and I am sure we can come up with more solutions if we brainstorm together!

We as a community have to stop fighting with each other and start working together. Everything we have accomplished has been because of the work we have done together.

This community is great but it needs expand to rise.
Some event new features need to bring us new people on board.
We cannot go higher with only 1000 people on board.
We need more people like you like pool developers like marks who are able to create something.

I agree with this part 100%. This forum is a great tool to attract new talented people. However, what rational thinking person in their right mind would want to join us if we are attacking each other and acting juvenile? I understand there will always be trolls but the key members including myself have to change how we conduct ourselves moving forward. I would really like to hear some ideas on short term and long term solutions.

I will share on prive i don't want open public some ideas
to get others advantage of stealing idea.

That is the opposite of what we need to do. For weeks everything has been done behind closed doors. We need to discuss ideas openly so others can see us all work as a team and want to join in. We have to start being more transparent.

Many future projects have to be done in a way of attracting NEW people, meaning; no talking about POW, POS, pools. gravity etc and no talking about BTC either (I know...).
All of us here know what BTC is but NOT out there....
We need new blood.
I got few people joined in on BC and they invested but you know what; it was pain in the a..s for me to show, explain how, and then DO IT for them. We have no structure ready; moolah, vault etc is not enough. It has to be more simpler than that. Coinbase is an example.

There´s no magic solution you'll need new investors, The Multipool can not sustain the price alone .

But how to get new Investor ?

1 - With the rise price and increase profitability . ( this is not our reality now )
2 - Massive and viral marketing to show BC to the world .
3 - Multipool needs to be 100 % , Statistics , etc ...
4 - More exchanges FIAT / BC .
5 - Acceptance of most merchants.
6 - Software applications to facilitate new investors.

Take the example of the PODCAST , had just over 300 people watching . This is a really small people. How many people know Blackcoin 100K - 200K ? This is nothing compared to billion inhabitants of this planet .

Events like Wallstreet , are essentially what we need to , you have to create buzz , you have to be different, to attract media for blackcoin for to show us to the world , I can say with almost 100 % certainty that less than 100K people know about blackcoin .

Blackcoin is still very new , but has already demonstrated its potential , I have no doubt that we will at least for the TOP2.

The right way to go now is the marketing, disclosure Blackcoin .... more tools support (Multipool, Blackcoincard, More exchanges FIAT / BC, etc) The marketing will attract new investors, new investors will facilitate the creation of new services for Blackcoin, everybody happy, and so will create a solid ecosystem.

Please if you have not donated, make a donation for that we can show Blackcoin to Wall Street and the rest of World.
