Bitcoin was the pioneer. Don't forget that Bitcoin gained notoriety because of Silk Road and the illegal transactions. As illegal as it may have been, it bridged the virtual/physical gap.

I have been on board mining POT since day one. I believe the opportunity in POT is unusual in the crypto world because it has that same chance to target a very defined and accessible market and bridge the virtual/physical gap. 

In order to gain a legitimate status and bridge the gap, we need community, focus, trust and transparency/communication -- which roll together as adoption.

As an investor and interested party --  Here are some key things that would move POT forward


1)  There needs to be a very conscious effort to legitimize the coin and efforts. As a start, the Website needs to have clear pictures and biographies of all major participants and officers - if you really want to be clear and transparent, add a very clear view into their POT holdings. All participants need to be referenced by name and communication channels need to be opened.

Right now the links at the bottom of the potcoin.info take you to error pages for  smokemon514 and   Mr Jones

Transparency/Communication and Trust  --- people will now know who they are investing


2)  We have heard so much about Denver -- where are the press releases ?  One press release would make this coin viable, legitimate and firmly place it out front

Transparency/Communication and Strategy -- send a message that this coin is not dead, its thriving and growing -- "Come join us"


3)  Devs need to fix the bugs and issues.

Focus and Trust -- no communication from developers automatically allwos people to expect the worse -- there is no reason for this to happen


4) Engage the community.  The DOGE community is huge and strong -- it is got there by being very active here, Reddit, Twitter, etc.  This needs to be a priority -- get the word out on a daily basis about why and how POT will become the best thing in the Cannabis world.  And engage the community and let them help spread the word. 

Community and Transparency  -- cures many issues and only serves to grow and build the brand



These are simple things that would kill all the rumors and trash talking and at the same time give immense confidence to this coin and community. The growth of this coin and concept relies on trust, focus and transparency.  Without those things serious investors will eventually walk away.


While there are LOTS of trolls on here, I am not ... I am the owner of a software development/website company, I have been a part of multiple startups and a 20+ year veteran trader of stocks, commodities and currencies, I know a thing or two the software business, trading and launching products. (and willingly can provide all the proof if necessary).  I don't have all the answers or even most, by any stretch of the imagination. BUT I wrote most of this yesterday and even offered to pitch in and help ... and got ...

DRUM ROLL Please ....... zero, nada, zilch, response

Surprisingly enough, I really don't like being pushy ... but when an interested person, that is trying to help, and has skills to help, is ignored completely .... that is both unfortunate and depressing.  It also causes me to question my fervor and championing of POT. The more supporters and people offering ideas and willingness to help, like me, that are either dismissed, ignored or battled against, the more likely they are to walk away. 

I believe in the idea of a Cannabis targeted coin - there are three I am aware --- POT, CCN and DOPE. I own some of each with POT being my biggest stake. The simple truth about startup operations is that one is likely to wildly succeed. One will die on the vine and the third will flounder and eventually die or be consumed by some other entity. The winner will succeed because they became legit by staying focused on community, strategy trust and transparency/communication.
