Without sounding downhearted - we need to attract buyers and new investors. Miners will always dump so to lift the price higher we need more buyers & traders. To do this the obvious thing is to make UTC aware to these buyers. To do this where do you go? . . . the place they buy altcoins!!!
So if ANY of you have a spare 5 minutes just hop along to the cryptsy chat box and educate buyers on UTC. I'm baffled no other altcoin community members do it. Each day there are new members joining and wanting to know "the next big coin" There's 100's to pick from, so by making them aware of UTC at least they will know more about our coin & maybe look out for its price on a daily basis. Without any advertising budget this is one of the only ways we can gain ground on the top 20 coins.
If we do have a small advertising budget can I suggest we advertise on coinmarketcap.com - they have 3 million hits a month and all those hits are our target audience.
Will there be weekly updates on what we have achieved or tried to do in the last 7 days? - give me something to tell people and tweet about!?
Also can the owners of the pools perhaps on the main page have a polite notice stating our target price is 0.003 so ask not so sell UTC so cheap?
I think this has happened so much that its turning people away. I was on cryptsy one day and some started promoting UTC only to be immediately met with "SHUT UP ABOUT UTC ALREADY!"
People have been tweeting about it for months as well, need I remind everyone of the definition of insanity?
What has worked? Wallet updates, new features, and pumps, but I've never seen anything but annoyance when people spam about UTC. I'm thinking its starting to give it a bad reputation.
Just my 2 cents.
can I ask for your ideas and what your doing other than reading this forum daily 'hoping' the price goes up without actually doing anything. Be more proactive. Without a budget how else do you expect to attract buyers without telling them whats on offer!! - your just trying to shoot down someone willing to help! I'm donating 3 hours a day helping UTC. I can see why DCGirl left now - you help and all you get back is criticism. Maybe I should move to another community willing to take someone who donates so much time. And in the process take my 2000 twitter followers and sell my 220k UTC
Easy there tiger.
I work between 75-85 hours a week and have a family. I don't have a twitter account and don't have time to use any of the other social media stuff for my own personal uses. I have invested quite a bit into this as well, I have a bag of similar size that I bought. THAT was my contribution. Thanks for what you're doing, but don't expect everyone to have so much spare time to as you do.
Before you think I'm just trying to criticize, I'm recommending that we re-evaluate our methods. I haven't seen any movement whatsoever from spamming UTC via trollboxes or twitter myself, why in the hell would I donate what little time I have with my family to do something that obviously doesn't work? What have I done to help? I've gradually invested more BTC into the exchanges (you see those bumps on the long term graphs?) and GUESS WHAT? Volume went up in addition to my own, the price went up, and everyone got excited. People want to invest in something they see moving up to get short term profits. They're the easiest traders to pull in. You just have to keep the momentum going as some start to cash out. After that initial group cashes out, long term investors can be persuaded to buy in should the price continue to rise.
We need a runaway reaction to start off of a price increase like that if we want this to go anywhere. A piece of good news or an update or something new generally goes a long way.
Anyone here want to surmise a guess as to why BTCe Admin hates DOGE? Could it be for all the spamming? Hmmm...
