I probably could have used a better term than 'changing the world'. On reflection it could be read that I was belittling the efforts in SE Asia which was not my intention at all.
I think the reason the twitter and facebook tipbots thing is a good idea is that it is something that everyone can do straight away. It's a simple undertaking and it could bring a lot of people in who are new to crypto.
I appreciate another poster's views that there may not be a lot of pick up from people who are tipped. The whole thing obviously needs a little more thought.
One thing I have to comment on though is all this 'We need to find people who need Karma' stuff. Right now nobody needs Karma. Nobody.
Insisting on finding people who need Karma is a waste of time and energy.
Exactly the point! Anyway we all agree those people are our market, but it will take many steps further ahead.
The people you say "may need" karma, but first you must create the "WANT" factor. We choose to buy or use things daily from among many options, not because we need, most of the time because we want it.
Granted Philippines and Africa may need karma. Why?? Because karma can save them lots of money that's all.
but you have to factor in; accessibility, ease of use, security, knowledge and many other related issues...in order for them to choose karma over their usual utilities.
You say we can build the infrastructure at the same time, when we have identified our market. How long have you been saying that? If you have used the funding you have in LLC before, you don't have to worry on working on everything at the same time, when finally you found the market you speak of. Wouldn't it be ideal that the supporting softwares are already tested before you try to use it in real world market? Well, this is not how you wanted things. So you don't listen. And in fact, you wont understand my point for the same reason.
First create the want so you can serve the need. (You can only take a horse beside the water, the horse should want to drink it)
