RE: Few clarifications from Stan
I am too disappointed with billion hero campaign. When you're launching big campaign, you got to have things ready in advance to show to people from day one rather than making a promises to come with in the future.
Do the following really align with billion hero campaign?
Website is not yet ready. How come is this possible when you're calculating to take BitShares market cap to 1000 times which can make bitshares marketcap 1 trillion in value and over taking companies like Google and Microsoft.
You guys are advertising to local community instead of main stream media because platform is not yet ready. So why not yet ready on 4th July when you were advertising heavily for billion dollar campaign. Your technologies must be backed by advertising. If not ready when it is will be ready for advertising then?
Bitshares is still hanging between 0.11 to 0.13 since few months. Unlike other crypto currency, bitshares still doesn't have hypes for it so no whales yet which can really get lots of attentions of other small investor. Why? There is no hype around bitshares, only talking about technologies. Technologies are great but to get going, one has to have awareness and hype and big whales initially.
Discord channel discordapp.com/invite/JYAtgec doesn't get much updates regularly.
No updates on Fast Bitcoin?
At last, I am firm believer of bitshares and I feel it will explode some day. It may have a lot going in the background in marketing but it is not visible so adding my thoughts to legend @stan sir.

Well I think you got it a little bit wrong.
If you take a look at other coins you'll see that a whole lot of them started with heavy hyping by just stating their goals, not even having the whitepaper yet. So yeah, that is a common thing, to promote your project before anything is done. The thing with the billion challenge, however, is that it aims at the people outside the crypto community who are not familiar with all the stuff we have witnessed here. With these people you actually have to get everything to work perfectly in advance. So what happens right now is @stan promotes the challenge for the local community in order to state his goals and show that bitshares is not abandoned and is having stuff going on. We get updates on the preparation process and they (regular people) will discover it when everything's ready. I am pretty sure you wouldn't prefer for @stan to go completely silent for a few months while they are working on it in order to announce their plans when all is set. That would be completely disastrous for bts, because people would think that there is no development and the project is dead.
Yes, I understand. Thanks for your reply. My concern is that bitshare is so good blockchain platform even compared to ethereum so lack of exposure may be hurting it. I believe now billion dollar campaign will raise awareness of bitshare(the next bitcoin) in coming days! Finger crossed!!
Personally, while I'm very much in favor of marketing, I believe doing so aggressively prior to completion of the work currently being done on bitshares-ui by @billbutler and others would have backfired spectacularly.
