RE: The Grass Is Always Greener

There are some thoughts about all of this... which I should probably turn into a post.

Reality: Nobody's going to do anything for us here, to develop this community. WE are the they who will build this.

Potential idea: Let's forget "investors" for a moment; let's forget selling this as "crypto," and let's instead try to reach the 30+ million users who pretty much were abandoned when Facebook started conquering the world.

The potential target audience here isn't a blockchainiac, it's a Medium user who struggles to be seen because they aren't part of the right clique; it's the 1000's of people who sit in Xanga and LiveJournal "memorial legacy" groups on Facebook, crying about how sad it is that social blogging disappeared; it's artists and creatives who are looking for something less rigid than Patreon... and so forth, and so on.

I have said a dozen times — and I will keep saying it — without dedicated end users it doesn't matter how brilliant your damn app is! You build the world's greatest shopping mall, with the finest shops... but it doesn't amount to a hill of beans unless you're attracting actual customers, because all those fancy "stores" will just go bankrupt, and then you're screwed.

The community we have built here is brilliant... and way beyond the responses you have collected, this place is filled with people who are "creators first" and into cryptos second.
