After reading some of your medium articles, I have concluded that your project aim is to combine forums and online marketplaces in one place. Right? And I see that Steven Rockefeller Jr. also joined as one of the core members. Is this project already running? or still under development? And what currency you guys will use? is fiat or crypto?
the dev or rep from the project should be active here also in the forum. try answering some queries from the users so in return you can get their interest in further checking out your platform. communication is one of the keys in attracting potential clients
because if the response is slow, it may reflect also how your customer support will respond to your clients in the future.
