Mitchr4, come join the slack channel if your not already on it? You'll like it some really great ppl! I remember you from the Aerome days, too bad that kid bit off more than he could chew he had a great idea and was working hard for as long as he could.
Hey DL,
Good to see AeroME stop you for trading alts, I took a pretty massive hit on it, almost killed my spirit. The more I revisit that project the more I think Majika was a scammer, after the swap when we gave him coins he hyped like news was coming then left. I was pretty oblivious, but that dude was always talking like he had something then never showed shit.
As for slack. I just dont have the time at the moment, I got a job that puts me around 70 hour work weeks. I don't have a ton of time to dive into the chats. I like btc talk, because it's a lot less to read. I was hoping some of the team/community would update it more, and hit the good points people make about the use cases for Strat.
A lot of "slack centric" coins have struggled, because its an extra step to add for lurkers buying on hype. There are so many coins, if almost all of the talk is in Slack... It's hard to get new investor attention, pumps are always happening with multiple coins.
When the hype is on BTCtalk anyone can quickly see the posts and read about the excitement. With Slack theres that extra step, and I know its a small one, but I feel it deters people from joining/investing. Like ill look through coins on the weekend, I don't want to join 50 new slacks for every coin i'm looking to buy on polo...
Heres how I react when I trade...
I see a coin is up 10-20% with decent volume, and a nice chart on an exchange. There are at least 5- 10 coins like that a month. I want to read up on why the coin is up 20%, what's on the horizion, what's the use case... sometimes boom, I pull the trigger right there, or I may follow it for a week, or I may say nah, not worth my time.
Before I got a legitimate job in VFX... I used to be a beer vendor for the round rock express baseball team in texas. I know its nothing special, but I learned a lot about human instinct doing it. The you learn is that people are always on the fence with spending their extra money, so if they show the slightest sign that they are going to make a purchase.. you move quickly in their direction, and open with an offer/joke. I'd usually say something cheesey (before they even speak, smile on my face) like, So Miller or Coors which one do you want? and I would show them the beer. set my ice cold bucket of beer right down in front of them, so theyre forced to see how good it looks right there in the midst of making a decision ...Always cut out as much thinking time as possible when it comes to impulse buying. I'd open the conversation with an offer immediate offer, something cheesey
I'm no Warren Buffet. I'm not going to calculate every trade down to the perfect penny... and I feel like I represent a great chunk of Altcoin traders... We're largely impulsive highrisk traders. We want to make a choice fast.
Slack is great for the community, but its not good for instant investors, which i feel like is at least 50% of the investors in crypto....
I don't know, just my opinion, I've just always been a fan of hyping on BTCtalk rather than slack.
Slack hype rallies the community
BTCtalk hype hooks spontaneous/instant investors.
It would be great if you could post this in the slack. I'm kind of hoping to bring some strat talk back here for the above reasons. gotta work all the angles.
good talking to you DL.
