NEM - The Promise To A Better Future
Here is a quotes from one of my previous posts:
"Unfortunately the altcoin landscape is currently plagued with cheap scams and elaborate pump and dump schemes along with a horde of impulsive people enjoying playing this game. However NEM has nothing to do with this landscape. While we may well go through a cambrian crypto-explosion phase, NEM seems to be already between the fittest and is only getting stronger every passing day." It seems to me that in order to effectively understand where we should position ourselves, we have to first understand the world around us(altcoin landscape). To be honest, I think the quote I have posted above captures both the real crisis which surrounds us and not surprisingly, at the same time, our great opportunity. In fact I think that precisely because of the obvious problems with the altcoin landscape we may have a real advantage on which we could build a solid foundation.
NEM Community SpiritWhat if NEM was different, visibly different? What if in such a chaotic and uncertain place there was someone who would not only behave normally, but rather radically different then those around?
I really think that from the time I have written the quote, a change has already begun to take place. In fact, NEM could be leading as the most important catalyzer for that change.
By creating, nurturing and promoting a
NEM community spirit based on respect, helpfulness and friendliness I think we could transform NEM's community into the most captivating and appealing factor of NEM. In fact, given the context we are in, if we would succeed in adopting such a spirit, it could make NEM unstoppable.
NEM - The community which goes the extra mileIt seems to me that in our position relationship marketing(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_marketing) could be the most effective tool we could use, it could even prove instrumental. What I am suggesting is that if the altcoin landscape needs a change - then we have to step up and be that change. First amongst ourselves and in our community, but to go a step further, in each dealing on btt or elsewhere. We could make NEM known as the great community which goes the extra mile.
Expressing this in practice means for example that I will try to solve problems and contribute with valuable insights and posts on the NEM thread/forum and in the altcoin section. Make myself known as a valuable contributor and helper and offer information which most people would keep secret. Now the tricky part is to offer all this while somehow binding it to NEM without making it sound as spam.
We can only build such a respectful, helpful and friendly community by first being an example in those areas ourselves.
Building a reputation of integrity, respect and trustI rarely find quality posts and insight on the altcoin section. That's not because there are no intelligent people there, but rather because most of them don't care about other people and keep most information for themselves. If I would proceed to act quite different and share quality information while showing people I genuinely care, I think I would see an interesting response to that. Surely enough, not an immediate one, but it could nevertheless have a huge impact on NEM in the long term.
Now imagine if we had 2500 people doing that! Actually we don't even need so many for the effect to be fully visible. If even a minimal of 25 people would behave in such a manner between themselves and on the altcoin section, the effect would be quite intriguing I think. NEM would establish itself for the community which everybody wants to be part of.
The change begins with each of usThere are many other ways in which we could go about and apply something like this to our context. Beside the obvious necessary change of behaviour amongst ourselves, posting quality and helpful posts on the NEM thread and altcoin section and binding it all to NEM, we could even create a ''NEM Help Thread'' in the altcoin section, where the community would answer questions regarding any other topics and stuff people are interested in knowing. While these are some simple examples I think you understand how powerful is the idea behind them.
What I am actually suggesting is not marketing but rather something more honorable and harder to achieve. The goal is to change ourselves and adhere to the community spirit, and if we can do that I have no doubt that NEM will become the greatest community in the crypto space in the process.
Taking NEM from where it is now and extending it beyond the boundaries of crypto. This could be our best shot.
Are you in for the real challenge?
P.S. I think I have a couple ideas how we could go about and start a relationship marketing campaign which would further consolidate the image of NEM, add real value and raise awareness about NEM in preparation for the launch.
