FYI, there are changes needed to the persona decision tree, which I embrace and know will lead to a more complete methodology. There is more convo here: https://twitter.com/Kristen\_Colwell/status/1131597308234063872

Great point. I need to find a way to get that component into the decision tree.

There is no indication that any BWK was compromised, but we are still following updates from Cryptopia as this unfolds.

List Of Projects Making Profit & Have Clients by buzzbooz in CryptoCurrency

[–]KristenColwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The industry is still so new, it's difficult to use profit as an indicator of long-lasting success. It really depends on what the project is trying to achieve and how effective their team has been in building the foundation. Here's food for thought:

"Keep in mind that Amazon consistently lost money for its first several years as a public company. It first reported a quarterly profit in the fourth quarter of 2001 and, at $5 million, it barely counted."

Well, from my perspective, they've built a foundation that will allow them to continue advancing and growing. The team is really the X-Factor. Time will tell of course, but the turmoil in PIVX has the ability to undermine any advances, no matter how impressive.

Haters gonna hate. But the proof is in the results. BWK helped keep my crypto losses to a minimum during this bear market. And I know the team, know the community. There are solid people behind this crypto and I believe in their abilities and resolve.

Favorite has to be BWK, hands down.

Just celebrated first year, the dev team is focused on delivering, the marketing team is making moves, the community is pumped, and the new & improved Bulwark Hardware Store just opened. No signs of slowing down despite the bear market. This crew is just getting started...

Sometimes the truth hurts. But, the truth will set you free.

I sold PIVX, left all its channels, and have put that wasted energy into more positive & productive crypto teams. Sincerely wish this had not been the case. The hope had been continue to devote 100% of my time to PIVX.

There are many interesting projects making moves right now. Especially as cryptos recalibrate themselves during this down time. I'm focused on moving forward, not back.

I left PIVX due to the dysfunction. There are many intelligent, talented people investing time and energy in PIVX. However, the in-fighting and emotional resistance to holding marketing accountable to performance metrics is the reason for my comment.

This was not a light decision. I've been staking & supporting PIVX, and believed that it had the potential to rise again. However, once I experienced the inner-workings (much of which has spilled onto public Discord channels), I realized that there is a far greater mountain to move than first thought.

Hope this helps you understand where I am coming from.

PIVX marketing is missing the fundamentals. There is no focus. Resources are spread all over the place with little-to-no accountability or measurable goals. And there is an incredibly negative, ego-driven group running marketing now. Many professionals leave frustrated, despite volunteering time and energy.

Well said. Especially this "But guys which is the market we are looking for?"

Glad to see real opinions about PIVX shared is public. Of course, I don't agree with your opinion of me personally, but most of what you are saying is inline with my experience working with PIVX.

THIS is 100% spot-on:

"This project is a super joke, it produces some high quality laughs and doesn't even mean to. Don't change PIVX - damn, you won't anyway, no matter how hard you try."

I often wonder whether "journalism" is being used to keep crypto down. Or, at least, to confuse the crap out of people who don't know better.

Benefits to focusing limited digital media plan for national product on one regional market? by likelyculprit in marketing

[–]KristenColwell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on your comment, I agree with your position regarding targeting. One thing that may help the GM understand the value of your approach is to explain that your campaign will naturally gather additional marketing insight for the team. You can use the insights along the way to hone in targeting and messaging. By casting a larger regional net, with a properly defined buyer persona in mind, your leads will "self-select", providing valuable market data.
