Wanted to publicly thank
@tldr @passafiume.eth @maxp.eth for 13 months of fun, a nice little financial reward for following something I love, and for showing us how to build in this crazy new world.
And, some out-of-the-box thoughts on BRACKY 2.0...
The product is gold. The market is unstoppable. But this isn't Field of Dreams, it's time to go get the next generation of users.
1. College students who are rabid sports fans.
Call me crazy, but I think a few hundred college students buying $100 worth of $BRACKY and a subset making a few hundred dollars--and a smaller subset making a coupe thousand would be a huge start to a growing virality as a fun side gig to fellow students and sports fans and spread to family and friends and alumini. It's starts with a few hundred and builds to thousands (I know it sounds good, but it will take real work)
How?
Well, we need a couple videos to send people to...a good 30-1 min that captures the magic and persuades--a College Gameday style snippet
And then we need a longer video with some of us telling our stories about BRACKY--how we got started, what we made, how much time, how much fun, how social--- thinking about
@deriniti @arob1000 @degen-chad me and others.
So, we have the website, these two videos, and socials...what about the hundreds...?
We go get them. tldr gives a presentation on Blockchain and Sports at UNC and Louisville and who knows where else. I think you take some VC money if you have it and hire someone to draw up the plan, facilitate, direct, gather help, and do some of the work (alongside Tim). If the whole team doesn't go forward maybe you pick up some money for this spot.
Figure out the digital and the in person. In person, creatively get on site for football games and bball games outside the stadium. Set up a booth, do some fun promotion. Introduce students (and others) to $BRACKY. Onboard at tailgates with the right pitch.
Digitally, find the places these students hang out and creatively get involved, be valuable, and when appropriate pitch them BRACKY.
Maybe a program where a limited number of students can become ambassadors on campus. They prove their staying power and they can start onboarding for $20 worth of BRACKY credit. Maybe a program that's broader and anyone who proves their worth can onboard 5 people who stay for a while and get $100 worth of BRACKY. Maybe this turns into a pilot program of bringing a UNC market with some baseball, basketball, football, gymnastics...you can see this in the SEC, right?
Working out the plan would take some time, there are more ideas. But hopefully this gives a feel. I'll stop there for now.
2. Fanduel and Fantasy Sports audience.
This is harder. So I think college students is easier to find and create ideas. But same thing applies here. Go to the places they are--digitally and in real life. Booth at a fantasy sports conference? Sure, maybe. Sports Betting convention? Sure.
Again, a lot more work would need to be done for the plan. But hopefully this is enough of taste to consider it. I feel like the $BRACKY ship has already sailed, but I took your request for ideas seriously and wanted to share them.
We need to go get people. This is true across blockchain projects, but in the case of BRACKY as opposed to most others, you actually have the product and the market. No questions asked. Can you get the people.
Ray Consella won't help us here. We need some energy going out to the audience(s) and bring them to Iowa.
Cheers to the team whatever you decide.
If anyone else made it this far, cheers π»
BRACKY is dead. Long live BRACKY!
