Rob- I think it may take Jennifer and our web person a bit of time to set up the individual links, and I don't want to leave your investors without bios/photos if you were to send funds right away. Right now they are prepping the website for the Poland orphan hosting program launch, as I'm traveling to Poland tomorrow for a week and will be uploading kids' photos for that. Would it throw a wrench in things if we wait to launch this starting in March? I hate to make the kids in Uganda wait for school, but I can pull some basic food funding from our emergency funds to cover them outside school for this month from a recent private donation. The problem is, I haven't had a chance to set up a BLOOM account on any of the exchanges yet to convert the BBP over to USD, and I know it's already the 5th, so it's technically past the enrollment time frame for the kids to start school this month anyway. Also, I should hear back from the grant application I sent in to support the 10 kids in Uganda another 3 months by end of Feb, and I'm hesitant to move forward without an additional 3 months covered as backup just in case something happens and BBP can't cover them. What do you think? March gives us both more time to gear up, and seems the timing works out better for other things as well, if that's ok with you? And I think we still have to wait for a positive vote to go through anyway, right?

    Hi Rob and Alex, thanks for helping hash this out so we could come to an understanding. We have the same goals, just very different ways of achieving them as we all have different expertise and experience in serving the children. There's bound to be growing pains both ways:

    1)
       From an IT perspective, what I would like to do is :  See a bio for these 10 children from an HTTP link, so that I can enter these 10 children in our database if this proposal passes.  All I need is a public HTTP page with 10 links for these 10 children. 
**Give me a couple days to work with the volunteer who does our website and with our Sponsorships Director. I think it's do-able, but I'm not a website guru so I want to make sure we can set those up, even if on hidden pages.
2) I would like an address where we can mail physical letters to - one concentrated address, so that our online letter system may dump this to paper, and Ill ensure the letters are mailed to  Aprils letter address.
**We can take electronic letters (that would be easier) but just not sure how that could work. Can your online system dump to an email address? If so, [email protected] and she will forward those to our orphanage partners. We rarely get mail to them since they're rural and customs is far from them. If you want a physical address though, we can scan and send them to the kids:
Jennifer Borsh
PO Box 319
Villa Rica, GA 30180
Just to make sure on expectations though, how often do you need letters back? Usually we can get them once a month for Uganda, sometimes twice a month for Sierra Leone.

3) I would like bio links for the 3 children in Sierra Leone we are feeding, but in this case, I will modify our system so investors can see the category desgination  (something like MEALS_PROGRAM) or something -   In summary for #3, just the ability to click Bios of these 3 kids also.
**OK, awesome, let me work on that.

4) April will handle the liquidation of the BBP from her organization, and spend it for us, Rob will not need to convert BBP -> BTC for BLOOM :).
**Sounds like I'll need to create BLOOM a c-cex account and then a coinbase account to then convert to $$? Give me a few days to look into that as well, or let me know if you know of an easier way?

Thanks again for bending a bit to help make this happen! I really do appreciate the consideration. :)

**Adding another few thoughts that I just had after posting this initially:

1. What happens if BBP tanks (knock on wood) and we end up with a huge gap in the cost for sponsorship in the middle of when the proposal was requested or funded, or before I could transfer the funds out of BBP and into USD$? Maybe you guys have addressed this before, but if so, would you please briefly re-explain what we would do in that case? Would the proposal amount be reconsidered?

2. Alex, I just saw what you meant by "numbers". Thank you for asking. We have one very part time employee - her salary is more of a "thank you" and she puts in so many hours she maybe makes $5-7/hr when all is said and done? That is Jennifer, our sponsorships director. Then there is myself who is paid part time salary but I actually work full time on BLOOM. After the hours spent once our hosting programs are taken into consideration, I make between $5-10/hr any given month. I'm basically a glorified program manager for that program, but it's my heart. I also do all our marketing and PR. I occasionally pay a contract grant writer hourly to help us obtain grants to cover our bigger projects such as sustainable farming, and the teacher training program (not yet public), and also sponsorships and hosting. Our accounting is usually done by me and the board treasurer, but I am actually hoping to contract a bookkeeper asap as the hosting programs get complicated financially. I'm going to ask one of our major donors if they'll consider covering this cost for us. That may be more info than you needed, but I do like to point that out because we both really care about the organization and the kids served, and are willing to volunteer hours above and beyond what we're paid according to market value.

We do have between 5-8 volunteers any given month as well that help us run the programs (excluding the board). Our board volunteers regularly though, and we have one regular volunteer who helps Jennifer with Sponsorships and the farming project. We have one volunteer who helps me with the website and sometimes hosting program admin. We don't currently have an actual IT volunteer (so if someone wants to apply..... ;) ) Then there are between 5-8 "hosting" volunteers each orphan hosting program which happens twice per year. They recruit host families from their churches and mentor the host families who bring orphans over to live with their family for 4-8 weeks during summer or Christmas. They probably volunteer 5-15 hours per WEEK on this program! I thank God for them every day because without them, we couldn't run this program. Hosting is our "reverse mission trip" and our biggest/most admin-intense program. http://www.bloomworldwide.org/hosting/



As for other numbers, here's a brief summary of our impact from 2017:
--We served orphans 53,655 meals among all the sponsorships programs
--76 sets of school supplies were provided to kids in Uganda and Sierra Leone
--76 children received schooling in Uganda and Sierra Leone
--89 children's lives were changed through the orphan hosting program[/li][/list]

Praise Jesus for all His provisions and blessings in 2017!


3. Rob, it just occurred to me that we could do a PR plug for you if BBP sponsors such a large chunk of orphans. We always give a shoutout in our newsletter and social media to sponsors who are OK with being recognized. I am happy to give a shout out to BBP as well. But, could I just please talk to you separately about some of the verbiage used on the site first? I really think just some rephrasing of a few things will come across better to several audiences.

Can you explain what type of programming is necessary? Is there an instruction manual? If not, I doubt any organization will be able to integrate.

We do or can, however, have all our kids' bios up on our website which is public. I am happy to provide those links to embed wherever you need so we don't need to create unnecessary work. And if anyone wants to write a letter back to the kids, they can type or write them and we're happy to pass it along. Again, though, it's not clear how we are going to get this information. Should I just copy and paste from this site somewhere?

And just to clarify so I understand, you are requiring a custom programmer for nonprofits with limited budgets in order for them to receive sponsors for the kids? But you were willing to provide the programming for 190 children for Compassion? 
*Can you clarify this please before we agree to move forward?

If this is the case, I would highly suggest a solution to this problem. I really don't foresee non profits going through this type of hassle just to get one child sponsored. Most Non profits don't have the resources to do something like that. If your goal was to just have Compassion and provide all their integration and PR, then that's fine, but if you'd like to give other kids a chance, then it will need to be easier and more fair for  others to participate.
*Can you clarify your goals on this as well?

Lastly, I am quite offended by this assumption:

"Regarding "starting small", I find it a little disturbing that you reference in your proposal that these children will be "starving" because nothing is being done, yet it appears that you would be very willing for us to not come up with the money for the next compassion payment (but instead divert it to BLOOM)."

Where did I suggest I was willing for you to "not come up with the money for the next compassion payment, and instead divert it to BLOOM?"

There was NO place I suggested that AT ALL. I asked if you were caught up, and from what Stephen has told me, there is a LOT of room in the budget for more sponsorships. I also gained that from your last replies that you'd be caught up. If you are accusing me of this, please clarify. Seriously, that's offensive and untrue. I can't help but think you're purposefully trying to find ways not to sponsor BLOOM kids, which is sad. How did we get off on the wrong foot here?

It sounds to me like there is a lot of discrepancy in what is available in the budget. Perhaps if that was more clear, we could make proposals that are more reasonable without offending each other.
*Can you please outline what IS available so we can clear this up?

I think this will be interesting to see how this turns out. Just giving some feedback / talking out loud.

=======

Phase 1 - Step 1

I think this is going to be potentially tough, as I see communications funneling through one person as a potential bottleneck
(I like my freedom and lack of red tape LOL, but Im open to do what is best for the project)

*Fair enough- instead of creating red tape, perhaps we work together on a clear communications plan so we are communicating the right message in general with all posts?


Who would we say represents BiblePay? or speaks for BiblePay?
Definitely Rob for sure, and I guess me too since Im doing the social media?

*For the press, Rob if he's comfortable. Are you going to do Facebook social media too? Or would you like someone else to do that? I could give it a go.

=======

Phase 1 - Step 2

There is a 2nd website in development, but nothing created so far, we have a viewable google doc, let me know if you would like viewing and editing access.

*YES PLEASE! I am still struggling with the utility for people. Is it to spread the gospel to the IT community as wiki says? Is it just to have another method of donating to charities? Is it aiming to provide oversight to charity organization spending? Why would people want to invest in this project? Once that is determined clearly, we can bring in more potential buyers.

=====

Phase 2 Step 1

We definitely could use help on Facebook, I think Matt currently owns the BiblePay facebook page but hes only made maybe 3 posts in the past 3-4 months and has I think 12 followers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BiblePay/comments/7m6v7w/biblepay_facebook/

Im not sure how to talk to / target / advertise to the regular average joe about Cryptocurrencies and BiblePay.

*Must determine utility to determine target audience to grow before tackling this. Determining utility is going to take some conversing with you and Rob honestly. I can read this stuff online all day long, but it all tells me different things. I need a human to explain what the point of developing this was intended to be long-term. What was the growth strategy envisioned? ROB! HELP! lol

*"BiblePay’s goals are to spread Christianity and help those in distress (specifically orphans and widows)." Wont be enough to convince people to invest in this.

*I'm seeing a lot about getting BBP in rewards for doing various things related to spreading the Gospel. I see a lot about how you can know that your money is going toward the child you're sponsoring. But, why sponsor through BBP instead of through the charity directly? Otherwise you're just adding a step. BLOOM can let you write your child directly without BBP, for example. We're happy to show you money was wired to our team in country, and show you photos of your kid eating, getting clothing, schooling, etc. So, why BBP? It may be that I'm dense and have totally missed this! LMK if so.  We need a hook. I'm sure it's there, we just need to dig it out. Maybe we're able to use BBP for churches to accept for tithes? That could add utility. Sorry if I've missed the boat on this somehow!

How exciting to see another fellow smaller non-profit involved with BiblePay! It's so difficult to fundraise when you're a smaller organization, so I hope you will be able to have some orphans sponsored through this project.

A few questions I have are:

1. Is this a specific proposal for the sponsorship of a certain number of kids? If so, can you be specific as to how many kids you are requesting sponsorship for, how much per month, for how long, what the funds provide the children, etc? Amounts in BBP and $USD would be great.
2. Are you a Christian organization? I do not see any mission statement in line with Christianity on your website.
3. This is a question for the creators/voters: Does BBP require organizations to be Christian if they are being sponsored with BBP funds?

Thank you and blessings to your team and children in Cameroon!

« on: January 26, 2018, 04:08:18 PM »
Although in general, I support expanding our ministry to multiple charities, however, I think there are a number of issues we currently have that bleed over into this proposal being paused or approved right off the bat.

1) We have a $10,000 deficit with Compassion and have not even minted our first superblock.
Why dont we wait for that to occur, before adding a new risk.  That occurs at block 24600.

*This should be good to go now, am I correct?

2) We have 189 children with compassion who are not paid a cent in advance (IE if we miss next months payment we lose them all).  Some of us here like 616West have suggested that we pay at least 6 months into the future for these children, as it is really frowned upon to start up new sponsorships with kids from Bloom when we have not even paid a few months in advance with the kids we have committed to.

*We are caught up now, correct? I have proposed 3 month sponsorship increments and adjusted the amounts/number of kids/program according to our biggest needs right now.

3) We dont even have an exchange online right now accepting bitcoins.  I think its a bad idea to set a precendent to ask for half of our charity budget right off the bat, when our price is uncertain.  Lets try to get a pulse on our average price after c-cex comes back online for a couple weeks first.

*C-Cex is back up now. All good?

4) I think it would be a good idea to sponsor One orphan with bloom and see how the relationship works out.

*You sponsored a ton with Compassion initially. Is there something about them (personal relationship, or they have a direct involvement in supporting the advancement of BBP that led to you starting with a large number with them?) We are smaller, more personal, and willing to work with you. Sounds like Compassion got lucky that you are the one doing all their integration work for them.  ;) Other big organizations probably won't take the time to just work with you for one orphan sponsorship either, or any for that matter, as they can make a ton of money and get more sponsors just advertising like they always do, and their sponsors will use their existing interface, and they won't have to do ANY integration. Also, big organizations are less likely to help you with PR. Trust me, I know how non profits work and what they're willing to do to partner with people. I have worked for big and small ones in many capacities. Smaller ones like us and this new Cameroon One are more willing to think and work outside the box.  :)

*Thus, I think committing to more than that with BLOOM for 3 month increments is fair. If you don't want to take the plunge with 13, I understand. Perhaps just 5-10? Honestly, it's not feasible for me to maintain this relationship on my end for just one orphan at a time. I'm willing to work with you guys on integration with my nearly all-volunteer staff. This is a huge time sacrifice for us when we won't get anything in return as an organization. All my staff except 1 already works for free to serve these kids, so if we are to do this, we need it to be for a bigger commitment. Not to trivialize your offer, which we appreciate, but I have to look at our business side too, and our limited resources available. Working with you on one child will take about the same amount of staff time as 10 kids if you're asking us to handle integration, whereas finding an individual sponsor somewhere else for one child will take no extra staff time in terms of maintenance or integration. Not to mention my time and BBP investment to create these proposals. I hope you can appreciate and understand where I'm coming from. Perhaps if we don't have to do integration, we can consider 3 orphans to start?

*Lastly, if there is enough money available to sponsor all the kids I'm proposing, why not sponsor them starting now? Where else will those funds go? Meanwhile, the kids will stay hungry or won't be able to attend school.  :-[


5) Im not sure if Togo asked you about this, but here is one huge question.  We currently have IT integration where we can view an orphans
Bio by clicking a link.  Would we receive IT integration with bloom for the one new orphan?  Could we write letters electronically?  Could the orphans handwritten letter/reply be stored as a PDF so our pool could show the inbound letter to the user?

*Yes, depending on how easy it is. If it's complicated, we may direct the people who want to write letters to our director of sponsorships directly. Again, we're an all-volunteer staff except for myself. But I have very complicated, detail and time intensive orphan hosting programs to run myself and with my volunteers, so we will have to keep the integration time investment small and simple.

6) I think the food program sounds a little pricey, why so much per month for a childs food program?

* Can you please be more specific and see my updates above? I disagree that any of our programs are pricey for what the children receive. Kids are receiving 3 healthy meals per day for 30 days for about $1 per day. Can you eat that well for that cheap (aside from Ramen?  ;D ) Food in Africa is more expensive than here in the US if you buy it retail instead of grow it (hence why we're trying to do our sustainable farming project). Also, our kids in each program are very rural and it takes quite a bit to rent a truck, go into town, and buy the food. It's also not in bulk since we have smaller programs. If you think it's expensive, perhaps you're comparing to mega programs where they bring in food in bulk or have lower quality/smaller quantity of food per day the kids are getting fed.

7) Is there any PR bloom could give us once we instantiate a relationship of more than 5 orphans per month?

*What kind of PR are you looking for exactly? Right now, I think our audiences as we are each currently promoting our company/organization are completely different, so doing any kind of PR for each other would not add value for either of us. We also have not identified the utility of this coin clearly to the public. We must also identify the utility of BBP to my audience. I would want to have more of a handle on our PR strategy for BBP before making this decision to make sure that working together on PR makes sense. I would also need for there to be a minimum of about 10-20 kids consistently sponsored to consider PR. And I would want to see Compassion and other partners equally sharing in the PR responsibility and agreements so it's a fair relationship.

Thanks!  I wonder if starting small will work! 

Please dont take offense to these points, the problem is we are new and our currency is not worth a lot yet, so we have to be very cautious, and make our small amount go a long way.

*No offense at all! Likewise for you to my points. I'm sure we can come to a fair compromise.

God Bless you.

Rob

I see. Thanks for responding. Sounds like this might need to be better defined overall so we can develop clear-cut ways for people to participate and make requests. So for example, one could go speak at a church about BBP or call churches to talk to whomever is in charge of collecting their tithes, etc and perhaps talk to them about partnering with BBP somehow? Perhaps this is something we can all weigh in on? Anyone else have potential ideas? We could make a list and this could encourage people to start getting the word out.

Archived Proposals / New Charity Organization - BLOOM
« on: January 05, 2018, 10:09:28 PM »
BLOOM (Be Love Orphan Outreach Missions) is a 501c3 Christian charity which works to serve orphans and vulnerable children in 3 ways:

1. Sponsorship for food/education/clothing and other emergent needs in Uganda and Sierra Leone (We currently have 29 children in Christ Children's Care Orphanage in Sierra Leone who need sponsors; 10 who are in emergency status in our Side by Side Ministries Program in Uganda)

2. Sustainable farming projects and teacher training programs in these countries in order to help wean orphans off sponsorship and get their orphanages to be self sufficient. The goal is also to  engage the local communities to care for their own by creating jobs, therefore locals can generate income, and as a byproduct, we get extended family reunification and thus less orphans.

3. Orphan hosting programs in Poland and Ukraine where orphans come to live with American families for 4-5 weeks twice a year on an "exchange" where they receive the love of a Christian family while learning English, getting medical checkups, and possibly even finding an adoptive family.

Now that you know a little about BLOOM, let's focus on this proposal, which will be for sponsorship support in Sierra Leone and Uganda.

A. Our Side by Side Ministries Program rescues children from abusive situations in the Rakai, Uganda area where they are at risk of being beaten, raped, and neglected by unofficial "foster" families and other negligent guardians. Our team rescues the child, then transfers them to a Christian boarding school while looking for extended family reunification opportunities or a Christian foster family. The cost to sponsor a child for boarding school is $88 per month and it includes all their private school fees, room and board, uniforms, food, medical care, hair cuts, etc.

I have applied for a separate grant to cover 10 children in emergency status for 3 months, so I would like to request 880,000 BBP ($2640) to cover those 10 children for 3 more months of this year to start, and then that will give us time to grow BBP to cover the next 3 months and so on, at which time I'll submit another proposal (or I will find another sponsor later this year).

B. Our Sierra Leone Sponsorship program provides 3 healthy meals per day for the children, including while they are at school, every day each month for $36/mo. These children attend a school at the orphanage, so there are no extra boarding/schooling costs for them. These are children orphaned from poverty and the remnants of the Ebola outbreak that happened there a few years ago.

I am requesting 108,000 BBP ($324) to feed 3 children 3 meals daily for 3 months. Each month that BBP does well or each time a superblock is reached, I'd like to add 3 more children from this orphanage to this list.

You can read more about our sponsorship programs here
http://www.bloomworldwide.org/orphanchild-sponsorship/

and see photos/bios of the children who need sponsorship here.
http://www.bloomworldwide.org/sponsor-a-child/

I am happy to coordinate with you all and/or my volunteers at BLOOM to get the information needed to integrate these photos/bios to the BBP site.

Also of note is that we can often have children's grades or a letter from them sent to us at BBP as the "sponsors", depending on what's available at that particular school. And I, personally, along with my Director of Sponsorships, make sure all our letters are delivered to the kids electronically when they have internet access available (which is not often because, well, it's rural Africa, but it is possible on occasion!).

In sum, I'm requesting:
880,000 BBP ($2640) to cover 10 children in emergency status for 3 months in Rakai, Uganda (ideally to continue in 3 month increments for same 10 kids)
108,000 BBP ($324) to feed 3 children at the Sierra Leone orphanage for 3 months (ideally to continue in 3 month increments for same 3 kids, and possibly add more kids each time a superblock is reached)
Total Request: 988,000 BBP

Please let me know if you have further questions or need any clarification.

« on: January 05, 2018, 10:04:59 PM »
Hello all- My name is April and I not only run BLOOM, one of the charities BBP will hopefully support, but I am also a PR professional. My most relevant experience has been helping Factom with their PR during their launch phase (Feb 2015-May 2016), resulting in media hits in Reuters and Fortune, among others. (Can't take credit for every hit they got by any means, as they also had an internal PR team, but these are two higher tiered pubs I secured for them).

http://fortune.com/2015/04/22/cloud-computing/

https://in.reuters.com/article/usa-honduras-technology/honduras-to-build-land-title-registry-using-bitcoin-technology-idINKBN0O01V720150515

I'm proposing to organize and formalize our communications strategy. My proposal for spearheading Bible Pay's PR is broken into two phases. Phase 1 is ready for approval now. Phase 2 will need to be built out a bit more after Phase 1 is begun, but I wanted to lay it all out so we can build a discussion on the direction we're going. I'd like everyone's input, as how you see the project will shape my strategy for both internal and external communications. This is a long-term, ongoing proposal.

Phase 1

-Step 1-

I propose to be the head of PR/Marketing/Comms to review the overall messaging for all FB, Twitter, blogs and other public posts to ensure cohesive messaging. I would also like to copy edit any major public appearances in writing, starting with the website.

Without one central "voice" and overall comms guidance, we stand to look disorganized and thus less credible. Our messages to the public must be cohesive before going out to avoid a fiasco like what IOTA went through which tanked a perfectly poised token from 5 to 10 on coin market cap.

I will also work with Togo to prepare the spokesperson (Rob?) for media interviews/provide media materials as needed, be the media contact if needed, but not the spokesperson (I can provide media relations consulting).

This will be an ongoing task that can add up to approx 1-5 hrs/week depending on who else does marketing that I would need to work with/oversee the messaging. I would "bill" for this every 2 weeks per the billing cycle if everyone would be comfortable running their "copy" by me and we could consult about strategy together as needed prior to copy creation.

I will estimate this at just 4 hours over the next 4 weeks as I don't think there's a lot going on with this type of thing at the moment.

-Step 2-

I would like to re-write/edit all web copy as needed to be more professional and appealing to the target audience, as well as more cohesive. Right now there are some grammar, capitalization, punctuation issues, and it is a bit disjointed in the messaging and mission. (No offense to whomever wrote it- just needs a PR touch ;-)
(This would take approximately 3-5 hours)

-Step 3-

I would like to develop a boilerplate, long company description, FAQ, and other media kit necessities.
(Approx 3-4 hours)

Basically, I want to overhaul our whole image right now, from messaging to possibly even the site wireframe, because first and foremost we need to clearly establish UTILITY. The public's perception of the coin's utility is the only way it will really go up or down in value. Right now, our messaging isn't quite clear to me or a few people I've spoken with about this.

Summary:
Total Requested Now to be distributed over the next 2 pay periods:

4 hours of general comms oversight

3-5 hours of web copy re-write

3-4 hours of media kit development

TOTAL: 10-13 hours at $30/hour = $300-390 = approx 100,000-130,000 BBP

P.S. I believe average PR professionals go for about $125/hour :)



Phase 2 - to be built out as phase 1 progresses


-Step 1-

I'd also like to develop a Facebook marketing campaign targeted at the people who would invest in BBP, but I am hesitant until we can get on a easier-to-use exchange. Are we ready for this? Most regular people wouldn't feel comfortable purchasing on the two exchanges we're on now. I was hesitant, and I'm pretty familiar with all this now.

(Approx 2 hours + actual facebook mktg costs)


-Step 2-

Research target publications for PR
(approx 2-3 hours)

-Step 3-

Develop/distribute media pitches and facilitate scheduling interviews
(approx 8-10 hours)

-Step 4-

Develop internal and external communications plan concurrently through steps 1-3 so we aren't running things like a pack of wild cats
(approx 6-8 hours)

-Step 5-

Possible press release- topic TBD
(approx 3-4 hours)

A few topics for discussion:

***WHO IS GOOD AT SEO AND WANTS TO WRITE BLOGS I CAN REVIEW AND GET PART OF THE PR BUDGET???? I don't have time to write blogs, unfortunately, but I can review/edit. I think blogs are an excellent way to catch media attention as well as the attention of potential investors. These should be written more to attract layman investors as opposed to people who understand blockchain/crypto and/or miners.****

****What do we want our message to be? What is our main UTILITY in your eyes, and what is it in the eyes of lay people, not just crypto investors like us? (Ie- Is it facilitating orphan care, is it a christian currency we want churches to eventually use as a tithing alternative, etc? It can't focus on all these things. One or two need to be the focus, while the others are supplemental)****

Thanks and let me know your thoughts on all this.

OK guys I'm a newbie, so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but where can I see this actual proposal? Or is the first post actually the proposal?

PS- jaapgvk I did the PR for Factom (this is April). They are currently #60 on coinmarketcap. I got them into Fortune and Reuters, among other bitcoin pubs :)

PR is essential to the success of a crypto currency. It's value is dependent purely upon the perception the public has of the coin and it's utility. Most of the public has no idea how any of this works, and for a coin like this, it's imperative we find ways to get it in front of mega churches and other large Christian populations in a way lay people can relate to it for it to grow quickly. I'm thinking 95% of the population will never understand how the blockchain and cryptocurrencies work like most people on this forum do. You'll see more about my thoughts on this in my PR proposal (once I figure out how to submit one).
