Not boasting, I love the perfect timing of this post. 5 weeks ago I wrote:
I realized two things back then:
-
Nash has pivoted over time, and so too have my own aspirations alongside it. When I first discovered NEX, I thought: “cool, a more secure exchange with a potentially lucrative dividend model”, and so monetary gain was my primary motivator; whereas now, I’m hoping that I can gradually phase out things like PayPal and traditional bank accounts entirely, and also use Nash for many other things I’ve yet to consider in the future.
So while long-term vision factored in secondarily (as I’m sure it probably did for much of the long-standing community members), over time it grew, and now I consider this vision to be more important to me than my NEX investment itself (which also grew, just not nearly as fast). My answers in the recent poll reflects that sentiment.
-
Some people may firstly join the community because they share Nash’s vision, and want to keep up to date or help to build, but if that’s the case, then they can clearly see the value in what is being built… Isn’t that a surefire sign as any that something may be worth investing in? A good number of those individuals would probably also end up acquiring NEX tokens.
As such, I think the community spreading awareness of the NEX token to the right crowd is a great way to help grow the community.
Occasionally I see twitter trolls saying crap like “lol nash bagholder shilling”, and I almost feel bad for them because they couldn’t be more wrong. Bagholders typically don’t accumulate even more, and then stake it for X months on top, preventing themselves from dumping it.
I agree, and feel that those in the community who share Nash’s vision should consider tactfully reaching out to individuals with a nudge and a whisper approach. Observe and learn what a person values/desires (Tech? Money? Knowledge?), and then offer it to them. Such effort will go much further at this point in time.
This is something that only those who have already discovered their own purpose(s) would be able to comprehend. Finding and fulfilling those purposes is the very meaning of life that seems to elude so many, and while some purposes are fleeting and quickly reach fruition, others transcend one’s lifetime and require another to pick up the torch.
Most of the fudders surely lack purpose, because they lack a desire to understand others and themselves. Instead of searching for their purposes, they fill the void with a desire to hurt and sabotage others, unthinkingly, for “self-gain”, even when it’s not even self-gain, it’s actually just for money; money which can cause more harm than good in the hands of someone who’s ignorant, directionless and confused. Give those types infinite money, and they’ll become progressively miserable.
I hope everyone realizes this when contending with fudders and trolls. I hope moreso that the fudders and trolls realize it themselves, and get their shit together.
