Here comes the "I'll give you some coins, that may be worth 10x more, if you give me free services," gang

Competence gets compensated.
A simple rule of business.

And it looks bad when a client, comes to you asking for a respectable service, in exchange for a 'possibility'

Today, for the first time, i had a guy ask me to exchange services of mine, for 250-million coins of his new ERC token.

Anybody else had something like this happen?

In Visual Sign-language... this conversation is essentially suggesting paying me like this:


and then this, to the media companies that publish my content



I mean sheesh. Not even a drop in the bucket.

LOL And I thought my creative writing skills were a great fantasy voyage....... Pretty sure anybody actually selling this method of busines could write a series to rival LOTR

Damn, that's all I have to say.

Btw no, and I will never accept something like that.

Counter-offer, accept the coins plus double the original service cost for time spent counseling him on his stupidity and misjudgment of your common sense.

Sorry, but isn't the way the investment/VC scenario works? There they ask the real money for the potential and here it is service. It's just the proposal, and totally on the other party to take it or leave it. Pretty sure, not the first time in the business world.

But will I do it something like this? Nope.

I liked your sign language sarcasm too.

What did your parents teach you about doing what the rest of your friends do, when they do something stupid?

I just edited,

All I am saying, it's just an offer.

Reaching out via skype? Like it's serious.

Nah. You shouldn't.

Why would anyone accept a coin that has no future

Plot twist

He created the coin just to have your service for free

In 2016/17, I ran one of the largest ICO listing and marketing platforns that were around.. like ICOBench or ICODrops but not as big.

We had a two tier system. We would assess the project that was applying for premium listing or services. If they fell into the better category, we would actively ask them to pay us in their token. If they fell into the second category, we would only accept BTC or ETH (at that time there wasn't even BNB in existence to accept).

We did this even knowing that sometimes we would inevitably make losses on some. The reason we did that is because on many that we assessed as having high potential, we made a killing.

If you group all tokens in one category OP, that's your mistake I'm guessing. You also have to remember that there's a 95% likelihood that your services are a dime a dozen, and the project can probably afford to ask 20 different similar providers if they'll take their token, unless what you do is totally unique.. and then in that case, you're the one in the position of power.

When we ran that listing site, we gave projects great exposure so we could choose whether we would go for native tokens or established cryptos for payment. But also if they only wanted to pay their token, they had 50 other listing sites they could go to as well instead of us. That's the nature of economics.

Grouping all tokens?

No. No. No.

1st Off ) NEVER come to a quality company with no money in hand

2nd Off) Somebody just randomly messaged me talking about a gift of 250-million tokens and me doing all of their press free of charge in exchange. Ever heard the saying, if she did it fast for you, she did it faster for others?

I'll bypass.

3) My services are far from a dime a dozen b/c I've been doing Google News sites almost since Google News sites came out. I can tell people things about Google News, you can only gain from TESTING, Experimenting, and watching effects over years. NOBODY has matched my results, and this is client tested and proven with lab studies up on-line.

4) A startup coin, I can do myself, promote myself... and get the same if not similar results and own a bigger share of the brand than just a payment for my service . OR I could do what I last did, launch a product and brand, trademark it, earn $XX,XXX -$XXX,XXX , then flip it off to another company after I set up the order fulfillment. I MAKE BRANDS ON GOOGLE ... Done it several times.

5) I'm already involved with a Crypto brand that will pay me quite well.

I guess you're just tossing out a objective opinion but honestly....... I'm not perfect but judging by first impression, pretty sure that 250-million tokens with be the value of a Wendy's combo or two and gas money to get there from across town

literally loads of press release services all the same sites are used

It's not a personal attack on you with what I said mate, I admitted as well that with the ICO listing site I ran new cryptos had many other options other than mine - we weren't unique either.

This happened loads before the dot com bubble burst. There was employees of company’s earnings a crappy wage but was paper millionaires. The next day they was unemployed and had lots of worthless paper.
