Real value for CKB will come from utility, not trading or speculation.
InkHaven is a publishing platform first, built to solve creator problems like platform control, bad revenue splits, and no real permanence. We chose CKB for payments, identity, and proofs because it works well for those (low costs, JoyID ease etc).
Writers should come for the product itself, bring readers, and create on-chain activity naturally. We’ll seed with the community for early content and feedback, but real growth has to come from outside.
We hope, and will drive efforts in that direction. Thanks for the straight talk. It keeps things grounded.
I’d like to add that while a small community can’t provide all the early users a new project needs to bootstrap, it can still help the project brainstorm potential niche markets and reach its target audiences there. They can look outward and cross the chasm together.
Now, let’s say we want to bring more minds to this conversation, community-wise. Which communities, forums, groups, or platforms should we be looking at, and who within those spaces should we be reaching out to or engaging with?
Hi @InkHaven Thanks for the reply and for understanding that I’m not coming at your project in a negative way, I’m actually really looking forward to seeing what you’ve built, I just don’t want to see you fall into the same trap as lots of others.
Hi Jan, yeah, I 100% agree, there’s lots of things this community can help with and make a huge difference.
But just one other thing I really should have brought up when it sounded like I’m fully blaming the community, is that the failure for us as a whole to really get on board and involved with projects isn’t all our fault.
Most projects that have launched and then disappeared, never came into the community groups directly and tried to round us up to get involved.
Kids with lemonade stands show more direct marketing skills than most of our app teams ever have and then they wonder why their actual ready made audience isn’t even taking part.
So things can defiantly be improved on both sides.
