<r​evaan:matrix.org> Hi all,

<r​evaan:matrix.org> I heard there are plans for a redesign of the website.

<r​evaan:matrix.org> If so, are there any ways to contribute to this?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> damn everyone want to work on the new website

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Haha only if possible

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> There are none at the moment, we are waiting on the designer to finish, but he have a busy schedule.

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Ah ok I see

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> yeah we would all like to work on it ngl

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Yes, Monero itself is great, but I think the marketing and the way it presents itself could be better

<r​evaan:matrix.org> As it is now I think it could be more welcoming to less technical people

<r​evaan:matrix.org> I feel like it may be a bit overwhelming to new people

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> .So much privacy mumbo jumbo, not enlightenment "download wallet, click button. Magical monero"

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Magical money*

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Monero for dummies book required

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Yeah a little bit. I do think the technical depth is also important to mention, but it should be welcoming at first and encouraging people to play around with the technology.

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Yeah maybe haha

<r​evaan:matrix.org> So indeed exactly like you said

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Who cares about the tech! :D

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its the best crypto cuz tech is 🧠

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Big 🧠 tech

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> need an ad like this

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Haha I know right!

<r​evaan:matrix.org> No but the tech is also very interesting, but in terms of widespread adoption I think it will be great if we took another angle to market it as well

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Maybe how bitcoin did it in the early days

<r​evaan:matrix.org> I feel like most people don't care about privacy

<r​evaan:matrix.org> However almost everybody cares about freedom

<r​evaan:matrix.org> So maybe that's a better angle to market it

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Bitcoin was just the shiny new toy and nobody cared until drugs

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Now dnm is like, 90% feds.

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Hahah nice ad exactly like I'd picture a american ad to be coming from europe.

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Yeah idk is it like that ?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> At that time people also bought normal things with it right ?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Thats what it was. Once drugs it became popular. Then it was internet money for nerds and drugs

<r​evaan:matrix.org> > <@ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Bitcoin was just the shiny new toy and nobody cared until drugs

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Yeah idk was it all like that ?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> I see its unfortunate but its often said that criminals are the first using solid/hard money

<r​evaan:matrix.org> So I guess that's a positive

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It's honestly not even that. Idk where these non grass touchers get their info

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its supple and demand.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ask youself this: why do you want monero?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> For me

<r​evaan:matrix.org> To avoid cbdc

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> what do you want to spend it on?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Everything if possible

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Housing food

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Is there any market that you want in on, but said market only accept monero?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> You name it

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Xmrbazaar ?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Haha I'm not sure

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> When i say market, i mean specific goods or services

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> a few examples:

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> - cloud services, like vps

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> - drugs

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> - 18+

<r​evaan:matrix.org> I see yeah personally I'd be interested in cloud services and vps

<r​evaan:matrix.org> Others not so much

<r​evaan:matrix.org> But yeah that's me personally

<r​evaan:matrix.org> But was is it you wanting to tell me ?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> think about something like onlyfans

<r​evaan:matrix.org> But was is it you want to tell me ?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Do you think the subscribers like having their credit attached to their onlyfans tips

<r​evaan:matrix.org> You're saying we need these markets ?

<r​evaan:matrix.org> No ofc not

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If onlyfans accepted monero, usage would skyrocket

<r​evaan:matrix.org> You're right

<r​evaan:matrix.org> It would but I don't think they'll do it

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I'm saying usage of monero / crypto is directly tied to a need for something to spend it on.
