Honestly, I disagree with people who say going on Facebook is a complete waste of time. I simply love browsing through newsfeed for friends updates and their sharing of interesting contents. Here’s what I found yesterday:
As the Ad was playing, I couldn’t help but gasped on the number of views on the video considering how new it is. Over 4 million views within in just few days? That is insane! There are entrepreneurs everywhere in the market, but this Coin has made its name big by being featured on Wall Street Journal, Forbes, ABC news, NBC… nearly EVERYWHERE that would spoil news.
What it is is just a normal physical card that enables bluetooth that will connect all your credit cards together so you can simply carry one card out and swipe any card any time. The concept is intriguing and is proven technologically feasible, no doubt there is so much hype in the public. Oh wait, there is the preorder! Coin hopes to raise $50,000 funds through crowd funding on its own website.What can be more exciting than watching the the days tick and you are able to get the deal before its off the table? Leveraging on all media, whether its online/offline, Coin was able to create the buzz and get people talking about its potential offering.
Despite all the hype, there are many skepticism among people. The feedbacks ranged from positive to negatives
and here is a more neutral one that brings up some criticism
I will skip the negative comments due to the improper language. But here is the thing, I do not see any responses to all the hate-messages! The skepticism isn’t going to resolve itself and Coin is not responding to clarify the grey area. Poor monitoring I would say. Going viral is great, but watch out what you are being discussed , praises can bring the shine on you, but bad can go even worse. Will Coin be the next big thing and eventually make it to the market with its sufficient crowd funding? Let’s hope it would first respond better online as it positions itself as a forefront technology trend setter.
