Drew: I am looking on
the bitcointalk.org forum for an investor
though, and one
thing you may be able
to help me with (if you are willing) would be how
to more readiliy pitch it
to
them
benkay: ya well
that gets you some amount of politeness.
Drew: I came here at
the advice of
ThickAsThieves,
though I could have been more clear with him about
the background of it
benkay: not much of
that in
this play.
benkay: Drew: we're mostly interested in businesses
that cryptocurrencies enable.
benkay: second market if gambling's your
thing.
Drew: unless
they were looking
to put
their eggs in multiple baskets rather
than one
benkay: zero reason for btc folk
to get involved.
Drew: electric daisy carnival is branching out
their festival, and even
though
they recently formed a "creative partnership" with SFX (the corporate devil in
their eyes)
that is not
taking away from
their brand following
benkay: if your brand = your corporation, i don't see how
that's addressing
the concern.
Drew: i would correct you
though benkay, in
that
the abhorrence is mostly
towards large corporation involvement in live music, not so much
the brands
themselves
benkay: this sounds like "we;re going
to be
the grateful dead but ultra corporate and
the kids will love it"
benkay: yeah
they keep
their brand where nobody can see it.
Drew: while
they own many venues and are able
to
throw larger shows and more frequently
than most people,
they don't directly
throw any festivals or 5000+ person events
that i am aware of
Drew: i would say
that livenation is automatically abhorred by
the vast majority of not only e-tards but lovers of live music in general
Drew: i would say
that
those 2 questions are very much interrelated
benkay: how do you plan
to address
the e-tard's demonstrated abhorrence of large brands?
dub: I lol
that
the US learned about "EDM" 30 years later and is liek 'jump on dis new shit'
benkay: town down
the rhetoric e-boy.
Drew: 8.
the effect created by our structure will be
to, instead of having one event per year for promotion
to be centered around, we have 90-100 events associated with
the brand across
the country
throughout
the entire year
to build promotion around, using each event as a social media hub and continuing
to expand our presence.
This will create
the most unified EMC related brand
that has existed so far, making it
the literal perfect
Drew: 7.
The medium / large scale events will be spaced out around
the year in each different location (Atlanta, Dallas, LA, NYC, Portland, Denver, Chicago, Miami, etc) so
that
the portion of
the fanbase we develop into rabid fans can literally follow our brand around
the country, like some music fans do.
Drew: 6. Our brand will have 8-10 medium/large scale events (~10-15
thousand people, multiple stages, 20+ acts), each with 10 small scale events (500-2500 people, one stage, 2-3 acts) in
the surrounding area. Each medium/large scale event will be annually, with
the 10 surrounding small events spaced out
throughout
the year
to lead up
to each large scale event.
Drew: 5.
The majority of music festivals, including
the ones he has purchased, have one large event per year. If
they are quality events,
they gain a raving loyal following who attends every year and
their audience steadily increases. (Electric Forest, Ultra Music Festival, etc)
Drew: 4. Our strategy is designed
to create a brand which will cater
to what
this man and his company are
trying
to accomplish, which will value our brand at easily a quarter of a billion dollars. We will do
this by having a different approach
than any currently existing brand.
Drew: 3. -If he was able
to unite much of
the industry under one brand, he would effectively control
the marketing ability
to 18-34 year olds with disposable income, an ability worth a
tremendous amount of money
to corporations
that are looking
to market
their product
to
this demographic (of which
there are a vast amount)
benkay: also, you can't up yourself, i don't
think.
Drew: thank you benkay, and
thanks for !upping me
Drew: 2. -out of
the worlds population of 7 billion, 3.6 billion are under
the age of 30, and 2 billion are millennials. -Electronic Music is indisputably
the music of choice for
the 18-34 year old demographic mentioned above -The “Electronic Music Culture”, as he calls it, is more digitally plugged in and more reliably marketed
to in a modern sense
than any other genre -The industry is currently very fragmented, and was much mor
benkay: /query assbot
to start a conversation
Drew: 1.
There is a media company (SFX entertainment) has stated
that
they are building a $1 billion empire in
the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) space and have already spent $400 million buying different EDM festival related brands all over
the world in
the last year for anywhere from $15-$100 million.
Drew: OK - I have successfully
thrown a music festival in Atlanta called Lunar Massive. Our plan is
to continue
the brand in
the most optimum direction and develop it into
the ideal acquisition
target for
the below company for
the further below reasons. -
☟︎ Drew: ok, well anyways
ThickAsThieves here are a few rough points on my business for discussion
kakobrekla: that
the last step of many steps one must
take before one
takes
the last step
Drew: like how do i private message assbot
to up me
Drew: i mean as far as if i rejoin and need
to get !upped again
mike_c: except
the aliens
that read
the log
kakobrekla: you
type in
this box,
this is private, limited
to earth residents
mircea_popescu: because everyone's living handout
to handout, and
the best way
to be loved is
to create
the appearance of doling out handouts
mircea_popescu: but in backwards world, "having spent a lot of money" is a claim
to fame,
mircea_popescu: mike_c everyone
thinks "it's good pr". somehow
the fucking world is upside down. for instance, in a sane market,
the shareholders of
the acquirer would discount
ther share
mike_c: and
they immediately shut
the project down
mike_c: when
they just hired
the
team and nobody got any money
mike_c: benkay: not retarded
to do it, retarded
to have
these "blah blah company got acquired" nonsense
benkay: not retarded at all. better
the
team you know
than
the miscellaneous derps from
the meetup you don't.
mike_c: yeah, it's a new
thing. so retarded.
mike_c: no startup ever goes bust in
the us. always an acq-hire at
the end..
mike_c: grammar has
two a's :D
mircea_popescu: "a start-up company whose product gives users with a way
to grammer"
ThickAsThieves: but
the acquired folks are old ycombo buddies of coinbase's
Jezzz: mike_c: notice
that
too :P
ThickAsThieves: "Coinbase announced
that it acquired Kippt, a start-up company whose product gives users with a way
to store and sort online media."
mircea_popescu: lol pron anal-yzation engines is where
the webmoney is!
Jezzz: dunno if I have
time
to build ozbot a porn analyzation engine
Jezzz: if you have another
tumblr source you'd like me
to add
to
the randomization, I can do
that
mircea_popescu: use naked in public or something,
those retouched soft pronz are painful
mircea_popescu: DrewHorne if you want
to discuss some business plan, discuss some business plan
ThickAsThieves: DrewHorne, either share or dont share, youre worrying about
the drapes for a house you dont own yet
Jezzz goes back
to his other project :)
kakobrekla: i am, as in exist, i havent started make
the change yet.
DrewHorne: ThickAsThieves - so if I were able
to discuss ~90% of my business plan here, but it involved fiat currency, would
this not be a proper place
to vet
the plan?
Jezzz: mircea_popescu: i'm almost done,
they better hurry :)
mircea_popescu: i dunno about
that hehe. we've had rapid deployment b4
Jezzz: indeed
ThickAsThieves
ThickAsThieves: <+mircea_popescu> upon consideration, i
think jezz has a very valid point. it's not ozbot
that should change.// hey
that was my point!
mircea_popescu: it's bitbet. kakobrekla can we make individual bet
titles read like "BitBet - Bitcoin network difficulty > 14Bn on Bastille day. 85 btc on yes (73%), 30 btc on no (27%), 55 days left (33`212 weight)" instead of just bet
title as is now ?
DrewHorne: and i actually don't watch any
TV really
mircea_popescu: upon consideration, i
think jezz has a very valid point. it's not ozbot
that should change.
DrewHorne: was i not sharing both equally by simultaneously sharing what I want and how it would benefit
them?
ThickAsThieves: you are more excited
to share what you want from people,
than what you have
to offer
them
mircea_popescu: <DrewHorne> BUT
the investment has a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years <<
this should go in my list of "stupid
things one should never say"
mircea_popescu: you're in
the barber shop explaining you want clothes made.
DrewHorne: this is
true, hence I am in a bit of a paradox here.
Jezzz shoos DrewHorne
to #fiat-assets
mircea_popescu: <DrewHorne> basically my idea involves moreso a fiat investment rather
than a bitcoin investment for starters, << so
that's
the end of
the discussion.
ThickAsThieves: also, if you lead with your hands out,
that doesnt help
mike_c: you already grabbing URLs, should be easy
to regex bitbet urls and do something different, no?
ThickAsThieves: Drew if any of
the secrets you keep are require dknowledge
to vet your plan,
then we cant help you
DrewHorne: BUT
the investment has a 6000% return, looking for $1,250,000 USD in exchange for 30% equity of a company we will sell for $250,000,000 in 5 years
Jezzz: lemme see if
there's an easy way
to do like a dynamic search
