humanity.
We often wonder why marketing has not been performed for the various pillars of the
Elastos Ecosystem.“Does the internet have marketing?” or “Did Bitcoin have a marketing
team?” are pivotal counter-questions.These questions state that throughout history, the
most innovative, world-changing technologies were born by love and necessity. Like Bitcoin
and the first iterations of the Internet, the Elastos Foundation is following in the footsteps
of almost every great technology that precedes theirs. By creating the New Internet out of
love, its necessity and inherent value will undoubtedly thrust it forward.
Is Rong’s Passion Burning? Or is Rong Burning With Passion?
I must say, even I questioned if he still has what it takes to push through impending storms.
Rong has proven that he still has that burning fire, and will always care about the vision of
Elastos and the “little man”.
He frequently takes time out his schedule to be of service and offer individuals support that
may not even believe and support him.“I could be done with it all, be mad and upset and
leave. But that would hurt all of us in the long run. I have tried to pitch this idea at Microsoft
and they did not care. I’ve spoken to many other who did not care, and you know what I said,
Amos? Forget them, I’ll go create it.These big organizations and monopolies do not care,
and if Elastos is to fail, only darkness will rule the future”.
Rong is concerned about liberties that future generations may be denied as a result of
these internet cartels.“It does not matter if we market today or tomorrow, what the
Foundation does does not matter. I am aware that we may currently be having performance
issues with various parts of the project. What project doesn’t? However, I can tell you this,
the New Internet will be built. It will be up to you all to tell it what to do and where to go. Not
me, not the foundation, but everyone. Me? I’ll be here taking the blame and attacks people
send forward. It is my dream, that is my responsibility. We will build this internet and then
leave it in the community’s hands”.
What’s Next?
Cyber Republic is where your eyes should be set.The Elastos Foundation is keeping its
promise to us as we see various components of the New Internet being built and released
regularly. With the product being made, and with the assistance of the Foundation, we are
seeing adoption already taking place. It is now our turn to keep our promise to Rong and the
Foundation.The fundamental deciding factor to success boils down to one thing:
participation.
I say, contribute today, work today, develop today! For whatever happens with this New
Internet will be left to us to decide, as the Cyber Republic, the world’s first Decentralized
Nation.
Elastos is not a vision of gains, it is a vision that will gain.
