The car only has one race which is already pre-paid from the previous car's sale. We already have potential partners talking to us only on the mention of this particular race.
I agree with a lot of what you said. It's right on. Except that it goes to a few lucky users - none of the event organizers get paid. Salaries are outright banned. That's one of the reasons VP even came to be to prevent any spending on salaries.
I hope that I'm wrong and that the car can lead to something good for hive but i just don't see it at the moment. I've heard nothing that shows me otherwise.
I know that there are a lot of people here putting in a lot of work on behalf of hive so i don't want to be bashing. I want us to be successful as a community.
There are plenty more users who would help work towards this given the chance. Take the hiveblocks twitter account. Pay for the yearly premium and if you or whoever has control of the account doesn't have the time to put it to work give password access to myself, a different user or a small group to keep it active and spread awareness of Hive.
Same could go to telegram, linkdin and any other big crypto hub. Get a group of users to work on a social strategy together and make some noise.
All of these projects above getting funded should be making regular promotional posts as part of the funding that we can take and share across the board. If you were in charge of a company you would be pushing staff to get on linkdin and share every update or activity. We should be in the same mindset.
