I think it's only difficult now when every single buy/sell stands out. I know it's not easy, but we have to remember that person you're investing in already received a Founder Reward from you. So you don't owe them anything and can sell anytime.

Fact is, sales open up the coin at a lower price now for easier sales and a NEW opportunity to earn a Founder Reward. This is easier for creators to live with when we stop looking at coin price as a status symbol. A lower coin price means more opportunity to make money!

Of course, there's a slight devil's advocate angle here in that while a lower coin price means greater reward opportunity for potential investors, it also shows you as less of an influencer and more of an average joe who maybe isn't worthy of investment. Let's try not to look at it that way though. Ultimately we should be looking at investment opportunities based on a creator's value potential (what they're offering the world) as opposed to simply investing because their coin is super affordable.

For creator coins to truly succeed, we need to get away from the guilt of selling someone's coin. Of course, that will be MUCH easier when we don't all know each other. When there are thousands of people on here, we won't typically have personal relationships with the celebs we invest in so selling won't be an issue.

When looking at the comment by @BKPOWER8 I just happened to notice in the original post on Diamond that there's a video as well. That video didn't load in @zirkels for me for some reason. I didn't think twice about it though and flew past it straight to your article and then posted my comment. Now that I see there's a video, my comment my be totally off-base. I'll give the video a watch later when I get some free time.

That almost happened to me too, but I know that she does vlogs so I went back to check for the video. Your comment was still about CC’s and overcoming the anxiety of selling. You made a great point that the owner has already received FR. So to me, your post just added to the discussion (even though she was actually just sharing her “toolbox” for handling CC’s”.) I really enjoyed reading what you wrote and I’m thankful to both of you for talking about this subject.

Elizabeth, I really appreciate you sharing your opinion and thoughts in this wonderful blog! Very well said. You made me laugh at the end!!! 😆

A few thoughts came to mind and I was thinking on how to type them up when then I saw @jodybossert ‘s comment. He nailed it for me!!!!

I was thinking how amazing your SGB will be when we don’t know each other as well. I might can view it more as a business when the people I’m skimming don’t feel like a close friend.

I’m also struggling with the mediocre coin…I don’t feel mediocre, I mean I try to produce content. But I’m not super consistent because I’m very swamped in real life AND not everyone is interested in space & aviation. I’ve noticed that the people doing the staking seemed to have formed a “club” and keep pumping up each other’s coin. That’s fine! That is another strategy. But that’s not for me. At least not right now. I’m not buying a sharkgang and using it as my profile to make my CC grow. I’m always allowed to change my mind, but for now, I’m just on here being myself…not minting my photography or selling AI….which makes me pretty mediocre. My coin reflects this and I’m totally ok with that!

OMGoodness. I can write a whole vlog in response to your comment. My knee jerk reaction to this comment, is you, your input and your coin and your project is nowhere close to mediocre. I've decided to 'scalp' a bit of my holdings in your coin. You will be the first. The reason is I want to shine a light on you and encourage folks to buy into your cc. In my mind, when i skim some of my earnings off the growth of your coin, I am shouting out to the community that your coin is contributing to my monthly income. Investing in your coin is Profitable, and I hope to send the message : "Buy @BKPOWER8. " The second part of what I want to share is, I came across a Woman, named AshaFrost.com, she is an indigenous Canadian Indian Woman, and she wrote a book called, "You Are The Medicine" , meaning we all have something to bring to the table and if we allow our talents are 'being' to come forward , it's healing somehow, somewhere o someone. , Ever since i met you, I believe, the special medicine that you bring to the community is your healing power of communication, and engagement. I feel seen when you respond with your comments, and thoughts. Whether you agree with me or not you hear me. That is precious, holds value and I am so happy to be in ownership with you of your coin. Deep respect ! and i want to celebrate that by shining a light on you. You are the first. Thank you for being you and the first to be 'Scalped' on this journey of sustainability.

Hi Elizabeth
Sorry for my late response, I was offline for a while. I listened to it twice with audio, but I can only convert the audio into punctuation marks that I cannot select to translate... I looked over the text on my PC with my phone and Google, but I still didn't understand everything. I wish I could understand it completely but the language barrier doesn't allow it on this one.

But from what I could understand, it’s great that you highlight this item and I think you are taking a big step not only for us but for the entire community!! I am very happy that you are paying attention to the Cc trading in a positive form!!

Good words of reply from @jodybossert with mentioning the FR! Also @bkpower8 but I know how she think about this, I am glad that @ElizabethTubbs spoke about this all so we can open brainstorm about this...

The uncomfortable feeling to sell from friends is for me not easy, no friends random creators is easier, like Jody said when there are thousends of people. But last weeks I was thinking, the difference between friends and nice creators.

“Friends".... are they friends? Or did we meet each other in the same DeSo area at the right time?
Of course some exceptions when you have a good click, they know will be real friends but that are a few.

For example years ago at FB I started also with "friends" I am very very less almost not active there, last 2 years. Only to see what is happening in my village because and I got yearly birthday congrats. And then it's because my date is showing there.... so that was the friendship.

Am I a bit depressed when I read this back? I don’t know but I try to see it in the good perspective. I am very curious about that, what will happening with the friendships here in 5 years when there are much and more creators here. Should they think about the sellings I did with their creator coin?

That s also why I have almost all my CC purchases in my nft account, its easier to see it commercial for me then when I personal at this account selling. Strange maybe but for me it works ;-)

I am very curious what @mher @randhir and @Johan_Holmberg think about your article Elizabeth. Some active CC trading creators and if they maybe can give some extra ideas in this…

Again thanks for sharing and maybe I call you this week, so you can explain some details for me you mentioned in this article at the phone 👋 ❤️

This was a great response Gaike! I had no idea that you have a difficult time translating things like this. That must be so frustrating. I totally understand your comment about “friends”. I think there is a difference between a DeSo friend and a DeSo acquaintance. Just like in real life. I’m no expert and have no idea where that line is drawn. But I think our instinct can tell us a lot. Back when I was on FB, I too got those birthday wishes. Like 300 messages…then I spent my day trying to thank people. When all it was…is FB shouting out my birthday to the world 😂 However, it was still a choice of those people to send me a message or not, so for the small token, I was still very grateful. I guess my point is that even acquaintances here on DeSo would be hard for me to sell. As an investment person, I just don’t view the CC as an investment. It’s almost like a gift. If I viewed it as an investment, I’d never buy any CC. THIS is the problem that I need to get my head around. And Jody’s comment about the person already receiving FR really made sense! So I’m working on my brain to view this all differently 😊 I like the way you treat your NFT account. It’s a way to separate business from personal. That mind set would probably work for me too. 👍🏼

Oh hell yes it seriously frustrating, but 1 year ago I even tried so I move on forwards 🙏 And I found a possibility in my laptop that can screen the words when someone is telling. So reading while she is telling is better to understand. If.... the person is speaking clearly because otherwise my mac friend doesnt understand it at all and i am trying to understand a language that doesnt excist 🤣🤣 Thanks for your reply, friend ;-)❤️
