DeepOnion, DeepOnion, DeepOnion... Almost everywhere I turn I see the name mentioned somewhere; Crypto forums, Youtubers, News articles... If you are a crypto enthusiast I can't image you have missed this coin. This article will not cover any technical aspects of any kind but only focus on the "rise of the DeepOnion followers".
That is a question I have been asking myself ever since I heard about DeepOnion for the first time. So let's start at the beginning (at least for me).
Well, apparently DeepOnion had adopted a new approach to their marketing campaign that rewarded supporters with $ONIONs (DeepOnion token) for being active on external media; Forums, Youtube, Articles, etc...
Having Bounty Campaigns in this way is nothing new but what stood out was the amount of $ONIONs being distributed and the price of $ONIONs. The price had gone 10x in a short amount of time and people saw the chance for some quick money by doing promotional work.
The DeepOnion marketing team was quick to respond, setting stricter and stricter rules on their Bounty Campaign and removed all incentives for "Spammers" to get anything from their poor comments. Some damage was already done and in some corners of the crypto community, DeepOnion had gotten a bad reputation. But like it or not, the word of DeepOnion was out and people had taken notice. "There is no such thing as bad publicity".
Well, the base support behind the coin never wavered, they stuck by the coin since they "believed". Even though the marketing campaign was received with both positive and negative feedback, more people were starting to look into DeepOnion and the technology behind it. Apparently, most people are liking what they seeing and are joining the DeepOnion ranks. Remember that these are people that have gotten an earful from both sides: "DeepOnion to the moon", "DeepOnion are spammers" and they still choose to invest?!
That has got to tell you something about the technology and ideas behind the project. A lot of people seem to find merit and value going forward despite the conflicting testimonies.
I have to admit that I agree with them, the technology and ideas presented in the DeepOnion Whitepaper, the development progress in the last few months and the continued growing support all seem to indicate a project with a lot of future potential.
