After big aspirations to take the social media world by storm, blockchain-based Voice.com is gearing up for its summer reboot as an NFT platform for emerging creators.
If anyone ever wonders where I get my sense of audacity to speak plainly and honestly to funded projects burning through a pile of cash, here is a perfect example: my boss.
Thanks Joe. It’s the amount of cash burned that I’ll never be able to wrap my head around. A lot of the best and most successful projects in the crypto space were built by 2 people on a diet of ramen noodles. Success is earned. 30 million spent on a domain when teams on EOS were out there begging to keep the dream alive. It’s sad. It’s gross.
The project is good, of course. But we as human beings do not like uncertainty. We want to ensure ourselves. Unfortunately, I cannot express my opinion in this uncertainty. We all love NFTs, we want them all to do well. I hope they learn from their mistakes and together we can take this ecosystem one step further.
I have heard about Voice on Kenny's article, and here now. From my perspective, I see that they are hiding behind the funds they have had, they could manage the whole thing in a completely different way.
However, I like their idea of easing the artists to bring their art into crypto space. I hope they have learnt from their previous mistake, and they will accomplish this launch better. For me and for most of the people diversity is gold standard. We should be able to analyze several options and pick the ones we like. Therefore, I think we should all support new entries like Voice, making the sufficient quantity of critisim. So, they can benefit from this and they can bring their diversity into the crypto space.
You have a neutral narrative. I felt it when I read it. I like it because some people even talk about things they don't have like they're perfect.
The project is beautiful, but it has ambiguous sides. I don't know if it'll provide complete confidence. I don't think it will be long-term if an investment comes without providing it. A short-term hype can occur. Of course, these are assumptions. Encouraged by your honesty, I write what comes to mind. :)
I think you'll achieve what you want, no matter what. I wish you success.
I have been following Voice with interest, as I ventured into the NFT space just this summer. A lot of what I found was confusing and lacking essential features, and a new, well-funded, 3rd generation approach that was imminent had to be of interest. Over these first few months (I have now minted and sold NFTs and collected NFTs in my learning process), I have been keeping a list of the features I'd ideally like to have in an NFT marketplace. Voice appears to address several important items on my list, though I can't evaluate my impressions until it is actually here. I don't like the dependence on a private chain - I am not looking for a new FB, or a new Amazon, for that matter. I am looking for a democratized NFT marketplace with community/social aspects that addresses the obstacles to adoption that non-crypto-native folks face in joining the NFT revolution. I am a photographer that spent my day job in a highly technical field, and the NFT onboarding has been tough for me. Most of my photography and art community in real life is far less prepared to deal with the hurdles of the current NFT landscape than I. I don't believe we will achieve the vision that NFTs tease unless we address that reality. If Voice offers a real opportunity for me to be in community on-platform with other artists, with collectors, with curators, with galleries, etc. I will be compelled to give it a try.
I appreciate your optimism but there is nothing I’ve seen up to this point that would lead me to believe they have a vision and any real plan. They’ve had months to grow a community of faithful believers and they didn’t put in the work required.
My optimism stems largely from my desperation to leave all ad-based social media behind forever. I have given up Facebook, though I could not bring myself to sacrifice my art community on Instagram. Now, my interest in NFTs has necessitated an engagement with the Twitterverse - a step forward towards freeing myself and then a step back. On both Twitter and Instagram, I choose my communities with care, avoiding most of what I hate about the social dilemma, but the ugly truth is that by my participation in the platforms I continue to support the monetization of rage and hate and disinformation.
Frankly, I didn't know much. Thanks to you, I have gained some knowledge and will investigate further. Therefore, it would not be right to comment on this uncertainty. I'm looking forward to what will happen.
It is very difficult as the opponents are very strong. Few months ago nft ecosystem developed very fast, nft platforms were few in number, but now is it?
After Binance nft was launched, people understood the importance of nft even more. so voice must have a very good project to be successful.
Sean said in his article that voice didn't learn from his mistakes in the first round. Frankly I'm a bit surprised, it fails on the first try and doesn't fix its errors. I don't know how to continue. but I hope he learns from his mistakes and lets the nft ecosystem grow
In fact, NFTS were very common before binance. But even if people heard, he couldn't notice because he wasn't investigating. Most things are like that. Voice can be successful if it corrects its errors.
It will be a different experience. But people don't like questions. They'll see if they have more answers. Unfortunately, there are too many questions here.
The team must answer them as soon as possible. If he wants real success, except to reduce questions, he must destroy it completely.
I hope The Voice destroys the questions. He succeeds.
I don't know enough about the project yet, but I was intrigued about the incentive for beta testing. On first impressions the $15 gift card sounded good, but it seems that this is to be spent on NFTs that will only be deleted, so not much incentive at all. This may limit the amount and variety of people willing to test, but it also makes me question their willingness to invest in the community they're hoping to attract.

Even-handed and just criticism.
Thanks Joe. It’s the amount of cash burned that I’ll never be able to wrap my head around. A lot of the best and most successful projects in the crypto space were built by 2 people on a diet of ramen noodles. Success is earned. 30 million spent on a domain when teams on EOS were out there begging to keep the dream alive. It’s sad. It’s gross.
If we keep writing like this, they won’t be able to ignore us.
I'm curious about Voice.
I hope they are successful.
But most importantly, it gives confidence to its users.
If they can do that, they've accomplished something great.
Its launch is approaching and they should inform their users more.
I am both excited and disappointed.
Because there are many question marks in the head and there are no answers to them yet.
I want something good to happen for EOS.
Because I love EOS.
They should explain in detail that the Nfts will be deleted.
If people have a question mark in their mind, they will hesitate to enter here.
As you said, I hope they learned a lesson from the negativities in their first attempt.
The project is good, of course. But we as human beings do not like uncertainty. We want to ensure ourselves. Unfortunately, I cannot express my opinion in this uncertainty. We all love NFTs, we want them all to do well. I hope they learn from their mistakes and together we can take this ecosystem one step further.
Thank you for the article, Sean!

There is a very complicated situation for Voice right now. They have not fully disclosed their plans and uncertainty prevails.
When the questions are more than the answers and this is not resolved, the job gets into an even more dire situation.
I hope they learn from their previous mistakes and correct themselves.
Thanks for the article and information. I wish you a good day.

It will be a problem, especially if it does not correct its previous errors. But if Labor is given and corrected, it seems likely to succeed.

First of all, voice's job
It is very difficult as the opponents are very strong. Few months ago nft ecosystem developed very fast, nft platforms were few in number, but now is it?

Thanks for the article.
Have a nice day.

Keep up great work guys! Finney to the Mars
An an EOS community member I'm disappointed about the Ethereum (only) wallet. Let's hope new features include EOS/Bullish compatibility.
I'm excited to see where Voice goes. Maybe it's too early to tell but I don't get why the private blockchain approach.
Hopefully they try to do things right this time !
