Apparently there's a contest with prizes going on right now. The answer to your dreams is marketing. Promotions positively pressure price performance. I wish Satoshi sent me a letter letting me know about Bitcoin in 2008. Please peruse potential prose: https://t.co/r7YhOPGRCg
Marketing tips for anything: Compelling headline. i.e. [] did X price in Y days! What's in it for me? Benefits not features. Call to action. Limited time offer. People make decisions emotionally and then justify them logically. Emotion is prioritized over logic in most people. You have to tell them EXACTLY what you want them to do and why they should do it right now.
Brain storm of of possible benefits & features, quite a extensive list really:
Permissionless
Begging permission and being a bitch to others that don't care about you.

Price

Being early
Limited supply
Passive income
Staking, LP, farming, time locking,
Free money airdrops
Derisking to stable coin without a bank account
Tax efficiency, being able to get a loan easily online with no paperwork at all. You don't have to pay income taxes on money you borrow, so you could take loans instead of selling, without all the nasty paperwork. Beware, if the price moves against you, and you have to sell to cover, you may have a bad time. (WARNING I'm not an accountant and taxes are hard to understand, so act on these ideas at your own risk.)

I don't like all these, but many people do.
One should take ones own advice. I want you to visit the website now and consider promoting what you care about or winning some easy prize money. Note: I don't have anything to do with the website or the promotion. I don't work for you, I have never worked for you and I will never work for you. It's a good thing everything works best that way!
P.S. Most people's headlines truly suck. Ask yourself, what in this headline do I actually care about at? I think headlines based on potential murder headlines about features. A feature is not a benefit! 6 gigahertz processor is a feature. Loads games faster and gives you the edge of your opponents is a benefit. Translate features into benefits!
Cryptocurrency is the best performing asset in this history of man kind and millions of people have made life changing wealth with it. Why invest in anything with less potential? Don't you deserve the best? Don't your kids?
It's also good to include the risks that the volatility is wild, everyone is trying to part you from your private keys, scammers and centralized services, etc. Don't risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance is no guarantee of future. Scammers also launch things that go to $0 on purpose or accident, even non scammers build things that fail entirely sometimes. Cutting edge technology sometimes makes you bleed. Imposter websites and fake bridges, with paid ads promoting them. Caveat emptor.
P.P.S. Just buying ETH somewhere like Coinbase and then figuring out the bridge later enhances the chances someone gets their free wet instead of analysis paralysis and missing out. Too many options paralyzes people. Example get feet wet path: Get ETH at @Coinbase Install wallet, bridge, swap.
Currently working on pressuring some larger exchanges I've worked with to list $HEX and $PLS.
Like RT and interact with this post to show them just how large this community is and how much a listing would mean to you all....
@ZubyMusic I remember listening to the demo minidisc saying loud and clear etc it truly was - so much clarity - saying that it’s one thing I had sat in a draw for years not knowing was worth loads of money🤣
