Why KickCity Could be the Answer to Mainstream Adoption of Cryptocurrencies
Token crowdsale starts on March 1st, 2018
The event & entertainment industry is unique because it allows for high level connections among people ( online & offline ). Each minute, thousands of events are being organized across the globe. Interestingly, people invite friends, family and strangers to attend events.
Imagine a value protocol on blockchain that rewards people for connections and for attending events. This could potentially cause most people on earth to become token holders, create huge demand for such token and subsequently bring people closer to the blockchain / crypto revolution.
KickCity is an Event platform that uses blockchain technology to help event organizers effectively sell more tickets by engaging and providing incentives to anyone who recommends events while encouraging event attendees to buy more tickets with a cash back in tokens. A win-win solution for event organizers, promoters and attendees. This solution will provide social justice and reward any user according to his/her promotional power.
The platform accepts BTC, Fiat and KCY (KickCity) tokens for ticket purchases, and rewards only in KCY. Founder & CEO Gideon Nweze discussed some observations with data the company is collecting on the reality of cryptocurrencies as they presently relate to Events: “We powered some blockchain conferences by Cryptofriends in Saint Petersburg and Barcelona. 97% of attendees bought tickets using FIAT while 3% bought with BTC. This proved to us that:
1. Most crypto people prefer to hold BTC & ETH;
2. A small percentage of the world’s population that attends events owns crypto;
3. By allowing people to purchase tickets in fiat and rewarding in tokens, we will increase the crypto learning curve as everyone will want to use what they have earned.
The First iteration of the product on blockchain is 90% ready. We have started testing KickCity protocol on a private blockchain. We used the February window to finish improvements and roll out the platform before the start of the crowdsale.
The Team plans to involve popular artists, event promoters and social media influencers and go mainstream. KickCity participated in Y Combinator’s Online StartUp School and received a grant from the Government of Helsinki.
Kickcity also has a solid team of Advisors. Among them are Eric Benz (Managing Director at Cryptopay), Sebastian Stupurac (Project & Product at WINGS DAO), Boris Povod (Blockchain Developer at WINGS DAO), Geoffrey Weli-Wosu (Project Lead at Domineum), Jeremy Epstein (CEO at Never Stop Marketing), and Jonathan Chester (Founder & President of Bitwage).
The crowdsale will see KickCity raise $12.5 million and release 250 million tokens. 64% will be sold during the crowdsale with 36% shared equally among the team, partners and KickCity.
