In conversing with ICO creators, being solicited by tons of blockchain “marketing” professionals due to our upcoming ICO, and advising the largest successful ICO in Korea (BosCoin) to raise over $15m a few months ago, as well as being involved in partnerships with successful ICO’d firms like TaaS, (and to make this sentence really long) contributing to a few of ICOs myself (Cosmos, Storj, IOTA to name a few), I thought I would share some of the things I’ve learned.
We have had some really cool projects launch/prepare-to-launch using our tools. Part of the growth in adoption is driven by the fact that we just listen to what our users want and rapidly build products purely based off of that. Purely. We don’t do services. Which some find annoying, but we always say: if you need something custom, why don’t we make our products more customizable to fit requesters’ needs and bring value to a much wider audience in the future? The future of money (Money 3.0?) is trying to make its way to the present, and we’re just trying to be useful, scalable disciples.
We have made the creation of ICOs and coin economies accessible to thousands, and hope to do this for millions one day, as the world shifts in its thinking regarding What is money, really?. From legal contract generators for assets backed by blockchain tokens, to blockchain-based legal agreement file storage, to a simple IDE for coding up custom smart contracts…. The list goes on: mobile app and API (public release of V1 of the API, which the mobile app uses, coming soon!). I’m very proud of the work our amazing team has done. The accessibility we have brought to market has drawn some criticism due to the fact that scammers can now more easily scam people with coin offerings. While at the same time, local communities are using our tools to equity-finance infrastructure projects, revolutionize the entertainment industry, and peer-to-peer lend in productive manners. Ying yang, or whatnot. Cash is great until it’s used to pay for human trafficking or illegal firearms sales, kind of thing.
