Tip Blockchain provides usernames on chain instead of cryptographic addresses, and enables on chain discovery, making it easy to find other people on the network.
The Tip network connects users over peer to peer networks, and merchants with payment solutions, making it easier than ever to transact using cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency users today have to deal with hashed addresses, QR codes and syncing nodes, and other hurdles in order to use crypto. This creates friction and makes cryptocurrencies seem foreign to the average non-technical user.

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”.

Abraham Lincoln

Just over 150 years ago, the USA experienced one of its most influential and inspiring presidents. 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln is remembered for his exceptional visionary drive for change and reform which he indeed carried out during the four years of his office.

Lincoln quite naturally inspired those generations who followed after him and indeed he will continue to do so for generations to come. However, this inspiration which remains in every American’s heart is not only for his years of presidency but it is also because he was a highly shrewd businessman. Responsible for the success of his father’s business Filene’s Department store, he was both an exceptional president and a guru of business. His wisdom has quite naturally touched and inspired people across all walks of life not only because of who he was but because those lasting words make complete sense.

The quote above is salient to any project but even more so for those projects which wish to innovate and catalyse change. In the case of ICOs, marketing is at its height and often the words “innovation” and “change” are purely the selling speak of their product. It is just because of this that gauging an ICO such as TIP BLOCKCHAIN can, at times, be highly challenging. So what could be better than to go back to the days of yore and refer to the words of an old man of wisdom who has not only stood the test of time but whose actions both in business and politics were so successful? Indeed, Lincoln’s words make perfect sense and they go across the board of life’s adventures. Just as a the mountaineer does not climb Everest without a map, nor the football coach train his team for the World Cup without a strategy, likewise no business project can be successful without a realistic roadmap. All lies in a well thought out, viable strategy and planning — after all the tree won’t fall if those four hours are spent gauging the height and weight of the tree when the axe remains blunt.

The roadmap is the core of every project and should be one of the first things referred to when gauging a project. Questions such is the timescale viable? Is each step addressed logically? Are there sufficient stages to its development and is the timescale sufficient or too ambitious? These can be tell-tale signs of the good or indeed bad management of a future project.

Taking as an example TIP BLOCKCHAIN’s roadmap* (Powering mass adoption of cryptocurrency through discovery of information on the blockchain). We can see what can only be described as a positive example of what a successful roadmap should look like. We are able to quickly glean that the team behind the project has thought of most eventualities. The first quarter clearly indicates that the team have taken time to look at all angles of their project before embarking on their adventure. Furthermore they have delivered this stage according to plan. Looking through the years of their planning, they have also recognised the amplitude of the work involved to get it off the ground successfully. They have a sensible implementation timescale and have planned a realistic testing period; done step by step so as to ensure that their user experience at the end is one which is perfected.

They have clearly researched their markets and a methodology on how they will spearhead it. The roadmap is indeed interesting and certainly it shows one which is not in a hurry to move too quickly.

Studying this plan is well worth the while of a potential investor and is easily findable: an encouraging factor and an indicator that the main players aim is not to bamboozle. I would certainly recommend that any potential investor should look carefully at this roadmap. My conclusion after reading this is that the leaders of this project have certainly taken into account Lincoln’s wise words. Indeed the axe will be very sharp and therefore it is in keeping with the ambition and change that this project promises.
