I just want to say that I'm very happy to see that the majority of the questions asked today are related to the project, rather than just to the WinTo token (ICO) as an investment opportunity.

This means that people really care about the transparency in charity and the opportunity to donate to noble causes without sacrificing a penny of their budget. There are many other unique features that you will have access to in the World Winners Network, and I will be always excited to talk about it with you.

Keep those questions coming!

Hi there,

Do you mean how we're going to build the network and get members engaged so we can get the shopping and charity part working?

If that's your question:

As we are based in Bulgaria, this is where all the versions of the app will be launched and tested. We are planing to have the charity causes creation and donations feature enabled in the very first version (without shopping and blockchain) for testing purposes, then we will add the shopping part with few merchants and influencers (testing again) and after Pre-Sale stage 3 we will launch a fully functional World Winners Network.

Bulgaria is a small country with approx population of 7 million, we have well connected team members and advisers and approaching both business owners and people with influence is not that hard. In fact we already have quite a few contracts signed and a lot of agreements.

Once we prove the concept to be working here, it will be a lot easier to establish all partnerships needed in any given country around the world. 

Glad to see you're excited about our project. We are truly trying to make a difference.

Any questions you may have, I'm here for you

Hi, that's not exactly how it works. Of course, I'm happy to clarify.

1. WinTo (Win Together) is the name of the token and ICO campaign. The name of our project we are raising funds for is World Winners Network - this is where all the shopping with discounts will be happening and money for charity will be generated. All this money/cashback will be donated to causes created by our members and you get to decide where exactly.

2. Money for charity ARE NOT coming from buying WinTo tokens, but from shopping with our Trading Partners (Big chains, online shops, small and medium businesses). There are many existing shopping communities/loyalty programs and our business model works similar to theirs.

Difference is as a member of World Winners Network when you shop you get an immediate discount on the spot and receive additional cashback to your account designed for charity. Then you get to pick and existing cause or create your own and send those donation money towards it.

3. The percentage designed for charity is 37.5% out of the cashback. Here is an example:

You buy a pair of shoes worth $100 from a trading partner of World Winners Network offering a total of 20% discount.

10% is your immediate discount, so you pay $90 and the remaining 10% = $10 is sent to your account, 37.5% of this $10 = $3.75 goes to your donation box/wallet.

WinTo tokens will be used to record the charity transactions on the blockchain in order to achieve transparency as well as for recording ratings and voting, enable users to create charitable causes and hot topics, access educational services and interviews with celebrities, buy advertising space and much more. To have a functional Tokenomic users will be rewarded with WinTo tokens for performing various tasks.

Once World Winners Network is functional (after Pre-Sale 3) the WinTo token will start to circulate in the ecosystem and as we grow the usage of the token will increase as well as the demand, which combined with the limited supply will lead to price appreciation.  

In your normal life you see charitable causes or people bagging for money on the street every single day, but even if you want to donate there re 2 main problems:

1. You're on a tight budget and you only have enough money for your daily needs, which you will spend on groceries, gasoline, cosmetics etc.

2. You have a decent steady income, but you don't trust charitable organizations due to all the corruption, misuse of funds and lack of transparency - so you don't donate.

When you become a World Winners Network member and you shop with discounts at our trading partners:

1. You receive money back on each purchase, which you get to use for supporting noble causes without touching your budget.

2. You can donate even without shopping (just buying WinTo tokens) and see exactly how and where your money is spent.

Does that answer your question? Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you may have.

You got that right, everyone generates profits and helps charity at the same time...and the amount we distribute for charity is not small either (37.5% of the cashback)

I'm asked for money on the streets every single day, but first I don't have enough to help everyone and second I'm not sure what they need the money for actually.

When you become a World Winners Network member you not only get donation money from your shopping, but get to decide and see how they are spent.

What inspires you the most in our concept?

That's another good question. Although it seems a bit ambitious to establish partnerships with so many celebrities and reach their fans, it's actually quiet easy due to the unique approach we have and the multiple benefits everyone gets.

Every famous person in the world is constantly chased by different organizations and asked to contribute to variety of charity programs. Most celebrities are willing to do that but do get annoyed and often don’t have any control on how their money is spent.

World Winners Network allow influential people to contribute to charity without being bothered by organizations or even spend their own money. They help us grow our user base extremely fast and we reward them with small portion of the cashback each one of their followers receives from shopping. The cashback is divided in personal and donation money like with any other user with the option for the personal cashback to be used for charity as well. They also achieve great PR results by being associated and have profiles in a social network focusing on transparent charity.

Influencers then approach their followers/fans on social or traditional medias and invite them to join World Winners Network where everyone not only shops with discounts and saves money, but receives additional cashback designed for donations, have the ability to create their own causes and find solutions for any problem they may have. For the purpose we generate personal referral links or codes attached to the invitations. You don't have to be a celebrity, any person with decent number of followers on Instagram for example can become an influencer and receive great benefits. To motivate influences we will only allow users to create profiles if they were invited by someone. (this may change when the network grow enough)

At this point more than 90% of the influental people we have approached are very excited to join World Winners Network when we go live. Even major European football clubs are interested to sign up and invite millions of fans as they will have a major impact on noble causes as well as receive amount of cashback enough to renovate a stadium.

If you want to learn more, I suggest you read "Building the Network" section of the Whitepaper. And below are the benefits:

Thank you for endorcing the concept. World Winners really enables the commerce to fuel charity, makes charity fully transparent with the implementation of the blockchain technology and encourage everyone to be socially responsible.

While the main engine of World Winners Network will be shopping with discounts so money for charity can be generated there will be a lot more exciting things happening within the ecosystem.

What is the one thing that you miss the most in the Social Networks you're currently using?

HI there,

Thanks for reaching out.

We have no intention to list our project on any paid ICO listing sites with manipulated ratings.

"Free" sounds good. Who does the reviews?

Nothing from the crypto world can kill Bitcoin, at least not at this stage. BTC is currently considered more of a store of value or investment, rather than currency and therefore rules the market and altcoins follow.

However, ICOs are another story - a totally different type of investment opportunity. High Risk for High ROI, you can't really loose all your money if you buy Bitcoin, can you? But you won't generate 30-40x returns either in 12-18 months.

Whoever says ICOs are dead is completely wrong. ICOs are here to stay and will become the best vehicle for both investors and developers. Of course, the lack of regulators and the fact that people are driven by GREED and FOMO, putting their money into something without doing any research allowed Scammers to make fortune and harmed the market. The current ICO model is not sustainable and major changes are required from both participants on the ICO market:

1. Developers should focus on bringing value to the world, creating ecosystems and tokens that have real use case.

2. Investors must do a proper research, be aware of the risk and have patience as genuine projects won't deliver in 3-4 months.

If projects like W12 succeed they will be protecting investors to a certain extend. What they do is holding the invested funds and release those on portions when the ICO team meets certain milestones. However, in my opinion each team launching Initial Coin Offering should be transparent and accountable for the market to mature.

I would highly appreciate anybody interested in ICOs to check out our project and give us an objective feedback. You can find the ANN thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5048511.msg46766590#msg46766590

Thank you in advance

Currently we are only interested in your services if we know there will be business coming our way.
Therefore, we need people who will not only translate this thread but will manage the communication in the given language and engage with the potential contributors.
Of course, you will be additionally rewarded for performing this duty. Anybody interested, please PM us.

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Thanks for your flattering words and for the good question, I assume many would ask the same.

If you look in the breakdown you will notice that we have planned a total of 14.2 Million for marketing to be able to get to the last crowdsale where we will spend a fortune on the network expansion and major part of this fortune will be paying for advertising campaigns.

While until the end of Pre-Sale 3 we will only market the ICO once the World Winners Network goes live as a fully functional product here in Bulgaria (and the token will be utilized) we will start expanding our team, build an international infrastructure, open offices, establish partnerships, advertise the platform, pay for legal etc. in order to go International and then Global.

I know 125M is a lot of money, but as I was involved in building the network of world's largest shopping community (Lyoness International) I know these probably won't be enough and we will have to use a portion of the revenue we will be generating already.

So yeah, there is a lot more than simply building the network and trust me when it comes to such large projects money just vanish in no time.

I'm sorry for not being able to provide you with exact breakdown, but although we have great economists and people with financial background in our team it is simply impossible to do that even for them.

One thing I can promise, as we progress we will try to keep our community as informed as possible. When the ICO is over we will count on the contributors who supported us to be the first users of the World Winners Network.

I hope I managed to answer your question

After the end of the campaign most ICOs tokens are going down in terms of price because both the teams and the investors want to dump their tokens ASAP and make some profits. Most were started by online marketers creating products for ICOs, they can promote and make money off, rather than developing solutions that can only live on the blockchain.

You definitely have a point why choosing Bounty over ICO and many people do the same as they don't have to risk any funds. However, if you contribute to ICOs that have their focus on building a product, have their token utilized and go on exchange only after there is demand for it, then you can make more than 20x as an early investor. 

If you have few minutes you can see how my team and I have structured our token sale as an example of the above: https://winto.io/

ICO's are here to stay, they just need to evolve and will become one of the best vehicles for developers. However the returns generated back in 2017 were just insane and many people who "Got Wealthy" no longer see 20-30x as a decent ROI or are willing to wait/hold for 12 months or longer. I personally still invest in ICO's as there are many great projects, but you need to do a proper due diligence rather than gamble your money away.

Here is how I do it in 5 steps (this is part of an article I wrote recently, but haven't published it yet, so it's an original content):


1. Real Use Case

With  the  enormous  amount  of  value  exchanging  hands  over  the  blockchain  and  the  prospect  of  getting  
"free" money, it's not hard to imagine why many scammers, online money makers and existing companies
try to identify any possible reason to launch an ICO campaign.

The first thing you try to find is a legitimate reason for having a token. Meaning if what they claim their
token will do can be done without it, the future isn’t bright. Even with the best marketing during the ICO,
after the sale is over useless tokens are simply useless.

2. Token Distribution

Is  the  number  of  tokens  offered  to  the  public  more  than  51%  of  the  total  amount  generated?  Is  there  a  
maximum one can invest? If not, this isn’t a decentralized token economy. It means that the founders or
few whales hold the biggest bags of coins/tokens and can easily manipulate the price.

This is how most Pump ‘N Dumps are happening and trust me it is very frustrating If you have some of
those tokens and patiently waited for the end of the ICO hoping to make some profit. When the founders
are associated with whales the last thing they do is protect regular investor’s interests.

3. Use of Funds

Do they describe how the funds will be used in detail? I haven’t seen an ICO aiming for less than few million
dollars and dare to believe that even teams behind the most successful campaigns are great marketers,
but not very experienced in finance management and business execution.

So, besides the use of funds section in the white paper you should check the team (not the advisors) for
someone with finance background as well as someone with experience in the field the project is focusing
after the ICO ends.

4. Price Appreciation

Even if you analyzed everything the project has experienced team, real use case for their token and shows
what they will do with your money there is one thing that is probably the most important from investors
point of view. What will drive a price appreciation?

The price always depends on demand and supply. So first you should look at the total supply (if any) - the
lesser the better. Although in most cases this is based on assumptions you need to check on the token
circulation or how many tokens will be used in the ecosystem if the project succeeds.

5. Liquidity

Of course, like with any other asset the one factor as important as the value is liquidity. If the token is al-
ready being utilized major exchanges will certainly accept it. Once exposed to millions of crypto traders its
price will significantly increase and you can sell it in few seconds.

It is better to hold a token for 12-18 months until it is utilized and get listed on major exchanges with big
trading volume, rather than buy a token that will get listed on “Micky Mouse” exchange right after the end
of the ICO with no demand for it.

I hope it helps and good luck with your investment.

The fees are a bit high, but when I was looking for something similar to your needs these guys seems to be reliable.

Just to let you know I haven't used any of their services

I think it depends from the electricity cost. If you live in a electricity friendly country then its okay.

They want to make a lot of money and on top of that gather your personal info.. Nothing has changed..

The blockchain is the future and there is no doubt in it. Everything will become transparent via blockchain technologies and there will be less scams for everything!

I think Bitcoin will be always easy accessible. Do not be afraid to use it
