Please be sure to have your DNotes off of the exchanges before April 16th.
It is imperative that if you wish to participate in the swap for DNotes 2.0, now or in the future, that you remove your coins from the exchanges prior to April 16th. Leaving your coins on the exchange means that the exchange controls your coins, and not you. We will of course make every effort to help you swap your coins but we cannot make any guarantees that we can recover coins that are not in your control.
I just checked out Cryptopia. The following message was display: Market Closing
NOTE/BTC market is closing, please cancel any open orders and withdraw your coins.Please withdraw your DNotes from Cryptopia and any other exchange immediately if you have not done so. It must be done before April 16, 2018. Always remember, he who controls the wallet controls the coin. We can not help to swap your coin if you do not control the wallet. |

Another feature you might consider adding in a future update: scrape addresses. Those direct staking rewards to a different address than the one with the balance that staked. This is useful in situations where you want to preserve your principal but spend your "interest." It would be especially attractive now that I know a simple withdrawal will not jeopardize CRISP rewards for the entire balance--I believe directing staking rewards to a scrape address could register as a withdrawal on a technical level.
That request has come up a few times. The challenge, to me, which I haven't really discussed with my team just yet, is deferring staking privileges and at the same time sending the balance somewhere completely different (external wallet that is not part of the equation). Deferred staking without affecting CRISP should be fine. Definitely doable, just have to appropriately prioritize it in relation to complexity and time required to make all of these features work together simultaneously. Glad to know it's at least on the list. I wouldn't see it as a top priority in the early stages. It's not like I'm going to be selling DNotes at 1.8 cents anyway. This will become more relevant as the DNotes price climbs and staking rewards become significant in terms of monetary value. In the mean time, growing the balance makes the most sense as an investor  Wiser, I agree with you on this one - growing the DNotes balance at this time makes the most sense. We are getting to the stage when DNotes is hard to come by, especially after April 16, 2018 when DNotes 1.x ends. My highest priority at this time is on funding and we are making great progress. We have two firms working on our Reg. D 506 (c) and decided to increase the amount to $5 million to make it more attractive for a large Dealer Broker network to assist us. This round will be limited only to accredited investors. As soon as we get close to the $2 million marks, our law firm will start drafting our filing for the next round - Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Tier 2 to raise $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide. That will take us to the later part of this year. I am more confident than ever that we are on an amazing strategic path to realize our vision of mass adoption of DNotes. We will be a significant industry force but will only get there with the right team - those who are committed to be best in class in all things that matter. |

Thanks for sharing, wiser. This may be the first time in a long time when it makes sense to file an extension. I hope that by then there will be better guidance from the IRS. |

May I respectfully ask how many of you know the difference between an “ICO” and a Reg. A+ Mini-IPO? Don’t feel embarrassed if you don’t know. Many professionals, and VC guys, who should know, are clueless. That will continue to hunt our industry – perpetuate bad advice and misinformation while charging their clients for a lot of money. As they are currently structured ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) cannot and have not been registered with the SEC or in compliance with state blue-sky laws. The sale of securities that is not registered or exempt with the SEC is illegal. However, it is perfectly legal to limit the investment to only accredited investors with a filing of a private placement memorandum, like Reg. D 506 (c) with the SEC. But by itself, that limits the number of participating investors, not enough, if the objective is to launch a coin with massive participation to get it listed on an exchange and get the price to the moon. I am beginning to take notice of a second wave of ICOs taking place using this combination. To me the legal exposure remains. And, I agree with the author that, “much of the ICO activity in the US was completed in total disregard to existing securities law.” “Feit says Reg A+ may be the solution that ICO issuers need but, again, this securities exemption is not without certain requirements that take both time and money.” In contrast to ICO, Reg. A+ Mini-IPO Title IV Tier 2 of the JOBS Act is a “Qualified” exemption with the SEC to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide with general advertising. However, it is very time consuming and expensive and no funding can be excepted until the filing is “Qualified” by the SEC. In our case, it involves the sale of DNotes Global, Inc. common shares. It does not involve any DNotes. It is important to keep DNotes as a digital currency token that has never been sold as a “security” or participated in any ICOs. Investor can invest in one or both of our projects and still get the benefits of our cross ownership. We are often unique because we are willing to bear the cost and take the time to do the right thing. Ryan Feit from SeedInvest: Crypto Securities Regulation 101
During the 2018 LendIt Fintech conference in San Francisco this week, SeedInvest CEO Ryan Feit delivered a presentation on the current state of securities regulations in regards to initial coin offerings (ICOs). Until recently, much of the ICO activity in the US was completed in total disregard to existing securities law. Comments emanating from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) clarified their view that pretty much all ICOs were securities and needed to file for an appropriate securities exemptions. One of the most compelling aspects of tokens issued during an ICO is the fact that typically soon after the minting of these digital coins they could be traded on a crypto-exchange thus creating immediate liquidity. This creates another significant hurdle for issuers who want to remain compliant in the eyes of the SEC (and CFTC) as the exchanges are not regulated and these tokens are being viewed as securities. Feit, who has been in the securities crowdfunding space for some years now, points to two of the biggest challenges in the ICO market; “The biggest challenge to launching successful token offerings in a regulated environment will be secondary market liquidity,” said Ryan Feit, CEO & Co-Founder of SeedInvest. “The crypto community is going to need to figure out a number of securities issues that nobody is talking about such as Blue Sky and 12(g).” The 12(g) rule has to do with a severe limit on the number of token holders of record and a trip wire on assets above $10 million. If you trigger 12(g) the SEC expects you to become a reporting company like companies traded on public exchanges. That is a problem. Blue Sky references the need to kiss the ring of every single state regulator before you trade securities on an exchange. Feit says Reg A+ may be the solution that ICO issuers need but, again, this securities exemption is not without certain requirements that take both time and money.

You are very welcome, Amadeus82. It is important for all of us to help educate others so that the can not be so easily scammed. I have no doubt that DNotes will be successful as long as we stay on the right path and keep making good progress. Thanks for your support. |

Another terrific book review by BuyBookPro, a popular book review site with over 250,000 visitors. The book is one of our strategic building blocks that cannot be easily replicated by our competitors. Take notice that the book links DNotes and everything that we do into one package giving us maximum synergistic impact. Its exposure is already reaching millions of people beyond our industry. There are many interviews, articles, and book reviews scheduled for the coming weeks and months. We do not just talk about mass adoption of DNotes. Instead, we have clearly defined our strategic path to realizing the vision. Do the right thing, the right way – everything else will fall in place. Book Review: ‘Improve Your Odds: The Four Pillar of Business Success,’ by Alan Yong“Recently, DNotes Global, Inc., an ambitious contender in the digital currency arena, announced it’s releasing DNotes 2.0, an upgraded version of the currency it developed in 2014. In four short years, this company dedicated to making cryptocurrency accessible to all has grown up. Its co-founder, Alan Yong, has directed a steady and consistent course since the firm’s onset — and the strategy has gained a solid footing in this tricky new field. Now Yong has consolidated his formidable business acumen into his book, Improve Your Odds: The Four Pillars of Business Success. Yong has a fascinating backstory: he’s a natural entrepreneur with a deeply innovative streak. Back in the early 90s, he was responsible for the DTR — the world’s first personal tablet computer. His firm, Dauphin, was contracted by the Pentagon and had a manufacturing agreement with IBM. And he was also involved in flower: he created one of the largest daylily growing operations in the US. He’s no dreamer, though: as he notes in this revealing and insightful book. He’s had his fair share of failures as well as successes and has learned from them all. The key to business success is not some wild stroke of luck, but focusing on four basics, according to Yong. Unlike many business guides that promise a whole new system and require a complex new lexicon to understand it, Yong’s four pillars make classic practical sense. First, leaders have to focus on themselves and make sure they’re up to the job. Then they have to make sure their ideas are sound and innovative enough to rise above the fray. Next comes the people — since no organization can be good without a core team as well as all employees who are productive, engaged, and aligned with business objectives. And finally, in a very clear case of last but not least, never forget the customers. No matter how amazing your business idea may be, no matter how sleek the new product or service, if the customers don’t want it, you’re sunk.” ……….. “This is a highly useful book. Its author has taken the time and energy to write out his business strategies not out of a need to gratify his own sense of importance, but as a way to help others understand how to handle the pressures and stresses of entrepreneurship. Why? For one simple reason: you can’t have a healthy economy if you don’t have healthy contenders, and if they don’t all seem to understand the keys behind staying alive, Yong is happy to help. The health of any economy depends on the health of its participants — and certainly, we’re going to see how that plays out in years to come, as DNotes and its compatriots reshape our concept and use of money. In keeping with DNotes’ commitment to digital currency for all, Improve Your Odds is a primer on smarter leadership for all. We need more books like this — or maybe we just need this one.” Read more: http://www.buybookspro.com/book-it/book-review-improve-your-odds-the-four-pillar-of-business-success-by-alan-yong/

Thanks so much for that info. One other question: why do you say that virtually no one will receive the first payout for CRISP? Is it because the actual swap happened after March 27th?
Also, where are the coins coming from to pay the CRISP rewards?
Because the period, from the first block, to the first CRISP cut off, all of the coins will have been moved from one address to another. Invalidating their ability to receive CRISP, as a result of the swap process. The blockchain, these are newly created coins and have now become part of the new coin distribution, just like the staking reward. Cool! So, the blockchain provides two different reward mechanisms. That makes sense. I see I'm going to have to update my thinking about DNotes to the 2.0 version I'll catch on, I'm sure. Thanks also for the explanation about why no rewards for the first CRISP period. It makes perfect sense. It looks like we all have until at least April 25th to get our coins situated where we want them to live for collecting those rewards. Wiser, I am impressed that you always asked great questions. We make great efforts to see to it that things are as simple as possible to the users. Despite that it is not always easy for everyone to understand. We will continue to push for improvement and appreciate your contribution to help us get better. |

argh. i hadnt been keeping up... so the delisting was news to me. and its one of those times that i have a low dnote count. been mining off/on for 3yrs. along with buying/selling ofc. dnotes has been one of my staples since i first got involved with altcoins and mining. Just reading thru some of the posts... and the new setup sounds interesting. Ill have to make sure I keep up now!  g Good to see you, and learn that you have been a DNotes supporter, giantkin. Thank you and hope that you would stock up on DNotes before long. We may have a few more weeks of quiet period as the exchanges switch over to DNotes 2.0. Unfortunately, they do not communicate like the way we would - making it a challenging guessing game. |

One of the more prominent New Zealand cryptocurrency pages featured a post about DNotes today. It was lengthy, and well written. I could tell that the page admin, Felix spent a bit of time reading through all of our material. See the link below for the full post, and I'd recommend following his page, there is some good content there. https://www.facebook.com/CryptoNewZealand/posts/226877917891630Thank you, Crypto New Zealand. Quite an amazing review with great insights of what DNotes is about. Don’t worry about why we are into so many things. It is not easy to connect all the dots. We recognize that possibility four years ago when we decided to map out a strategy of casting a very wide net that is difficult for others to replicate. That is our stategic pathway to mass adoption. Otherwise, we would be just another crypto. So, I personally take that as a compliment. DNotes is a big, bold vision of global scale: to create a truly inclusive supplemental currency that is accessible to everyone in the world. To realize that vision, we have worked relentlessly to build a trusted brand; invaluable in financial services and founded DNotes Global, Inc to help carry on its many vital missions. We have painstakingly built a sound foundation using the most strategic path to reach our vision of mass acceptance of DNotes in global commerce. If you can see what we see, I trust you will be convinced that this takes a very complex ecosystem well engineered and perfectly executed at the right time. We are mindful that this is a long journey towards the mass acceptance of DNotes. And we can use all the help that we can get. Your concluding paragraph is quite an inspiration. We will be greatly honored to help carry out the mission Satoshi started. We believe that mass adoption of digital cash is the future and worth fighting for. CNZ, “I do commend the DNotes team for refusing to accept the dominance of Bitcoin. The idea of sending, receiving, storing and investing electronic funds in a decentralised fashion is where it all began – with Satoshi no longer active, why shouldn’t we continue to try to perfect his vision? By taking a business approach to cryptocurrency, DNotes provides you with the chance to get in on the first company-backed coin, and this approach has certainly piqued my interest.” Thank you very much, Felix of CNZ. |

This series was done for Cryptocurrency Education Week: Risk Reduction Strategies in Cryptocurrency Investing: Part 1 – EducationSuccessful investing requires work, yet many people put no more effort into choosing a cryptocurrency than they do in picking a lottery ticket. They listen to what media correspondents have to say, many of whom are just discovering bitcoin themselves. They fall for “buy the top ten”, “the next bitcoin”, hot tips, buy recommendations from self-serving holders of questionable currencies and tokens, and all kinds of other illogical people and places that shouldn’t be recommending anything. Everyone should learn as much as they can about any potential investment, and that is especially true with cryptocurrencies and initial-coin-offerings (ICOs). They are new and creating a lot of wealth, which makes them a perfect hideout for fraudsters taking advantage of the lack of knowledge people have about them. Even if you know nothing about technology, you can still learn about cryptocurrency as an investment and how to protect yourself. Continue reading at https://dnotesedu.com/2018/04/risk-reduction-strategies-in-cryptocurrency-investing-part-1-education/Another excellent article Chase! Agreed. Another fantastic article. Very proud of the DNotesEDU team for providing excellent materials in support of Cryptocurrency Education Week. On a different front, I am reaching out to the business world with four more confirmed radio interviews and an article on "Why Negotiations Fail" for Smart Manager Magazine, a top print Indian business publication. Yes, we are casting a very wide net. It takes time and great efforts. But that is to right path to mass adoption of DNotes in global commerce. |

Why ist the Circulating Supply now 153.642.074 ?
20 mill Coins more?
Hi Mbaker, 20,000,000 DNotes are allocated to DNotes Global, Inc for Development & Growth Fund. This has been the plan since the company was announced in 2016. What's in it for DNotes holders? In an industry first, every DNotes stakeholder will have a small ownership stake in the company. Currently 25% (I believe) of the company is owned by DNotes the currency. What good for DNotes Global is good for DNotes the currency, and vice versa! Thank you, Chase. Very well explained. The cross-ownership of DNotes owning 25% of DNotes Global, Inc. (before dilution) and DNotes Global owning 20 million DNotes is an industry first. It will be one of our significant contributors to the success of both entities. This is a winning strategy few can replicate. |

Allow me to share my take and move on. DNotes is one of the most fair and respectful communities in our industry. It is not unreasonable for me the add that our core team has been practically selfless. No one has to do anything, yet what we have accomplished is immense. That is what drives me. I am very proud to be a part of this team. Without them we would be just one among 5,000 + coins with a wish to get rich soon. But then, you should be your own judge whether DNotes is right for you.
On the lighter note, I am happy to confirm that DNotes 2.0 lunch is a success, with no major issues reported. A big thank you to our core team working alongside with our partner Geneca. We did it and positioned to do a lot more in the years ahead.
From the outside, this is a “quite period” for us until April 16, 2018 when the soft deadline kicks in – when the old DNotes will not be minable in exchange for DNotes 2.0.
If you have not done so, we encourage you to make arrangement to swap your old DNotes for DNotes 2.0 and start earning CRISP reward for balance held in your account every thirty days. You can still swap your DNotes after the soft deadline beyond April 16, 2018. The verification process will be significantly more complex and will take a lot longer. On October 1, 2018, 75% of any unclaimed DNotes will be used as part of the guarantee funds held in DNotesVault. We will continue to process and verify requests for coin swap until further notice.
Rest assured that getting DNotes listed on other exchanges is now one of our highest priorities. I am personally working on it with the full support of our team. From my vantage point, the future is looking very bright for DNotes. This is our turn to shine. It pays to be patience over the long term.
Agreed, the launch has gone very well, and Geneca has been amazing to work with. We will be working on some final touches to get the DNotesVault back up and make it easier for future swaps. Any new DNotes mined after April 16th, 2018 will not be eligible for swap to DNotes 2.0. All DNotes mined prior to April 16th will still be eligible for the swap, just not newly mined DNotes after the date. Great comments from everyone. I think it's very important that people ask questions and share thoughts for us to consider -- we're the development side of a currency ecosystem that we all jointly own. If somebody has a question, then it is likely that many more people who just read this forum will have the same question, and here is a great place for us to answer them. The beautiful thing about this community is that we are all working towards mutual goals -- one of the key concepts covered in Alan's book. From the beginning DNotes have laid out a strategic path, and been very open about the route that we are taking. This has always been to do the 'right things, the right way, at the right time', and revolves around the concept of building a tower one block at a time. For example, if you imagined each of the following as a sequential block used for construction: Research, then become experts, release a currency, operate that currency and begin building an ecosystem around it, ensure that we do our absolute best to meet every target we set ourselves to build a consistent and verifiable track record that proves that we are trustworthy (a crucial component of business success and investor trust -- & often achieved by keeping our projects private until we are near release to minimise the chances of delays), study our rivals intensely as though we are building a dossier on a rival NFL team to see what is working and what is not so that all of our commitments and development decisions are consistent with what we know works, [we are doing everything from here concurrently] and then build on those findings, begin marketing drive & investor networking, begin to rapidly scale the size of our operation and business ecosystem, get listed on exchanges, continue our commitment to becoming at least as good as the best of the competition, and then surpass them by making the best use of our unique value proposition. All of this done with the view to build fundamental value into the DNotes currency over time through business equity support to protect investor interests, which will also allow us to capture as many users as possible with our drive to make that currency useful by building what is necessary to make DNotes useable in the real world. It all makes for a carefully crafted plan, that responds to the most urgent industry needs and logical steps for progression, wrapped in the knowledge that execution is paramount. A good idea is worth very little by itself, barely even a cup of coffee shouted while it's shared. What matters, is the flawless execution of that idea. Sometimes flawless execution means waiting longer to let the industry mature so you have knowledge of what is working, or waiting until all your resources are available and in place to make successful execution a reality. I don't want to restart a conversation about the exchange issue, but my view would be that by the aforementioned brick example, that we are currently building trust and reputation in the cryptosphere and also the traditional investor community who will separate with hard earned money for DNotes Global to operate with, and provide an attractive return on investment. The last four years we have built a reputation and community that we are proud of. We're just like an NFL team -- we have studied the strategies that work and those that do not, researched the other team, studied the rules of the game, engaged with the governing bodies who enable / facilitate the game, looked for the best players who want to play with the vision that we think the game is best played so that we can consistently win matches against any opposition, and started working with promoters to build our teams fan base. What we are still looking for, are larger stadiums to play the game in, so that we can host more fans! As our fan base grows, so too will the stream of requests to large stadium owners to host them! Fans are incredibly important in sport, and they are too in our community! Fans support us, even if they can't make the game. Sometimes, however, fans may want to become cheerleaders, and be more vocal about their support and bring more attention to each game played beyond just what happens on the field. The cheerleaders do what they can to excite the fans and support the team, while the players on the field do what they've set out to do. I think that should summarise how we view our work breakdown. Incredibly to date, the DNotes development team have all worked on a volunteer basis, contributing up to just over four years of full time effort (plus weekends), and/or invested their own money to meet all of the necessary expenses getting the project to where it is. Just imagine what will be possible with outside money? And where our investors are rewarded with real equity in DNotes' future! Thanks Tim, That is excellent. Where can we find 12 more "TeeGees"? Lol. I can tell he read my book. Well, he assisted in writing one of the chapters (Ch.15) - The DNotes Story. My book "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Business Success" is one of our strategic building blocks that Tim mentioned. It is also one of our pathways to the corporate world and beginning to get us a lot of exposure. I was just interviewed by At Home Show / National Radio Show / Canada yesterday. Over the next few weeks I have been booked for 3 interviews - This Week In America ( 180 markets nationally in the US), School for Startups Radio Network (Nationally Syndicated with 7 markets), and Eryic Dye - who interviewed me before. Additionally, I have multiple requests to write articles for some significant publications. I am keeping myself extremely busy and hope that you can see how the book can open doors and contribute to DNotes success in gaining mass adoption. I have donated the book to DNotes Global, Inc. with 100% royalty free contract.

I will say that all the people involved in this project are professional with their answers and how they handle themselves. It is my belief that DNotes has a long life ahead of it even with the industry struggling to stay afloat. When the masses adopt DNotes it will be because of the hard work completed during the 4 years of building that took place behind the scenes. I meant no disrespect in the subject that I brought forward. Whenever there is a vote needed I will be there to cast mine. All of the products that have come out in the last couple of weeks are above anything else in the industry and will catapult DNotes past the rest. I can't believe all of this started with me saying that Cryptopia has some struggles and that new and bigger markets (exchanges) will be needed to push us over the edge. All of the exchanges have their quirks but Cryptopia is on the low end of the totem pole when big money coins are involved. And trust me when I say that DNotes is a BIG money coin in the making. I said it long ago in this forum that DNotes was my only coin and that still holds true. I believe in you guys and was only giving my opinion. My efforts were taken advantage of elsewhere in the sales world. Don't let me waste anymore of your time talking about this. There are bigger things that need to be handled. Good luck!!!!!
It's a great conversation to be had. Appreciate all of your support! No problem with me, The Chezzz. We are proud to have supporters like you. We all must be able to bring up issues. That's what makes a strong team. |

Allow me to share my take and move on. DNotes is one of the most fair and respectful communities in our industry. It is not unreasonable for me the add that our core team has been practically selfless. No one has to do anything, yet what we have accomplished is immense. That is what drives me. I am very proud to be a part of this team. Without them we would be just one among 5,000 + coins with a wish to get rich soon. But then, you should be your own judge whether DNotes is right for you.
On the lighter note, I am happy to confirm that DNotes 2.0 lunch is a success, with no major issues reported. A big thank you to our core team working alongside with our partner Geneca. We did it and positioned to do a lot more in the years ahead.
From the outside, this is a “quite period” for us until April 16, 2018 when the soft deadline kicks in – when the old DNotes will not be minable in exchange for DNotes 2.0.
If you have not done so, we encourage you to make arrangement to swap your old DNotes for DNotes 2.0 and start earning CRISP reward for balance held in your account every thirty days. You can still swap your DNotes after the soft deadline beyond April 16, 2018. The verification process will be significantly more complex and will take a lot longer. On October 1, 2018, 75% of any unclaimed DNotes will be used as part of the guarantee funds held in DNotesVault. We will continue to process and verify requests for coin swap until further notice.
Rest assured that getting DNotes listed on other exchanges is now one of our highest priorities. I am personally working on it with the full support of our team. From my vantage point, the future is looking very bright for DNotes. This is our turn to shine. It pays to be patience over the long term.

Why Coin Age Matters in Cryptocurrency When most people hear about the 1600 cryptocurrencies and ICO tokens listed on CoinMarketCap, they assume that number includes every one ever launched. This assumption may come after they scroll down to the end and notice hundreds that have no marketcap and/or no volume. The bottom of the list is often referred to the graveyard – a place where abandoned coins go to die. The real graveyard however, is wherever they go after they are removed from the listing. At least while they are on CoinMarketcap, for better or (usually) worse, there is a marker of their demise. CoinMarketCap routinely removes coins from their site that are no longer active or have no exchange to trade on. A list of 1250+ cryptocurrencies launched to date was compiled by CryptoDatabase in March 2015, and posted on Bitcointalk [1]. However, according to this Historical Snapshot on CoinMarketcap, they had only 525 currencies listed on March 22, 2015. Delisted coins could account for some of this difference, but there are likely other factors such as those that never met the criteria to get listed in the first place. A more current complete listing is provided by Coinranking[2], showing there has been at least 3,073 coins launched. The last 32 pages are dead coins with a marketcap of $0. It still doesn’t include every coin that has been released or at least attempted to do so. There is a long list of shady projects where the funds raised disappeared early enough that they may not be listed anywhere. Bitcointalk is littered with eager-beaver attempts to start a new cryptocurrency that never make it past a few posts or pages. Adding to the list, are many of the close to 2100 Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) listed on TokenData[3] that don’t appear on Coinranking and/or CoinMarketcap. The TokenData list includes 500 that are planned or currently underway, which wouldn’t show up on listings that use exchange data. Regardless of their status, the outlook is grim for any chance of long term success. A study done by Bitcoin.com released in February 2018, revealed that 46% of ICOs launched in 2017 had already failed.[4] A recent study completed by Satis Group that uses quality as the metric to classify ICOs, concluded that 81% were scams, 6% had failed, and 5% were dead.[5] What is the point of this trip down memory lane?The information above reveals just how short the lifespan can be of most cryptocurrencies and ICOs. It’s difficult to tell exactly how many of these projects have been started, but the number is looking like it may be closer to 5,000. While some of them never made it to an exchange or caused financial losses, they wasted valuable time that could have been spent working on something worthwhile. New coins and tokens carry an extreme amount of risk, and it seems as though it is only the gamblers, speculators, and fraudsters that pitch them, pump them, and dump them, that are enjoying any of the rewards. Reputation must be earned, and it takes time to prove yourself. As an investor, it would be wise to check out the cryptocurrencies that have been around for a few years and find out why they’re still alive when so many others have failed. Is it the team? If a project is going to reach mainstream adoption, it needs a mature dedicated team that is in it for the long haul. Jumping from one flashy-tech project to the next, shows neither dedication or maturity. Measuring the quality of the team isn’t about how many cryptocurrencies or tokens they have worked on, it’s about the one they made work. What have they actually accomplished? Forget the promises – does the list of all development to date, products, revenue generating properties, partnerships, and anything else that gives the coin or token real value, justify the marketcap? Those that have a huge marketcap have obviously been heavily promoted and made all their news public, or could simply be caught up in speculative hype – but what about the others? If they are actively working and have accomplishments to show for it, but don’t have the massive marketcap, why? Is it a good project that is different from the others, and the herd doesn’t get it yet? Are they avoiding the hype? Is it the original team that still believes in what they are working on, and are committed to make it work? Is this where you find value?
