All, just a quick update on Geneca. Things are progressing nicely, even faster than expected. Their team is amazing, quickly grasping why we are going this specific direction and and thinking about how we can progress forward with the same vision for DNotes. The development team is very knowledgeable and able to quickly communicate methodically to help us solve problems on the fly. Very impressed.
Glad to hear you are so confident in the decision to go with Geneca, I know the screening process to find the right firm was extensive to say the least. Keep up the good work everyone, looking forward to seeing the final product! We are delighted with the progress. There is a lot of mutual respect for both teams committed to contribute their highest professional standards. Those are the hallmarks of successful teams that out-perform others every time. |

I really question the whole "World Leaders" part of that statement. They may be seen as "leaders" but I see most of these people as "chair warmers". Regulation is only good if you truly understand what you are regulating. I don't see that from these people at all, I see fear and that is dangerous. We as a group, as crypto users and leaders, need to constantly push our message on why crypto is not a threat to these people if they embrace it. On the other hand, if they fight it, it will only go underground and become a weapon, and an unstoppable one at that. It may be hard to believe that very often people expressing a strong opinion against digital currency don't understand the very basic concept of DLT (Distributed Ledger Technology) operating in a peer-to-peer setup with no single point of failure. It cannot be controlled or destroyed - hence unstoppable. The fascinating thing about this situation is that if they try and make it hardy to access and use, they will bias usage towards those who have no other alternative, which brings in a larger proportion of criminal usage. Then as a result, a large proportion of tools and services supporting its use will also be targeting the most profitable customer base, criminals. So attempting to fight cryptocurrency adoption increases the problem they are trying to avoid. Accepting that a minority of people will use cryptocurrency for criminal activity, in exactly the same way that cash is used, would enable them to focus on how to encourage adoption with systems that favour those who are open about their transactions, such as those that accept cryptocurrency payments in exchange for legitimate goods and services. And there are already strong drivers for the market to develop identity management systems based on blockchain technology. As this becomes available, people are likely to want to bind their identity to blockchain transactions for a variety of benefits. If you can prove it was you who paid for an item that becomes faulty, there's your receipt. If you must have purchased a product before you review it, there's your authentication. If your coffee shop introduces a loyalty card and includes previous purchases by cryptocurrency, there's your reward card with digital holes already punched in it. And if the majority of transactions using cryptocurrency voluntarily link their identities, the remaining transactions are easier to identify, and harder to conceal when they are then used in conjunction with patterns that already have identities. So fostering an environment where cryptocurrency usage for legal products and services is favoured, results in less services focused on meeting criminal requirements, easier detection of suspicious transactions, and a greater ability to connect illegal activities with identifiable transactions. Once this is made clear to our powerful leaders, and they continue on their anti-cryptocurrency path, it will become clear that reducing criminal activity is their justification, not their aim. That makes me wonder... have any industry representatives attempted to reach out to the Trump Administration to educate the key lawmakers and enforcers on the nuts and bolts of the technology? If they're getting their news from the MSM like most people, their perception would be rather skewed. I've thought of reaching out myself, but I think it would make more sense to do it as a concerted effort among various industry leaders. Not sure if I would be considered an industry leader LOL. Digital Currency Council has been engaging our lawmakers on those issues for sometime. I am sure more need to be done. http://www.digitalcurrencycouncil.com/ |

Tim, I fear as much. Painting the industry with a broad brush will be a big mistake – damaging the industry while creating more problems. Instead they should identify the specific problems of concern and focus their resources in solving those problems. They must be mindful that digital currency is the future of money. Coupled with the underpinning blockchain technologies we are already witnessing massive changes and transformations not seen before. Those nations that seek to understand the technologies and create an environment that fosters the participation of honest promoters and investors, with practical regulations and guidelines, will gain a significant economic advantage over those that choose to fight it. “develop identity management systems based on blockchain technology.” This is already happening. Think of it this way – your phone is a unique piece of you but must match up with other data stored in the blockchain and elsewhere. The goal is to have less than one in a million chance of an error, once your unique identity is confirmed. I believe that we can get there. |

Does anyone happen to know the opposite of “Pump and Dump? Is Bash and FUD close enough? That is what is happening to Bitcoin at Davos World Economic Forum currently taking place in Switzerland. It is unfortunate that some of the world’s most respected business and political leaders must listen to this kind of trash. And, at the end of the conference, some of them are going home to help regulate an emerging industry that will be the greatest technology revolution since the Internet. Sad. We need to spread the truth. We support reasonable regulations that protect investors from fraud and deceptive misrepresentations. Ironically, we are already hurting many new investors with this kind trash talk. Bitcoin is getting bashed at Davos but the crypto world is fighting back• While the potential of blockchain, the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies, was praised, bitcoin got slammed. • Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller told CNBC ahead of Davos that it may be around for 100 years, though it's more likely to collapse. • Bitcoin's reputation as a currency that is primarily used for illicit activities still lingered too.

Although, regulatory enforcement in our industry, because of the out of control ICOs craze, is becoming more apparent, I am encouraged to notice that both the SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and the CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo appeared to support a more measured approach and questioned, “whether our historic approach to the regulation of currency transactions is appropriate for the cryptocurrency markets.” They went on to acknowledge that, ”these markets are new, evolving and international. As such they require us to be nimble and forward-looking; coordinated with our state, federal and international colleagues; and engaged with important stakeholders, including Congress.” As a result, they concluded that, “We would support policy efforts to revisit these frameworks and ensure they are effective and efficient for the digital era,” That is quite refreshing. DNotes’ position is to respect and follow the regulations already on the books. We can play a constructive role by helping to educate law makers and regulators in shaping the existing legal frameworks to be more in line and adaptable to the new decentralized world of digital currency. Read more: CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo & SEC Chairman Jay Clayton Join in OpED on CryptocurrencyJanuary 25, 2018 @ 3:49 pm By JD Alois In another obvious sign that the federal government is ramping up enforcement actions against initial coin offerings that do not file for an appropriate securities exemption or commit other illegal acts such as fraud, CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo and SEC Chairman Jay Clayton jointly published an Op-Ed in WSJ.com affirming their intent to “enforce rules that foster innovation while promoting market integrity and confidence. Clayton and Giancarlo stated; “In recent months, we have seen a wide range of market participants, including retail investors, seeking to invest in DLT initiatives, including through cryptocurrencies and so-called ICOs—initial coin offerings. Experience tells us that while some market participants may make fortunes, the risks to all investors are high. Caution is merited.” The two regulators said both agencies, along with other state, federal and criminal authorities will continue to deter and prosecute fraud and abuse. Clayton and Giancarlo added that many of the internet-based cryptocurrency trading platforms have registered as payment services and are not subject to direct oversight by the SEC or the CFTC. ” These markets are new, evolving and international. As such they require us to be nimble and forward-looking; coordinated with our state, federal and international colleagues; and engaged with important stakeholders, including Congress.” Both the SEC and the CFTC have created new units within their respective agencies to target cryptocurrencies and initial coin offerings. Recent actions have focused on blatant acts of fraud but there is growing concern within the ICO industry that other individuals, such as promoters and exchanges, could get embroiled in enforcement or civil actions. There are already multiple class action law suits which have been filed against issuers who sold “unregistered securities.” Last week, Chair Clayton delivered a pointed rebuke to ICO enablers, including attorneys that are providing legal advice to issuers. It is very important to note that both Clayton and Giancarlo appear to be willing to embrace change and Fintech innovation in general. The two officials questioned “whether our historic approach to the regulation of currency transactions is appropriate for the cryptocurrency markets.” “We would support policy efforts to revisit these frameworks and ensure they are effective and efficient for the digital era,” stated Clayton and Giancarlo.

I could be wrong, but this may be the first article under Joe's name that I've seen yet! A very solid effort. Keep it up. I've been writing the investor pitch deck video script this week, and preparing the shots, shooting locations etc. Flying back to Australia for it early tomorrow morning. You are correct. This is Joe's first article. He is a thought leader and has a lot to share. Our challenge is not having the time to work on our ever growing wish list. Only things that are considered "a good fit" and ranked high on our priority list get our serious attention , these days. Unfortunately, that is the sign of rapid growth early stage start-ups until we are elevated to the next level and have the resources to afford all the needed help. I just emailed you my additions to the pitch deck you are working on. Have a great trip, Tim. Thanks. |

Chapter 5 add on concept. Beyond the Big Picture: Strategic Details Should Be Dynamic The video series is amazing in that it drills down into the finer details. This one I believe is important on many levels. You develop your goals and strategy, in terms of where you are going. You develop your company culture and mantra, get everyone moving towards those same goals. You drill down into the details of how you are going to get there and it starts to become very dynamic. Being dynamic, open to ideas, and adapting to the current environment is extremely beneficial to reaching your goals. It is easy to confuse, you don't change your direction, or where you are going, but even with the best planning you are going to be wrong and even have to chose the path as you go sometimes. "The further you drill, the more dynamic your strategy will need to be" These strategies apply to all facets of life. Know when to be flexible, and know how to deal with challenges as they are presented. Thank you, Joe. I am glad that you summed it up so well. Some may wonder what has the book got to do with DNotes or even DNotes Global, Inc. A lot. The book, in fact, is a vital part of our business plan. It helps to define our vision - the final destination with all the accomplishments and by-products we all work so hard to accomplish. Ideally, that would be the day when DNotes is conveniently accessible to everyone, as the trusted digital currency, and accepted by the masses in global commerce. The book helps to define our culture, our trusted brand, how we treat our customers, stakeholders, shareholders, partners, and employees. It reminds us that no single person can accomplish much alone. But when like-minded common people, like all of us, can join force to build a single unified culture in the pursuit of common goals, that are mutually beneficial to all, there will be nothing beyond our reach. The book helps us to define one optimum path and guides us all to stay on course. That is how we will make our vision a reality. Meanwhile, we are on many missions (ecosystems, business units, NextGen VC and more) - each loaded with different goals and objectives. I hope that many of you will make an effort to read my book and watch my videos. Be generous and share what you learned. Enjoy. |

Amazing work, Joe. I trust that many people in our industry can benefit from your deep technical knowledge of this rapidly expanding industry. |

Our Op-Ed response to ASB bank has been picked up by The National Business Review, one of New Zealand's largest news sources that is also likely the largest in New Zealand that targets business professionals. Unfortunately, it is behind a paywall, but it's a fair compromise for a much wider exposure to business professionals in the industry we were targeting in the article. That is fantastic, Tim and Daniel. Congratulations! |

Did this Nobel Prize award-winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz, really knew what he was talking about? Interesting economic theory – “ It (Bitcoin) exists because of its abuses.” Really? I simply cannot follow his logic. I got it. He has a different agenda - “ By regulating the abuses you are going to relate it out of existence.” The economist, who received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, also told Bloomberg that he wanted Bitcoin to be regulated.
He said: “My feeling is that you regulate it so you cannot engage in money laundering.There would be no demand for bitcoin. By regulating the abuses you are going to relate it out of existence. It exists because of its abuses.”Bitcoin price WARNING: Crackdown on crypto is COMING warns Nobel Prize winning economistBITCOIN’S price could fall amid warnings from a Nobel Prize award-winning economist claiming a crackdown is coming for cryptocurrencies. By DARREN HUNT PUBLISHED: 21:26, Tue, Jan 23, 2018 | UPDATED: 21:30, Tue, Jan 23, 2018 Bitcoin has taken a hit over the past couple of weeks along with Ripple and etherum. Fears over government crackdowns on cryptocurrencies have caused the price of Bitcoin to fluctuate. Economist Joseph Stiglitz warned bitcoin “must” be regulated to stop money laundering. He said: “We have a good medium of exchange, called the dollar, we can trade in that. Why do people want a bitcoin? For secrecy. “Why need it? We have a perfectly good currency. We are moving towards an electronic payments mechanism. I would like us to move more towards an electronic payments mechanism but you don’t need a bitcoin for that.” The economist, who received the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, also told Bloomberg that he wanted Bitcoin to be regulated. He said: “My feeling is that you regulate it so you cannot engage in money laundering. “There would be no demand for bitcoin. By regulating the abuses you are going to relate it out of existence. “It exists because of its abuses. Bitcoin saw its highest value before Christmas when it reached the monumental price of just under $20,000.

Thanks, Daniel. Another great article. Here is my favorite: "While the Bloomberg writers are correct about bitcoin being a peer-to-peer digital currency (well done guys), the fact that it is a liability of nobody is precisely what gives it value. The fact that it cannot be inflated or controlled by a central authority and is answerable to nobody and beholden to nobody is precisely what gives it value."
Daniel has been putting out a few great articles lately. There are several more in the works that should release soon too! I'm looking forward to reading them. Thanks, Tim. Daniel must have been putting in huge efforts to write so many substantive and hard-hitting articles. We appreciate that very much. |

Daniel has way more patience with this stuff than I do. I would have just slapped a FAKE NEWS label on it and moved on! One point that Daniel didn't cover extensively is the issue of anonymity. It's actually surprisingly easy to track crypto transactions across the block chain if you know what you're looking for. They leave more of a "paper trail" than cold hard cash. You have to work a lot harder to anonymize your transactions. I read somewhere that lots of people know Satoshi Nakamoto's original Bitcoin addresses, so that if he tried to actually spend a significant amount of his BTC, there would be thousands of people talking about it. How's that for annonymous? In fact, I believe the US government would love to have us report to them all our personal addresses so they know exactly how much we hold (and if we're paying our fair share of taxes or not). I'm frankly surprised the IRS isn't jumping all over this as a new way to audit taxpayers without having to work so hard! I thought that Daniel respectfully argued his case and mindful that at DCEBrief we want to maintain an objective balance of facts and editorial opinion. |

I have nothing but good things to say about this exchange so far. I made a deposit error, and their support response time was around 15 minutes. While we were still on Poloniex, a good response time for support was a week. This exchange looks like it will be beginner friendly, and if it is anything like their pools will be very stable. Their listing criteria is also much more extensive than other exchanges, so you can expect there is a lower likelihood of cryptocurrencies they choose to list being involved in anything illegal or immoral.
At Nlexch, we look for coins that have high community demand, innovations to digital currency technology, or a contribution to science or humanity. Given the demand for currency launches, we limit ourselves to only a handful a week.Launching is free and at our discretion.
Note that we cannot list currencies where its primary purpose is to support illegal gambling, illegal drug sales, or any other activity that is illegal in our jurisdiction. We also cannot list currencies that would be construed as a security such as digital currencies that promise/market profits or represent shares of a company. At our discretion, we may require an additional compliance fee for listing. These happen in the extraordinary cases where your coin's use case is extremely complex and requires significant research by our staff to determine suitability.
To help speed up the process of deploying your coin, we require the following information submitted through our support (info@nlexch.com)
-Coin Name
-Description of your coin - Why does it exist and what makes it unique? What new technology or business concept are you bringing to the blockchain?
-Coin trading symbol - The ticker needs to be 3-5 letters and cannot contain any symbols or numbers. Please verify that your preferred symbol is not already in use on our exchange or any other. There are a number of services that track coin prices that require the symbols to be unique. -Even if the symbol is not on our exchange anymore, we won't reuse it. Consider your symbol carefully because we will not change it once it is set.
-A logo for your coin - png format with a transparent background. The logo should be square with dimensions of 1000x1000 pixels with no white space on its border and no taglines. It should only be a logo and expect it to show up in multiple spots in out websites.
-Launch Date (past or future)
-Github Link - We only accept source code. We will not run a binary that you provide us.
-Did you raise money/bitcoin to launch your coin? (i.e. a CFC/ICO)
-Did you have a premine? How much is it? Is it escrowed?
-What is the max money supply for your coin?
-Exchanges you are currently on
-Official blockchain explorer
-What is your TxFee for a transaction
-Any social media information such as your official website, twitter account, facebook page, subreddit, etc. Thank you amarian12! For those that may not recall, amarian12 and e-pool were among the first to support DNotes, we appreciate your support and wish you all the best in your new exchange endeavour. That is very nice of you to have included DNotes, amarian12. We appreciate that very much. Let us know if there is anything that we can be helpful. Meanwhile, we wish you every success. |

That was a part of the discussion I had at Geneca a few days ago. When our full and totally integrated systems is in place, it will enable a lot of things on our wish list to happen seamlessly in a trusted environment. The end users do not need to know the complexities of our back-end infrastructure, the philosophies, algorithm, and support systems behind it. What matters is -"it is simple, convenient, secured, and I trust the the people who build and operate the system". That is one of the biggest problems we are attempting to solve. Yes, it will take us a few years and some massive investment.
This! No matter how involved or complicated the back end might be, you guys have to make it look easy! The end user does not care about all the back end details. If you need someone to alpha or beta test any of your systems, I'd be happy to do it. I will tell you straight out if it's too complicated. I'm sure you'll do great, though. The fact that you're partnering with a real software development company speaks volumes. Thank you for going to that length! You are welcome, Wiser. Thank you for your offer. I am sure that your experience will lead to invaluable feedback representing the typical consumers. |

Cryptocurrencies are clearly still seen as a challenge by regulatory bodies to allow proper integration into the financial system, with some clear problems that need to be addressed. Tomorrow we are hoping to have an article released on www.dcebrief.com that will run through the game theory nash equilibrium for why governments and other traditional financial institutions should work with cryptocurrency integration, rather than against it. We are aiming for an approximate ~10pm Sunday CST release time, all things going to plan. There has got to be some formula that reasonably accurately predicts what the cryptocurrency market will do next. Why do I think that? Because I personally am getting better and better at "calling" it for my own trades based on some sort of gut feeling. While I'd love to give my psychic powers all the credit (LOL), I'm sure that what's feeding into my gut feeling ability to predict when is a good time for me to make a trade is based on real data that my brain is analyzing in the background (without me really knowing how) that could also be analyzed by a good computer program. Lucky you, I wish aliens would beam this kind of information down to me! They will. You just have to stay up till late at night, every night - doing you homework. Lol! |

Wow, you guys put in some serious work covering many different issues. Highly recommended reading. It deserves my second reading when I have more time. Below are some direct quotes from the article. Executive BriefOne of the main sources of frustration for those of us who are blockchain and cryptocurrency enthusiasts is the degree to which big companies and large financial institutions still don’t understand our industry. Earlier this week, one of New Zealand’s largest banks ASB released a blog post by their General Manager of Global Markets, Nigel Annett. We believe that post offers tremendous insight into how financial institutions and other major organizations are thinking about cryptocurrency and blockchain adoption. ……… Quote from Nigel Annett: “ Ironically, banking’s profitability is both a strength and a weakness in responding to the threat of exponential technology. Strong profitability signals there is no burning platform to change with urgency. Strong profitability also means shareholders expect stable future returns. But disruptive competitors don’t think this way. They are happy to sacrifice short-term profitability for longer-term growth that drives greater consumer surpluses. The challenge for banks is striking the right balance to maintain and enhance their position in the customer value chain.” Quote From Timothy Goggin and Daniel Gross:Nigel’s understanding of the upcoming effect of cryptocurrencies and blockchain on traditional systems is a lot better than most major institutions that we have seen so far, though we do draw attention to some substantial points of disagreement. Traditional banking and central government institutions can benefit greatly and profitably from cryptocurrencies with the methods we have outlined above, and significant negative consequences could be incurred should they be ignored. Cryptocurrencies are presenting the world with the same choice offered by the internet two decades ago—get on board or get run over. Cryptocurrencies are getting bigger by the day and they are not going to go away, no matter what anyone or any institution says. |

Quote from Brandon today:
"Same here Alan's article re-inspired me. I have a few things on the go and am traveling today, but will also be working on an article for DCEBrief that I've mapped out. If you need another set of eyes to edit/proofread, feel free to email it to me."
Thank you, Brandon. We appreciate your significant contributions to DNotes' success, including an immensely valuable component - DNotesEDU. It greatly expands our mission to help others through education with objective, much needed, and unbiased information. Just imagine what else you could do when DNotes becomes a big success. That is why we want to only focus on a few things at a time to ensure that they become truly successful. Once accomplished, we can leverage our success to do more great things. That is how we can help change the world a little. As I have said many times, we do it "brick by brick or block by block" until we have a solid foundation. And, of course, they are all strategically linked.
That was a part of the discussion I had at Geneca a few days ago.

I understand Alan, it's easy to get spread too thin when there are so many possibilities on the table. But unfortunately when that route is taken, as opposed to focusing on one task at a time, nothing usually gets completed to a satisfactory degree. This is speaking from my personal experience. I want to assure everyone that DNotesEDU is my top priority, bar none. Excellent, Brandon. We appreciate the great work you guys are doing at DNotesEDU. I strongly encourage anyone interested in helping DNotesEDU to reach out to Brandon. Thank you for the support Alan, unfortunately we are not looking for new volunteers at this time. If we think someone will be a valuable asset to our long term goals, we will reach out to them personally. Looking forward to the relaunch of DNotesEDU, the preview you sent over is excellent! As I understand, the primary mission is financial education and literacy and how it relates to digital currency, do you plan to expand into other aspects of education related to digital currency or keep it more focused? I can tell you there will definitely be more digital currency educational material, but I have been sworn to secrecy on the rest. lol One of Alan's posts mentioned a 20 hour workday... I understand completely!! Have a great weekend everyone!  You guys are doing a fantastic job. I am on my way to the farm where we have our recording studio. I am committed to finishing the remaining video series for the book project - 70 + videos. That project will be 100% completed by the end of January. That itself is quite an accomplishment. My thanks to all of you who have given me the encouragement, inspiration, and support to make it possible. I trust that it will go a long way to help entrepreneurs and startups to gain better success in business. It is all based on the philosophy of inclusiveness and succeeding together. That is what DNotes is about. Good luck and thanks. I have been enjoying watching the videos you have made, which are a different and more personal way to absorb the information contained in your book. When this is completed, it will support so much more of what we are doing, and signal the true expertise behind what DNotes Global will be accomplishing in the years to come. Thanks, Tim. I am glad that you like the videos. We have been making huge efforts to expand the guiding principles established in the book to make them even more understandable as they relate to entrepreneurs' everyday challenges in managing their business. If we can find the right strategic partners, the next step is to start promoting the book soon. Meanwhile, there are considerations to produce additional training materials that could be used broadly in corporate America training programs. That, again, is part of our overall strategy to gain mass acceptance of DNotes. |
