There are plenty of good developers outside San Francisco, the real advantage of crypto is that the projects are geographically agnostic. San Fran users buy tokens in Czech projects even when angel investors would by invest. This gives them the chance to start something and then build on it with further investment. There's no need for them.to move to San Fran blockchain is widely available throughout the globe.


I think that you have been reading some old literature about start-ups in which 2 guys in a garage change the world with the mere power of their programming abilities, etc...

While that is not impossible it, nowadays you need plenty of cash to grow or someone else will be first to market. The two guys in a garage is possible when those two guys are the two top MIT graduates working in world-class projects and even then they would eventually need dough.

There are plenty of good developers outside San Francisco, the real advantage of crypto is that the projects are geographically agnostic.

There is a good reason why there are world-class hubs for start-ups, and that is mostly because investors are already there and donīt like flying to Zcech Republic and because startups multiply their value when they are in close contact with other startups that create synergies. Just try to figure why many countries that have tried to replicate Silicon Valley have failed. It is cultural and it cannot be improvised.

I think you are on the belief that you can form an international team that have never met in person, do some signature campaign here and there , write a white paper and get a few millions. It does not work like that at all. You have to meet in person with high worth individuals and funds to get real advice and real funds, attend many events and possible get backing from some of the main people in the blockchain world. Silly investors are all burned by now, or should be.

Friends and family rounds are not rounds. Your auntie Ilga is not giving you 5k because your business idea makes any sense, sheīs doing it because she is your auntie Ilga. They would put the money without reading a figure from your plan.


- the CEO can always move to a lower cost of living country thus lowering his expenses
- You are dreaming.

I think that ICO should be doing rounds yes, and in fact the companies behind ICO do it with shares (tokens are just an extra to boost community and hype).

Guys, we are all so poor that our dreams donīt extend beyond "a few millions". There are things out there that are really cool and cost much more. Not that I know of many, but if you want to f*king cry go here

See... confortable middle class now looks terribly boring, donīt you think?

Donīt forget that you need to get there

Please help me understand the thoughts of people who actually want (for example) $20 Billion Dollars.

I'd like to accelerate the spread of knowledge.

With $20,000,000,000 I could open a "Flying Spaghetti" Monster temple in every city and  beside every large church, and educate people about brainwashing while feeding them free pasta - the body of my lord.

I agree with this but I think the round sizes need to go down. 20k hard cap round sizes should be viable in crypto, even if others are not.

20k wonīt buy you two months of a couple of developers in San Francisco plus some CEO expenses. Any project with less than 200k funding is just delusional to generate software, not to mention if the ICO is about "real world" products.

Ripple ain't a exceptional cryptocoin to accumulate because its based in having dubious news in a way the investors don't participate in the feasible value.
86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can market go down now? on: June 13, 2018, 09:25:30 PM
I have engaged the cryptocurrencies market at least for 10 months and my reason suggests that pump and dumps often are connected to ethereum cashing initiated by ICOs with need fiat expenses
87  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waves Sell Or Hodl? on: June 13, 2018, 09:23:09 PM
Waves remains good-for-nothing excepting being used for problematic ICOs. A exhaustive remodelling of the wallets might be demanded.

Indeed the typical startup was my inspiration, although they probably raise too much in early rounds. I'd love to see some founders and friends and family crypto rounds (€20k) initially because not everyone can afford to raise that themselves.

I don't think not getting angel funding should be considered bad by default because the major issue is how localised the funding is for these. ICO backers don't seem too worried about having people within half an hours drive. There is no reason to suggest that the next big startup will come from silicon valley. However for some reason crypto people don't seem to be doing angel investing, they would be perfect for it.

Those looking for funding today have to follow process of Seed (A), Development (B) and sometimes an acceleration (C) rounds. With ICO is different but some companies are thinking doing ICO rounds like with venture funding. There are already articles on where is this going: https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/31/ico-rounds-are-coming/
89  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Question for the crypto rich 're angel investing. on: June 13, 2018, 12:02:57 PM
It is not true that "crypto-rich" donīt do angel investing, you can take a look at the advisers on many ICOs who are also investors in the early stages. In fact many of the ICOs have a previous investment to create the company and the tokens are just an add-on to get further funding and capitalise on their existing products and services.

The tokens have many advantages over shares, the biggest is that they go on exchange really soon and you donīt have to wait if need to sell.

It is awesome having aspirations for next years a long as people realize that learning may become basic to gain wealth.
91  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to get fast rich in crypto world. on: June 12, 2018, 10:46:20 PM
Lost of people carry many aims connected with dough like having a nice car  and imaginably cryptocurrencies can become a fast road into this desires.
92  Other / Serious discussion / Adoption of crypto-payments in buses on: June 11, 2018, 07:25:58 PM
I just came across this news about a Brazilian company that now accepts 3 cryptocurrencies (BTC, BCH and LTC) to book their tickets. The payment method is quite simple, just with a code in a screen, no complex technologies nor terminals. It is unclear how they handle network congestion and how many confirmations are required.

This is the source

I also seem to recall that there is an airport in Australia accepting crypto and at least one airline, but I donīt remember which one.

If anyone from Brazil could comment on this news it would be nice.

several of the best options are at the moment happening in the industry of logistics. Look take a look into these for proper campaigns.
94  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it risky to buy not top 100 crypto currencies? on: June 11, 2018, 12:26:19 PM
I think that people that invest in cryptos consider risk is rather high the first months but shifts towards more acceptable weeks later.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What are your plans with your Altcoin? on: June 11, 2018, 12:25:55 PM
Most investors are on the idea a reduced position on unstable situations except  for a straightforward opening comes out, such as an ICO.
96  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO VS TRADING on: June 10, 2018, 05:13:38 PM
If  people are thinking about trading on cryptomarkets as income source , I would advise that the plan is very poor nowadays.
97  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to choose bounty? on: June 10, 2018, 05:11:28 PM
The majority of bouty hunters doing youtube bounties oftenly would concede that numberless times abuse supporters once the revenues are finalised.
98  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Why EOS is actually killing the market on: June 06, 2018, 09:29:09 PM
I recently read a report by a trustable source the indicates how EOS, after sucking value from Ethereum during a year.

And now theyīve started the swoop, I think is one of the worst ones Iīve seen. People are really confused about it and I wouldnīt be surprised if people lose their stuff not knowing where to store their new EOS coins.
99  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: EOS Swap Doubt on: June 06, 2018, 07:23:49 PM
I have stored EOS on an exchange, and they take care of the swap. Recently I have seen some of the EOS Airdrops, and I think the exchange is not going to provide these. So if I move my EOS to MEW after swap do I get any EOS Airdrop?


After the swap EOS will run on its own chain, that means that you wonīt be able to store it in you ethereum wallet. You need an EOS account.

A word of warning: https://www.reddit.com/r/eos/comments/87pc8o/eos_token_swap/?st=ji3hyvw1&sh=883edbab Read it carefully or you risk having to follow a complex and risky process.

Also, good information on this one about how careful you had to be. In my view, this way of swapping is not serious and EOS should have thought of a better way.

BTW, 50% on EOS is in 10 accounts. Donīt bother to vote.
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 500$ investment on altcoin on: June 06, 2018, 07:06:31 PM
I think, the aim must be intelligently investing 300 $ across no less than five cryptocurrencies touching  three positions or markets.
