Investing in Bitcoin and other digital currencies is certainly not for the faint of heart and no one will deny that it is speculative. Speculators will practically pay any price if they believe that they can turn around and sell them at higher prices. “ … a Speculative Asset with “No Intrinsic Value” may sound debatable but tough to defend. Some may be creating more fundamental value than others but most may not bother. Over the longer-term it pays to be able to differentiate. At DNotes we have been devoting a lot of resources to ensure that DNotes will have significant “Intrinsic Value” one day. Bitcoin a Speculative Asset with “No Intrinsic Value”, Says Business Insider FounderSamburaj Das on 30/05/2017 As bitcoin captures the world’s attention while soaring to unprecedented heights, the cryptocurrency has been labelled as an asset primed for a bubble, with no intrinsic value. Henry Blodget is the founder, CEO and editor of prominent financial news publication Business Insider stated: “ Look, this is a perfect asset for a speculative bubble…There is a finite supply. There is no intrinsic value. If anybody is persuading you that it should somehow be related to some GDP or gold…put down the Kool-Aid and back away.” Source: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/bitcoin-speculative-asset-no-intrinsic-value-says-business-insider-founder/He's right about bitcoin's intrinsic value, of course - though he could substitute virtually any means of exchange or asset in place of "bitcoin" and be equally correct. Fortunately, Dnotes' unique value proposition isn't based on speculation from a trading standpoint or on some noble hope that the marketplace will figure out how to use it to make a worthwhile contribution to mankind's progress. After all, hope is not a strategy. DNotes is unique in that the team that's brought it to life remains committed to building a dynamic ecosystem capable of bridging the gap between cutting-edge decentralized digital technology and the clunkier centralized financial systems that continue to leave billions of the world's citizens underserved or altogether ignored. I continue to believe that this digital currency is one that can help to transform the world and create solutions that help to empower ordinary citizens in almost every nation on the planet. It's that important, and the video series will hopefully help to flesh that out in a way that makes sense to not only crypto-enthusiasts but crypto-neophytes who may be trying to understand why any of this matters. With that said, I'd offer my own humble opinion about some content that I'd like to see explored in greater depth in a future video: paint a picture of what the world could look like for average consumers, businesses, and those who are underserved by the banking world once the DNotes strategy is implemented on a broader scale. Technical analysis and feature explanations are important for early and future stakeholders, but less crypto-savvy individuals will need the dots connected for them before they understand how it can eventually benefit them in their everyday lives.* Hope might not be a strategy, but the DNotes strategic vision is one that can inspire hope. *I apologize in advance if that sort of video was already produced and I somehow missed the link. Been suffering from a touch of bronchitis, so it's entirely possible that it escaped my notice. Absolutely, a glimpse into the future of DNotes is an excellent idea! Agree, we will have to make it understandable for everyone who may be interested. As Tim mentioned, it will be great if we can incorporate both elements for the crypto savvy as well as breaking it down. It does pose a bit of a challenge to make it and engage everyone. |

DNotes Path to Mass Adoption - Ease of Use Tim Goggin from the DNotes team describes the DNotes ecosystem and the Cornerstones of Mass Adoption: -Equitable Distribution. -Secure Storage / Consumer Protection -Global Payment Network -Ease of Use https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkf1174xltQ&feature=youtu.beThe next in the series should be available in a few days. If you have any specific video requests or ideas for videos, please feel free to post them here. Whether it is related to DNotes vision, strategy, technology, or even general digital currency, your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Here are a couple to get started with: -DCEBrief and its relationship to DNotes and DNotes Global Inc. -Reserve banking, and how it compares to DNotes / Bitcoin -Hot Wallets vs Cold Storage, and the safety of your coins. Here's a few ideas for the list: - Why there needs to be a business/gov/bank friendly cryptocurrency that plays by the rules. - Why government issued digital currencies are not investments, and how they differ from DNotes. - Too many cryptocurrency / blockchain projects are targeting a niche market or building around one service. How is DNotes different and what does that mean for the investor? Excellent ideas Chase! Thank you. |

Hi alfaalfa, it is great to have you here and interested in DNotes! Great questions - I will try to give you a quick answer until someone else can fill in the blanks. This is the verifiable public information available: DNotes Global, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 1, 2016, #6005128. It is a 01025 Stock Corporation ("C" Corporation). It is currently being built and great care is being taken to ensure it is done right, so there is a lot of legal work going on (the Law firm of Huck Bouma has been retained). The 75% ownership will be held by the large investors who put up the big $$$$ to help fund this massive project. Depending on how it is structured, we may never know the identities of who has invested in it, if that information is not required to be made public (think of the 'silent partner' or ICO). The 25% ownership held by DNotes currency will be subject to dilution. Future plans may require the company to go public with a stock offering in order to fund global growth. These investors will be expecting their money to increase the value of DNotes Global, not the currency (at least not directly). If the value of the company increases, the value of the currency also increases, and even though the % ownership may have decreased through dilution, the actual value of your stake shouldn't. It is a win/win situation and the first of its kind in cryptocurrency. I hope this helps.  This thing is about to become a VC-backed rocket ship. Fascinating. And awesome. It will take a while for enough people to gain a good understanding that DNotes is much more than just another digital currency. We are building a tightly integrated financial and business enterprise system designed to take full advantage of the future of money as well as the under-pining blockchain technology. A lot of efforts are being made to produce a series of videos that will make it easier to gain a better understand of DNotes and the team behind it. Hopefully, the first one will be posted later this week. We should have the first video in the series available today. May need some community feedback on what the video branding should look like. Leaning towards something along the lines of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLMOvfHV54g&feature=youtu.be |

Very interesting how about price? Price will not fall if Dnotes2.0 become a POS coin? I think POS coin is easy to staking and getting?
Welcome diamondblend23, and thank you for the questions. POS is a different means of distributing the reward, all you need is your coins and computer to participate in the reward system and support the network. In POW miners have to spend money on advanced mining equipment and electricity to support the network and participate meaningfully in the reward structure, therefore often have a higher need to liquidate their holdings. On top of staking, we are also offering a blockchain based CRISP reward, which will earn a target of 2% annually, distributed monthly, for accounts that have coins for more than 30 days. This will further enhance the benefit of saving your DNotes for long term. However, the price is still based on the market forces of supply and demand, we recommend that everyone only invest what they can afford to lose. Our vision is to build fundamental value for DNotes through the for profit company, DNotes Global Inc. and its infrastructure and services that we are building and working on. DNotes the currency owns up to 25% of DNotes Global Inc. (subject to dilution) which can be used in a number of ways to grow and support DNotes. "I think POS coin is easy to staking and getting?"Absolutely, our focus is to make it as easy as possible for everyone to participate staking as well as our CRISP program. |

Congrats to the contest winner!
Not sure if this question has been answered or asked here but when will the DNotes that are locked in a retirement fund be ready to withdraw? Will we get an email when it is ready? I always forget to check in here as I'm still not used to DNotes being on here lol but I'll be sure to check in more often. Thanks in advance.
Hi vella85, when DNotes upgrades to DNotes 2.0 (POS), your retirement account will be unlocked without penalty and with all accrued interest. At which point you can withdraw your DNotes as normal. Also, we intend to notify everyone with an account at the DNotesVault of the change and when it will happen via email. |

Our team has been very busy the last few days doing video recording. We plan to be posting a number of casual "chat-talk" videos to further explain the DNotes' vision and how we have been positioning DNotes to accomplish various critical missions. Please let us know if you like to assist us with suggestions, comments, or any other manner that could contribute to the success of this video campaign project. Thank you.
DNotes is more than just another altcoin. We are building a complete ecosystem fully integrated with the most essential infrastructures in support of DNotes - the digital currency. They are integral parts of our strategic plans to build a trusted digital currency with stability and dependable store of value; subsequently becoming worthy of being a supplemental currency to global fiat currencies.
What is the technology stack that you are using? Think my tech might be helpful here. I use it with Camtasia and a good quality mic/webcam to make videos all the time. And now that you don't need a 3D camera, we've got a pure software solution now. Happy to get the team hooked up with it, if it makes sense. Hey MiningHabit. We are using the adobe family software. That could certainly be interesting. Ill have to check it out and see how it could work with our videos. Alan mentioned you sent him some samples, so ill get him to forward them over to. |

DNotes 2.0 Signature Contest - updateOur very own mrbum805 is the next lucky winner! Congratulations to mrbum805, the 5th winner of 500 DNotes! Message sent. Thankyou very much Chase and the whole team! I received the Dnotes and am  !!! This is a great promotion and I hope more join in and try to WIN some FREE DNOTES!! By the way i'm starting to finally convince family/friends to put a little in Dnotes after trying to convince them for 2 years. I think there starting to understand the bigger picture. I really cant wait for the exchange because that will make it way easier for people that don't know how to use cryptocurrency. Which then allows them to also have more trust in it knowing they can do it themselves without my help. Plus then I can just tell everyone to go straight to a site and buy them and not say its a little complicated but duable, which normally turns them off. Oh, one observation I made and maybe I just don't know where to do it. But it would be really nice if Dnotes wallet address names had the option be re-named if possible. That's just something I recently was trying to figure out. Thanks guys, Glad to see your all your hard work catching lots of attention now! Your doing great! Congrats mrbum805! Well deserved, and then some. Thank you for participating in the contest. Many are starting to realize the potential of DNotes, and the more successful we become the more people will want to get involved. You are absolutely correct on the current complexity and hurdles of being able to purchase. Ease of use, seamless integration, and even more advantageous than traditional financial systems are our goals. That is a good idea, were you thinking more along the lines of using a pseudonym or vanity address? Thanks for your continued support mrbum805! |
