There's nothing that this community loves more than linked press releases. Why? Because they morph into quasi-organic news, whereupon those, too, are linked and sometimes quoted in full.

Meanwhile, Google can't find anything for the following address: 140 Beverly Dr #200, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Except ...

Meanwhile, your charter in Delaware - 6128624 - is NOT in good standing.

How's WeTrust doing? https://tokenhub.com/ico/33 (I'll leave it to you brainiacs to uncover nuggets simply by changing the number in the URL)

https://tokenhub.com/database

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1763204.0

The good news is if BCAP is successful, Team Argon will be batting 500. 


FWIW, you gotta love Argon's numbering system: 

29: https://tokenhub.com/ico/29 ~ Blockchain Capital ~ April 10 - May 10
31: https://tokenhub.com/ico/31 ~ Humaniq ~ April 6 - April 27
32: https://tokenhub.com/ico/32 ~ Melonport ~ February 15 - March 16
33: https://tokenhub.com/ico/33 ~ WeTrust ~ March 2 - April 14
34: https://tokenhub.com/ico/34 ~ TaaS ~ March 27 - April 27
35: https://tokenhub.com/ico/35 ~ Embermine ~ April 13 - May 13

Meanwhile, at the ICO Ranch ...

Read the whitepaper and saw the website .
Looks bullshit to me the project is not feasible , only big dreams lol .

Offcourse the Humaniq ICO is a scam.

If you think you can make money on poor Africans as an ICO investor, you are a fool.

If you think that's funny, wait till Marina I & II uncover who was responsible for the mass exodus at TBF a couple years back. 

Well fuck me in the ass! Lock the thread, for it's over. Argon has already declared BCAP a success: https://tokenhub.com/database

[tommy163]

Why you have only hired 15 people for signature bounty and only pay 15 ppl? You should set a BCAP token bounty for more promoters for your marketing.

You have to be worth $1M or $200k/yr to invest? Why even post here?

This limitation is valid for US accredited investors only. For international investors it does not apply.

Looking at the calibre of investors on the list, is there any tokens left for mainstreet investors. I don't have $50,000 now to pre-order my own stake in the project

"I know I can do better that!"

As far as that list of notables depicted on Argon's PR investing in BCAP goes, it's the same list of names from 2015: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5481bc79e4b01c4bf3ceed80/t/56b134658259b50be1892a26/1454453865100/Blockchain+Capital+Presentation+-+Nov+2015.pdf

What I see is a fund created to raise money for a fund, in turn raise money for a fund to raise money for a fund, so to eventually fund their own pet projects, and when the money runs out, created another fund to raise money for a fund ............................................................. and when that money runs out, ....................

The only thing quasi-different this time is that there's a third party in between consisting of rogue Russians sans a track record, and the common dude who has money to burn but no time to do due diligence gets his dick hard when he sees the list of names backing the endeavor, albeit it's a stale list. Soon, ALL those on the list will be at Necker Island laughing their fuckin asses off with Team Argon crying because they weren't invited.

[4theppl]

Why is nobody thanking Gleb?
I'll start: Thanks Gleb for doing due diligence.

Funny how the list of ICO's you mentioned (Humaniq, Wetrust, Taas) all rang big bells for me, more intiution than anything.
You know how often you'll have these companies with VC investors grow really big and the investors want to cash in? They'll go public and dump on the public.

So for this ICO (BCAP) the first question that popped into my mind was:
Let's imagine I have a FUND which invests into different startups and I want to either cash out or just get rid of my bad positions. Wouldn't it be great if I could just find a group of random anon people on the internet eager to buy the stuff I want to dump? If only there was a thing like an ICO.. oh wait there is!
So my question is how can we be sure this isn't what's going on here? Please clarify.

Also as per list of questions to ask an ICO:
1) Is there a prototype or code?
No because there is no software to release
2) Where do the funds collected in the ICO go?
No answer yet
3) As for people involved, advisors don't count, yet I see a big list of names that "liked"  the project, or advisors
4) are they building a community around their idea?
No
5) Is this idea something that could not be done without blockchain tech?
No , it already exists, ETF's, stocks, hedge funds, etc.

They ONLY part that requires a blockchain here is the ICO itself. Funny.

I can't imagine why people are still replying they want to be part of this ICO. DOn't you guys read the thread?

Kindly refer to the Offering Memorandum for those questions. Thank you for your interest.

Of course this is very different ICO to what people are used to but it does not mean it is not an attractive project. You have seen the credentials of the investment team and those joining as investors / advisors. Ther rest is of course  up to you to decide.

All, please see below the press-release and blog post about industry leaders joining the ICO as investors and advisors:

Of course there are, and you are very welcome to invest on the day - the book opens on April 10th at 6am PDT.

If this is Blockchain Capital Fund III ...what happened to I and II???

[Gleb Gamow]

If this is Blockchain Capital Fund III ...what happened to I and II???

Please try to keep up with my posts.  

Here's II -> https://www.whoisraisingmoney.com/crypto-currency-partners-ii-lp

With that clue, can you guess what "I" was called?

Here's some question. If this fund is so great, then why are peon investors needed? Why don't all them Daddy Warbucks buy in 100% locking out the peons? Why doesn't Richard Branson buy all the shares, locking out all the Daddy Warbucks? Why is this thread even created? Why do we need The Argon Group made up of mostly Russians acting as a third-party thingy, especially with their bad track record? Make that a forth-party thingy cuz it's their subsidiary that's not in good standing that's overseeing the ICO.

Tim Draper — Founder at Draper Associates/DFJ/Draper University
Erik Voorhees — CEO & Founder at ShapeShift.io
Matt Roszak — Co-Founder & Chairman of Bloq
Anthony Di lorio — CEO & Founder at Jaxx and Decentral, Founder at Ethereum
Vinny Lingham — Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Civic
Andrew Keys — Head of Global Business Development at ConsenSys
Gadi Ruschin — CEO of Wave
Wayne Vaughn — CEO of Tierion
Nick Sullivan —CEO and Founder of ChangeTip
Joey Krug — Co-Founder of Augur
Jeremy Gardner — Co-Founder of Augur
Will O’Brien — Co-Founder of BitGo and COO of Keen
Craig Sellars — Co-Founder of Tether and Omni
Stan Miroshnik — Co-Founder & CEO of The Argon Group
Steve Beauregard — Founder & CEO of GoCoin, CRO of Bloq
Simon Dixon — CEO & Co-Founder BnkToTheFuture.com
Galia Benartzi — Bancor, Founder/CEO Particle Code, VP Founders Fund
Eyal Herzog — CEO, Bancor, Founder/CEO Mytopia
Brendan Blumer — Block.one

If not Richard Branson, Matt Roszak  could get his bud, SilkRoadFlip, to buy all the shares.

After Divine filed for bankruptcy in 2003, Roszak helped Filipowski start
Silkroad, where Roszak owned a significant interest and was its chief financial officer.

Any question thus far?

Almost all of these individuals are still onboard, they advise Blockchain Capital directly though and you can verify it here: http://blockchain.capital/team/. I hope you do not have any issues with that.

Of course Argon Group is on bitcointalk forum, many of our ICO investors are here and we need to provide them with the correct information on the ICO, otherwise unfortunately lots of irrelevant but most importantly untruthful information tends to appear.

Also, if you saw the original press release you could find out from there that BC's third fund is raised via a combination of traditional LP route and token offering. Token offering is only up to $10m and the whole fund is $50m. That could probably answer questions you raised earlier.

All the best


Luckily Argon Group team members' experience in Venture Capital does not necessarily matter for this offering - it is Blockchain Capital's partners that does, and they have amazing credentials in the space.

If this is Blockchain Capital Fund III ...what happened to I and II???

Both existing funds are still active. In the Offering Memorandum available at tokenhub.com (you will need to register and pass necessary verification in order to view) you will be able to get the details on their performance to date.

Hi Marina,

On page 10 of the "Offering Memorandum" I can read that combined assets of both previous funds are aprox. $30 million:

• https://tokenhub.com/static/images/memorandum/memorandum-v13-16.png

But, on the other hand, on the SEC Forms it says that you only sold $1,1 million + $4 million of both funds:

• https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1626791/000162679114000001/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml
• https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1626813/000162681314000001/xslFormDX01/primary_doc.xml

How is this possible?

Thanks!
