Thank you, Daniel, for another thought provoking article. We have never experienced any technology revolution that is such far-reaching and disruptive as Bitcoin and the underpinning blockchain technologies. Admittedly, it is also significantly more complex for most people to understand without devoting a great deal of time to research and think through it.

Any country that can appreciate the immense potential and proceed to create the most favorable regulatory environment to help the industry to flourish will quickly enjoy great economic growth. This is a generational opportunity. For that reason, I hope that we “don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Fantastic! Another thought provoking article Daniel. I can imagine the benefits to the countries that adopt fair rules and regulations that have a minimal impact on the growth of the industry, in terms of being a technological leader attracting skill and industry, jobs and wealth creation, and the impact on the economy.

Question on DNotes vault update: Do you consider two factor authentication via SMS? I guess that there are a lot of people who can not (are not able to) use QR codes.

Hi flashmoniltd, yes it is a possibility for the next DNotesVault update for users that may not be able to use the app. Users may be able to use it still on desktop as well: https://www.maketecheasier.com/google-authenticator-for-desktop/

Dnotes,

With BTC dropping fast, what kind of uplifting advice can you give the new people (doing this for the first time) wanting to hurry and get out? I know you are putting together training for the stay at home parents (Cryptomoms) who want to invest in crypto and all i'm hearing is I will never do that because of what we are seeing today. It could rebound and we all know this, but is something like this part of your training in the new Dnotes 2.0?

Hi The Chezzz, that is a great question. We are involved because we believe fundamentally that cryptocurrency is an amazing and world changing revolution that will have a deep impact on peoples lives. Without that philosophical buy-in, cryptocurrency is not the right investment vehicle for you (with some exceptions), you would simply be chasing the ups and down and much more prone to making big mistakes, at least from my view point. Following that same line of thinking, you would need that same buy-in for the way DNotes is approaching cryptocurrency.

How about this: You haven't lost anything until you sell. Really. What goes down comes back up in this market, only a matter of time. This dip has happened every January since at least 2014. Lots of forces making it seem worse this year, it's the "FFF" factor; "Futures, FUD  & Fools" Hang in there...

Great advice, RJF. You have been around in our industry for a long time and have literally seen it all.

That said, I have these to add:

A major price correction after a huge run up is not a surprise. I am, however, very concern about the cumulative effect of many self-inflicted wounds caused by bad actors, as well as the reckless disregard of sound investment practices, and the recognition of existing legal and regulatory frameworks. The ICO gone wild craze will cost the industry dearly, as reflected in the increasing number of law enforcement actions. There is also the fear that Tether (USDT) may not have lived up to its claim of a 1:1 reserve.

There is no good advice for those who are already 100% invested. This industry has been behaving very differently, as I  mentioned in a recent article – with a casino gambling mentality:  https://dcebrief.com/bursting-bubbles-with-falling-knives-have-we-created-a-global-casino/

If I must guess, I would bet that we have yet to see the bottom. But who knows for sure.

For those who are just getting started, it is important to do your home. Traditional VCs place high value on the team and their track records that are proven and verifiable. Those are good guiding principles.

DNotes will be celebrating its 4th anniversary on February 18th. We have been totally committed to our vision of building a trusted digital currency accessible to everyone worldwide. It has been a very consistent message of inclusiveness for the benefits of everyone as we strive to gain mass acceptance of DNotes in global commerce.

It is our belief that to be the innovator and technology leader we must keep the needs of our stakeholders, consumers, and society in mind. We must be purposeful in our missions utilizing our expanding ecosystems to educate the general population, create innovative products and services, and respect existing laws that are applicable to our industry.

With that in mind, the current industry turmoil could benefit DNotes over the long-term.

DNotes have followed the correct approach in focusing on the desires and needs of its users. We are developing a lot of interesting and useful features that do not require advanced technical knowledge of the underlying mechanisms by which they work -- simplicity is a crucial component to successful and secure integration of cryptocurrency into the financial world.

The mini-IPO is an exciting development for us. I have been in Australia this last week, and have filmed shots among a few locations for our introductory video for the mini-IPO. I am also expecting to receive the final version of our introductory video to DNotes Global (animated video that I previously posted a brief extract from), by the end of this week. I'm looking very forward to sharing these with the community, and the production of many more.

The volatility in the market lately will be tough to weather, but we must keep in mind that many of us have seen this before, and last year was an extremely successful one and market growth is not necessarily a linear progression upwards. I've seen far too many people posting on social media groups that I'm a part of selling their crypto positions into fiat because their portfolio has halved -- this is the absolute worst way that people can take part in crypto. Firstly, this approach makes people sell low, and buy high -- selling the moment there appears to be market panic after significant drops in the price, and secondly, short-term trading isn't conducive to long-term realisations of success in any project, as they are likely to only hold positions in any cryptocurrency for a very short period of time. This is an attitude that speaks to the fact that the trader does not think that cryptocurrency is not the future of money, but a tool to buy in and out of in order to collect higher positions of fiat money. By focusing on fundamentals: like team, vision, and history, there is much more room for an investor to see cryptocurrency come to light as the future of money that can be used in everyday living situations, and they are much more likely to catch the benefits from its rise.

Hi Daniel, I am glad that you can pay us a visit. Hope you can join us often. I always enjoyed reading your articles. Thank you for your great contributions.

There is one subject matter that I had wanted to write about but don’t have the time to think through it and do the necessary research to support my case. I think you could do a better job than I would.

In July 2015, I wrote about the near collapse of Greece financial system:
“Small business owners unable to pay suppliers risk losing their business. Importers dependent on letter of credit facilities face an immediate halt to trading. Just like its citizens, the Greek government must also pay its bills. Its inability to do so could mean the reintroduction of a much-devalued currency like the drachma, and there has been talk of creating their own digital currency.”
https://www.advfn.com/news_Grexit-Digital-Currency-Long-Term-Solution-Co-Fou_67594907.html

Well, somehow, they survived but continue to struggle. But what if a few countries ended up in total collapse of their financial systems simultaneously – a sudden halt to all economic activities. How invaluable would it be to have a truly global stable digital currency in preventing a sudden halt in global commerce? I am sure you can expand on that.

One day DNotes can indeed be that digital currency. In the mean, we must continue to do the right things and build a solid foundation.

That really is a fantastic topic however answering it is slightly different to what people think it is. What you really need to understand in such scenarios is banking risks in the case of sovereign defaults which is a topic almost everyone gets incorrect. Including the big boys, I will do it perhaps next week. It's a fascinating topic, very technical however.

Dnotes,

With BTC dropping fast, what kind of uplifting advice can you give the new people (doing this for the first time) wanting to hurry and get out? I know you are putting together training for the stay at home parents (Cryptomoms) who want to invest in crypto and all i'm hearing is I will never do that because of what we are seeing today. It could rebound and we all know this, but is something like this part of your training in the new Dnotes 2.0?

Hey Chezzz.  I know most of the DNotes team and community has given their advice.  If I could give my 2 cents to you and other new investors too.  I've been involved in the crypto industry since 2013-2014(ish).  It has been a roller coaster ride most of the time.  It's kind of the nature of this untested, new technology market.  This pull back isn't the first, and wont be the last.  I've seen gains happen just as fast as the drops.  To be sure, investing in this is not for the feint of heart.  I've had many stomach aches along the way..lol.  

I hope you've done a little research before hand, to know the technology you were investing in.  If so, you should feel confident with your decision that crypto can truly be revolutionary.  Without a full understanding of the power of blockchain or DLT, it might leave you left wondering.  May I suggest you look up some "TED Talk" blockchain videos on Youtube. The many different guest discuss how this technology can change and solve problems of the world.  Even if you have a general idea, do some deeper research.  Get to know all the in's and out's.  I think with a greater understanding, it'll put your mind at ease.

Then go one step further...go through all the DNotes forum posts and DNotes Youtube video's.  Really understand what DNotes is building.  I think you will find there's no other project out there better positioned right now than DNotes.  This should give you comfort as well.

Hopefully you didn't go all in with your investment.  With dollars on the side, you should have comfort knowing you can still pay bills, live life normally, and maybe have a little left to average in with at these low prices.  Also, have a longer term investment vision of 2+ years.  Don't have a day trader mentality.  Very, very few people can trade this market and become millionaires, like some like to portray.  This market is very unpredictable, and probably has eaten up those traders.  Holding in a great project like DNotes, is the best way, IMO, for newcomers and veteran's alike to be successful in the long run.

As someone mentioned before, you only lose money if you sell.  Buying high and selling low is the worst decision, IMO.  I personally have taken the mentality that I would rather just go down with the ship, than sell low, only to have the market rebound and then you're really kicking yourself.  This keeps me sleeping well at night.

IMO, there is a lot of unfounded FUD out there right now.  A lot of main stream news that is blown way out of proportion, or out right lies.  (This seems to be M.O. anymore)  Some of the bad news is true, but with it, hopefully we'll see a lot of these scam "platforms", crap coins and ICO's get thrown out with the trash.  This industry has been in need of a clean up, and will only strengthen it in the long run.  Not to mention, January typically tends to be a bad time for crypto's.  (I wish I was better at history myself).  All the fundamentals are the same as they were a month or two ago, if not better.  It was only around Dec. 10th when we crossed the same overall market cap we're at right now.

If anything, just step away from coinmarketcap for a while.  Stop watching the daily or hourly price.  Let things settle down.  (btw...i find www.livecoinwatch.com a better website)  Like it's been said before, only you know what's best for you and your situation.  For me, I haven't flinched (much) because I believe DNotes, and crypto in general has a huge future ahead.  I'm confident and excited for the rest of 2018 and beyond.  I'm glad you found DNotes, and hope you'll stay around.

Hey DNotes,

I wanted to bring to your attention couple projects that I think could be helpful in the future.

You might already know about this one -- Polymath Network. I'm not sure what your exact plans are for the upcoming IPO, but maybe you could use their technology to create security tokens. They've been blowing up recently and the publicity for DNotes wouldn't hurt either.

Also,

Cardstack. This one is still very young, but I think what they're doing goes along very well with DNotes' approach of making the crypto accessible and easy to understand.

Hope this helps.

Looking forward to the launch.

Excellent, I can't wait to read that. I can imagine that it will be very technical with many interrelated components affecting one another and spread very quickly. In such scenarios, it would become a global financial crisis we have never seen before. Our attempt to mitigate a financial crisis of such magnitude using currently available tools as "back-stop" will not likely to be sufficient or effective.

There is a great argument to be made that a trusted global digital currency, sufficiently stable and well integrated with its banking and global payment network systems will become immensely valuable to society in the event of such a financial crisis. This is within the scope of DNotes long-term vision and a vital part of our strategic positioning. We just have to supplement fiat currency, not replace it. And we could be the banks best friends.

Hey IvaneCibe, thank you very much. I will check them out, when I have a little more time. We always appreciate ideas and feedback from our community.

One of NextGen VC roles could very well be to help some of the great projects in our industry the are stumbling for various reasons.

One small correction to avoid confusion. Our funding program is a reg. A+ Mini-IPO and not the traditional "IPO". That could come a few years later as DNotes Global expands. It is our plan to allocate as much as 50% of the proceeds for NextGen VC to invest in highly selected companies and projects.

Edited - Updated: It appears that Polymath Network's funding was limited to accredited investors. It is not an "ICO". Since they already have a huge network they have a very good chance of succeeding.

In my opinion, their vision of providing a legal platform for others to offer the sale of securities that are in compliance with the SEC rules as registered or exempt securities are not achievable, unless those offerings are limited to accredited investors. For example with Reg D 506 (c) filing, there is no upper limit to the amount of money that can be raised from accredited investors worldwide. They can use a token for the offering and only make them available to retail investors after being listed on an exchange.

DNotes is taking a different approach. We will be using Reg. D 506 (c) to raise up to $2.5 million to fund our A+ Mini-IPO Title IV Tire 2 to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide. We will be using DNotes Global, Inc. common stock shares instead of issuing another coin. Our approach is significantly more complex, costly, and time consuming. It has already been keeping me very busy. In view of our future plans, I have no doubt that this is the right approach.

I was not able to track down "Cardstack" based on the limited time I had. Can you post a link. Thanks.

Dnotes Team,

Thank you for all for your words of encouragement!!! Dnotes was brought to my attention by my brother and we are very smart with our money and have spread it around just like you suggested in many types of investments throughout my 50 years of life. That's right 50 years young, anyway I was excited with what he showed me and have done some homework and will look at all that you have suggested. Your hard work and commitment to the Dnotes company is what drew me in. I am in for the long run and will continue to spread the word about what you have accomplished. Many people in my family have now opened a vault and have a little nest egg for the future. Thank you for everything and I will take your advise and "Ride the Wave!!!!" Something my brother has been telling me since he introduced Dnotes and the Cryptocurrency world to me.
