When I posted my OpEd in DCEBrief, on Jan. 17, 2018 “Bursting Bubbles with Falling Knives! Have we created a Global Casino?” https://dcebrief.com/bursting-bubbles-with-falling-knives-have-we-created-a-global-casino/

I had a sneaky suspicion that we could be in for a rough ride. I could not envision that such a breakthrough technology like blockchain and digital currency could be so easily hijacked by so many bad actors and never-ending stream of speculators.

And so, I wrote, “To be fair, there’s reason to believe that some segments within the industry may collapse. Not in the way that Mt. Gox fell from its lofty heights, mind you -  but that won’t make the collapse any easier to stomach. The problem is that the current environment does seem at times like nothing more than a giant casino. That’s a danger that we need to recognize and move to counter if digital currency is to ever realize its true potential for creating positive change in the world.”

In a highly speculative environment, it is important to maintain a balance portfolio that is over weighted with quality long term investments. Speculative situations should be kept to a minimum. Do your homework – know the project and the team behind it. Don’t just count on good luck to get rich quick. “Good luck” is not dependable.

Focus on a few that will survive the test of time and still significantly undervalued. You need to be your own judge, as I do not make recommendations.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Good news in our industry is hard to come by these days. Enjoy!

S. Korean Finance Minister: Blockchain Can ‘Revolutionize The World’
By  Molly Jane Zuckerman

While on trip to China for economic talks, South Korea’s Finance Minister Kim Dong-yeon spoke positively about the potential for Blockchain, saying that “Blockchain technology can disrupt and revolutionize the world,” according to the South Korean-based Yonhap News Agency.
During a meeting with Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People’s Bank of China, Yeon also spoke of a need for more cooperation with China on Blockchain technology.

According to another Korean news site Chosun, Yeon reiterated that the South Korean Finance Ministry has no plans to ban or restrict cryptocurrencies within the country, adding:

“Blockchain technology is an important technological breakthrough to fuel the fourth industrial revolution and as such, the ministry will take a cautious approach in regulating the cryptocurrency market. For negative use cases of cryptocurrencies, the ministry will impose strict regulations.”

Also, submitted to Udemy. The goal here is to get some exposure to the course as well as DNotes. If you know of any other places the video courses should be listed, let us know.

Major U.S. Banks to Block Credit Card Use for Crypto Purchases

https://dcebrief.com/major-u-s-banks-to-block-credit-card-use-for-crypto-purchases/

So, just when did banks acquire  the right to tell us where and how to spend our money? I can buy all manor of illegal things with a credit card but I can't buy legal Bitcoin? This is unbelievable. I can make a cash advance that I can't pay back but I can't buy Bitcoin? Smaller insults have started wars and revolutions.

PS: I don't use credit cards to buy crypto and neither should you but, I'M not saying you can't, just that you shouldn't...

Agreed, it's not advisable to use credit to purchase crypto. However, if you are eligible for credit, and they have qualified you as able to pay back the amount you are borrowing, they should not be allowed to pick and chose which way you can spend your credit. You can gamble with your credit card, you can buy gift cards with your credit card, you can buy cigarettes and alcohol, but you can't buy bitcoin? Something just doesn't add up.

Agreed, it's not advisable to use credit to purchase crypto. However, if you are eligible for credit, and they have qualified you as able to pay back the amount you are borrowing, they should not be allowed to pick and chose which way you can spend your credit. You can gamble with your credit card, you can buy gift cards with your credit card, you can buy cigarettes and alcohol, but you can't buy bitcoin? Something just doesn't add up.

Those are good points. On one hand, I guess the bank that issues the credit can be selective about what the credit will be used for. If you apply for a loan at a bank they are going to want to know what you intend to do with the money, especially if it is a business loan. But when you apply for a credit card, you never are asked what you will spend it for. The impression is that you can spend it on whatever you want, and they issue you the credit based strictly on their perception of your ability to pay it back. So, in that case, it seems overreaching to tell me I can't use my credit card to buy cryptocurrency. If I've paid back my balances in the past, that should be enough for them to believe I'll make good on the next balance no matter what I bought. It's almost like they believe that if I frivolously buy some Bitcoin with my card and the price goes down, I magically won't pay it back. Why not? As Chase pointed out, most of what I buy with a credit or debit card is not going to have any value a few weeks later. Case in point: groceries.

With that said, I will also reiterate that I do not believe it's a good idea to buy cryptocurreny (or, for that matter, groceries) on credit. If you don't have the money right there to spend on it, you probably need to be rethinking some things about your financial life. Regardless, that should be my own choice to make. Maybe I want to use my discover card to buy groceries and Bitcoin and immediately pay it back so I can get those cashback bonus awards!

The overarching point that I notice with the credit card restrictions being implemented by banks further proves the primary use-case of cryptocurrencies -- that your money (even if borrowed and liable) is your own, and that you can decide how you wish to spend it unimpeded by any third party. Cryptocurrencies enforce these financial freedoms at a protocol level, so if/when these restrictions move to general bank payments, it will only serve to increase the value of cryptocurrency networks. The interesting part in all of this, is that the banks never had the funds that they 'forward' to users to go and spend in the first place. Given that it is my view that the financial system is not in the most healthy state, my cynical side is hoping cryptocurrencies aren't going to be blamed as a cause of any economic downturn that may eventuate.

VIDEO UPDATE

Hello everyone. I have received the final version of one of the videos I have in production. This video illustrates why DNotes Global is important to DNotes visually, in a brief video. It took more than 3 weeks full time work for the animator to complete it, we are very appreciative of his efforts.

The next video to release will be our first overview video based on the DNotes Global pitch deck.

I expected something great, but this is amazingly awesome, Tim.

“It took more than 3 weeks full time work for the animator to complete.” Wow! What a great accomplishment.

It’s a brilliant idea representing all the possibilities DNotes strives to accomplish as an inclusive and trusted name.

Our challenge is that it may take us 30 years to complete all the tasks our animator so cleverly took three weeks to lay out – block by block; all strategically linked to create one super-system, in which everything in interrelated with many sub-systems – our ecosystems.

That is a breathtaking display of the DNotes’ vision. Congratulations to you and your team for a job well done!

"People were buying too much cryptocurrency, and it was volatile, and then people began to default on their loans. At that point, it caused a cascading default on loans between people until even the bank couldn't meet its liabilities."

The operative word here is "people" as I see it. "People" will do dumb and impetuous things, we all have, it's in our nature. So, for the last 50 years or so, it's been fine to use your card for anything you want right? Including illegal items I might add. Has there ever been limitations on what you can buy with your credit card, other than monetary limits, at merchants who accept credit cards? No. So what's the real story here? The "banks" (in quotes because they are no longer banks, your "money" is not there, it's been invested or spent in ways you will never know about.) Are, for the first time, facing competition and they have no clue how to deal with it other than the "full frontal assault" because, I will argue, they are not "real" businesses, they occupy a sector of the economy that gives very little to no value back to the customer, they produce nothing, and they are not really needed. Banks are obsolete.

But, you say, I can get a car loan, mortgage, have a safe place to keep my money, I need a bank! The only reason you need a bank is because banks have worked hard for hundreds of years to make you dependant. Just like a good drug dealer they reel you in a little bit at a time with promises of great things, fancy homes, new cars, money to take that wonderful vacation or, start your own business and live the good life. Credit, credit, credit, it's their life's blood sucking yours out. All without doing anything but signing on the dotted line. We are indentured servants, we pay and pay and die poor with unpaid mortgages and auto loans.

What can we do about it? Inside the system, nothing, unless you want to live as a pauper and die broke passing your debts to your children. Outside the system, we can take financial matters into our own hands or, at least make more financial decisions on our own, keeping banks at the fringe of our financial world only because the rest of society hasn't seen the light. Crypto allows for this, if it survives and thrives.

As with many things in life, we can turn to Shakespeare for the final note from Hamlet: "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" The Banks should embrasse crypto and start thinking about how to integrate it into their systems if they want to survive. Life is all about change, even rocks were away, nothing is permanent. Cut up that card!  Grin

Thank you very much for the kinds words DYNA. It is an extremely difficult ecosystem to visualise and animate in a brief video, or to animate full stop. Once people work out what we are doing, at the moment when the ecosystem is, at least partially designed and in plain view, it will become much easier to understand and DNotes may well be considered one of the most forward thinking projects of the early crypto-era (like I do).

If anyone had a chance to watch the CFTC/SEC hearing today in Washington, I'd be curious to hear your opinion.  In my opinion, this hearing in general was positive for the future of cypto currencies.  While still pretty vague in many aspects, there appears to be support for moving this technology forward.  A majority of the concern was with scams and "unregulated" ICO's.  While I couldn't agree more, I doubt many of these are in their jurisdiction.  My hope, as time goes on, we'll see a self regulating body come to the surface.  These blockchains are world wide, and obviously no one country can govern this space.  

One of the points made, was how not one ICO has come to the SEC for their approval.  I can only imagine the hurdles that must be jumped over to even get this far.  I know the DNotes team has at some level, looked at this avenue in the past.  Can you share your thoughts on what it would take to be the "first" company to apply for this ICO approval, and possibly why DNotes has chosen not to take this road?  We see the many benefits of the Reg A+, title IV, tier II, mini IPO offering, however this approval process is expensive and time consuming.  Could the application for an ICO, through the SEC/CFTC achieve the same results, and less headache perhaps, as what is trying to be achieved through the Reg A+, title IV, tier II, mini IPO offering?  

While this would not offer DNotes Global Inc. the exposure to the OTC, and traditional market participation, could this be an alternative for future funding while gaining notoriety for being the "first" ICO application?  Could it also cut down on the burdensome expenses, audits and compliance hurdles?  What about a relationship with potential banking partnerships needed to move forward in the future?  ie future exchange, on/off ramp.  (Pretty sure I know the answers to last couple questions)

To take this a little further, as crypto currencies become more excepted and banks possibly feeling threatened and auditors not necessarily willing to risk their name on the dotted line, how could this effect DNotes Global Inc.'s ability to be/stay in compliance?  Could an legitimate ICO eliminate this?  (Is that an oxymoron?)  Something tells me any path taken here in the U.S., will have nothing but red tape and hurdles.

I believe 100% DNotes is taking the right path, but my hope is third parties wont make it too difficult to achieve a third party-less system.

While this would not offer DNotes Global Inc. the exposure to the OTC, and traditional market participation, could this be an alternative for future funding while gaining notoriety for being the "first" ICO application?  Could it also cut down on the burdensome expenses, audits and compliance hurdles?  What about a relationship with potential banking partnerships needed to move forward in the future?  ie future exchange, on/off ramp.  (Pretty sure I know the answers to last couple questions)

To take this a little further, as crypto currencies become more excepted and banks possibly feeling threatened and auditors not necessarily willing to risk their name on the dotted line, how could this effect DNotes Global Inc.'s ability to be/stay in compliance?  Could an legitimate ICO eliminate this?  (Is that an oxymoron?)  Something tells me any path taken here in the U.S., will have nothing but red tape and hurdles.

I believe 100% DNotes is taking the right path, but my hope is third parties wont make it too difficult to achieve a third party-less system.

Didn't actually see it Denver Dan but, several of my co workers did and they said was pro Bitcoin. They will leave the market alone and concentrate efforts on making sure only legal ICOs are allowed and they will be regulating ICOs and Exchanges, a good thing, in my opinion but keep an eye on them! Overall very positive for crypto here in the US and countries that follow our lead.

VIDEO UPDATE

Hello everyone. I have received the final version of one of the videos I have in production. This video illustrates why DNotes Global is important to DNotes visually, in a brief video. It took more than 3 weeks full time work for the animator to complete it, we are very appreciative of his efforts.

The next video to release will be our first overview video based on the DNotes Global pitch deck.

DNotes Global -- Ecosystem Preview








I expected something great, but this is amazingly awesome, Tim.

“It took more than 3 weeks full time work for the animator to complete.” Wow! What a great accomplishment.

It’s a brilliant idea representing all the possibilities DNotes strives to accomplish as an inclusive and trusted name.

Our challenge is that it may take us 30 years to complete all the tasks our animator so cleverly took three weeks to lay out – block by block; all strategically linked to create one super-system, in which everything in interrelated with many sub-systems – our ecosystems.

That is a breathtaking display of the DNotes’ vision. Congratulations to you and your team for a job well done!


Thank you very much for the kinds words DYNA. It is an extremely difficult ecosystem to visualise and animate in a brief video, or to animate full stop. Once people work out what we are doing, at the moment when the ecosystem is, at least partially designed and in plain view, it will become much easier to understand and DNotes may well be considered one of the most forward thinking projects of the early crypto-era (like I do).


Nice job Tee-Gee! Can't wait for it to materialize!

Denver Dan, thanks for sharing. I had the opportunity to watch an extensive portion of the SEC/CFTC Senate Committee on Banking hearing in Washington today. Although, it was by no means definitive or comprehensive, I felt that it was positive, fair and objective. It was acknowledged that what we are witnessing could be “transformational” and become very big. I took it that timely attention in confronting the challenges while preserving opportunities for the innovative technologies to flourish was warranted. I was also encouraged to recall a remark that the “currency” component go together with the underpinning blockchain technologies. Just one or the other would not have gained my attention or justification to characterized it as the greatest technology revolution since the Internet.

There is a frequent lack of understanding, that under existing rules and regulations there are no provisions for the SEC to register or grant an exemption to a cryptocurrency, as we know it. Being a decentralized autonomous entity, no one controls it. It is self-governing by algorithm with embedded rules. 

As it is today, the SEC can only interface with human – individuals, partnership, companies, etc., using it as its only means of getting full disclosure of all relevant materials, representations, and reporting requirements. In most cases it is very burdensome – complex, costly, and time consuming.

From my prospective, it is not possible for a coin to be a registered or exempt ICO with the SEC. A third party must be involved as an individual, partnership or company. This should clearly explain why not one single ICO is registered or exempt with the SEC, according to Chairman Jay Clayton.  If there is a way around it, I certainly will be all out to have DNotes launch the first ICO with the SEC approval – registered or exempt.

The path that we chosen is certainly burdensome, costly, and time consuming, but the best path in consideration of available options and our long-term vision. My biggest challenge so far has been recruiting a team of professionals who have sufficient working knowledge to assist us with sufficient comfort of the realities of our industry. It has not been easy, and the current state of our industry is certainly not helpful. Nonetheless, I am totally committed to make it happen. I trust that the launching of DNotes 2.0  on March 18, 2018 will give us great momentum to move our Reg. A+ Mini-IPO forward.

I have to say the video is quite impressive and the animations were incredible. However the video raised lots of questions. How do you guys intend to make Dnotes global big and successful? Also how do you plan on making the consulting business a success? Also for accredited investors where can we see the business plan and what secondary markets will it trade on if any?

Welcome acryptodealer, those are great questions. We are working on the documentation for answering those questions in great detail as we speak, including a white paper and pitch deck. I would recommend the brief description I can provide here and now does not do the overall system justice, and it will take some research as well as waiting for our detailed documentation, but I will provide a high level description:

DNotes is a decentralized digital currency and in order to make the decentralized digital currency useful in the centralized world it requires third party involvement to create a 'bridge'. DNotes Global, Inc. is the bridge, and the ecosystem it is creating are all parts and pieces of that bridge, but we took it a step further by creating a cross ownership model between the currency and the company to further increase the bond between them and the interest between the two.

Currently as part of the ecosystem, we have several pre-revenue generating entities, they include:
DCEBrief - a news and information media outlet that delivers objective and informative news on the latest developments in the world of digital currency. News is presented in the condensed format needed by busy executives, business owners, regulators, and other decision-makers. Aside from a platform to educate this group and others on truth versus misconceptions in the digital currency industry, DCEBrief will be an invaluable media resource for global coverage of all DNotes initiatives.
DNotesVault - offers the familiar custodial relationship investors are accustomed to by providing all our stakeholders with secure, guaranteed online storage for their DNotes. With its likely future evolution into an exchange / bank, it will not only operate as a trusted facilitator of everyday transactions like automatic deposits and payroll deductions into our various CRISPs (Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plans), it will be a financial cornerstone in global commerce and small business success.
CRISP - Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plans. Currently Kids, Retirement, Employee Incentive Benefits, Students.
The Four Pillars of Business Success - Revenue from “The Four Pillars of Business Success”, a book written by Alan Yong in which he shares four decades worth of business expertise, will help fund future projects and provides valuable exposure for DNotes, our CRISP program, and the rest of the ecosystem. The Four Pillars member site is an affordable e-mentorship program that provides access to Alan and his team, additional resources, and materials that expand on the concept of the book.
As well as the The Four Pillars of Business Success Membership site and Video Series.
CryptoMoms - addresses a great need within the industry for accurate digital currency education, straightforward and unbiased news, and representation from women. CryptoMoms, launched by DNotes in 2014, provides a digital currency learning center not just for women, but for anyone that would like to learn or ask questions in a friendly and helpful environment. It will also act as a stepping stone toward adoption of DNotes by women’s small businesses.

From there we intend to expand our ecosystem providing digital currency services and platforms as well as into NextGenVC. NextGenVC will be built from a model we will be using for DNotes Global Inc, to build a successful business, identify companies in need of help. Depending on the unique situation, potentially help them raise funds, train them using the four pillars business model and work with their staff, help them create DNotes CRISP programs for their employees, help them accept DNotes for payments and B2B in-network DNotes offerings, build DNotes and DNotes based blockchain applications that help utilize our platform to improve their efficiency.

When we release the documentation and videos with those greater details, our newsletter subscribers will receive them.

Also, regarding your final question:
We are at the early planning stages of two rounds of funding – Reg. D 506 (c) for $2.5 million, followed by Reg. A+ Mini IPO Title IV Tier 2 to raise up to $50 million from accredited and non-accredited investors worldwide, within a 12-month period. We plan to have DNotes Global, Inc.’s common stock listed on OTCQX secondary market soon after the closing of the A+ funding round.
