That's what happens when newbies follow Suppoman & his shilled ICOs. People should learn to do their own research & do not reply on YouTubers.
I have nothing against BDG, just the idea itself isn't so innovative & shouldn't be in the blockchain in the first place because it won't ads / solve anything that isn't already done.
I would disagree with you on this point. We can't do what we've set out to do without blockchain, a quick explanation. 1. Scholarships & Micro-payments ( using smart-contracts we can easily distribute payments and scholarships to students). Imagine convincing thousands of people to put in their banking information and then manually sending them a couple of dollars as an incentive for completed achievements. This would be such a huge timesink that blockchain and token payments solve with 1 smart-contract. 2. 100% revenue share model for teachers. Using blockchain we can have it so students pay teachers directly. Smart-contract would outline the transaction details so that no side would have to "pay first" and feel uneasy. 3. Safety for students. If businesses sponsor courses, students can rest assured that they'll get their scholarships because everything is processed through smart-contracts. Blockchain also adds a level of transparency so no-one feels cheated. 4. And tokens allow us to gamify the platform.

I also think these things can be done better with blockchain, it is just not as urgent to a lot of people as the system is quite alright today. Once improvements are demonstrated that mindset will change.

A long time? Its been 7 months... the platform is running beta and you expect everything to be pitch perfect allready? This is a long hold my friend... a thing you have to trust and believe in... not a hype thing.

The whole business plan is that to learn and earn there need to be Companies searching for employees. For example Company ABC is searching for Android Developers. Company ABC creates a scholarship for the best Android Course BDG has, you as a person willing to learn Android Developement get the course for free, when you finish the course and finish the last test with a high score you get paid AND Company ABC might ask you to work for them. To be able to approach companies that will fund courses and search for employees you need to first have a userbase and content.

I actually think its a quite good use case of the blockchain. It might not be the best revenue model for investors or make the tokens moon instantly, but that's not what the whole ICO was done for. The problem is that most investors just want to have multiplied they invested money and don't really care about the project at all. The token could still be used to learn a lot from the courses and projects hosted.

Paying it's not the same thing. It doesn't get out of circulation. The impact on price if locking them is a lot bigger. They could at least do a hybrid where some tokens are a fee for bdg and the rest gets locked and returned after 1 year.

Nothing large so everyone can afford it, but for example lock 50 and these 50 tokens would be used to pay for fees for using the Blockchain to save / change data to the cv The team will for sure be thinking of good solutions once they get there

I'm sure they will, just wanted to share my idea and like i said i hope they'll give the locking mechanism a chance. After all, the Bitdegree team is the biggest holder and wouldn't mind seeing the token appreciate You can always put a limit order and wait until it gets filled

The whole year BTC is making several triangles. If this pattern continues BTC should reach $7100-7500 before we get back to $6000. So far alts lost more value after every drop while BTC dominance is growing (I hope this kind of off topic is allowed to say here )

Awesome, happy to have you onboard! We're always looking to make the best business decisions and create the best possible product. So, encountering positivity is always nice Thank's for the idea. We are looking to implement Cv and jobhunting opportunities soon. So, this could be a great way to combat spammy accounts and gamify the process

Students can receive scholarships within 24h of finishing a course that grants a scholarship, with smart-contracts you know for sure that you will get a scholarship for doing XYZ and you know you'll get it quick.

The secondary story to support BDG's barriers, the loss of momentum on the demand index indicates that BDG is facing a collapse of liquidity and leverage under the pressure of selling index level. If it ends in Q4 (2018), has not yet increased BDG holder or productivity growth, I worry Q1 (2019) is the most important time to start ...

All it takes is for a bit of a bull cycle to start with some more marketing and then a new exchange and bdg could suddenly explode The new video player is also really good. Looks very slick Much better than the stack skills one

Speculative assessment of any crypto project based on past trends is an easy way to label a project as 'in trouble' or 'struggling'. Team has done alot behind the scenes to establish what is required to help the platform and company succeed. They also mentioned that Q1 will be a massive period for them. This demand index aka current exchange volume does not mean anything for the team right now as focusing on increasing volume on exchanges does not create a good project

Going from 0.006 to 0.6 is x100, thats a 100x ''bullrun'' they all trying to believe so hard in. This project back at ICO price, meh, maybe... but I suggest buying load of it now, ICO price might be the ending station the coming 5 years

The online education space is very crowded and many other competitors have established partnerships with reputable schools, which is something that BitDegree lacks. BitDegree’s sponsorship model is unproven and i am unsure whether BitDegree will obtain a large market share in this space.

It really is a tough market right now. There is a lot of competition out there but there is often room for more than one good provider on the market. I think they will be some kind of option to receive real credits for some kind university degree or maybe some certificates that are approved by some institutional space

But people are unsatisfied with their educational experience or cannot afford it all together. We're not looking to completely replace other educational institutions. Our goal is the co-creation of value where teachers/students and employers would get the most bang for their buck. With gamification, scholarships, and job-matching all in one, we're offering something that hasn't been done yet. In just half a year we've managed to gain a userbase of ~80thousand students. And we've just begun.
