Hi all!
We're a new startup business looking to build a team for a new blockchain based architecture to provide an on ramp for cryptocurrencies through ticketing/bookings. It's akin to locktrip (locktrip.com) but instead of being a platform specifically focused at disrupting and displacing the entrenched hotel accommodation booking space, our platform aims to complement, refine and expand the existing models for bookings and ticketing. We believe that by utilising a distributed, open and trusted blockchain platform, existing businesses can free themselves of managing expensive databases, complex payment systems and difficult to manage processes for data integrity.
The key goal for our project is to provide a net in-flow of fiat into crypto through the use of retained funds in the booking/ticketing space. Key to the growth of cryptocurrencies is utility and cryptos so far have provided great utility for significant portions of dark web style transactions. We want to create greater liquidity of crypto through more legitimate and mainstream transactions. One of the largest spaces for this is ticketing and accommodation.
We believe that by creating a platform that benefits, rather than directly attacks, existing entrenched businesses we will be able to garner adoption, and thus inflow from fiat to crypto, far quicker and far more wide spread than we can ever hope to achieve by directly attacking existing enterprise.
Our architecture is designed to make it easy for asset hodlers to create, track and manage bookings/tickets with greater control, defined by their own rules for entry into the open marketplace. Use case examples will be provided in the whitepaper which the first drafts we'd like to present here for initial feedback.
Right now we are looking for advisors and blockchain developers to help build our ICO paper and begin initial development. Ideal candidates are technical individuals with experience in blockchain development with existing experience of the accommodation/ticketing industry/architectures.
We are also looking for individuals who have worked at existing booking platform companies or travel booking experts with experience in market pricing and analytics.
Lastly we are looking for economists who can ensure that a pricing model will function and facilitate the vision of fiat currency flow into crypto.
We'd like to build an active community of 'Playbox' supporters in bitcointalk who recognise our vision to bring us to a fully crypto society. Are you with us?
WHO AM I?
I'm a business entrepreneur with a background in I.T. Systems architecture/rollout who has also successfully operated/joint owned a Marketing Agency for 12 years. I first touched bitcoin in 2011 but having the belief that it would be quickly squashed by governments I put my enthusiasm to bed (deleted 50 coins!). That is until 2013 when I began mining my own again with some KNC miners. I also built a website to help others understand the basics of money and why bitcoin is so important for our future.
Since then family life took priority and again my bitcoin dreams were put on the back burner. In that time, my father who was my biggest supporter died and gave me a greater realisation of a higher purpose. I have spent a great deal of my life trying to understand money, how the world really operates and what needs to change. That deep sense that something isn't right with the world took hold nearly 30 years ago when I was 13 and since then I have always been looking for a way to deliver a profound shift in how we work together.
Thankfully, someone with the initials S.N. already provided that tool and having recently separated and consequently left my Marketing Agency, I am now free to dedicate my life to that vision of profound social change.
Help me build one of the next onramps from fiat to crypto currency. The quicker, easier and smoother we can facilitate this transition, the quicker we can move away from the tyranny of our oppressive monetary system.
