[ANN] [IEO] CurioInvest - Bringing collectables into the digital world

[kojektea]

After rey said "to consider the top exchange" I thought the cur list on the new exchange would be postponed until the crypto was recovered,
because maybe they wouldn't force it to do this during market conditions like this, would their roadmap be a little stunted?

I see the current market situation, of course they will postpone it because of the current unstable market situation, there must be a lot to consider such as the risk of depositing funds and they must also pay attention to the stability of CUR tokens, so that the situation can survive waiting for the market situation to improve

To those who haven't been following CurioInvest through their telegram group [HERE]

There's been an important announcement made just this Monday.

CurioInvest team just launched Curio DAO. It is a collectables curator DAO built with AragonProject for decentralized tokenized rare cars.

From what I can summarize, those who are holding CUR Tokens can trade those for CURV (Curio DAO governance token) and by holding CURV tokens makes you a member of the Curio DAO which in return gives you the ability to vote and make proposals for Curio DAO.
There are also talks of incentivizing members of this DAO and staking/rewards.

What's more important is you can now trade your CUR Tokens to CURV tokens through Aragon [HERE] (1 CURV = 1 CUR).
For more details, you may read such a telegram post here: [Source].

only a few people join the community in their new group, and without it the new reforms do not have a big impact on the community specifically the attraction of the curioinvest project

There's only a handful of real people on their old telegram group to begin with, so I guess that's expected on their new telegram group.
There are also talks in that group about collaboration with Houbi? Maybe they are talking about this Houbi: https://www.huobi.com
So, then that's another new exchange listing. Not officially announced though so take that with a grain of salt.

Yes of course, I hope that what I hope for with the CurioInvest project can be realized, because I'm storing a little token cur in my wallet, even though the current situation is very difficult to hope that cur can survive.

You are pretty good at still holding some CUR tokens from the bounty and you have passed where CUR has been pumped high but with the hope this can be realized at a better price after an update.

[julerz12]

Yes, of course, I hope that what I hope for with the CurioInvest project can be realized, because I'm storing a little token cur in my wallet, even though the current situation is very difficult to hope that cur can survive.

They are doing it slowly but surely.
Recently, CurioInvest got into the top 4 in the TOP 100 Swiss Startups (I think voting is still currently ongoing).
If they manage to be in the top spot, they'll win 10K CHF which would help them further fund this project.

You can see Valerie Halter doing the talk in the video below posted on VentureLabs Youtube Channel.


They've also been mentioned in Huobi's Operation Monthly Report (May 2020) [HERE].

A few words from the Founder of CurioInvest, Rey Fernando Verboonen

In a couple of weeks Curio will turn 2 years.

It’s been quite a journey. Ups and downs. Delays and worlds firsts. But every single day has brought us a bit closer towards our vision. Among the most astonishing findings I have observed when interviewing VCs or private investors: is how much they focus on the idea, and how little on the team!

If you are reading this and are VC or angel investor, I would like to remind you, Curio is not only about DLT tech, or even about prospectus approval or 3D car garage, or price radar sentiment to hard to priced collectables, or maybe stablecoin, or maybe protocol;

Curio is about an extraordinary hard working team with a laser sharp vision of what DLT potential could bring and a increasing growing rock solid community.
This, is Curio.

The team also just launched the first digital asset representing a collectible and it's a freakin Ferrari F12tdf!
The sale runs from June 15 to July 15, 2020; with a minimum investment of 100 tokens. For more info, visit: https://curioinvest.com/car/4

Check out how sexy that car is!

[julerz12]

Are they  hoping the price of Ferrari F12tdf will go up and they can sell it? As I got it that super car is kept in the garage. What is the benefit of this for those who  hold their tokens, CUR, unless I'm mistaken. I can't begin to understand business model of CurioInvest and why investors would buy their tokens.

That's basically the idea and what they're hoping for. A Ferrari F12tdf isn't just your ordinary car, it's a collectible supercar. The keyword there is "collectible" which would mean in the near future the price and demand for such car would rise up. When that happens, the car is then sold and those who buy tokens for that specific car would get a share from the potential profit.
You could learn more about this by reading on their FAQs section.

[julerz12]

Well, got it, they tokenize specific collectible car, and each of those car will have its own token, right? But, AFAIK, CurioInvest has the common token, CUR. What is it for? If this correct the price for CUR should also rise, right?

I'm not sure if this is 100% accurate but I think CUR has been changed to CURV.
CURV It's their DAO governance token.
Holding CURV makes you a member of the Curio DAO.
With it, you can participate in governance votes, vote on which collectible car will be purchased, and assessment of the assets.
They've launched a swap before on Aragon Platform wherein CUR can be exchanged into CURV. I think that was on March 2020?

Can people spend  those CURs  to buy tokens relevant to the car they choose?

Based on their website, to purchase a "share" of the car they are currently offering, you need "CAR token" which I think can be purchased directly from the website.

What else can be expected from CUR, any stake model?

I'm not sure about the staking model. I've read about it before on their telegram channel but I think that is still in the planning process and hasn't even begun to take form.

the latest article at curioinvest blog is good to read
The idea of an average investor being able to afford a luxury car, fine art or even a Class A real estate property has previously been thought to be unattainable. However, tokenization is revolutionizing the investment process by offering fractional ownership of assets via security token offerings, and creating more opportunities for small investors to get involved.
