Detailed Project Description (Cryptoasset) ## Introduction Sports is one of the most common and effective social institutions of modern society, with the individual being its most important entity. Only societies with healthy, educated and cultured individuals can be considered to be modern. While its main purpose is to contribute to the physical, mental and social development of humanity, sports is also a very effective social tool for creating this society. In addition to their benefits and roles for the individual, sports also have a very important social duty. There is a significant relationship between the way modern people do sports and how sophisticated a society is. The purpose of this project is to reveal the social functions and dimensions of sports in third world countries that lack sufficient endorsement, to solve the problem of accessibility of younger generations? access to sports, and to contribute to global social sports aid organizations. ## What is Bluetherium (BLUT)? Bluetherium is a decentralized financial ecosystem for professional athletes, sports enthusiasts, and people who want to be successful in or have limited access to sports. Acting as a reliable alternative to traditional payment solutions for consumer health and fitness products and services, Bluetherium is an organization that aims to solve major problems in the sports industry. We aim to keep our community alive and expand by offering awards through various events and activities. ## Benefits Bluetherium aims to utilize blockchain and metaverse technology to solve the financial problems of the sports industry. By building a DeFi ecosystem tailored for sports, we aim to incentivize the community to both increase their sports activities and earn money while doing so. ### Bluetherium: * Is a decentralized financial ecosystem tailored for the sports industry * Includes a mining system that involves the activities of people engaged in sports, both for professional or hobby purposes * Is a platform where athletes and sports fans can get together * Will establish sports facilities to aid the community * Will spread sports and training in popular culture by conducting various events and activities, and prevent sports from being perceived as a luxury lifestyle. ## How Many BLUT Tokens Are There in Circulation? Bluetherium launched its ICO on March 7th 2022 with a total supply of 100,000,000 BLUT tokens. The tokenomics of the project will be distributed according to the allocations provided in our Whitepaper: * 12% ICO Sale * 3% Private Sale * 30% Ecosystem * 10% Development * 10% Team/Advisors * 10% Marketing/Listing * 10% IEO/IDO Sale * 10% Rewards Software * 5% Airdrop ## Where Can You Buy (BLUT)? (BLUT) is currently only available through our ICO launchpad which can be reached from our website: http://bluetherium.org. The ICO will take place in 3 phases with the following prices: Phase I: 0,2 USD, Phase II: 0,3 USD, Phase III: 0,4 USD. Following the completion of the ICO, Bluetherium will apply to several CEXs as well as DEXs.

As I understand you conduct ICO on your site.
On what exchanges do you plan a listing of your token? When will you start a listing?

One of the problem you tried to solve according to your whitepaper is that sport is perceived as luxury, please cite us the source or the published paper or surveys that made you give this statement, because this is a rare occasion I heard that sports is seen as a luxury activity.

yes, if you want to do sports in some countries, you must first become a member of a club or gym, of course there is a fee for this. Problems produced by social media For example: if you want to do sports, you should go to this gym or buy this product according to itself. The aim of this project is to identify these problems and not to allow the sports industry to become a monopoly.

The aim is not to make a profit here by creating a community, but to make everyone who wants to do this business earn a bonus from it and to produce a value in the financial system. In this industry, it is desired to benefit people, even if it is small.

It is a very noble cause that you are trying to do with helping sports persons. You mention that Bluetherium will help sports persons with things like financing and getting equipment etc. What you fail to talk about is how you are going to generate the funds to pay for those items and help them. It will not be feasible to rely on the market price of your token as history has repeated itself over and over, countless times that most new tokens' price drop shortly after release. Can you please expand on the sustainable funding of your project?

There are professional and amateur athletes in our team, many municipalities and local regions have participated in this project, they are receiving serious support, the audience is increasing, everyone is contributing, now there is a pre-sale. ICO proceeds will be used for exchange listing, social benefit and roadmap stages. And soon there will be sports competitions under the name of BLUT, everyone will see.

Ok but that still does not say how you are going to fund your project. Also it is not clear why you need the tokens and an token sale. If you are going to use up the funds for what you are saying then the project may die down. You will need some form of sustainable method to generate funds with the project.

In this system, sports competitions will be organized, health and sports products will be offered, and also incentive awards will be organized by using its own blockchain and wearable technology.

Maybe I just don't understand your operating model. What I can see is that you will have a token sale on BSC which will place the money in your hands and tokens in the hands of buyers. Then you will create your own chain for which the mining will work with wearables "Our ultimate aim will be to create our own blockchain network with the funding provided from the ICO, where mining will be realized using wearable technologies, and aided by our own sports and health products" [from your docs under 'what is blut mining']. I don't know how mining with wearables work and would be interesting to see. You will also use the money for exchange listing. After that there will be events from municipalities that will fund the problems you want to solve. I just want to understand why you need a token sale and and why you need to create e new chain and cannot use a token on an existing chain like BSC which will not cost money. Using DeFi on DEX platforms also does not cost money. Why do you need money to build a new chain and spend it on exchange listings, I presume CEX exchanges. I am just questioning the economics and sustainability.

I am just questioning the economics and sustainability. There are many stages for our product to become fully functional. Development, marketing, testing and prototyping for wearables, and integrating this to the mass market along with organization and event operating costs to name a few. We will have income generation from products and services in the future, but we need token funding to get there, as do most projects.

Hmm... it is very unfortunate that my concern is proven to be correct, that you're over-generalizing. What you claimed as "luxury" is clearly a sports that's rather unique --or exotic, if you prefer that term-- but that is clearly not the case for the entire branch of sports. There is nearly zero fee to join football game, or marathon, or basketball, or other "general" sport. Claiming that sport is luxury would rather be unjust. On the other hand, if we have to be a member of a group or a gym to cultivate our skill in certain sport that's only catered on that group, the most likely scenario is the sport branch is exclusive --like horse riding, for example, or fencing, or archery-- and people who look into that sports should already have the resources to join the club and/or, especially since the club would rather be exclusive and I can imagine would also be rather high-end, they wouldn't mind to give free membership to an athlete who shows great talent but has limited budget to pay the membership. I don't think people who joins an exclusive sport club or "luxury" gym would be burdened to allocate extra dollars to chip in for that athlete. I know this from first hand experience as I once joined a rather unique branch of sport with quite above-the-average membership fee, and the people on that branch would fully support newcomers with limited budget to join for free if they shows talent and interest. The other case would be an "exclusive" club where everybody is closely knitted like street workout. For this case, I also didn't think the members would mind to open themselves to support a talented athlete, especially as the membership for such activities is rather... on entry-level. So, to summarize, your basis for your project is flawed and it is not wrong to questions the validity and senses behind your project. Unless, of course, if I still misunderstood your specific meaning. So please enlighten me, the easies way to make sure we're on the same page is by giving me 5 to 10 examples of sport branch that you're referring to, that you want to support. This information should be very easy to pull as they should already have been on your mind when you laid foundation for this project.

The main point here is that it’s not us that perceives certain sports as a luxury, but on the contrary, we are trying to break that conception in places that do. We understand that sports may not be a luxury in your country of residence, but in developing countries, it is sometimes very challenging to exercise and to get proper nutrition. The numbers of athletes from developing countries who have managed to work extra hard and achieve success despite the bad conditions of their country are quite low. There are many talented children growing up in developing countries who have the potential to be successful in sports but are not able to participate in many fields due to reasons such as financial difficulties and living expenses. The importance here is to enable talented and gifted people to realize themselves despite obstacles and impossibilities. In this project, we intend to eliminate this perception, support both individuals and team sports, and increase success in the Olympic fields. This project is not intended only for football, basketball, or other popular sports - but also for lesser popular ones such as chess, which should also be as popular as football in an ideal world. Another good example is Paralympics which is also undervalued.

Another good example is Paralympics which is also undervalued. The conception that sport is luxury is brought by you. The general conception that the rest of the world held and believe is --common-- sport is very cheap. While for the exclusive and exotic sport, let's say horse-riding, as stated above based on anecdotal evidence by me, their community will be more than happy to pitch in. And, again, repeated, governments on developing countries will most likely lend their hand to help talented athletes. Unless this part of statement [paragraph 2] is based on a research, kindly cite me the source of this claim. In regards to nutrition, the common trend thus far is actually the opposite of your perception. Unless you're still living in the 90s, social media works really great for talented people who in need of support. Many talented athletes are paid to promote health products, which not only helps their income, it alo gives them proper nutrition from the product they represent. Thus your project is rather useless unless you can offer something more, which you don't. The numbers of athletes from developing countries who have managed to work extra hard and achieve success despite the bad conditions of their country are quite low.
Wait... what? So why'd you even here? The numbers are low, the government and society do their works, thank you very much.

So please enlighten me, the easies way to make sure we're on the same page is by giving me 5 to 10 examples of sport branch that you're referring to, that you want to support. This information should be very easy to pull as they should already have been on your mind when you laid foundation for this project.
The main point here is that it’s not us that perceives certain sports as a luxury, but on the contrary, we are trying to break that conception in places that do. We understand that sports may not be a luxury in your country of residence, but in developing countries, it is sometimes very challenging to exercise and to get proper nutrition. The numbers of athletes from developing countries who have managed to work extra hard and achieve success despite the bad conditions of their country are quite low. There are many talented children growing up in developing countries who have the potential to be successful in sports but are not able to participate in many fields due to reasons such as financial difficulties and living expenses. The importance here is to enable talented and gifted people to realize themselves despite obstacles and impossibilities. In this project, we intend to eliminate this perception, support both individuals and team sports, and increase success in the Olympic fields. This project is not intended only for football, basketball, or other popular sports - but also for lesser popular ones such as chess, which should also be as popular as football in an ideal world. Another good example is Paralympics which is also undervalued. The conception that sport is luxury is brought by you. The general conception that the rest of the world held and believe is --common-- sport is very cheap. While for the exclusive and exotic sport, let's say horse-riding, as stated above based on anecdotal evidence by me, their community will be more than happy to pitch in. And, again, repeated, governments on developing countries will most likely lend their hand to help talented athletes. Unless this part of statement [paragraph 2] is based on a research, kindly cite me the source of this claim. In regards to nutrition, the common trend thus far is actually the opposite of your perception. Unless you're still living in the 90s, social media works really great for talented people who in need of support. Many talented athletes are paid to promote health products, which not only helps their income, it alo gives them proper nutrition from the product they represent. Thus your project is rather useless unless you can offer something more, which you don't. The numbers of athletes from developing countries who have managed to work extra hard and achieve success despite the bad conditions of their country are quite low.
Wait... what? So why'd you even here? The numbers are low, the government and society do their works, thank you very much.
Firstly, we feel the need to emphasize once again that it is not us who believe that sports are a luxury, but despite our own belief, we know for a fact that in many areas of the world, especially in developing countries, there is a widespread conception that many sports are a luxury. Some examples: Thesis on the association of luxury and sports: https://repositorio.ucp.pt/bitstream/10400.14/35677/1/202751325.pdfRelationship between F1 and luxury: https://www.motorlat.com/notas/especiales/18466/formula-luxury-the-relationship-between-f1-and-luxury-brandsReasons why athletes go broke: https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0312/why-athletes-go-broke.aspxAnd these would go on… And, again, repeated, governments on developing countries will most likely lend their hand to help talented athletes.
Secondly, that may be the case in the US or Western countries but we again know that is not the case in many developing countries. Many governments around the world are in financial trouble and either cannot or do not have the resources to dedicate enough budgets to sports and arts, some tragically cannot even fulfill basic health services and requirements. Financial trouble for athletes and sports enthusiasts is a big issue. This can be seen repeatedly on the news and the internet: Olympians facing financial trouble: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2020/05/13/tokyo-olympics-athletes-struggle-financially-no-competitions/3113035001/
An article which contains both sides of the story: https://debatewise.org/2870-state-funding-of-elite-athletes/Many talented athletes are paid to promote health products, which not only helps their income, it alo gives them proper nutrition from the product they represent.
There are many countries that do not even have access to the internet, nor online payment systems. The statement above is a bit biased, don’t you think? Not everyone in the world lives on Instagram. Even examples from developed countries: https://academic.oup.com/her/article/21/6/826/608268 (Quote: …barriers to participation in physical activity include high costs, poor access to facilities and unsafe environments…) The general conception that the rest of the world held and believe is --common-- sport is very cheap.
Effects of finance and sports: https://academic.oup.com/her/article/21/6/826/608268 ( Quote: Porter [31] found that older people were anxious about returning to physical activity and identified cost and time barriers as the main problems. https://www.insider.com/why-olympic-athletes-broke-how-they-make-money-tokyo-2020-2021-7Also, here is another resourceful site that describes some of the many problems that top-level US athletes face, mostly financial as well as many problems that we are striving to help: https://moneysmartathlete.com/the-obstacles/the-athlete-vulnerability-issue/Lastly, we want to also add that our project is not centred around luxury or about sports being perceived as luxury, but this is just one of the parts that we wish to improve. Overall we want to support sports, athletes, teams and help out all we can in all ways possible. We hope you will look at these issues in a broader mind and see the full picture.
