The Revolution is Already Happening: Exchanging Value via Blockchain

Blockchain is the underlying technology behind cryptocurrencies, and unless you have been isolated on a remote island without wifi, you know it has been all over the press recently. The internet allows Information to be exchanged cheaply, quickly, easily and on a global scale; with blockchain technology, the same can be said about “exchanging value”.

Ubiquity of information
Think about how complicated it was back in the dark days before the internet to read the New York Times on the day it came out, when you were somewhere else across the planet, say Cape Town. Or think about how long it took for the East India Trading Company to pass information from Mumbai to London and back to Mumbai in the 1600s. Things like this are hard to imagine now, as nearly all information is at our fingertips online.

Complications of international investments
In the introduction, I mentioned that we can cheaply, quickly, easily, reliably and globally transfer value from any kind of asset, thanks to the blockchain. Just imagine how this could affect our global economy and daily life the same way the internet has changed how we communicate and consume information.

Let’s say you are an accredited investor in the US who wants to invest in some promising companies in Austria, a European German-speaking country. As of now, this involves a lot of paperwork, and you need to understand what it means to be a “Gesellschafter” (a form of a shareholder of a company). It needs a lot of international bureaucracy in the form of consultations with lawyers, translations of company registers, etc., and an international bank transfer most likely via an escrow or a merchant bank. Simply put, it’s not easy, and in many cases, there are multiple barriers to entry for companies looking to raise capital.

The future is bright and tokenized
All of these things cost money, time and effort. A solution like tokenized equity could really change the game. To maintain part ownership in a company or buy a company’s bonds, it would be as simple as just sending an email or one click.

Checkout this video from conda.online , they have a solution for tokenized equity offerings for the European Market
I am 100% certain that in the future, investments will be done via tokenized ownership in companies. The traditional standard of how investments are executed will change, because going the tokenized route is just much more efficient.

This process could actually be transferred to all forms of assets; one could very easily and straightforwardly purchase a property, a piece of land in other countries or any other type of physical or digital asset.

The future is bright, digital and tokenized.

SELLING YOUR STARTUPS PRODUCT AND NOT YOUR STARTUPS STORY…

I mean you already got some good coverage several of the Tech and Startup related blogs and are aware how to reach out to them. And we all know the feeling when we see our company be named on sites like techcrunch or thenextweb to just name a view. Well Isn’t this just enough Public Relation for your startup? No it isn’t and there are some simple reasons which I will present to you and how to adress and find the right blogs and media outlets for your product.

The danger 

First of all it is always great to get some coverage of your startup in the media and we all like to show our friends and other entrepreneurs we got mentioned on the Big Blogs and how well we are funded or which exciting product we have in development or how we are going forward with our UXDesign or A/B testing approach and the experience made with it. But be aware all the Media and PR which tells the story about your company in most cases does not reach your audience beside you are providing a product which adresses other startups, investors or wannabe entrepreneurs and early adoptors.   Yes they will click through most likely to your site and maybe as well register but are they really the customers your product is for. Most of the Tech and Startup related blogs are blogs read by the community and they are good to impress your angel investors and all the people involved in your company as they motivate the spirit.

What you most likely forget and should be aware of

But be aware this is not enough in the long run and you should as well sell your startups product and not only your startups story and progress itself. In most cases your audience will not be on this sites to read them and you are lucky if one of the bloggers or media persons bing an influencer in your space picks up from this blogs and may or may not write something about you. So you need to go out and sell as well to industry related blogs and media publications your startups product. These Blogs are mostly highly interested to get good tipps and hints for there readers and let them know about your awesome new product which helps them to improve.

An example

Let’s asume you are a Startup wich develops a tool which helps SME’s to better track the sales funnel. I bet it would be as well pretty clear for you that your audience mainly will not be on techcrunch or is reading Startupblogs frequently . So go out there and find the blogs and media outlets which are adressing exactly the audience which you would like to reach and spent as well as much effort to service them with proper PR materials and updates on your product than you would do with on of the blogs writing about Startups and Technology.

 

How to adress the right media for your Startups product

So you would maybe ask how to find them and how to adress them. It is pretty simple and works more or less the same way you are already familiar with. Go and network about with them via Twitter or at specific Events which are held for your customers audience and be aware what interrests them and as sad as it sounds they do not be interrested which technolgoy you use or how execelent funded you are they care the most about your product. You should do this steps early on as this helps as well for the vision and reefing your startups product as they more or less will give you a brutal hones feedback if the money they have to pay for your service or product is worth it.

What you should take out of my words:

“Its multiple times more effective and helps your startup more that you focus to be mentioned in the market segments media you are in  than to be on one of the big techblogs with your fundraising story.”

When Social Media Meets Crypto Currency

The world’s first crypto coin which is dedicated to tipping on social media. Have you ever wanted to give a little “thank you” to all the people helping you on twitter? Or the fans following and retweeting your tweets?

We are all familiar with the following situation; you’re planning a trip with your fiancé for the coming weekend, you want to know which is the best Italian restaurant to go. Since you believe in the power of the crowd, you tweet and ask your followers “What is the best Italian restaurant to go to?”. And what happens almost immediately? Dora tweets a suggestion for you, describing the delicious salmon pizza she just had at Marco’s Trattoria, which is to die for.

Since you are a person that values such quick, qualified, and personal responses, you ask yourself;

“How can I quickly repay a follower for helping me?”

This is where Reddcoin comes in. Just imagine with a simple tweet like:

You can now tip your follower, Dora, with real money for helping you out! So I am sure you have some questions in mind, like what is 2000 RDD worth? 2000 RDD currently has a value of approximately 10 cents USD, which is subject to change over time.

What is Reddcoin ?
Reddcoin is a crypto currency like Bitcoin. Reddcoin varies as it is dedicated to tipping on social networks as opposed to paying for goods and services online like Bitcoin. The founders of Reddcoin believe tipping via social media is the way to introduce the concept of crypto currency to the general public.

How do I get started and get my first Reddcoins?
First, download your wallet to manage your Reddcoins, once downloaded, your wallet is unique to your computer (Windows, Linux and Mac are all supported). To get your wallet started you can get some Reddcoins by mining them with your computer, this utilizes its GPU. The method I use for obtaining Reddcoin is from exchanging with other members. I got my first Reddcoins by joining the Reddcoin Community, someone donated them to help me get started.

How to tip people with Reddcoins on Twitter?
To be able to tip people with Reddcoins on Twitter you need to follow the Reddcoin Twitter bot and load your Reddcoin wallet with some coins. You can find the perfect guide and a “How2” on Reddcoins main website, which explains all the details and possibilities.

Overall, I must say the concept of tipping people that are helping me or retweeting my blog-posts is outstanding. Tipping is a great way to show your respect and sincere thanks for their favor. I agree with the ideals of Reddcoin as a crypto currency as it allows an easy and reliable way to send money between friends and followers alike.
