I get some facts for investing into SportyFi ICO - only 3 days left to start - check timer at
http://www.sportyfi.io 1. SportyFi is the first to combine Crypto world and sports, while solving real life issues of the majority of young athletes. As being first we will be the market benchmark for this industry. We are sure other teams will follow and copy SportyFi's idea and vision. But they will still only be following SportyFi.
2. The core team behind SportyFi is transparent and most importantly has a good track record. The team established a company running the platform for gym live-streaming onlinegym4me.com and convinced world famous tennis superstar Ana Ivanovic (ranked No. 1 in the world in 2008) to join as co-owner and got a substantial investment from the worlds leading gym equipment manufacturer TechnoGym (who joined as strategic investor). So, the core team has a very good track record, which shows its business capabilities.
3. SportyFi has one of the best (worldwide) blockchain development teams - the company Netis (netis.si) - blockchain technologies, which shows that the investors funds will be secured and that the smart-contract will execute as it should.
4. The acceptance of the idea in the sporty community was tremendous. This shows that the niche market SportyFi is attacking needs SportyFi. The "services" of SportyFi will thus be utilized. Increasing utilization of SportyFi's services will lead to the increased demand for SportyFi's services and at the same time for SPF Token (as only with the SPF token the use of the services will be possible). The worldwide acceptance of the project by sports community is proven by the public support by Roberto Carlos, Noriaki Kasai, Primoz Brezec, Savo Milosevic, Slovenian Basketball Association, no name just a few.
5. SPF Token is clear utility token of value. Without SPF Token there would be no SportyFi ecosystem and vice versa. The SPF smart contract will contain a gateway which will enable further development of smart contracts between athletes and investors thus rounding up the entire ecosystem. Furthermore, only SPF tokenholders will be permitted to attend DAO voting within the SportyFi Professional Fund.
6. One can ask why do you need blockchain to do this - and here is the answer: as Vitalik said in his interview with Naval Ravikant (at TechCrunch), one of the best applications of Ethereum platform is exactly in crowdfunding (you can watch the entire interview titled Decentralizing Everything here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CBrVXjDNBU, while the relevant part is somewhere from minute 8 onward); Ethereum platform (SportyFi ecosystem will be built on top of it) is thus perfect for SportyFi - enabling long distance smart contract execution between numerous participants in a transparent way.
7. What is written in the WhitePaper is not the end of the road but just the beginning. Already at this point we are constantly developing new ideas and making strategies how the new ideas can be introduced within the ecosystem (e.g. secondary market for investment smart contracts into athletes (or portion of right deriving from them), short term funding of an athlete to cover his travel costs and accommodation costs just for particular game or match, where the prize money will be known in advance, and similar). Please note that we will newer stop developing and here we are coming back to point No. 1 above - we will never stop brainstorming and developing to retain the No. 1 position worldwide, which we are getting now.
