In a generalized response,
@ those who havent received the second part of their first bounty yet, we're somewhere around No. 101. We all got distracted about a week ago after Doctors confirmation that Silver wouldnt make it. Siggi and her assistants should be resuming soon. Thank you for your understanding. Please note that if there is no TIO in your Balance, your account will be skipped, and they'll come back to paying you after everyone else has been paid, as stated earlier on.
- About timing the market: we've already been hurt by wrongly timing the market in the past. Back when I raised the concern bitcoin was $10,300, it went already below 8000. If we had gone on the exchange then, it would have been a waste of momentum, and exchange fees paid would have been lost. If we have to go a centralized exchange in a bear market then we're better off doing it when our main platform is live, our fight right now is for our tour guides platform to go live.
- On final note, this is a very small project, total money raised during our ICO was 103,000 and over 80% of the funds were from friends and family, less than $15,000 (which we're thankful for) came from this community, so yes pressure for us to deliver on promises is very personal and close to home.
The huge losses from crypto this year has scared aware our investors, and like most of you, we also bought bitcoin at over $17k, with the sole intent to use it to pay for exchange listings and we're still counting our losses. With our core investors shaken up, we can't afford to throw money around and jeopardize the future of this project, it's important that we concentrate our funds on whats most important, which is paying for right the developers to get our Tour Guides platform up, if the market appears to have found it's floor before then, we'll be listing on an exchange as well, if not, we'll time a big exchange listing to match with our platform lunch.
And yes I understand the concerns of those who have been with us from the beginning, this looks like a shadow of what we were or are supposed to be, but thesame goes for the entire market. We remain very committed to this project. And as a travel project, our future does not depend on blockchain.
It was really sad to hear about Silver Martin, may his soul rests in peace and almighty give enough strength to his family and friends to bear this big loss.
As this project is related to travel, I can sense the bright future of this project, blockchain is helping to build the base, market conditions currently are not favorable in any aspects, but we will have good times ahead, I will continue supporting this project, Good Luck.
