The obstacle that stands in front of the Digital currency - is the same as it was since it appeared with the bitcoin: people and even the creators and fans - YET - don't know what is exactly the difference between this system and the old nationals currencies systems. yes it's easy to use. yes there aren't new printing. yes there isn't interest, fees, third party and so on. but on the big picture - it isn't defined yet: what is the difference. I guess the answer is connected to the question - which no one yet have the answer - is the DC  ment to replace the national currencies or to be only sort of help and correction. the problem with such answer is: if DG ment to replace NC - then the creators and fans and the communities  can get a great powerful enemy: the governments. but if this is not the purpose - so the attraction  of DC is much lower and decreased. question 


This is horrendously dangerous by the Fed.

"We may be approaching a bifurcation point very rapidly where if the world realizes that the US dollar is in the same boat, there will be absolutely no safety anywhere in the traditional financial system."

http://www.sovereignman.com/trends/the-global-financial-system-is-now-resting-on-a-margin-of-1-3-17441/

When Lehman Brothers went under in 2008, it dragged down almost the entire financial system;

The united states government stepped in with Trillions in newly printed money. The US will soon be at 19 Trillion in debt once the debt ceiling is increased again.

2008 was different, US debt was only 9.6 Trillion (my entire nations GDP is like... 200 Billion...) but anyway, there was some leeway for the Fed to take on a whole lot of extra debt to 'encourage spending'. In 2008 the Fed had a balance sheet of 924 billion and capital of 40 billion, roughly 4.3% of assets.

Today the Fed's balance sheet is 4.5 Trillion, 5 times larger, yet total capital has collapsed to 1.3% of total assets, and it continues to fall further.

Lehman Brothers had capital at 3% of its balance sheet when it fell... double that of what the Fed's balance sheet is today.

Essentially, the Fed can not now lift interest rates, and it also cannot drop them any further. It's going to be bad news if interest rates drop (negative interest won't work and no more 'growth' stimulus leeway to go) and the value of its balance sheet will worsen even further because bonds will decrease.

Not good. We need sound money, and lots of people already know this who don't quite know what crypto is yet!




I do not foresee that digital currency will completely replace "national" currency for generations to come. However, I believe that it is entirely possible that within the next twenty years a digital currency likely DNotes could be accepted as the most efficient and convenient medium of exchange. It would then be a significant disadvantage for anyone not to accept it. Business owners will soon learn to use DNotes as a competitive edge not just to attract a new class of customers but in actual cost savings and immediate availability of funds.

I am personally committed to make this happen in my life time. We should be the best friends of any government. DNotes could be the best thing for the new generation of political leadership who are committed to a more transparent and responsible government, not to mention that it will greatly improve the efficiency in the movement or transfer of money and substantial savings that comes along with it.

Yeah DNotes is growing just by accomplishing his mantras step by step. Right on good way.

Its amazing how this rises in price always Always keep me with buy orders posted jajajaj it amazing !!!!  yeah still moar happy for rise than sad for lost buy orders  Cheesy

Hey infovortice, I love the way you express yourself. Now that DNotes is on an uptrend, I trust that you will stay happy for a long time. Sure it was sad for me to see people dumping DNotes at close to 3K Sat. But may be, it now time for them to feel a little sad and our turn to feel happy. Have a good day.

Thank you infovortice. We are truly unique in our industry and even reflects on our exchange markets. There have been significant changes in our market depth in the last few days. It may take us longer to get there, but our rise should be much more sustainable, built on a solid foundations of accomplishments rather than hype.

Consumer Electronics? That is a good sign. DNotes is getting increasingly more broad-base coverage. Eventually, it will lead to wide spread acceptance.

So what it such a big deal? .... It's a big deal in our case because DNotes is very strategic and systematic. We designed our strategic plans based on a system approach that requires us to go way beyond our industry so that we are aligned with our ultimate objectives. Those who know us well enough will understand that we do not just talk about big ideas and big solutions. Once we made a commitment, we map out strategic plans and allocate required resources to execute those plans at the most opportune time and as flawlessly as possible. That is a small hint on why we have been able to accomplish so much in such a short period of time with relatively limited resources.

We are indeed just getting started. By the end of this year we can comfortably say that the most important part of our ecosystem is in place with solid foundation. 2016 will be the year of significant expansion with one or more incorporated companies to take over our ecosystem, supported with various rounds of funding. I plan to be sharing some of our vision for 2016 and beyond in the coming weeks. We could be reaching the tipping point soon. It pays to read up on what DNotes is about. This is a unique situation. We are all about being the "Best In Class". We are willing to always go the extra mile and always prepared and willing to do things others will not do, so that one day we can do things others can not do. That is how DNotes will become the trusted global digital currency for everyone to participate.

We missed you, Mark. Hope you are doing well now. Let us know if there is anything we can be helpful.

Enjoy the DNotes comeback. I never doubted it. We are at the beginning of our next phase. Especially with the successfully launching of DCEBrief, we could very well be at the tipping point.

Despite all the publicity we have been getting, most people, even those within our industry, might not understand our total strategy or total package. We have constantly examined our strengths and weaknesses, as well as that of Bitcoin and our industry in general. With that we constantly developed solutions to help overcome industry problems, which often lead us to opportunities.

These are not conceptual ideas outlined in a well written white paper or a thick business plan with colorful graphs and charts. They are well conceived projects, successfully launched and well executed. The list is long and still growing.

We started out with CryptoMoms and expanded to include the first CRISP for Kids. We than built and launched DNotesVault and expanded to a whole family of CRISP for students, employees and for those concerned about their retirement. Our mission continued with the launch of DCEBrief.

All of these projects are no small tasks and they are all fully funded without any VC founding or donation from our general communities. That is the unspoken strength of DNotes, allowing us to be nimble and agile capable of responding quickly and decisively.

However, that is not all, we have awesome communities beyond what those words normally mean. Just look at what we have collective built and accomplished in less than two years, resulting in a solid trusted digital currency that anyone worldwide can participate. Most importantly, this trusted digital currency, DNotes, is supported by its own ecosystem built by a team who are dedicated to promote and protected the best interest of DNotes and our stakeholders. Once enough people discovered the uniqueness of this very special situation, it could become our tipping point. We are proud of our accomplishments. Let us spread the word.




Glad to hear your back in action, hopefully nothing too serious.

I went to a women's business bureau meeting last night. Unfortunately, not one person had even heard of digital currency. I am planning to print rack cards with a few important points about digital currency and DNotes. I plan to make a sort of grass roots effort to bring awareness of digital currency to those who have no clue what it is. Any ideas?


Forget about trying to explain the technology behind it.  It's not that they aren't capable of learning the tech, many just aren't interested in it. For women not familiar with digital currency (and even for some of us that are), p2p means nothing more than the distance to the next rest stop on a roadtrip!  However, they will be interested in what digital currency can do as an instrument of social change and women will make very powerful leaders in those areas.

Here's a possibility:

DNotes is a new global digital currency that is available to everyone worldwide.  A digital currency is simply an internet based medium of exchange, as opposed to physical cash.

DNotes is building an ecosystem of blocks that everyday people can understand.  They have savings plans for kids, students, retirement, and employee benefits.  They are also the only one to offer a safe place to store your digital currency with a 100% guarantee at DNotesVault.  They have an online cryptocurrency learning centre for women (open to everyone).   DCEBrief - news for the busy exec.

My favorite part is what it can do to include people of the world that have never been able to participate economically.  Half of the world's population doesn't have access to a bank.  Corrupt politicians and poorly run countries can make their currencies worthless.  When we support a global currency that can not be manipulated by governments, we are giving the less fortunate a chance to start a business, send their children to school, and save for their future. 

For women everywhere it is an opportunity to invest even a small amount in a very early stage investment whose potential upside is so massive, it far outweighs the risk.  With DNotes, all you need is an email address to get started.

I hope our political leaders are learning from New York's Infamous "BitLicense" what not to do.

California's Version of New York's Infamous ‘BitLicense’ Defeated in State Legislature

Just weeks after New York officially drove several major Bitcoin businesses out of the state through regulation California chose a freer path forward for digital currency in The Golden State. The equally archaic and onerous version of its own “BitLicense” wasdefeated within the state’s legislature on Friday.
California refuses to make New York’s mistakes

Few things in Bitcoin’s brief history have done as much damage to the Bitcoin ecosystem as has New York State’s infamous “BitLicense” legislation. Filled with fiery hoops for hardcore New Yorker’s to jump through, it succeeded in driving several large and successful Bitcoin out of the state. Not only were countless jobs and revenue lost, but a poor precedent was set by the regulators in the Big Apple, which is largely seen as an economic leader worldwide.

As if taken from New York’s BitLicense directly, Bill AB 1326 will make compliance as difficult and as intrusive as possible. Highlights include asking for highly irrelevant information from all partners, officers or company managers like educational background, ten years of employment history and work address.
Non-refundable application fees for a California digital currency business license would cost up to US$5,000 plus a US$2,500 annual renewal fee. One could be reduced to $500 every two years with certain qualifications, including if the commissioner deems your business to be “low or no risk to consumers.”

You can read the full proposal here, but if you read through New York’s BitLicense, you’ve pretty much got the gist of it. The new Commissioner in charge of the digital currency industry in the state, with many ties to the commercial banking industry, would have had absolute power to revoke or deny a license on a very subjective basis.

The proposal states that the “competence, experience, character or general fitness” of the licensee or any director, officer, employee, or person “in control of a license” can be deemed “not in the public interest” and be stopped from providing virtual currency services.

The bill, if it became law, would’ve gone into effect on July 1, 2016. It is currently in “inactive” status, and cannot be brought up again for consideration before January 4, 2016.

This is not helpful to our industry. The lack of clear regulatory guidance has always been a hindrance to Bitcoin's mass acceptance. At least there is one more official confirmation that Bitcoin is a commodity.  

Bitcoin Is Officially a Commodity, According to U.S. Regulator
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission makes its mark.


Virtual money is officially a commodity, just like crude oil or wheat.
So says the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which on Thursday announced it had filed and settled charges against a Bitcoin exchange for facilitating the trading of option contracts on its platform.

"In this order, the CFTC for the first time finds that Bitcoin and other virtual currencies are properly defined as commodities," according to the press release.

While market participants have long discussed whether Bitcoin could be defined as a commodity, and the CFTC has long pondered whether the cryptocurrency falls under its jurisdiction, the implications of this move are potentially numerous.

By this action, the CFTC asserts its authority to provide oversight of the trading of cryptocurrency futures and options, which will now be subject to the agency's regulations. In the event of wrongdoing, such as futures manipulation, the CFTC will be able to bring charges against bad actors.
If a company wants to operate a trading platform for Bitcoin derivatives or futures, it will need to register as a swap execution facility or designated contract market, just like the CME Group. And Coinflip—the target of the CFTC action—is hardly the only company that provides a platform to trade Bitcoin derivatives or futures.

“While there is a lot of excitement surrounding Bitcoin and other virtual currencies, innovation does not excuse those acting in this space from following the same rules applicable to all participants in the commodity derivatives markets," said Aitan Goelman, the CFTC's director of enforcement, in a statement.
Since Coinflip is not alone in providing a platform to trade Bitcoin derivatives or futures, Goelman's words imply that other unregulated exchanges could soon attract the attention of the CFTC.

As such, the CFTC is bringing dealings in Bitcoin, long prized for its anonymity, into the light. While this could help clean up U.S. trading around the product, potentially helping to avoid a repeat of the Mt. Gox escapade, it is also likely to increase the cost of doing business.

Coinflip consented to the order without admitting or denying any of its findings or conclusions.
"The cease and desist was a fair settlement," Francisco Riordan, Coinflip's chief executive officer, said in response to a request for comment. He said that customer funds had been refunded in July 2014, before the CFTC made contact with the company: "There wasn't enough trade volume for the site to sustain itself."

Bitcoin, meanwhile, has been trading sideways throughout 2015.
