There are legal exposures. We will take our time to do things right. There will come a time when others will come and knock on our door. It is always better to come from a position of strength. We just have to work a little harder if if want to get there faster. We will achieve our goals through hard work; not short cuts.

Great job infovortice2013!

Trading Notes:

DNotes has been on an uptrend for more than a week now. It has exhibited more impressive strength than I anticipated. This confirms the fact, that when it comes to high risk investment, no body can be certain of the outcome. It is impossible to incorporate all the possibilities, both positive and negative. We all need to do our research and make our own decision. However, being a high risk investment with potential high returns, it is important to be reminded that one should only invest a small amount of the total available portfolio. Typically 10% is allocated for a basket of high risk/high return investments as part of a balanced asset allocation. This practice alone could be driving some professional investors to the DNotes’ camp. It can be argued that DNotes could be a preferred choice within that basket of high risk investment. I have certainly been reading the “tea leaves” with interest to see if there is an early indication of that. At this point, it is still too early to tell.

It has been an exciting and anxious time. Like some of you I have been anxious to see where DNotes new trading range will settle. It has not settled. We do not know when or at what range it will settle. What I do know is that even the strongest bull will eventually get tired and needs a break. I don’t believe that there is an exception.

Especially in the cryptocurrency space, I am a firm believer that there are three extremely important considerations to examine.  Has the performance appreciation on record been consistent and sustainable? Is the valuation supported by fundamental values with credible growth rate? Are there efforts to pump up the price with exciting ideas without proven track records of disciplined and successful execution accomplished in the past?

Let me conclude with a real life story. When I was quite successful in the computer business in the early 1990s, many approached me for potential investment and partnership. My preference has always been to focus in one big commitment at a time. I am known to be highly focused and not very good at multi-tasking.

However, I like to give others a chance, at least polite enough to give those who tried hard a chance to present their business plan. There was a very persistence young and somehow got a third appointment to present his business plan despite being turned down twice previously. I was already a little annoyed to say the least but still tried to be respectful and listened attentively if he had anything new to add. His ideas were exciting and he came back with addition good ideas. There was nothing else beyond a bunch of “good ideas”. With no interest to meet with him for the fourth time this was what I told him. “Mr. ___, I am sure you can appreciate that I have a very busy schedule. You certainly have a lot of good ideas. However, with due respect, I must put it this way so that we don’t have to go over them for the fourth time. Good ideas are not worth much by themselves. For comparison, if you agree to buy me a cup of coffee I will pay for the tips. That is how much good ideas are worth.” I never saw that young man again.

When investing, don’t base your decision only on just exciting ideas, concepts and possibilities.  “The possibilities are limitless. Sky is the limit.” It may be the case but most likely not. Good luck.

Received the following response from ShapeShift.IO

"Thanks for contacting us. We'd need to see the currency get more daily exchange volume. There are lots of coins for us to add, so we follow the market generally."

"The establishment is fighting a tech battle against Bitcoin using technology that’s only sixty years old. It seems to be going about as well as can be expected."

My thoughts exactly. Anything we can do to ease entry into DNotes will be worth the effort.

I'm no designer but this is just something i had in my head I thought would be cool. So i designed this on custom ink and obviously could be modified. But I was thinking anyone with there own ideas should post them. In a few weeks we can decide or vote on which ones best. Then PEACEOFWAR can submit it which is an awesome idea.

This took me 20 minutes. Here's what I did- designed it on custom ink, took a photo with my phone, cropped it, posted it on postimg.org, right click on your photo and copy the URL code. This was the simplest way I could think of you guys may have a better way.

What a great find RJF, that service would be amazing if the API were integrated with the Vault. It would certainly make it much easier for holders of Bitcoin to acquire DNotes, because buy / sell walls on exchanges can be very confusing for people unfamiliar with them.

Below is a long article that appeared in Wall Street Journal today. The following caught my attention. In my previous posts I had mentioned our vision of DNotesVault being a critical part of a Global DNotes Financial network that would include a regulated exchange, a DNotes Bank and partner banks. DNotesVault depositors, to the extent of their pre-approval loan to deposit ratio can be instantly approved a loan anytime, anywhere worldwide without a bank or a third party. The funds can be immediately credited to a multiple currency debit card or a bank account.

With due respect, we may already be one step ahead of the Professor of Finance. Our strategic plans are ahead of regulations. I am quite certain that it will become a reality in four to five years. That is one more reason to save your DNotes whether it is to supplement your retirement, help pay off your student loans or for your dream vacation.

Innovative alternative currencies come with great possibilities—but also great risks

Despite the mystery, the whiff of scandal, and general public unfamiliarity with the concept, somebody out there is buying, and selling, not just bitcoin but dozens of other cryptocurrencies as well. The total market capitalization for these unregulated electronic forms of payment was roughly $4.04 billion as of mid-February, according to coinmarketcap.com, a website that tracks trading in alternative currencies. More than 500 altcoins, as they are also known, were represented on the site recently.  ……………………..


Valuing Bitcoin as a Technology

True, bitcoin isn’t backed by any central authority. But that doesn’t matter. Bitcoin exists because users assign value to it. To say it violates the rules of finance because it lacks a central issuer is problematic on many levels. Governments don't “guarantee” stability of their currencies—look at the ruble and Swiss franc. Similarly, the fair price of a bitcoin as measured by the discounted value of future cash flows may be zero. But the same is true of fiat currencies, including the euro and U.S. dollar. No commodity underpins the value of a euro or dollar. You tend to lose money when you hold cash. This doesn’t deter people from holding cash.

But forget about exchange rates for a moment. The most exciting thing about bitcoin is the technology behind it, the block chain, an online, transparent record of every transaction on every bitcoin. It is a giant electronic financial ledger that is used to authenticate each transaction and, in the process, produce more bitcoins.

The block chain’s potential reaches far beyond bitcoin the currency. It is a way to both verify ownership and to set up contracts. Imagine getting into your car. Through your mobile device, the car locates your identity code and proof of purchase in the block chain. This allows the car to start. But say you have missed three payments on your car loan. Additional terms in the block chain make sure the car will only start for the person or institution that lent you the money.

Making contracts part of a block chain would be easy by introducing “if, then” statements to the chain in computer code. Almost any financial instrument, including stocks, bonds or options, could be represented and made verifiable in such a format.

Disrupting Markets

Just as block-chain technology has created a currency that operates without need of a bank, it could help users get loans without a bank, or make investments without a broker or exchange.

Yes, the value of a bitcoin has fallen sharply over the past year. However, it is a serious mistake to judge bitcoin’s future based on the movement in the exchange rate. A better indicator is the activity of highly respected venture capitalists who are pouring money into hundreds of bitcoin- and block-chain related ventures.

It is true that bitcoin is currently too volatile to be a long-term store of value. But much of this is due to illiquidity, which is not unexpected when the technology is so new. A regulated, insured, U.S.-based bitcoin exchange opened in January that is backed by the New York Stock Exchange, which should add liquidity and reduce volatility.
