Cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a huge surge of Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) for the past 6 months, though a lot of experts call it another bubble. Let’s take a closer look at this phenomenon.
When Bitcoin first appeared, nobody took it seriously. They said if one had to choose between a hamburger and a Bitcoin, he’d prefer a hamburger.
Today 1 BTC equals $10,000 and keeps on gaining its weight. Following good old Bitcoin success, a lot of other cryptocurrencies appeared. Ether and Litecoin are almost as much popular as BTC and tend to grow rapidly. This positive trend motivates startups to present their own tokens.
Initial Coin Offering became an easy way to raise funds for a startup in comparison with a standard crowdfunding campaign or a venture capital investment. VCs rigorously examine your busines plan, roadmaps and graphs, and in the end they always say pretty much the same: “you’re too early for us - show $1M revenue per year and the fund will invest $10M”. Certainly, it’s a prerogative of any venture fund to protect the money it invests, but then again it’s a vicious circle. Any young startup is in need of early financing to go off at a dash in the very beginning. With no early-stage investment any brilliant idea or software takes a risk to fail.
In this case ICO is a great chance to make the wheel spin, because ICO isn’t just the mechanism for new coin issue - it’s the fundraising process for a startup too. And the best part of it is that a startup doesn’t sell its shares at all. Venture capitalists usually take a big part of shares in return of their investment and often interfere in a startup’s development strategy. VCs want fast profitable return of their investments during a short period of time, and for that reason they often push founders of a startup to an exit. The before-mentioned scheme is impossible in ICO.
A lot has been said lately about the necessity of cryptomarket regulations, but sure enough there’s nothing more than banks crediting less and venture capitalists getting less investment proposals behind those regulations. If there’s a demand on something, there will always be a supply. It’s a simple rule of economics. Today young startups can hardly break the VCs’ wall, and therefore ICO is a shorter way to the successful fundraising.

Freight-matching startup Doft pitches virtual "Doftcoins" to industry players.
One of the latest entrants into the crowded "Uber for trucking" sector is taking a creative tack to raise funds: selling shares in its own "cryptocurrency," a type of virtual electronic money similar to Bitcoin or Ethereum.
The company, Doft, is a Walnut, Calif.-based tech startup that says its mobile app can reduce deadhead miles, automatically locate backhaul cargo, and help shippers move unplanned urgent freight. The company joins a crowd of recent entries to the freight-matching marketplace that includes Haulme LLC, XYpper Technologies Inc., Transfix, 10-4 Systems Inc., Cargomatic Inc., and UberFreight.
To stand out from the pack, the founders of Doft (an acronym for "Do Freight Transportation") are raising money in a way that past generations could not have imagined. The firm held an "initial coin offering" (ICO) in October, in which it created its own currency—called Doftcoins (DFC)—then sold them to buyers like truck drivers, third-party logistics service providers (3PLs), and freight shippers.
Launching an ICO allows a firm to seek funding from the general public, rather than dealing strictly with venture capitalists. The strategy works best when large crowds line up to buy shares, so Doft sweetened the deal by offering anyone who bought Doftcoins in October a 50-percent premium on their investment as well as a lifetime of 0-percent commissions—worth an average of $100 per load—on all freight booked through the Doft platform.
So the next time you see a tractor-trailer cruising down the highway, remember that the driver behind the wheel may also be a high-flying financial speculator.

Driverless delivery vehicles will be the future of trucking, but what is the trucking industry doing to stay competitive during this disruptive transition?
The US trucking industry is currently valued at about $800 billion annually, but with the rise of autonomous or driverless delivery vehicles, those in the industry must learn to adapt or become irrelevant.
To find out how trucking companies are responding to this digital transformation, I reached out to Dmitri Fedorchenko, CEO of Doft, whose mission is to disrupt the trucking industry by providing an Uber-like service that connects suppliers directly with truckers in their area.
My concern was that this type of service has greatly benefited the trucking industry for the present, but how would Doft respond to the rise of driverless delivery vehicles question?
Fedorchenko’s response was refreshing, and instead of trying to fight the coming wave of disruption, his company is in a unique position to greatly benefit from it while still remaining one of the industry’s most influential thought leaders.
“I’m sure that we’re not competitors with self-driving truck manufactures but partners,” Fedorchenko explains, adding, “I am, as the CEO of Doft, highly convinced that Tesla, Otto and Nikola will become our partners in the future and will integrate Doft into their on-board navigation system; making their trucks not only autonomous but smart and profitable.”
With nearly 1.7 million Americans working in the trucking industry, the switch to driverless delivery trucks has many concerned about massive job losses as the average truck driver relies on an average salary of $42,500, according to the Huffington Post.
However, Fedorchenko recognizes that driverless trucks will be efficient for long hauls, but for city-driving and actual door-to-door deliveries, there will still be human operators.
“Think of driverless trucks as robots following your orders,” he says. “Of course there’ll always be an operator (driver) somewhere around to help trucks maneuver in the city. On highways these robots will work as autopilots like in airplanes. Having said this, we understand that trucks are useless when they don’t have jobs to do and freight to move. Doft targets owner operators and independent ‘freelance’ drivers who will need a marketplace where they can easily find loads for robots (self-driving trucks). Or one can even imagine that robots themselves can bid on some loads if they know they will be empty soon.”
Whether jobs are lost or gained, those in the trucking industry know that deliveries and shipments will always be in demand, and it’s just a matter of how well these companies can adapt to the changing times.
According to Supply Chain Digest, driverless delivery vehicles may not be the end of jobs after all, but rather provide more opportunities for employees to make local deliveries while diversifying their job roles to give better customer service and offer new sales positions while the autonomous vehicles perform the heavy lifting tasks.
For Doft, the CEO says, “Doft will turn smartphones and trucks into a working tool earning money to their owners at the same time making transportation process safe, reliable and efficient.”
He went on to add, “We have already started negotiations with some companies which work in this space to find how Doft can be useful for this 21st century technology. Doft is solving real problems of small businesses and independent truckers. Every dollar spent on logistics is then added to the final price of the product.”
FedEx is already reportedly investing in rolling robot couriers to deliver goods from the trucks to the customers’ front doors and back to the trucks again, which goes to show how rapid this disruption is progressing.
Fedorchenko said that Doft will not deny this incoming wave of disruptive technology, but rather embrace it, and that big players will need to adapt their solutions to fit this market as well.

Everybody knows, that the US trucking industry needs some changes to be made.
The industry is growing dynamically, but the operations are still done in an old-school manner.
Nothing wrong with it, except the time and the efforts spent to organize the freight moving.
Sure, when Uber has launched its cab service there were a lot of hopes, that this model, adopted to the trucking will blow up the industry. And now a huge lot of startups rushed into this niche. But what do we see?
The 1st effort to create an Uber for trucking was Cargomatic. They tried hard, but they have failed to disrupt the industry. And the situation stays uncertain until now.
Now there are at least a dozen startups, that are trying to create an uber for trucking, but no one has succeeded. Why is it so? The answer is plain to see – the uber cab model doesn’t work for the trucks. At all.
When we think about the new way of working, we imagine the free to use, simple, user-friendly solution suitable for every type of business involved into the logistics chain. And certainly, the solution should make the business processes much easier and quicker, still without breaking the habits of people, who do this job every day.
The startups, calling themselves the uber for trucks are reinventing the way, US trucking is operating now.
Sure it doesn’t suit brokers, who hold 90% of the whole transportation market. Other companies are trying to create a highly automated freight brokerage. It’s just like packing an old-school stuff into a hi-tech cover. But it is still a brokerage, that cuts commissions, and the drivers do not like it, mainly because they do not like brokers at all, and secondly because not all of them are not really confident with all these smartphones and IT stuff.
Some of companies are trying to look at the problem from the truck driver side. So, they develop the apps for the truckers, which appear to be nothing, but an old-school load board redesigned for a mobile.
As we see there is no complex solution suitable the Shippers/Brokers and Carriers equally.
Except DOFT.
The model used by Doft is equally good for every type of business. The business processes are not reinvented or altered. They are just much easier to perform.
What Doft does even cannot be called the Brokerage. The service is free to all the parties, so it helps saving money.
And surely, Doft does not reinvent the way, the US trucking industry should operate. Doft solves some key problems of trucking.
1 We all know that the truckers usually move empty about 30% of their time. Or loose time waiting for a next load. Doft helps to reduce the dead head mileage mainly with the Doft prediction algorithm. It will provide the driver information about the available freight at the the destination point right while booking the direct freight.
2 The problem with payments also exists. Now the common practice is to pay the motor carrier 14 to 60 days after the load is moved. It may be OK for some big fleets, but it is certainly not as good for owner operators, who count every dollar. So Doft is also working on this problem. And the main remedy can be an introduction of the crypto currency. So, the shippers who pay in doftcoins will get a discount. The drivers will get an opportunity to mine doftcoins and to pay for the goods and services in the doft store. So even moving empty will do some profit.
The industry is growing dynamically, but the operations are still done in an old-school manner.

As we see there is no complex solution suitable the Shippers/Brokers and Carriers equally.
Except DOFT.
The model used by Doft is equally good for every type of business. The business processes are not reinvented or altered. They are just much easier to perform.
What Doft does even cannot be called the Brokerage. The service is free to all the parties, so it helps saving money.
And surely, Doft does not reinvent the way, the US trucking industry should operate. Doft solves some key problems of trucking.
1 We all know that the truckers usually move empty about 30% of their time. Or loose time waiting for a next load. Doft helps to reduce the dead head mileage mainly with the Doft prediction algorithm. It will provide the driver information about the available freight at the the destination point right while booking the direct freight.
2 The problem with payments also exists. Now the common practice is to pay the motor carrier 14 to 60 days after the load is moved. It may be OK for some big fleets, but it is certainly not as good for owner operators, who count every dollar. So Doft is also working on this problem. And the main remedy can be an introduction of the crypto currency. So, the shippers who pay in doftcoins will get a discount. The drivers will get an opportunity to mine doftcoins and to pay for the goods and services in the doft store. So even moving empty will do some profit.
The ICO round starts soon, so use your chance to join Doft bounty campaign!
Doesn't seem like there is much interest in Doft. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because these reasons.
1. Truckers are not technical people. They don't care about cryptocurrency.
2. Every trucker has a smartphone and uses whatever app they find in the market to find loads.
3. Most truckers don't find their own loads or have their own authority.
4. Trucking companies don't use brokers because they typically don't pay or they take forever to pay. If it is a business they are hauling for they have to pass credit checks since most loads are not prepaid.
5. 10% fee? Where is the savings?
6. Only 400,000 truckers are independents
The list goes on...

Thank you for your opinion!
still:
1 they do not care until they earn some. Imagine If you receive a message like you have earned 3 doftcoins and you can spend them in the doft store - you will care.
2 That is the reason to use Doft too
3 That is why Doft works on a dispatcher tool
4 Brokers hold 90% of the whole freight market. Truckers use brokers (though they do not like them) and will be using them further.
5 All the fees are removed. The app is FREE to use.
6 That is great. and remember that about 500 000 Motor carriers have up to 6 trucks. the niche is really huge)
Would like to comment on another questions from your list
Thank you one more time!
