Switched to self-moderated thread? With no activity.
* btcminer021 thinks this thing is dead

Dear Btcminer,

It partly because i want a single place to operate from in regards to posts however there was also a request from some of the asset holders that i create a self moderated thread to manage trolls they will still be free to post here if they like.

In all honesty I have never deleted a post from someone else so far and unless it is totally biased I won't pull down a negative comment. For us learning and improving is a key part of our business model.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please let me know.

Kind Regards,

CVFS

The investments continue to pour in at this point, the initial-IPO seems to have been just about finished off. If you're bullish on crypto in the long term then CryptoVest is the gift that will keep on giving. Read their prospectus on page uno to get a full read.

^Lol, shares are still available @ "special pre-IPO price."
Chef Ramsay, if not an inside guy for this hilarity, has made another spectacular investment.  On par with "I'm a producer, honey" Kyle's camwhoring business.
Have a free bump for your thread--judging by the posts, no one but you & Chef reads it Smiley

That is a good point! I should probably thank you for that. It's true at least you got me talking again and you seem to have a sense of humor yourself.

Whats your background ?

How do you know what Chef has invested in ?

And for those who do actually read this thread (if any) here is a link to the platforms you can currently use to buy shares

In response to Lambchop

Plz tell me you're both joking.
I refuse to believe that even Chef Ramsay, who "invested" in just about every scam on these august fora, is this gullible.




...time passes...



...maybe now?  Lol NO Cheesy



Dear NotLambchop,

I hope you're well.

First those offers and discounts were all available and Chef along with other investors were able to get bonus shares when they purchased early. (This offer has ended and is no longer available) As mentioned in the quote you used. When you also take into account dividends that means that part of their total investment has been covered.

 If not for Chef, who took the time to read our prospectus, I don't think i would have had the confidence to take things this far so i want to give a big shout out and thanks to him and all early stage investors coming in at this stage. There is alot of crap out there but if you don't take calculated risks you won't find the ruff diamonds.

Unfortunately you are correct we certainly did not sell all the shares as quickly as i anticipated however there are now only 5,944 of those shares left at 0.0012. When they are all gone that's it, after that the next batch will indeed be sold for 0.0015 btc per share

If you check coinsortium the price is 0.01 btc per share and we had listed on Crypto - Trade for 0.002 per share.

Our future listings will range from 0.002 - 0.05 btc per share

I hope that clears that up for you.

If you have any questions drop us an email at [email protected]

Monthly dividend paid a few days ago, not bad for a startup. You can keep tabs on this outfit on cryptostocks.
I'd also like to point out that the first dividend was an accumulation of the past 4-5 months as they got things up and running. The latest one is just from the most recent month's activities which is why it's smaller.

However it is true after alot of hard work we are generating income and we will be pushing to hitting our original fund raising target.

So if you are interested in being a part of Cryptovest Financial Services and bringing a regulated hedge fund to the buy side investment world then give us your support

We know your time is precious, so we’ll be quick

1. It is inappropriate for you, who is a competitor in the bitcoin securities market, to maintain a list of scammers.

2. You have me and my companies on your ridiculous list despite the fact that we are shipping about 50oz of silver a month (we just shipped another 14 oz. today -- see TU.SILVER thread) and that BMF has been increasing hashrate by more than 40% a month for the last few months.*

3. * based on the word of fluffypony, a known scammer (see here for example).

4. ** Who, despite me giving this info to you, has not appeared on your list

5. You did not respond when I asked you what the procedure was to be removed from your list.

Serious question: Are you biased? And if so, how can we trust you as an investment manager?

This is gonna be a hot one once it gets rolling as they have a very diversified business model and a talented staff. Great share prices right now and these will definitely feature a nice dividend w/ upwardly mobile future share earnings. Got a nice stake.

I have a question do you like the audio or would you prefer me to stop and just leave it as text ?

I'd guess both would be good as some holders might prefer the personalized audio but I'm cool w/ the text. I'm usually posting and reading on the fly at work or elsewhere so it's easier for me to just gaze over something, internalize it and then move on. Smiley

Slightly off topic, but why CT?  I've interested in this but I don't trust them.  Havelock would be better I feel.

Just my .02

Dear Damiano,

I hope your well.

While I personally have nothing against havelock however I was not impressed with the way they dealt with the NEO & BEE situation. I have mentioned a few times that they were aware of the problems with NEO & BEO months in advanced they informed me of their concerns over Skype and yet did nothing to inform share holders.

On top of that while it is much easier to raise money on havelock they charge higher fee's which results in a lower return to investors ( if the company is a start up). A bitcoin a month to havelock is a bitcoin a month that could be paid in dividends. We may list there in the future if we feel the need however my concern at the moment is maximizing investor returns.

In reality all the exchange does is enable us to list our shareholders and allow our shareholders once the IPO is active to trade their shares at our current size  it's just not feasible to pay so much for that service. Other companies get investment from havelock directly so they can afford to list they also get a reduction in fee's ours would not.

While many of the companies of CS are not the best(understatement) and the customer service is almost non existent Cryptostocks themselves do not actively promote any of their companies. I tell people to follow to simple rules on CS 1. don't hold any bitcoin on your wallet on CS other then to buy shares and 2. always make sure you make your email address visible to the companies you invest in.


I hope that answers your question, if you have anymore don't hesitate to ask.

I would like a couple of questions answered.

On the side note, I'm not here to cause a ruckus or accuse anybody of anything. But any legitimate business would welcome questions and should be able to answer them accordingly.


1) Who wrote the prospectus?

2) Why does the prospectus have more or less the same layout and wording as NeoBee’s prospectus?


Cryptovest Prospectus: http://www.cryptovest.co.uk/resources/VIPO%20Full%20%20v1.2.pdf

Here's a quick example: NeoBee (page 54) on the left / Cryptovest (page 39) on the right.


Dear WhiteHatGekko,

I'm glad you noticed good question, first please listen to this audio note on NEO  http://www.phoenixinvestor.co.uk/cryptovest.php  "Questions and statement on NEO"

1.) Our prospectus was originally created for Havelock and the template they provided is almost identical to what NEO would have used at the time hence the similarities.

2.) I wrote it all with my team however I did base the structure on their prospectus.

As i mention in the audio i was inspired at the time this company at one point had over $62 million usd in holdings enough to create a half a billion property portfolio , or start an airline or even set up a real bank.

So while I am not ashamed to reference that they inspired me to get started, its important to note that we have no affiliation with them or Havelock. Our business model is different and so is our team.

Our focus on corporate governance , transparency and ethics is not something you will find in their prospectus.

I hope that answer's your question if you have any more please don't hesitate to ask.

No need to apologise for asking questions. Wink

Yeah, I'm really happy about this venture and am pleased w/ the way the biz plan is laid out in such a thoughtful manner. I just reread the plan again and it was pleasure reading. The amount of services being offered across the board makes me bullish on this endeavor and am a proud shareholder. If people haven't read the plan through thoroughly or took a cursory glance, I highly recommend going through it w/ a fine toothed comb. The team of people involved here is top shelf which makes me enthusiastic about its future. If you see what I see, this is a great venture to get on board w/.

Dear st4nl3y,

I hope you're well.

We will not start the IPO until we have raised enough funds to begin paying sustainable dividends. Our target was July/August however we may push this back.

We will start paying dividends around July/August  depending on if we reach our first round target.

Our first funding round to angel investors is for 120 BTC.

If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask are you getting the weekly updates on our progress?

Do they know what the account is for? I would be surprised but glad if they do. If not nearer to launch we'll help you out with getting a more permanent solution and sort out a corporate account for you on the exchange.

You appear to be using your personal bank account to manage this.

Thats an excellent way to get your funds seized under POCA.

It might work short term but you need a more permanent solution.

Dear Mr WDunne,

I hope your well.

It is a corporate business bank account not a personal account. I will change the name and details at a later date.

I will change the account name at a later date. We will be incorporating very strict anti money laundering procedures as we have no interest in illegal activities.

We will be using this site to buy from exchanges like yours on behalf of customers.

Today is last call for "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" (>50) so y'all better load up before happy hour ends. I presume we're on UK timing which is roughly ~5 hrs ahead of US est.

That offer has now ended a big thank you to everyone who has decided to get involved so far.

We have decided to extend the offer  Its now buy 3 get 1 free (>60) until the 26th.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Shareholders,

I hope your well.


While we have not yet reached our target do have enough to go on a mini offline marketing campaign after the 26th. We will post some pictures of our work in central London online.

We provide weekly updates of our progress and a mini audit of our accounts by email if you request it we will give you access to our Google drive with a historical report of these activities. (Warning this would mean others would be able to see your email address.

Otherwise we will send you one each week by email.

Dear Crypto Wine it is not yet possible to invest directly into our property portfolio only. The only way to gain exposure is to buy shares any rental income generated will just be paid out in dividends.

Kr,

P.S

I will be taking a trip to the US next year would be great to meet some of you guys ^^!

Of course if you come to the UK as a shareholder you will be free to stay at one of the safe houses.

I recently called up and spoke to Steve of the Cryptovest team their prospectus is a big read but I really think they will make the business work.

The business model is different i like the focus on small brokers instead of big exchanges.

There was one thing I wanted to ask how are you going to sell to investors offline how will that affect investors who have already bought shares online ?


Dear Biboking,

I hope your well.

I heard you spoke to Steve and he advised you to ask any more questions you might have on this forum and I encourage you to continue there are some really nice people here who can teach you all about crypto currencies this is even where I started learning back in the day.

So an offline investor like yourself will still follow the same procedure as an online investor. In that you still end up owning CVFS shares listed on an exchange. We simply help you with the entire process and set up an account for you if you prefer. You can also opt to have and set up your own account.

In regards to how. We have a large network of investors I have to tell you that offline investors pay a small premium on online investors to over the cost of sales & Marketing. They also receive a few added benefits such as auto dividend reinvestment.

Kr,

Malcolm O

Dear Re think,

I hope your well.

Alot of our investors are new to the crypto space as in completely new.

We hope to give them a warm welcome. We advertise the bitcointalk forum as a place to give feedback while we don't have a blog of our own. So i hope you can have a bit of mercy on them.

I recently called up and spoke to Steve of the Cryptovest team their prospectus is a big read but I really think they will make the business work.

The business model is different i like the focus on small brokers instead of big exchanges.

There was one thing I wanted to ask how are you going to sell to investors offline how will that affect investors who have already bought shares online ?

Hello newly created Bitcointalk account with only 1 post! Thanks for your input, but nobody gives a fuck because nobody knows who you are. Go jump off a bridge, and have a great day!

Dear William,

I am certainly not free until June,

If you raise all the funding by then then that's great and I hope you do.

Otherwise we will add your shares to our portfolio it would be useful to have exposure to another local exchange.

They sent me an email saying that they will invest in us. And we should Invest in you.

So i guess it might be good to meet up in a few weeks and see if there are any synergies.

Kr,

That response works well for me. I am more than happy to meet up with you. Thursdays or Fridays are best for me.

However in a few weeks we could not be seeking any more investment (thats not definite, but we might not).

Best,

Yes they have agreed to provide working capital for our brokers on any approved exchange partners however they want to focus back into investing into equities and property.

When I set it up there was four of us but there's a new Investment Manager and president its run by students from Warwick and Coventry University. When I left it had almost 180 members I know it has more then 240 today.

I actually think the NEO & MT GOX events scared them away from Bitcoin a little bit. Also their Alt portfolio was only meant to be 25% and when I was leading it increased to almost 50% because of our Crypto holdings. Since its a University fund with lots of graduates wanting to try out lots of strategies I decided to step down so i could focus on crypto ones.

Do you have their contact details? I would be interested in gaining some investment from themselves.

Dear Anotheranonlol,

I hope your well.

1. Our funding target on Cryptostocks is 120 BTC.
2. Our 18,300 is the maximum amount of BTC that we can raise before our capital starts limiting our ability to provide the projected returns without a major shift in our business model.
3. We will be raising money offline as well our offline sales will go into shares on Cryptostocks.
4. Our sales team will keep selling shares until the target is reached ( they will be cold calling) once the IPO begins those investors will be buying shares at a higher price

If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for the feedback ill be sure to make that clear on the prospectus.

Kr,

Malcolm O

I've literally scanned through, not even skimmed so can't really give you any useful input right now. but there is no chance you'd raise anywhere close to 18,300 listing on cryptostocks.

Dear Crypto Wine,

I hope your well.

Yes we are currently finalising the documentation on the property Investment side but here are the basics

Property Investment Manager Andy Adewale http://www.andyadewale.com/gallery.php

We are very lucky to have Andy and his team to help manage and select our properties for us he has years of experience and is semi retired. He also has a vast property Investment portfolio himself including more then 50 residential properties in the UK

Investment strategy


Capital gain - Our cryptosafe houses in London will be focused towards taking advantage of rising property values in London and act as our offices.

Income generation - Our rental properties will be based around and outside of london where yields can be as high as 11% pa ( not include leverage)

Education

Our properties in student areas will also have Cryptovest branding on the properies as we look to educate people about the crypto market.


Leverage


Leverage- due to our relationships with certain banks we are able to get very good terms on our mortgages magnifying our returns we will however look to minimise our risk (Leverage) untill we have purchased our first three properties.

Dear GT,

I hope your well.

Yes we do. 

I cannot give you the full documented results on a granular basis because the full information involves client accounts and I am no longer the manager of this fund. However I will do the best I can Wink

Investment fund/ brokerage

Direct from their portfolio summary  since 2011

Our original investment club Littlephoenix achieved returns of

"
Annual Rate of Return      2011    2012    2013    2014
combined ledger    15.5%   13.14%    60.36%    101.36%

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is equivalent to the interest rate on an annual or monthly basis that you would need to receive on cash contributions, to achieve the combined or selected portfolio value. When calculating the IRR values the last trading day of the month or year are used to determine the monthly or annual IRR chart values respectively. The table values above display the trailing IRR values based on the end date; for example the '3 mths' column calculates the IRR for the three months leading up to the end date. "

Please note "First this portfolio also held traditional securities including stocks and bonds as well as bitcoin and one property"

We began applying the brokerage part of the business to our crypto trading strategy during 2013 to test our business model. This proved to me that there was an opportunity by 2013 almost 60% of our profit came from our crypto strategy.

and it was in 2014 that I decided to quit my job at Lloyds bank to do this full time.

If you have skype i'd be happy to go through this with you in more detail or pm me your email and ill send you some of our audit trails from our transactions back in the day when we were testing the water.


It should be noted that the fund is also backing this venture.

Our websites are still being updated and developed we are using the funds raised here to improve them and act as seed capital to get the businesses started.

Kr,

Malcolm O

Called out of curiosity as some of the numbers dumbfounded me.

The post could have been better explained (I believe they are about to update it) however what I can confirm is that the business plan is viable and they do know about appropriate regulations. I can't comment much more on it however that much I can say confidently.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background and USP


Our team started investing in Bitcoin back in 2013 our focus was low risk strategies and the idea of mixing broking with trading to reduce risk.

We are now looking to take this proven strategy to the next level by raising capital to act as seed capital into our investment fund and working capital for our brokerage. Almost 80% of the funds raised are not used up or consumed but used to make more money.

Many of us come from a banking background and are familiar with using derivatives, specifically exploiting miss pricing, this lead us to begin offering crypto hedging services we can currently hedge customers BTC and LTC transactions with 100% efficiency a very useful tool for large miners. A successful raise would allow us to move from over the counter transactions to a platform based hedging and broker service.

Finally we would be the first crypto business with a live multi purpose sales team. Our retail sales team will cold call new customers to educate them on our investment opportunities and sell crypto live on the streets of London to retail investors. While our institutions team will focus on targeting larger more sophisticated investors.

Feasibility test and Profit History


This was the revenue generated when testing the brokerage business model to check feasibility. We were given a small amount of capital and all profit was given back to Little Phoenix Investors. Customers and testimonials can be found on facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/bitcoinlitecoin/  my FB is Malcolm Malcy ( no website back then)

Aug 2013 - £248
Sep 2013 - £450
Oct 2013 - £853
Nov 2013 - £1640
Dec 2013 - £2412

I then decided to stop to set up Cryptovest




Investment Management

CryptoVest Investment Management (CVIM) will create and sell cryptographic currency related Investment products. Two of these products will include an asset management company targeted to crypto Investors and a hedge fund. The hedge fund will be regulated in London by the FCA targeted towards High Net worth, Family office and Institutional Investors all over the world.
 
The fund products will offer Investors the ability to have an actively managed exposure to cryptographic currencies instead of a purely passive holding. It will diversify portions of the profits generated into additional crypto-currencies and ventures helping to build and sustain the market. The funds’ hedging will generate revenue even during market downturns by utilising derivatives, providing liquidity to the brokerage and trading operations.
 
Prospectus Page 9


Sales & Trading  

 
Crypto4me (C4M) is our flagship crypto-voice brokerage focused on providing white label umbrella services supporting the small over the counter brokers (OTC) setting up shop around the world. The C4M sales team is also responsible for marketing and selling crypto currencies directly to new investors.
 
We will take away the pain, small brokers face by leveraging our Banking infrastructure, automating trades and managing the brokers’ liquidity allowing them to focus on finding and educating new customers.
 
Customers will also be able to trade crypto-currencies through our brokers offline and online via a brokerage platform directly. Our services also include hedging large transactions removing market risk and increase market stability. They can also come to any of our crypto safe-houses to learn more about crypto-currencies from a personal adviser. Finally our brokerage, C4M will cross-sell different investment products and services to our customers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sources of Revenue & Investor Returns
 
CVFS is unique in that it can generate income both externally (Sales) from serving customers directly and internally (Trading & Investing) by taking positions within our investment fund.




Internal Revenue

The primary source of revenue is from our investment funds will be performance fees.

•    Property Investments yielding a 10-20 % Pa and projected capital gains of 5% Pa
•    Crypto Investment Fund uses information and data to trade projected yields of 3.5% a month

External Revenue

Our secondary source of revenue will be from our market-making services:

•    Management fees on active Investment products to investors yield 2% pa and 20%  performance fees.
•    Passive SIPP (UK) and (401k (US) Investment products provide 0.5% pa and 3% transaction fees.
•    Our active sales team C4ME will charge commissions on over the counter brokerage transactions, Hedging transactions and white label services sales at 4-10%.

Dividends paid out to shares come from our retained profits. It's important to note that our
focus moves from capital gains in the first year to more reliable and sustainable income
generation in the second year.


Compliance
 
Our business will operate under a form of quasi-regulation. We specifically highlight that while we support integrity and the benefits of regulation we have no intention to be tied down by it.

While many parts of our business operate freely from regulatory restrictions, we also have parts that are fully regulated by the FCA and SEC. Our pension based investment products will be fully regulated, based on the jurisdictions these products are marketed to.

Our business is suited to adapting to shifts in regulation and this is an area we will watch very carefully.
It is important to note that we will steer very clear away for any illegal activities and we believe our customers can protect their identities without us breaking the law of the jurisdictions we operate in.
 
Marketing Strategy brief description
 
Initially we will utilise small marketing and networking strategies targeted towards both the cryptographic economy and the non-crypto economy. While our primary infrastructure is getting set up we will advertise just enough to match the demand we can handle. Finally, once our systems are complete we will move out with a large marketing campaign focusing on advertising our services.


Areas we will target:

Investment shows and Exhibitions
Educational seminars and Events
Private and Corporate investment institutions
Press Campaign
Online Campaign
Outdoor activity


CryptoVest will expand the marketing budget periodically as the business grows.
