Best of luck at the World Funding Summit guys, I know you'll do great.
Thanks! Made it to LA. View from the hotel
Getting ready and excited for tomorrow.
You may have heard this already, but since I have been avoiding the news & social media trying to get some work done, I just found this today.
‘Buy Bitcoin’ Overtakes ‘Buy Gold’ as Online Search Phrase - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-07/bitcoin-rally-is-eroding-gold-s-appeal-top-online-vaulter-says
I can't wait until Metal upgrades their wallet to include fiat. It's a bit of a game changer in this regard. Very big for mass adoption. I'm not sure of the timeline for that, though.
The added steps of first having to buy bitcoin and then transfer it to an exchange, has been a real stumbling block for the everyday first time user. It is great to see that C-Cex offers the option of U.S. dollar deposits. Does anyone have any experience with any of these payment/deposit methods that you could share with us?
Just a word of warning if you haven't had your morning coffee. I received a fake Poloniex email this morning. My first clue that it was fake was when they said "hello" - lol. It has always bothered me that Poloniex has never listed their email address, but I'm positive it's not "[email protected]" - that was my second clue.
I didn't open it, so this is all I read: "Security Improvements - Hello, The Poloniex team in connection with frequent hacker attacks wants to incr...."
Have a great day everyone.
p.s. I receive these garbage emails daily, but this is the first fake Poloniex one.
Good to know. Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen one in my inbox but it probably just went to spam.

The hackers are getting complacent, they could have done better than that!

I'm looking forward to seeing the videos -- be sure to take lots of photos that can be shared here while you're there! I know you'll both be meeting and greeting with many industry people, and making some great personal connections.

That's AWESOME! I'm looking forward to reading about how it goes. I'm thinking I better stock up on some more DNotes before the big event
Thank you, Chase. Joe and I will do our best to represent DNotes. We appreciate your support and trust that many of you in our community will help keep this forum engaged and enlightened. Thanks.

Good luck at the Summit, I know you will both do DNotes proud.
When Alan first told us he was attending the World Funding Summit, I took a look at their website, speakers, schedule, etc. At that time "ICO, Cryptocurrency, & Blockchain" was one of three key tracks and one of eight topics to be covered. Now it is part of almost every discussion scheduled on Day 1 and the entire Day 2 is dedicated to "ICO: All You Need To Know". WOW. DNotes is still the only cryptocurrency that has a team presence there (as far as I know).
ICO: All You Need To Know
"Let’s look beyond the hype – Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) have raised hundreds of million dollars in a remarkably short time frame, have removed geographical borders and conveyed liquidity as the greatest promise. What we are witnessing is one of the greatest drives forward that technology can bring to a venture financing system. But the emerging system has attracted an overflow of bad actors and this has stimulated questions about its trustworthiness and what its future application is. Join us for a deep dive to learn about ICOs and meet some of the most active players, financiers, international experts and attorneys. The future of finance has arrived – now how do YOU want to shape it?" - http://worldfundingsummit.com/schedulefull-day2-2-2-2
It will be very interesting to hear what the international experts and attorneys have to say about the legality issues facing ICOs, and any advice they may have in building one that can stand up to legal scrutiny.
Alan is speaking on Day one:
ICO & CRYPTOCURRENCY INTRODUCTORY TRACK: HERE COMES THE FUTURE
It is official – the amount raised via Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) has surpassed earliest-stage venture capital so far in 2017. The current venture financing system is extremely complex and a new decentralized financial system is set to remove layers of intermediation while rewarding those new ventures which are fully capable of leveraging their network effects. Will the system mature to serve as a reliable financing tool while eliminating bad actors?
KEY DISCUSSION POINTS (DEBATE):
• Basics: Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Token Crowdfunding, Smart Contracts, DAO, ICO
• What kind of companies/industries might think of staging ICOs?
• How to evaluate risks in investing in ICOs and cryptocurrencies and spot bad actors?
•Who is who in the new emerging industry: main players, platforms and service providers
• Legal landscape, rules in the U.S./world and what’s next
Fascinating stuff! Good luck Alan.

Well said. Nice explanation. I like 2 a lot. I have always hated the accredited investing rule. No, I'm not rich. But yes, I am astute enough to understand the risks I take. So why can't I?
For example, I was desperate to invest into Facebook a year or two before it went public. It was worth $10b at the time, with shares trading on SecondMarket at about a $15b valuation. Pretty steep markup to get in. But I wanted in bad. Only, I'm not accredited. My Dad is, and so I wrote up a 4 page investment thesis. He didn't do so. And obviously there was nothing I could do with the little capital I had at the time. Facebook is like 30x-40x those market cap levels now. And I missed only because I'm not already rich.
This is a huge reason I love crypto so much. It's going to disrupt so much of our world, just like social platforms and cell phones did before it. But this time, nobody except for myself gets to determine what I do. I set my own risk params, and the government can't tell me what to do because I'm not already rich.
Glad to see this ethic possibly extending out to the underlying corporate entities, and not just to tokens themselves.
Certainly understand the frustration in that situation MiningHabit and it is unfortunate that you were unable to invest. You could have gone to the casino, or bought lottery tickets with whatever money you had planned to invest and that would have been perfectly legal. I don't believe the amount of money you make should dictate your ability to invest. For example, I was desperate to invest into Facebook a year or two before it went public. It was worth $10b at the time, with shares trading on SecondMarket at about a $15b valuation. Pretty steep markup to get in. But I wanted in bad. Only, I'm not accredited.

Like a lot of the rules of commerce within our republic of capitalism, this one skews toward the rich. one instance I got right. But I was unable to execute.
But yeah, I'm totally allowed to go onto e-trade, and trade options 'til the cows come home. Higher risk, higher variance, far more complex instruments. But I'm allowed to make those bets with no questions asked. But nope. Can't simply buy equity in growth companies on private markets. Lots of rules have been relaxed here of late, which is great (and there are great fundraising platforms like republic.co that are enabling these kinds of investments by the hoi polloi like us). But fat lot of good that does me in terms of positions I wanted to take a decade ago.
And yes, I lost my shirt in my early 20s playing that options game. Hopefully that disabuses any thread lurkers of any notion that I'm preaching as a guru by only sharing shit I got right, haha. Go big or go home. I unfortunately went home, and it set the development of my financial life back by 3-5 years.
Blah, /rant
This is totally why I love cryptos so much too. I too have been priced out of being able to make investments that might have actually made my life better because like you I wasn't already rich. But with crypto, I got to try out some of the things that in the fiat world only rich people get to do. I've loaned to margin traders, I've invested in microloans all over the world, I've bought speculative coins, I've participated in ICOs, and probably a few other things I'm forgetting about. I've also gotten to interact directly with industry leaders like Dyna and really learn the ropes. And I never ever had to put up any more money than I could risk given my financial state. On paper I've lost thousands and also gained thousands more. I would consider myself to have been successful with crypto, and just to give you an example I'm seriously considering sending my son to one of those exclusive Montessori schools that a few years ago would have been impossible due to the high tuition. Now, it's like, OK, what do I have to sell to make this work? But more important than the financial success is the fact that I have been able to learn so much about finances and how it works through the hands-on playground that is crypto. You can't put a price tag on that.
Interesting. I'm not terribly well-versed on individual country capital controls, but the capital controls in NZ are a touch onerous, right? Or have they improved since the BitNZ closure earlier this year?
The main issue in NZ has been bank support to facilitate the exchange process -- I'm not sure what bank cryptopia use, or whether they've had their accounts closed at the banks they bank with. Most banks in NZ have (officially) stated that they have no problem with people purchasing and selling bitcoin for personal use (lie), but they state that they will close merchant accounts if they are discovered.
Cryptopia however have allowed NZ dollar to Bitcoin and back for the last year or two. There is another exchange launching soon that is also claiming to have partner bank support and will allow for margin trading to reduce the spread in NZ.
Overall NZ has pretty easy capital controls -- though many government agencies have yet to state a firm position on cryptocurrencies and the way that they should be treated. As it stands, NZ is about the most economically free country in the world... but... somehow NZ just elected a woman who has promised no end of new taxes, and spending / entitlements (minority government that won 35% of the vote in coalition, the largest party who got 46% of the vote are in opposition). To be honest I'd expect nothing less of clueless politician that hasn't done anything after 3 terms in parliament, who only 9 years ago was leader of the Union of International Socialist Youth. So it's likely to at least become a lot more onerous. An example is we don't have capital gains here... but see how long that lasts now. I believe the new government are not as likely to be quite as friendly toward cryptocurrencies as the prior socialist-lite 'conservative' party.
