IAO LaunchpadGiving Crypto Startups Their WingsIntroduction
🔗
IAO Launchpad, a novel
Invite-only, affiliate-based crowdfunding platform, was principally designed for cryptocurrency Startups pursuing seed capital to propel their blockchain-based
Utility Token projects.
IAO, an acronym for
Initial
Angel
Offering, bears resemblance to the architecture of an ICO, etc. Contingent on context,
IAO denotes the expressed acronym or the eponymous token-cum-ticker symbol when offered on anticipated crypto exchanges.

For folks in pursuance of

IAO Launchpad projects reaching the maximum-allowable Hard Caps (latter stipulation does not apply for projects' awards schedule unless sanctioned).
IAO Launchpad will make every effort in assuring transparency and fairness of our and ensuing Startups' affiliate referral contests as much as humanly possible.
Why $u¢h Mu¢h Prize$?
The substantial referral prize awards were patently structured to marshal - and guarantee - wide financial support from the crypto community for
IAO projects they applaud.
With
IAO Launchpad, Startups will readily have overwhelming funding support from our members functioning as a collective "Angel Investor", yielding ONLY up to
25% in cash and prizes to TOP-performing affiliates in preference to routinely double said percentage (comparatively speaking) to a rapacious institutional VC(s) for analogous results.
Fundamentally, incentivized mass appeal achieved by incorporating similar or modified affiliate programs into crowdfunding drives on
IAO Launchpad, thereby heightening momentum for all future concerns.
How IAO Launchpad Works
With paid-for press releases (PR) conjectured in becoming a relic of the past, vigorous in-house affiliate programs start replacing such in bringing about more profitable payoffs for Startups and mature corporations alike.
Borrowing select affiliate pages from the playbooks of Binance, T-Mobile and Tesla (to name a few),
IAO Launchpad's business model also consists of garnering support via its own
Refer-a-Friend Program, further inspired by, and aspiring to, the effectual 🔗
Evernote Ambassador Program (paraphrasing: "remarkably amassing over 100 million users worldwide with a modest
U$0 budget for user acquisition").
When crypto projects approach
IAO Launchpad for admittance, our vetting process begins. Once timely approved upon passing muster, as an added deterrent our members likewise conduct semi-recurrent vetting in keeping nefarious actors at bay. Directly thereafter,
IAO-
HODLing members vote in determining the next queued Startup worthy for funding, in the interim, limiting the number of Startups to a TBD acceptable level at any given time.
Registered members require possessing
IAO (any amount) to participate in crowdfunding projects on the
IAO Launchpad platform.

you guys are dreaming, which is fine.
My take on the OP, is what, TODAY, do you *need* BTC to buy? I think his point was "not much".
However, I have found it incredibly easy to gamble with BTC. And speculate. I know there are sizable numbers of forum users who are against both of these things, but the reality is, that's what you can do with BTC today. I'm having fun doing both. But if we are to have a thriving BTC economy, we need that "killer app", that one thing (besides gambling and drugs - not that there's anything wrong with that), that only BTC can get you.
You'll say "anonymity" or all the usual Libertarian things (not that theres anything wrong with that, either). But what will make my Mom or Dad (both diehard union liberals) or my Grandpa (die hard mid western gun nut conservative) say "I got to get me some of those bitcoins so I can buy a xxxxxx".

The more apt question is, "I prefer BTC to X". You don't really NEED it for anything yet, but the idea is that it's a better option than anything else out there for a variety of uses.
For me so far,
X= shopping online
X= sending money to friends

Fezzik, tear his arms off.
You need BTC to buy any of the shirts on SquareWear. Hardly motivating for the masses, but it's a start.  You also need it to take advantage of deals on MetaCo.in (like today's sweet price on BitJerky), but deal sites are hardly at a premium for fiat currency.

Strictly speaking you don't *need* BTC for anything, but isn't it nice to be first in this economy? I've actually bought NES games, a Steam game, some music, and I've gambled quite a bit (I've lost more than I won but that's OK). It's excellent :-)

Now *that's* a killer idea. Hide your assets in BTC! Divorce lawyers, are you paying attention?
