Hey everyone,
There are a lot of reasons to be excited about blockchain.
Maybe you heard the story of the individual who bought 2 large pizzas using 10,000 bitcoin. They cost the person who delivered them $25, and he happened to be flying to London which was where the person who wanted Papa Johns wanted them. Today, that same person could buy $40 million worth of Pizza.
In 2013, Etheruem also made it possible for anyone to raise money in a public Crowdsale known as an Initial Coin Offering. In the last 3 months alone, over $1 billion has been raised this way – a total of $1.8 billion.
Tokens are just the tip of the Iceburg. As of today there are:
And a total market cap of:
This is big. This is not going away.
Getting the whole StartingBloc chain effort off the ground is definitely a passion project for me, but as the first post to this website, it’s good to look into my motivations for wanting to get this off the ground.
I have a lot of reasons.
- I really believe that if we have a consistent dialogue about it and also learn together from a Socratic method, everyone wins and we will glean valuable insights about something new and transformative.
- StartingBloc is an ideal community of change-makers who already share a common experience and insights into frameworks to create social impact to start collectively learning about this – and also driving a larger dialogue around how to effectively engage blockchain to measure and manage the world we want to live in.
- I’m launching a company that will pursue an Initial Coin Offering and coming across a lot of information. Doing this is actually extremely helpful for me to put things down in one place.. why not share about my fundraising journey with others!
- Blockchain is enabling a new economy that is nothing short of a modern day gold rush, and it gives me joy to share to my friends and trusted networks how easy it is to invest using this technology platform.
- If my own startup plan blows up, I will figure out a way to make money as a consultant educating people about blockchain or joining a blockchain based company, so this is great practice for me.
I’m all in to put in the consistent effort to do what it takes to get this off the ground. I will moderate our consistent dialogues and be responsive to any feedback. Please take a look at the website and suggest additional companies, articles, or resources to share through the forms on those pages, or any ideas that you have for this group.
Onward!
