It is always better when people mind their own business and don't spread FUD just because they decide to "leave a market". Anxiety from choosing to remain in the market is a different story.

I see Bitcoin is hovering a little higher today, although personally I'm kinda hoping it drops a bit before I make a purchase in the coming days. Look at it as a cheaper opportunity to buy DNotes with your dollars than you had before!

I've been looking at some facts on student debt in the states and UK, some of them are horrifying! (albeit some figures are hotly contested). For young people such as myself, the potential rewards are well worth the risks with crypto. I'm not sure DNotes will be available at a relatively low price in the near future regardless of what Bitcoin does. Giving away lots of crypto is part of my strategy to encourage adoption, as the value goes up of each unit of Notes, the more people you can give a "worthwhile" amount to. By this I mean that I could give somebody $20 of DNotes to get them started, but this could be several thousand DNotes, and would not be an insignificant proportion of my overall holding if I'm giving them away to many people. By comparison, if I am correct and they go up by a large margin, I could continue giving $20 worth of DNotes away to each person to get them started, but would have to give away far fewer of my overall holding. I could reach more people.

The more people who hold DNotes, the more awareness and demand will exist for them. That demand and increased chance of mass adoption will more than pay off for any small amount of DNotes you give away. I think the true trick would be in convincing people who know nothing about crypto, that these 'digital notes' that they know absolutely nothing are their best chance at escaping debt and retiring early! My blog is on how to register is still pending lol.

Just wanted to get in a quick afternoon post before I went about my daily activities.

One important aspect of the digital currency investment opportunity is getting lost or at least I do not see it being clearly communicated. Never before one could buy ownership in a ground-level effort that had the promise of going big. The potential disruption is one thing. But the opportunity to get ownership at ground level is another and totally unprecedented. Historically, it has always been only a few founders who could participate at the ground level and general public has to wait till an IPO where the valuations are high and the price is really high and reflects a mature technology (and thus potential returns are already priced in).

I do not see this point being clearly and forcefully mentioned. It is perhaps a good idea to bring this out clearly for CRISP programs. I think cryptocurrency aficionados know this but general public does not. It is unprecedented and fleeting.

That is an excellent point, keemo. I have never thought of it that way. It is indeed quite unprecedented that at least during the early stage one has the opportunity to have an ownership stake even with micro investment. It is truly a ground floor opportunity, especially in the case of DNotes and CR.I.S.P. A few large whales are actually paying to give others the opportunity to get on the ground floor and have an ownership stake. I will expand on this another time.
