Follow the money is a sound advice in investing as well as other investigative work. I mentioned in earlier posts that $500 million VC money was invested in the cryptocurrency space in 2014, followed by $100 million in the first two months this year. I also predicted that we will see $1 billion Venture Capital funding for the year 2015. So far I am on track, another $116 million has just been invested in a cryptocurrency related company and the rest of the world has little knowledge as to what they are working on.

One would think that this is becoming so obvious that people will at least put away their pocket change and turn it into DNotes. I would hope so, but frankly, I do not think so, at least not yet. CRISPs are designed with that in mind, save you pocket change and convert it into DNotes. Think of it as universal life insurance payment using your pocket change. Start off with a meaning amount you can afford and keep adding to it on a regular basis.

There are indeed many very promising signs that the big money will one day start wishing that there is a Bitcoin alternative that is stable and trustworthy for them to invest some serious money. To us DNotes is the obvious choice but to others it is not so obvious. We all should start trying a little harder to help our friends and family know about CRISPs and the new technology revolution that holds enormous power to cause a quantum shift with world changing implications.

"the immensely promising Bitcoin with the potential to be the greatest technology revolution of our generation can be quite deceptive; causing many to look back a few years from now wondering how they could have missed the early promising signs."

DNotes press release today says it all. Email a copy of it to all your friends and family.

Well said, Dyna. I wanted to address a specific point you made:

Here the obvious scenario is that of wanting to own DNotes. The other scenario is value-added technology and service providers building businesses around DNotes e.g. investment managers selling DNotes based portfolios, state of the art payment technologies supporting DNotes, merchants accepting DNotes, developers providing fancy solutions around CRISP/DNotesVault and other properties, open-source developers putting their weight behind DNotes and speeding up DNotes technology development, brokers fixing DNotes/BTC hedges. I am having difficulty being very specific but DNotes will be a viable platform for all these fancy things VCs are funding bitcoin related ventures for.

It is but natural for smart money to look at the next most promising currency after bitcoin and put their weight behind it to upset bitcoin hegemony. So money and resources will come flowing in from all directions as long as DNotes continues to progress and reaches a critical mass. Gaining user adoption is a bigger problem than building fancy new technical features, so if DNotes succeeds in having a large diversified user base and a low volatility path, the whole world will want to transact with it (in all the above manners).

Here Bitcoin has a distinct disadvantage. There are no specific promoters behind bitcoin. It is a large number of software developers set up in a heirarchy. There is no distinct business leadership that a potential strategic partner could do business with. Thus ease of doing business with (for potential partners) with DNotes is much easier.

Excellent scenario. That is exactly correct. As a whole, this will be a huge industry with massive job growth and wealth creation. It will become more obvious over time. DNotes will be well positioned by then. Just remember, when it becomes more of a sure thing, investors will pay a premium for it. Some will look back and wonder, how the opportunity to pick up DNotes for less than two pennies each, were missed by so many?

You are also absolutely correct that: The other scenario is value-added technology and service providers building businesses around DNotes e.g. investment managers selling DNotes based portfolios, state of the art payment technologies supporting DNotes, merchants accepting DNotes, developers providing fancy solutions around CRISP/DNotesVault and other properties, open-source developers putting their weight behind DNotes and speeding up DNotes technology development, brokers fixing DNotes/BTC hedges.

Our focus is to build the part of the ecosystem or infrastructure most valuable in taking DNotes to the next level. Once DNotes reaches a certain level of success, many will want to be a part of DNotes. That is how the business world evolves.

What DNotes has done is not easy to replicate. Building a stable trusted currency is a very difficult thing. That itself is invaluable. We are also agile, nimble and decisive, yet very caring and respectful. And I mean our whole community. This is a rare package and we all are very proud of it.
