Ah, so many questions, so little time...

No @AltcoinUK, I wasn't referring to big corporations resorting to foul tactics -who would have ever thought of such a thing, ah?-. The vulnerability would be exploited by the nutcases that populate the crypto world. And @zsp, nothing to do with the "communities", just the -very abundant- nutcases. But, ultimately, they would do -like they have done it with every single successful crypto project, and continue to do so, for two basic reasons, both amazingly powerful: jealousy and, most of all, that engine of all human behavior which is "because they can". Add to that impunity and you have the walking papers of a considerable amount of the people that populate crypto world and is at different levels of the "can code" scale.

One thing regular, common-sensical people tend to ignore is that fact that the crypto world is a very special one --and, at the same time, no different than other fanatical groups of every kind. You have to take the peculiarities into consideration to even start to make some assumptions that would be "logical" in the real world. For instance, you have to consider that a sizable portion of the crypto world is comprised by people who "mine" with all kinds of different artifacts, some of them quite expensive, heat their living quarters to extremes some times unbearable, anger their wives/girlfriends, and consume electricity -which they have convinced themselves they are against- at very high levels and spend countless hours agonizing about impossible to achieve ROIs or trading for a few pennies. Or ores, as the case might be. This is the "normal" of the crypto world. I don't have to paint the picture any clearer because, for most reading this, the picture is right there, in the mirror... These people feel free to substitute freely terms like "dislike" for "hate", free to insult at will -since they hide under the anon handle, or sock puppet-, and not only condone scam, thievery and all kinds of fraud, they brag about it when achieved successfully at the expense of some "newbie" while trying to ethically compensate it with the "he learned a lesson, not too expensive", 'justification'. Some of this people even PM death threats to handles, repeatedly... so it is laughable, in so many levels, when some here try to use common sense in predicting the behavior of the "crypto community".

That other guy above who "talked to an Jasmine employee", pontificates about how Jasmine conducts its business because, well, after all, he actually "talked to an employee". He does not bother to say what level of employment -i.e.: knowledge- such employee has of the business his company is in. It can easily be the guy who cleans the offices at night. Or the president of the company. Such is the loose parameters we use commonly here. While another, a certified nutcase, considers me someone who is paid -I'd only wish- to put down otherwise demonstrated one after another, after another, non-viable projects. And doesn't even bother to take a look at the track record or even check the facts (the only -but considerable- asset I have ever conceded PayCoin is the impressive and  affluent community supporting that project. That's the ONLY one) because, after all, everything goes so who cares about ethics, honesty, truth or any of those things, right?

Assuming that "the corporate world" functions by way of acquiring competing business, is not only erroneous, it just proves ignorance in such matters. By such assumption, everything would be a monopoly, so no need to add more there. The big corporate world functions on two basis: quarterly reports that have to show constantly improving balance sheets and -the key to any business- GROWTH. Growth by acquisition is only the most expensive of ways to try to achieve this through synergies and elimination of -some- competition, but as anyone even remotely connected with the corporate world knows, whenever possible corporations have to grow in a more achievable way: Organically. Often, when the opportunities grant such actions, which is very sporadically, by a combination of both. And no, LiveJasmin cannot "buy anyone", as so loosely posted above. Acquisitions have to be studied, often for months, even years, depending on size and complexity, by very well paid experts. Because they have to not just grow the revenue but, much more importantly, the bottom line --while complying with regulations and -even more importantly- without posing a real or potential LIABILITY/VULNERABILITY. Of course there's also the acquisition by the huge Apple-like corporation of a small start-up that came up with a promising new or improved technology that the giant may or may not use in the future but want it in their war chest rather than in the one of Google or Samsung, but we are not talking about that here, when mentioning LiveJasmin, are we?

One other aspect just -again- so loosely touched: There's no "95%". First of all, if this DAC -potential- is to have ANY value, that other 5% won't do it, no matter how successful, in YEARS. That's number one. But then there are the so-called "studios"... that guy from Rumania I believe that is trying to get his going, will pay them -he says- 70%, keeping 10% for himself -and the other 15%, presumably, for infrastructure expenses-. So we are talking a potential 70-75% instead of the 50% that -again, PRESUMABLY- the well established models making more than $10k per month, are making now. And for that "slight" improvement in potential revenues, entirely dependent on themselves, they will be willing to jump ship. I would think not, but what do I know, right? You will no doubt prove me wrong in a heartbeat.

Oh and yes, the motherlode: Traffic! A website without it is completely worthless, everyone knows that. That's why the "business plan" consists of luring (acquisition, get it?) the established models who will bring the traffic... because well, assuming all their followers come along to the new site, they'll start making $14k instead of $10k --the former being potential (there's a small matter of trust involved...) while the latter is what they have taken to the bank for years already... and it is growing due to new followers brought by the traffic in the site. I'm sure there will be lots of adventurous ones willing to jump ship as soon as possible... not!

Anyway, good luck to you all.
