Ok sure it all sounds good, but there are hundreds of new coins and hundreds of new ICO's popping up every month. What makes this special?

Lets be honest, this whole decentralized crypto thing is open source so tech is not the most important thing IMHO, since any new startup can copy & paste. What caught my eye is the market place and your emphasis on building community. I believe this is the most important factor in the success of these crypto startups. Can you guys expand a little more on how you plan to launch and grow this area in the first 6 months post ICO?

I think you're right, the tech is not always the most important thing. The community that forms around a crypto is what drives its value. The technology provides no value alone but creates hype the makes a community excited about its potential future. A good example is IOTA. People love the tangle and are becoming big fans of it, even though it's not actually doing anything right now.

What I can tell you is that we're very aware of the community aspect. If you visit our slack or telegram, you'll find us always there to answer questions, and treat everyone with respect. We love to turn critics into fans.

If you look at our team, you'll notice that we have a woman named Heidi Krupp. She and her husband Darren are top NYC publicists. We have a 2-5 year plan (as long as it takes) to bring Divi to the attention of millions of people through publicity. Heidi works with Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuck, Oprah Winfrey, etc, etc. Right now, in the media the only coin that's in the news is Bitcoin. Sometimes they talk about Ethereum. Occasionally you hear about Monero because some criminals are using it. Divi will be the other one you're going to hear about, with a story about how it's so much easier to use than other cryptocurrencies. It's for regular people. It's security is better and safer. It's like using PayPal but can do so much more. This is an easy story to sell because everyone hears about Bitcoin, but when they start looking into it, only a tiny community of geeks want anything to do with it. Divi will change that.

Ok, that's some nice name dropping, but what are your plans on community features we can interact with besides just your typical social platforms? Would be cool to see a community building roadmap from post ICO to main-net launch.

Our PR team has actually devised exactly what you are talking about and it will be launching within the next week or so. Will be sure to update here when it drops!
