So couple questions from an investing standpoint.
1. How did you guys come up with the 50% profitsharing number? The way you structured this feels almost like buying stock in a regular business, however a stock in a regular business gets you the same share as what you pay for. In this case, if I buy all the bridgecoins available I only have 50% of the company.
2. I understand there must be an incentive for you to run/maintain the exchange, so rewarding yourself with 50% of the profits is one way to do this instead of doing an ICO and taking x% of coins for yourself. Once you don't have ANY coins, you are purely incentivized to make this exchange grow and reap the rewards. Instead of, like with most ICO's, pumping up some sort of business and running away with a couple million. BUT, I think you also started mining bridgecoins for yourself, so while not explicitly giving yourself x% of bridgecoins, by being the first miner, this is what happened anyway? How many bridgecoins do you have?
3. Building the product is just the first step in running a succesfull business, redistributing all the profits seems nice, but what happens when you want to grow this exchange and need money to do this (advertising/employees/lawyers/etc). Who will pay for growth, who will decide how to grow?
4. Previous point leads to this point: Who are you? People are saying this isn't relevant, but it is relevant once I buy bridgecoins, become a shareholder and have my profits in your hands.
Man good questions I wouldn't mind hearing the answers to these myself; I mean so far I like the idea and the product but the author above does bring good questions and I also fail to see how that isn't relevant and would like to know myself. If you don't want to dox yourself then no one can force you to but growth for your product will be a lot slower because ppl wont trust you as easy. I don't bridgecoin gives you ownership of anything but the fees. Here's from the website:
"How you as a BridgeCoin owner can benefit from CryptoBridge Decentralized Exchange:
After the full version of CryptoBridge launches, participating BCO owners will receive 50% from all profits from operation including:
Trading fees
Coin signup fees
Profit from internal arbitrage
Referral program"
So it doesn't say anything about voting shares for development path going forward therefore I would say bridgecoin is more of a common stock then a bond or blue chip stock.
