We all should make our own investment decision based on our comfort level and risk appetite. As a rule, never invest more than you can afford to lose in case of a total loss.  

It is a good practice to maintain a balanced investment portfolio and not put all your eggs in one basket, no matter how promising it looks. Additionally, it helps to gain a good understanding of the business model applicable to the specific investment. I generally would take the “highway” and move on if the business model is not cohesive, incomplete, or one that I do not understand. Unfortunately, many of the offerings in our industry fall under this category. That is a little troubling.

The current DNotes model is capped at 500 million, which will not max out for generations as a Proof of Work (PoW) coin. Moving on, DNotes 2.0 is a Proof of Stake (POS) coin. It is best suited in the fulfillment of our commitment to encourage long-term savings and making it accessible for everyone to participate in the most meaningful and rewarding way. This model is pro-savings and pro-stakeholders’ interest verses getting rich over-night. It is consistent with out long-term push for DNotes to gain mass acceptance. Most importantly, it will work just as well today, as it will 500 years from now.

We have no doubt that this model, coupled with DNotesVault and our fully integrated ecosystems, will be proven to be far superior for our stakeholders than other models more tilted towards speculative trading. In addition, DNotes Global will be a significant contributor to DNotes intrinsic value. Our cross-ownership model will also be beneficial across a board spectrum collaboration and partnerships using DNotes as the digital currency of choice.

Edited for clarification per request:

“No Cap” may be misleading. The rate of growth is actually capped, based on the issuance of new DNotes for payment of staking reward (2% per year) + monthly CRISP reward (1.66% every 30 days or 2% per year) + annual CRISP reward (4% every 365 days.) The annual total is approximately 8%. That is the annual growth rate and in proportion to your ownership of DNotes, if you participate in full. If we cap it there will be a time, generations from now, we will not have the DNotes to support this program. Consequently, the reward program will end or corrected with a new fork, which can be challenging as we have seen with Bitcoin.

I am heading off to a meeting as part of my search for Board members and Board of advisors. I encourage our community to continue the discussion and further clarify this important matter. We are always mindful of the best interest of DNotes' stakeholders. Thanks.
