IPO is the final of 3 funding rounds. It will be three to five years from now. We are building a global corporation. We are always guided by the rules of business success - to succeed in business, we must do the right thing, at the right time, the right way. We are also very committed to the best in class mindset in everything that matters.

DNotes follows many of the guiding principles of what it takes to drastically improve the chances of business success based on my book "Improve Your Odds - The Four Pillars of Business Success".

I am honored to share my experience and knowledge. You may find my audio book inspirational and helpful. A good portion of it is free. Check it out here: https://fourpillarsofbusinesssuccess.com/audio-book/

I'm guessing that because DNotes has long-term plan it is hard for some investors to be patient. At least as I understand the crypto community in general. Most (but luckilly not all) people in crypto space just want to get rich...fast Roll Eyes

Some of them of course succeed, but there are many more who fails Lips sealed

With the DNotes maybe little bit more patience is required, but the risk is much smaller than with many other coins with high flying promises which offer overnight success Roll Eyes

As far as I'm concerned DNotes has really good long term chance of success Grin

I think that sooner people realise that in most cases there are no shortcuts to success the better. In that way you can avoid many disappointments. A little bit of patience can be really rewarding, not only in everyday life but also in the crypto. You just have to find the good coin with reliable and trustworthy team behind it...DNotes is really good example of all that Wink

Great observation Amadeus, there certainly was a lot of fast and loose money in our industry as projects shot into the stratosphere with little more than hype and a promise.

I think there are 3 key components that led to this exuberance of investing in this space.
1) It's very easy to see what a revolution bitcoin and blockchain has introduced to the world and its potential.
2) Many people feel excluded from real world exciting investments, early high risk high reward investments, but not in our industry, literally anyone can participate.
3) Many believe in the premise and stand behind what the technology can do for society.

Couple that with the fact that the barrier for entry into this industry are very low and anyone can make any claim, regardless of if they can or intend to fulfill those claims, and what we wound up with is what I would describe as multiple parabolic waves of investment from disenfranchised people who believe in what cryptocurrency and blockchain has to offer in hopes of breaking through their own financial barriers. The crypto wave and ICO wave are the most obvious and there may be many more to come.

Right now, I think people have wised up and the initial ICO craze is slowing down as people are starting to look for projects of real substance. There are probably many more waves to come, but I think they will be more focused on substantial and trusted projects and even new use cases from established and trusted companies. This is where DNotes will shine and we feel like now is the time for DNotes and DNotes Global to begin to play a leading role in the industry.

DNotes is not about hype and get rich quick, it's about building an inclusive digital currency for use in global commerce that everyone can benefit from. It is our hope that many people will join us in this still early phase while DNotes is what I would call still well undervalued in comparison to our industry. It will take a good deal of research to differentiate DNotes from our competitors and see what really makes us unique, but I am confident most people who spend the time will get really excited about what we are doing.

There is much more to cover on this topic but I'll end here for now.

Slowly there is coming more accountability in the industry, with more people closely scrutinizing projects, cryptocurrencies, and exchanges as we begin to mature from the the speculative/casino phase of cryptocurrency where coins have been able to skyrocket with valuations in the hundreds of millions from just a whitepaper, completely disconnected to any intrinsic value, and towards what I believe a model where valuations are more in line with real network growth and earnings in the underlying businesses. With people rushing towards this model, it will definitely curb a lot of the potential gains that can be made in most crypto, however the shift will likely make valuations of cryptocurrencies / businesses much easier, probably making them much more stable, and thus allowing investor confidence and sustainable growth.

DNotes was one of the first, if not the first to decide to combine the benefits of both aspects into one coin, having the network effect growth potential of a cryptocurrency, with the respectability, sustainability, and stability that comes from the support and ownership structure of a separate company. Our messaging has been consistent since day one and we have always been realistic when it comes to forward-looking projections. Together (but not limited to), these have earned us a trusted reputation among those who know of us that is nigh almost of in our industry.

I really appreciate your answers and hard work behind DNotes. I absolutely agree that DNotes are at the time very undervalued in comparison to many other coins out there. But hopefully soon more people will beginning to realise and appreciate the difference Wink
