During these first couple of weeks, we will continue to release and tweak the basics while also continuing to build our community and improve our web presence. For example, we will be updating the 888 website to make it more informative; we want octocoin.org to become a resource for crypto-currency in general. We intend to use OctoCoin to attract businesses and individuals to crypto-currency for the first time and if we can jumpstart their education from within, 888 grows from the inside out. Looking just beyond that, there are some quality releases nearing completion ranging from gaming to professional business services. We will include a progress tracker at octocoin.org once we reach a point in development on our projects where approximate estimates become possible. This should all take us into the middle of April.

Without revealing too much at this stage, a big focus going forward will be the OctoCoin startup incubator and crowdfunding system allowing investors and entrepreneurs from all over the world opportunities never before thought possible. Not all startups we select will be in the crypto-currency space, but they will all be attempting to raise a portion of their capital through a round of OctoCoin crowdfunding. More details on how this will all work will be unveiled as we move further along in the development stages.

The coin is only a small part of the vision, but it all starts with the coin. We are quite pleased with how quickly this community has been growing and several members of the 888 community have gone above and beyond to help us jumpstart OctoCoin and begin educating others.

If we can parlay this early success into continued momentum, it will carry us onto the runway. Altcoins have gone stale. There is a pivot on the horizon. 888

I can't wait to see the website update. I also am pro anything related to crowd funding or raising money for organizations and charity. I've always thought those were areas where crypto can be strong and really win over the general public. The thought of making the site educational to the newer potential users is smart. You can't promote your alt coin only to people who are already in the mix and hope it will be successful.

It'll be interesting to see how crowd funding can drive the price of a coin.
