It is really interesting to watch the different ways cryptocurrency is gaining both legitimacy and acceptance. Check out this article:

Indeed. It is quite impressive. The network effect is beginning to build great momentum. This is very positive for DNotes. I am already reaching out to different groups offering my support, including donating 100 DNotes to the first 1,000 students to create a DNotes wallet and post the address on Cryptomoms forum with a comment. I will also make myself available to our local colleges and universities as a "Guest Lecturer".
Promoting Cryptomoms, saving accounts for kids and education saving accounts is now my top agenda. We will be issuing a Press Release to that effect in a few weeks. I am being kept extremely busy, and very much need your help to participate in this forum more actively with comments, questions, and suggestions. Our development team will now provide some general guidance but not any specific details or release date on projects we have been working.
Bitcoin is spreading fast and doing well, despite certain weaknesses. DNotes will greatly benefit from their success. We are working very hard to overcome some of those weaknesses. Sounds far out, but think of DNotes as a Bitcoin 2.0 with a different name. In the free world, it is all about options and choices. Given the time and knowledge, by far the majority of the people will make the right choice by picking the best option.
The DNotes for students sounds like a great idea with a lot of potential. It will be a fairly quick way to get students started in crypto currency and gain some real world experience while distributing DNotes to our future generations.
I agree, this is a great idea for students, for CryptoMoms, and for DNotes. This could end up being the best performing education savings plan in history!
This could end up being a very big project. The feedback I am receiving from the education communities is very positive.
This is not a general give away and will be done on a controlled case by case basis. Otherwise, we will use up millions of DNotes that are getting more and more expensive to come by.
There are two primary objectives. The first one is provide participating teachers and students the convenience of getting immediate real world experience by downloading the blockchain, create a DNotes wallet, and follow a link to receive an amount of DNotes. Next, they set up a trading account and transfer the DNotes to that account so that they can gain some trading experience on DNotes and Bitcoin.
The second objective is to encourage students to use this as a college fund saving account using DNotes. We will make available a Student Rich List. Prizes will be given out from time to time, at random intervals, with details to follow. We are doing the same for Kids with a CR.I.S.P. (Cryptocurrency Investment Savings Plan)
This will evolve around cryptomoms.com, a content rich website to learn more about crypto currencies. A press will be issued in a few weeks regarding this program. A number of other press releases are also scheduled between now and the end of the year.
I have many more write-ups to be posted but have been holding back for lack of participations from our community. Please make an effort to participate, no matter how brief. I need to know if what I am doing is helpful, especially when writing is not one of my hobbies.
To me it is important for our stake holders to understand why our long term strategies are so different compared to our industry peers. They are well thought out strategies executed at the most appropriate or best time. DNotes is a digital currency. It is money. Understanding the functions of money is important. As much as store of value is a very simple concept, managing your asset or store of value can make you poor or rich. Over 90% of the people are getting poorer while the rest are getting richer. Lets work together to make difference, helping DNotes to be the best store of value.
Dyna, your posts are indeed helpful for the community to find out what the current initiatives are. All the programs you have listed are very unique and make perfect sense for our stage of evolution. I think one point you have not explicitly listed is that young students once involved will gain appreciation for business and technology strategy as they watch DNotes evolve into an industry leader. I think their participation would be another boost to our effort.
Your are correct, Keemo. From a human behavior prospective, an early favorable experience has a strong tendency to stay as the preferred choice or way of doing things. The second contender needs to do significantly better, yet may not be able to win everyone over. Reaching out beyond our industry is a smart strategic and tactical move most people may not have realized.
Indeed, students participating in our programs would be another boost to our effort in building DNotes as the digital currency of the future.
