Episode 185 – Future of blockchain in India with Varun Sethi (Part 2)
In India, the government is ready to implement or give leverage blockchain technology but alarmed of cryptocurrencies.
India always being known for it’s growing IT industries. Even when we talk about blockchain, Blockchain projects are creating new job categories, leading to hiring more full-stack, front-end, and back-end engineers but due to lack of regulations over 80% of blockchain developers in India will be forced to move abroad or work only on foreign projects.
One more thing Reserve Bank of India released a statement directing all regulated entities, including banks, to stop dealing with individuals and businesses dabbling in virtual currencies. This amounts to a ban on banks in dealing with companies or individuals that trade in cryptocurrencies. So you can now understand how hard these regulations are!
Listen to this episode CryptoKnights Podcast where Varun Sethi is explaining how he is fighting against the legality of the ban on blockchain and cryptos.
Who is Varun Sethi?
On professional front, I am Lawyer, Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary and Delhi University Graduate with 7 years experience of working with startups in India and abroad, consulting on matters from international fund raise, global structuring solutions, corporate taxation, valuations and cloud accounting.
During my startup journey, have also found myself on the other side of the table, i.e. investor side of things and have conducted due diligence, valuations, FEMA Compliances and India Entry Strategy designing.
On Personal front – I am Sunday cyclist, reluctant poet, level 3 ethical hacker and a legal researcher on policy matters of the Indian Government. It was during one such research that we stumbled upon Blockchain Technology, which lead to one research after another and upon multiple communications with the Indian government to get their perspective on Blockchains.
We have consulted more than 55 Blockchain projects in India and abroad in the past one year on ICOs / Blockchain products / International Structuring on one hand and dealt with governments on the other hand.
It was one such application to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) that revealed that RBI has not done any research or constituted any internal committee or consulted any international central bank before implementing ring fencing restriction disallowing banking entities to offer banking services to all crypto entities in India, which is currently being questioned in Supreme Court as a violation of Constitutional right of freedom of speech.
Company – I am the founder of www.blockchainlawyer.in which is a legal consulting firm for crypto advisory, taxation, blockchain entity structuring globally based in New Delhi, India.

Episode 175- What is an Investor presentation vs an Email Deck?
A Crypto or Initial Coin Offering pitch deck is no different from normal pitch deck that people uses in silicon valley. In fact, you can do a google search for best pitch deck if I
have to create a pitch deck I will probably go with an Airbnb, Uber etc pitch decks (The idea is to learn from the best pitch decks
called as hacking bright spot if someone already created the best, learn from it.)
What is an Investor presentation vs an Email Deck?
An investor presentation creates curiosity around your idea and it's implementation, how are you planning to solve a specific problem
If an investor is asking you a lot of questions around your idea which means you haven't spread the
word out, details of your roadmap, how you are solving a problem? why should they invest in
your idea what are the things you are doing differently?
But an Email deck doesn't create curiosity it just contains more and more in-depth details about your idea.
ICO vs non-ICO pitch deck?
-The only difference is that your ICO pitch deck along with your business strategies it contains also
contains the blockchain aspects of it.
- you might wanna add few slides answering those blockchain questions like- Why you need a blockchain solution for this problem?
what is decentralized here?
Why your solution is awesome?
Pro tip:
Investors are investing by buying your tokens basically, but due to bad token implimentaion in past many investors
lost a lot of money because either somebody stole it or the blockchain smart contract had a loophole.
So they are going to ask you a lot of questions regarding the security point of it. atlast security is what matters.

Episode 174- What are some of the best practices while writing your pitch deck regarding cost and time of the process?
So you have decided to launch an Initial coin offering or a security token offering,
though you have an excellent idea you can not explain it to other people
then how will you convince them to invest in your company or startup? Always keep in
mind that though the process of raising funds is changed, the traditional way of convincing your investors to invest hasn't. There are many ways to explain your Idea to an investor and pitch
deck is one of them.
What is a pitch Deck?
The pitch deck is a carefully constructed presentation that entrepreneurs create when seeking funding from the investors.
It includes the business idea in the simplest term possible.
These are the key elements of pitch decks:
1) Clear, Simple and Well Structured
2) Detailed and Compelling
3) Easy to act on
How much will it cost you?
your pitch deck should have your idea written in an amazing storytelling way because people love to hear a story, compelling
pictures, simple text with relevant illustration.
you are going to need a person that will help you design your pitch deck- a Graphics Designer
A graphics designer will help you design your simple textual idea into a pitch deck that uses a standard template with compelling images.
You can hire anyone with good skills from the websites like 99Designs, Fiverr, Upwork, freelancer, etc around the globe probably the best.
but before doing that sit down and write a rough thought first, clarify your idea more and more which may take you a week but that's a necessary
thing. If your Idea requires some market research that will help you break down your idea into simple words, do it.
then hire a professional designer to create pitch decks the whole process of removing errors like grammatical errors may take 15 days.
What are some common errors regarding your pitch deck?
-Remember do not add to much text detailing your idea for that you have a white paper, add just enough to help investors understand
-remove repetitive stuff, grammatical and spelling errors
-add details about you and your co-founder, if you have an excellent advisory board having a hell of an experience add their details too.
-Do not add wrong market data or fraudulent numbers that will not work before an investor.
having said that, Best of luck!

Episode 164- IDEX: The Top Decentralized Crypto Exchange By Volume
ABOUT THE GUEST
Today we’re joined by Alex Wearn, CEO of Aurora Labs. Alex is an expert at leading teams in the design and delivery of software products. He has managed a wide range of operations, marketing, and sales analytics products for Amazon, Adobe, and IBM, and most recently led a product management team in re-platforming their application to operate on a private Ethereum blockchain (project still in stealth mode).
DESCRIPTION
Aurora recently launched IDEX, a new high-performance decentralized exchange for trading Ethereum (ERC-20) tokens. IDEX provides traders with both smart contract security and a real-time trading experience, eliminating the usability issues currently associated with Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges. With IDEX, traders can trade back and forth instantly, place multiple orders at once, and cancel orders without gas costs.
IDEX is the first in a suite of products from Aurora Labs, a startup working to build a fully decentralized banking and investment platform. IDEX will be leveraged to bootstrap distribution and usage of the boreal—Aurora’s price-stable cryptocurrency (stablecoin). Backed by a combination of cryptocurrency reserves and debt, boreals are accepted at their target value as payment for IDEX trading fees, and eventually by other partner services within the growing dapp economy. As boreal usage grows, Aurora will begin to issue loans in the currency through the first cryptobank, Decentralized Capital.
Aurora Labs is holding a membership token sale on December 11th, offering 1600 DVIP tokens to fund further development of the platform. Each DVIP entitles the member to free trades on IDEX until 2020, as well as 50k AURA, the network token of the fully-decentralized version of the platform. Stakers of the AURA token will be rewarded with transaction fees for their role in securing the network.

Episode 162- Aventus: Blockchain-based event Ticketing Solution that Eliminates Fraud and Unregulated Touting.
BIO:
Alan Vey, 25, and Annika Monari, 24, met in 2012 when they were both studying for their masters at Imperial College London. Very quickly they realized they had a lot of areas in common, with the passion and determination to forge their own paths.
Annika was fascinated by Physics and interned at the John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory before starting her thesis, whilst Alan had an affinity with economics and took a year out to work at the Deloitte Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centre, going on to study Artificial Intelligence for his masters.
As the two worked more closely together they realised they could use their joint expertise across maths, economics and technology in business by harnessing the Ethereum blockchain. Whilst looking at ways to make digitally enforceable agreements using blockchain, added guidance from Professor William Knottenbelt, the Director of the Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering Centre at Imperial College, helped them explore more ways to utilise this technology.
That is how Aventus was born. Alan and Annika have created a business that weaves together their passions and areas of expertise with a mission they believe can truly make a difference.
The duo released the alpha version of Aventus in July 2017. Shortly thereafter, their successful pubic token sale attracted over 1,300 participants, lasting just seven minutes. The platform is now live, as the Aventus Protocol was deployed onto the Ethereum MainNet on June 20, 2018.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION:
Aventus is a blockchain-based protocol that delivers increased trust, security and control for the live-event ticketing industry, practically eliminating counterfeit tickets and unfair scalping. Organizers can create, manage and promote their events and associated tickets, dramatically reduce platform costs, and significantly influence secondary markets.

Pioneering the leap in creative education that teachers and students have long
been waiting for, Leap With Alice is a revolutionary tool for passionate educators -
serving as every “Teacher’s Aide”. Classrooms are transformed from a work
environment to an immersive experience where teachers and students can mutually
thrive. Leap With Alice provides templates and guides on how to create interactive
content, fast and free. Using simple drag and drop features, educators possess the
ability bring everyday lesson plans to life. It has the tools and is handing them directly to those

of their unique abilities. The classroom, as a whole, interacts and connects with
educational material that had previously been deemed tedious or dull.
Enhanced educational material is exchanged via the ALICE Exchange. For the
first time, educators can impact students on a global scale with a single lesson plan;
breaking free from the confines of a single classroom. The time and effort required to
creating individualized content has the opportunity to receive proper value, thanks to
blockchain technology. Incentivizing every step of the way, content creators and
curators are rewarded (in ALICE) for positive contributions to the Leap With Alice
community. Leveraging the innovations of modern technology and disrupting the
education system as we know it, Leap With Alice hands the power over to those who

And in-person cryptocur- rency payments are still inconvenient, despite crypto being on the rise.
Just like online retail, however, it produces a huge amount of extremely valuable consumer-generated data. Valuable enough that online giants like Amazon are buying out brick-and-mortar shops. But offline-only mer- chants often have a hard time collecting and effectively using this data. More importantly, when the data is used, the process is usually opaque to consumers and gives them little value in return.

Episode 43- TokenIQ: Smart Step Towards Coin Monitisation
TokenIQ
The Problem: The ERC-20 token and similar technologies are not capable of providing a truly compliant solution to the tokenization of securities, nor even to delivering a fully compliant ICO. A simple example is that in the cryptocurrency world loss of access to a wallet renders the token-holder incapable of capitalizing on gains while in the real world the loss of a share certificate in no way undermines a shareholder’s claim to their rights.
Our Solution: Create a scalable technology solutions that allows us to tokenize securities, be they ICOs or traditional security offerings. Specifically, we address the key areas of: token Monetization, AML and KYC compliance, ongoing-compliance and market-making. Among the numerous capabilities that are missing from today’s crypto currencies are Futures, Vesting, Options (American and European), Indexes, Swaps, Forward Contracts, Lost token handling, Inheritance, Custodianship, Court Judgement enforcement. While some have talked about approaching a few of these capabilities through the deployment of an exchange mechanism, we believe that a better way is to build these directly into the token.
The Token IQ solution makes all these capabilities available to tokenized securities, be they ICOs today or conventional securities in the future. Our immediate business opportunity is each and every company that has issued a SAFT agreement or is interested in fully legal, compliant and mature tokenization that is available to all investors and is "on-side" with SEC and other regulators.

About The Guest
Coming from an entertainment industry, today Anton is a serial entrepreneur with a strong focus on business strategy, marketing, and product development. He is an active investor in New Zealand companies with a keen interest in cryptomarkets.
Description
CPTF token entitles the token holder to receive part of the company profit. This token will be freely traded on crypto-exchanges and directly between individual crypto-wallets. CPTF token is not a security. CryptF cryptocoins are blockchain based collective investment products. Coins are traded on a crypto-exchanges like any other cryptocoin and are available for anyone to purchase.
What makes CryptF coins different is the fact that they are backed by blue-chip stocks and bonds. Coin price is hard-wired to the current market value of the linked securities.
CryptF coins provide the most simple and affordable alternative to trading on a traditional stock exchange.
CryptF coins are created via physical replication: all securities that are linked to a coin are purchased by CryptF.
We plan to regularly undertake audits and issue broker verified reports to provide maximum transparency of CryptF securities accounts.
By diversifying your crypto portfolio you minimize risk of a potential loss on the crypto markets.
Popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum are extremely volatile exposing you to market drops. To achieve stability with your cryptocurrency portfolio we recommend purchasing CryptF coins.
A suggested optimal split of a cryptocurrency portfolio is 30-40% in CFIT and CFGM coins with a medium risk level, 40-50% in CFBND coins with a low risk level and 15-25% in Bitcoins and Ethereum with a high level of risk.
While cryptocurrencies are all the rage, stocks of well known companies can produce a comparable return with a much smaller risk. For instance, Facebook shares (part of our CFIT coin) has grown by a factor of 8x in the past few years.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Today we’re joined by Alex Wearn, CEO of Aurora Labs. Alex is an expert at leading teams in the design and delivery of software products. He has managed a wide range of operations, marketing, and sales analytics products for Amazon, Adobe, and IBM, and most recently led a product management team in re-platforming their application to operate on a private Ethereum blockchain (project still in stealth mode).
DESCRIPTION
Aurora recently launched IDEX, a new high-performance decentralized exchange for trading Ethereum (ERC-20) tokens. IDEX provides traders with both smart contract security and a real-time trading experience, eliminating the usability issues currently associated with Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges. With IDEX, traders can trade back and forth instantly, place multiple orders at once, and cancel orders without gas costs.
IDEX is the first in a suite of products from Aurora Labs, a startup working to build a fully decentralized banking and investment platform. IDEX will be leveraged to bootstrap distribution and usage of the boreal—Aurora’s price-stable cryptocurrency (stablecoin). Backed by a combination of cryptocurrency reserves and debt, boreals are accepted at their target value as payment for IDEX trading fees, and eventually by other partner services within the growing dapp economy. As boreal usage grows, Aurora will begin to issue loans in the currency through the first cryptobank, Decentralized Capital.
Aurora Labs is holding a membership token sale on December 4th, offering 1600 DVIP tokens to fund further development of the platform. Each DVIP entitles the member to free trades on IDEX until 2020, as well as 50k AURA, the network token of the fully-decentralized version of the platform. Stakers of the AURA token will be rewarded with transaction fees for their role in securing the network.

Episode 12-How RobotVera is Massively Disrupting a Massive, Mass-recruiting Industry With AI and Generating Seemingly Insane Profit Margins.
ROBOT VERA WAS BORN IN THE END OF 2016. THE FIRST PROJECTS WITH LARGE CUSTOMERS WENT LIVE IN MARCH 2017. THE COMPANY'S MONTHLY REVENUE HAS BEEN INCREASING BY 50-100% AND THE GROSS MARGINS NOW REACH 80%.
Alpha-version of Vera was released a few months ago. Robot Vera specialises in mass (typical) hiring, and does all the work 10 or more times faster than a human recruiter: three hours instead of three weeks.
Robot Vera is fully automated and saves up to 50% of the costs for hiring employees, Vera also enables the forecasting of such expenses.
Over the last six months, Vera has been implemented by 150+ customers and brought them 60+ thousand qualified responses. As a result — several thousand people were able to find a job.
Each month we receive up to 400 incoming requests for the use of Robot Vera’s services — all that with zero marketing budget. And more recently, the company has contracted four major partners who now re-sell Robot Vera’s services.
Robot Vera is able to recognise the candidate's emotions in video interviews and also conduct conversations in virtual reality (VR). It is also learning to lead a "live conversation" and answer the counter-questions of applicants about the vacancy and the employer.
The company has raised investments from the Internet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF), one of the most active venture capital funds in Europe. Over the last 1.5 years, IIDF has invested more than $1.1 million into the company.
In spring 2017, the first pilot projects with international customers were launched.
WHAT IS A VERACOIN (VERA)
The virtual equivalent of Robot Vera’s services. One VERA token is equal to a single response, which means one candidate for the robot-recruiter, a candidate who is perfectly suited for a vacant position, and ready to come for an interview. At the moment, Robot Vera is generating around a thousand responses daily for more than 150 of its customers. For the purposes of the ICO, we have converted 15.7 million future responses into VERA tokens and will be offering 5.5 million of them for purchase on the market.
VERA TOKEN HOLDERS WILL BE ABLE TO
* — Exchange their VERA tokens for company’s services with a discount.
* — Be among the first to test the company's new services.
* — Give a VERA token to someone who wants to use Robot Vera’s services.
* — Transfer VERA tokens on a blockchain exchange to another owner at a different price.
* — Return a VERA token to the company at a different price.

Episode 6- Protect Yourself As You Profit: How To Avoid Dangers Lurking In The Crypto World
We have brought back one of our favourite guests for this episode.
Hit play and listen to Paul Walsh from MetaCert, who talks about how important it is to stay safe in the crypto communities on various platforms and how you can take measures to prevent attacks!
ABOUT THE GUEST
On today’s episode, we have one of our previous guests, Paul walsh who’s been ensuring safety whilst clicking on links. Paul is the founder of MetaCert, a security company that protects the crypto community from phishing attacks on mainstream messaging applications. He co-instigated the creation of the W3C Standard for URL Classification/Content Labelling and is one of the seven original Founders of the W3C Mobile Web Initiative. He owns a full patent for the checking of URIs for Malware and Phishing inside mobile apps.
WHAT’S NEW? (2.36)
We have been in the cryptocurrency world for 4 weeks now and we've already hit a 100 million messages inside slack alone. This shows how big our utility is. The number of people who received an alert is 58 k who are members of the community. And the total number of alerts should be more than that according to me. But these are the people who have MetaCert.
The only other security app relying on other companies like MetaCert to secure slack hit 16 million but we have 1.2 billion messages on the whole with 1 million in the crypto world
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAVED FROM MALICIOUS LINKS? (6:11)
We're monitoring all that and logging it all.
We plan to build a global central threat intelligence system. When we are monitoring communities, we see attacks happening over multiple communities with the same person being the culprit sometimes. We have come up with a way to stop attacks as soon as they are on slack API or chat bots. As soon as they happen, we catch the culprit who'll be immediately blocked. That website will be labelled. So that other people will know. The person will be banned. This will thus be based on behaviour of phishers.
SHOULDN'T THIS BE ON SLACK OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR PLATFORM ORGANICALLY? THAN JUST COMMUNITIES? (11:14)
We had a talk with slack and they are not interested in working with us. They wanted to use Google safe browsing API.
In my opinion that's a bad decision because I have a full patent and MetaCert already has the world's biggest advance threat intelligence system which would react much more quickly to phishing attacks. We're able to classify attacks in a way Google can't. Maybe they'll realise our advantage in the future.
Slack is designed for communities where by you verify the integrity of the person who joined. It wasn't designed to cope with communities where you would have people joining it without knowing if they can be trusted. Most companies with a huge number of employees are concerned a lot about internal hacks compared to external hacks. Humans are the weakest links not the software.
What I articulated to slack was that they need to be mindful about communities because they comprise of thousands of powerful people are working in big companies who're probably going to never use slack in case there's a problem with security. This would be a huge customer loss for slack. And Instead of saying we don't support communities they need to take actions to protect them.
WHAT ABOUT TELEGRAM? YOU SAID THAT YOU WEREN'T ON IT THE LAST TIME WE SPOKE (13:31)
We’re currently doubling down on slack which is a bigger challenge for the vast majority of people in crypto. Thus, we're not working on telegram now.
We're working on browser add-ons which will protect you in a similar way our slack app does.
We will put telegram on the roadmap. Nothing until 3-4 months. Which we realise is a long-term in the crypto world.
ARE YOU LOOKING AT OTHER THREATS OR JUST PHISHING? (15:16)
We’re looking at Wallet address. When you open a website, which is verified you are able to see the URL in green. We want to do something similar with wallet addresses I have spoken to certificate authorities to make crypto wallets have cheaper extended valid certificates to prevent phishing attacks.
HOW DO WE SPEED THIS UP AND HELP MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS? (16:50)
Every crypto company with slack needs to have MetaCert. Educate people about checking URLs. I'm working on two manuals, one for companies and one for investors. People working in crypto companies need to be mindful about their own security by making sure they're shredding documents and changing passwords every couple of months. Use two factor authentications. Use Google authenticator. Things like that help educate people.
I'VE BEEN ASKED IF METACERT SHOULD DECENTRALISE ITS DATABASE AND WHY PEOPLE SHOULD TRUST METACERT. (18.53)
We started research on whether it was feasible to decentralize our database so that we reduce the risk of MetaCert becoming the single point of failure. We’re able to cope with brute force attacks. Decentralizing our database is new to us. We’re looking closely at doing it. We’re always looking to address the problems faced by the crypto world.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE THAT WILL HELP OUR LISTENERS? (22:00)
It would be rude for me not to bring up Equifax. Unfortunately, it’s easier to attack than to defend. To have a third of all people to have their social security number exposed and compromised is very scary. To have Equifax be the central point of failure is very scary. It’s ridiculous how easy it is to steal your identity in the US. If this was decentralized where we didn’t have one point of breach, that would be good.
In the crypto world, everybody needs to wake up now. Everybody in this world has a target on their back. Not just individuals, companies, ICOs, have a target on their back. We’re going to see easy compromises. We’re going to need to stop and think. Use different passwords for different websites. Use two factor authentications. Look at all your social media accounts. Educate people in your company. Constantly remind them about the importance of being proactive. People are going to look for information from your trash bins. If you can go into somebody’s crypto world, you empty it. Cyber criminals are going to get much more sophisticated.
My strategy is to try and strike up partnerships with companies that work with token launches and ICOs. The more information we put out through podcasts like this, for the community, the better. The developer community excites me. It takes a lot to gain their trust. When they see that you care, when they believe in you and see that you’re trying to solve a problem, they tend to help you back. That’s what excites me.
Another observation is when I see banks telling people to click a link to open a secure message inside a browser. It just becomes easier to phish people. As for hacks, they hack, they steal and then they upload to the dark web where they sell that information to potentially tens or thousands of people. They make it easy for people to search that data.
SO IF BANKS SHOULDN’T SEND YOU LINKS TO CLICK, WHAT SHOULD THEY DO? (33:00)
Just send you the email! Asking you to log into your account and not ask you to click links. I spoke to a bank about this. In the crypto world, you will get people saying, don’t be stupid. I’m frustrated by seeing so many people lose money. You’ve always got new people coming into the crypto space. Aside from Coinbase, everything else is a complicated process. It’s going to be difficult to tell people what to do and what not to do if everything’s this complicated. You can’t expect mainstream people to comprehend all that. One of the biggest opportunities is to improve the UX and UI in the space.
One of the things that we’re working on is a trust mark for MetaCert. When investors see the trust mark, they know that best practices are being followed.

Episode 5- Bye-bye Silicon Valley. Hello ICO!
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jill Richmond is a Partner at Ark Advisory. Ark Advisory has built an end-to-end process for managing the full process of raising capital in digital markets. She has worked with over a dozen successful ICOs and token sales within the past several months driving the global marketing and investor relations efforts. She previously founded two technology companies and worked for the World Bank Innovation Practice and is a regular Forbes contributor.
Being from an economics background and having worked at the World Bank, Jill has always been intrigued by the crypto world and making the unbanked bankable.
She got into cryptocurrencies when she was pulled into a project in November of 2016, working for marketing of Singular dtv, which raised 12.5M dollars through initial coin offering (ICO). This intrigued her further which resulted in her consulting for them.
WHY ARE ICOS LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD (10:20)
Syndicates have a larger number of people participating in them than would have been possible in another scenario and the ability for them to raise money in a way they haven’t before. With ICOs this has been made possible. One example could be Sensay and sense token. In another environment a female founder would have had a hard time raising money this conveniently. This is not the only instance where ICOs are levelling the field but also token sales. Also, geographically and by the product for which the money is being raised itself, ICOs are helping in levelling the field.
NETWORK EFFECT OF ICOS (20:00)
The most interesting thing about token sales is the fact that people who invest in them are probably the initial group of end users. This network effect is one of the incentives of the token sale. Thinking through the economics of the token sales and how it plans to incentivise the users and the retailers are some of the important things to be looked at before a token sale. Jill mentions that there are different categories of people involved in token sales. They include Underwriters who are supporting the running of the actual sale, retail investors who are the larger investment pool, traders who are traders on secondary market and finally the natural buyers and users of the future system who actually end up using the resource. And the token sales are pre-designed in such a way that they are maximising the contribution pool thus people who are investing are also the people who end up developing the community.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LEVELLING THE PLAYING FIELD? (27:30)
For the company, what they’re building requires a network effect, so they have to think broad and in terms of potential global participation and enhance the value of what they’re building. That way it levels the playing field. The idea of participating in a massive future infrastructure of a project is fantastic and exciting for everyone involved.
WHAT ARE YOUR INSIGHTS ON THE AVERAGE JOE WHO HAS A VERY FOGGY IDEA ABOUT AN ICO? (32:30)
You’re starting to see 2 things that are happening which is great, the space is growing really fast, the material & automation that is available, the open source & technology that is available for these companies are starting to grow up a lot. There are places like Superbloom Capital that is starting to democratize this process on the flipside. So, the good news is that there is a lot of package-able support & information for someone looking to get into the space. The ICO Handbook by David Siegel is especially brilliant.
IF YOU WANT TO DO A TOKEN SALE OR ICO, WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST STEPS YOU’D TAKE? (36:30)
First, figure what your token is. Explore the role, purpose and features of the token. That is the first thing to start and understand. Challenge your token. Do your due diligence & a peer review. Then, you get your lawyers involved. But it always starts with how is your token structured? What are your assets? These are questions you need to answer before the sale.
In terms of research, to wrap your head around cryptocurrency, token sales and block chain, and if you’re really interested in investing, set up a Coinbase account, throw a bit of money in there, read a bit. I’d like to share my list of resources with you, which can answer all the questions and concerns you have.
WHY SHOULD I USE SENSAY RATHER THAN A QUORA? (44:30)
Sensay will find you a person who can actually answer a question for you and you can have a back and forth conversation or there are bots who can answer your questions until they can’t and they connect you to someone who can.
THE LEVEL OF THE PLAYING FIELD IS ALSO ALONG THE AGE DIMENSION, WOULD YOU AGREE? (47:00)
I would. We were already seeing this. Exponentially, yes. There are lots of reasons why. Today, there is a lack of boundaries. A centralized environment is something that they don’t wrap their heads around. Socio economic divisions have diminished. The world has been preparing itself for this block chain technology over the last few years.

Episode 4- How Can I Invest In Bitcoin, Ether & Tokens Safely?
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jun Dam is co-host and organizer of 100x Blockchain Investors. He created 100x to educate people about investment opportunities with Bitcoin, Ethereum, alt coins, ICOs, and digital-currency start-ups; provide practical online workshops about buying & trading crypto, and give industry leaders a platform for communicating with investors about cutting-edge projects and start-ups. He is also the founder and CEO of BitCash, a Bitshares-based digital wallet & exchange company that is focused on making it easier for more people to invest in Bitcoin and crypto. He has had a long career in financial services, earned an MBA from UC Irvine and a BS from UC Berkeley, and is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
DESCRIPTION
Like many of us, our guest today was one of the sceptics when it came to cryptocurrencies. After reading a blog post from Eric Voorhees in 2012, he reconsidered his opinion about cryptocurrencies and started taking a keen interest in the crypto space.
He wants to enable this technology so it can go mainstream. He thinks that its popularity in investment would be a first stage towards mainstream adoption. While looking for ways to do so, he found a marketing platform which used cryptocurrencies as payments, which would reduce the cost compared to credit card bills. But the reality of bitcoins was that people wanted to keep it and invest it, kind of like how people keep good money and hoard bad money.
With investment side growing, 100x aims to educate people and make cryptocurrencies mainstream.
WHY 100x (10:00)
Having a financial background, experience from investing in start-ups, following the crypto space for a long time and subsequent investment in crypto, Jun thought he was equipped to guide people who had been questioning about investment in the crypto space. He thought he could help people find out what to look for while investing in Bitcoins, Ethereum and tokens. Thus 100x was created.
100x was created to be a source of knowledge, so people can make the best investment decisions to help their financial future in such a way that they don’t get caught up in the hype, but at the same time understand the incredible opportunity that exists today and in the years ahead.
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE WITH 100X (19:37)
100x Blockchain investors summit originated to months ago, with an inaugural event involving a webinar with over 500 participants and 60 speakers who were all experts in their own field, be it Bitcoin, Altcoin or Ethereum.
The future plan involves making this a quarterly event with weekly webcast or podcasts. The main goal is to have experts talk about what they’re working on so there is a better understanding of the crypto space.
ADVICE ON GETTING INTO THE SPACE (22:51)
Before getting into the space it is essential to know that all of this is speculative and is subject to change. So, it is important to think of it as a great opportunity which is also very speculative. Once people understand it they can invest a part of their savings in the crypto space. The main point is to start early and not think about the finer details and to invest money which the individual doesn’t mind losing. With all that figured out people can go to coin base or Gemini (in the USA) or respective platforms in different countries to get into crypto.
AN ANALOGY OF BITCOIN ETHEREUM AND TOKENS (28:33)
We can view bitcoin as a monetary commodity currency. It is simple and good as money. It is different from tokens which are like companies.
We can view Ethereum as regular commodity or an operating system on which different programs are created and run. Everything else built on Ethereum looks like a hybrid or like companies. People need to be able distinguish between different coins. An analogy of companies can be used as a framework for evaluating the different tokens. Think about what would make a company successful and use the same analogy to understand what would make a token successful.
THINGS TO BE CAREFUL ABOUT (35:24)
To start off, we have to be very cautious with the security of our digital cash and our private key. Make sure you protect and remember your password. Next, protect your computer and phone by not downloading or using something you’re not sure about. Also, have backups of your private keys, in case you lose your PC or it dies out on you. Make sure your websites are secure. Make sure the URLs are exactly what you’re looking for. The green lock sign on your browser will confirm this. Be careful of people in slack groups, cause often times there are scams when people falsely represent a token sale or ICO.
A lot of groups are going into slack channels to ‘pump’ tokens. Try to not be too emotional about things. Be sceptical about everything you come across. Do your due diligence.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND INVESTMENT (46:30)
Tokens in particular, have a niche, like Real Estate or Healthcare. So now, we need to figure out how to valuate them. First, you want to take a look at the infrastructure and the market size as a reference point in relation to the cryptocurrency. When you’re looking to make an investment, look at the problem, the demand and supply side of it. Look what problems that the product/service is looking to solve. Next, look at the team. You want to see a track record of success, somewhat like a Venture Capitalist. Look for an indication of success. Lastly, look at the business idea and if it resonates with you.
WHAT IS THE UNDERLYING VALUE BEHIND A TOKEN (55:40)
This is tricky. People could pay for a product using a token and think they got it about free. People need to look at the market size for evaluation purposes. Look at the current supply of tokens, multiply it by the price and also think about the future supply of tokens and multiply it by the current price. That will give you an indication of what the entire ecosystem is worth.
This is the one good thing about Bitcoin. You know it ends at 21 million. You can actually estimate the value a lot better.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE STORAGE SPACE (1:02:30)
Here, we’re talking about the Storage tokens. Let’s not forget that something like etherium adds value and has its applications in different sectors. In the end, the application side is important. The application must gain users and businesses have to build on these platforms. You want to incentivize businesses to build on your platform. Network effects is also one of the important aspects.
YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOURCES OF INFORMATION (1:06:30)
Just dive into it. There are a lot of resources on cryptocurrencies you can use. I use Coindesk for news. Steamit.com is another. Podcasts like yours can also be helpful.
