As many cryptocurrencies look to find their place in the ecosystem, BTC seems to be the best choice with regards to a store of value. However, due to the aforementioned volatility, it often seems at times not the most logical choice for a store of value, if the holder has fiat currency value in mind. For this reason, one may propose Bitcoin Enhanced (BE) as an possible solution.\n\n![IMG-1739.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZz6P3w78mDjt6a3zHwu6Brnf6uxcHW4mec3HS9DfQbDH/IMG-1739.png)\nImage From: imgur.com (Katarina N)\n\nWhat is Bitcoin Enhanced?\n\nBitcoin Enhanced (BE), in short, is a coin that tracks the BTC price during increases in price, but also has the ability to make predictive forecast estimates for when BTC will fall in price, and gain price value during the downfall in BTC price. This would potentially make for a much more stable and profitable store of value than simply BTC itself.\n\nBut How Exactly Does it Work?\n\nBitcoin Enhanced uses the Phi 1.618 number to forecast when BTC is likely to have a downward movement in price. Using technical analysis of charts in the crypto and stock world, often has rewarded traders and investors with clues and indications of when prices may make certain movements. Elliot Wave traders rely on Fibonacci levels to calculate their trades and to make estimates on where they think prices will land in future time frames. The number 1.618, or the Golden Ratio, has proven to be of significance with regards to Fibonacci and technical analysis. As stated by Simon Paige of the Bitcoin Enhanced team, \"Fibonacci and Phi are for most practical purposes identical\". \n\n![IMG-1735.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdMAaUtQ5gxHbHAGFXzf6KRt4tWnXMFpksaDgJm69JVob/IMG-1735.png)\nImage From: imgur.com (Katarina N)\n\nBitcoin Enhanced uses the aforementioned 1.618 number/level to its advantage, making price movements according to forecasts made in advance. The Bitcoin Enhanced system makes price predictions/forecasts for time periods, based on when the golden ratio is likely to impact the BTC price, with regards to pullbacks or downside action. For example, according to bicoinenhanced.io, the BTC price was predicted to fall from May 19 - May 27 2018 according to the Phi number. This forecast was encrypted, published with a timestamp on a public forum (BE site, Facebook, and Twitter), and only revealed once the forecasted period was complete (for confirmation of a genuine forecast). The forecast was correct \"in forecasting a 16% fall in BTC. Because BE \"bet\" on this fall, it went up 16% while BTC fell 16%. This made the total difference between the two after the forecast 16 + 16 = 32%. Previous to the forecast, the difference between the two prices was already 37%. 32% added to 37% produced a new difference between prices, the multiplier of 69%\" (Simon Paige, BE). \n\nNot all forecasts are this impactful or even correct. But, “Frequencies based on Phi enable some of the drops in the price of Bitcoin to be predicted. Historically, when also used with a filter, the approach has modeled successful forecasts more than 60% of the time” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 1). 60% may not seem like an effective success rate. However, many traders will state, generally speaking, that a 60% success rate is more than enough to make consistent profit trading.\n\nThe Bitcoin Enhanced system may have significant potential, seeing as how it uses BTC’s volatility to its favor. And as the majority of the public will admit, there is rarely a shortage of volatility with regards to Bitcoin, and cryptocurrency in general.\n\n![Image From Imgur Katarina N.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdttneKJHrBQwtoShGq8F38wuzBJqR9TEAU3uDoEB1FwJ/Image%20From%20Imgur%20Katarina%20N.png)\nImage From: imgur.com (Katarina N)\n\nThe prices used for BE are taken from multiple sources, to ensure an accurate BTC index. “Bitcoin prices are sourced from multiple APIs across the exchange network. This reduces the chances of outage as well as provides a representative price for Bitcoin at any given time” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 11).\n\nOne may ask how Bitcoin Enhanced actually, physically achieves all the aforementioned. In short, BE is a community run project. Upon inception of the BE project, one of the developers made a program, based on the aforementioned 1.618 number, that can give forecasts for BTC. This program is now run by the heads of the BE community. For each forecast period, said members of BE community input data into the BE program, based on BTC’s data at the time. Then the program spits out the forecast predictions for BTC, for that forecast period.\n\nBE - Decentralization:\n\nBitcoin Enhanced aims to mimic the success of BTC’s model, in that it will aim to be decentralized. Decentralization would benefit BE, as it has BTC, in that the coin should not be a legal entity tied to any country, thus giving the coin freedom from specific regulations of different countries. Not having an ICO is also a benefit, as it will hopefully mitigate the risk of owners selling their coins cheaply, due to receiving a large ICO discount, airdrop, etc. This also makes it more difficult for one person or authority to buy/receive the large majority of coins, thus somewhat protecting against a possible form of centralization. Also, “like Bitcoin, the coins will use open source code across a distributed network” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 12).\n\nRisks:\n\nThere are some risks associated. However, almost everything has risk. “Bitcoin Enhanced has two major risks. The first is the assumption that the value of Bitcoin is likely to continue to rise for the foreseeable future. The second is the assumption that Bitcoin Enhanced can continue to forecast periods of falling prices. Both these assumptions need to be true in order for Bitcoin Enhanced to be a store of value for owners of the coin” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 12). A 60% forecast success rate is expected/estimated. 60% should still be a great success rate, in that traders can be argued to be able to make consistent profit, even at a 60% success rate, or even lower in some cases.\n\nMore articles about Bitcoin Enhanced details and technology soon to come!\n\nFor more information, including the BE white paper, visit bitcoinenhanced.io\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nI am part of the Bitcoin Enhanced team and am compensated by Bitcoin Enhanced on a consistent basis, in BE coins.\n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to make their own decisions about Bitcoin Enhanced. This article was written about my opinions and my interpretation of data, which can be subjective. In no way am I claiming that I know everything, and therefore, independent research is required by readers. But hopefully I have given a good amount of content to assist in entertaining the public. BE could go nowhere in price or even go down. But it could also do very well. Decide for yourself based on the data and your own personal research.

Many can argue that BTC is still in its infancy with regards to the aforementioned, with much more positivity to come. \n\nThat being said, the BTC model has also been seen to be very effective. The total coin supply is low enough that it provides a sense of scarcity and prestige in ownership of BTC. At the same time, the coin supply has been shown to have enough coins to supply sufficient liquidity to a global market.  \n\n![IMG-1734.PNG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUkEeoqnCAx4yFdjgk1Ahkv9ntEjDp3CmuGYK45fR9QMU/IMG-1734.PNG)\nImage From: imgur.com (Katarina N.)\n\nBTC also did not have an ICO, and touts effective decentralization, having no main governing body or centralized group controlling the majority of coins (possibly due, in part, to not having an ICO). Many people know what an ICO is. But for those that do not, an ICO stands for “Initial Coin Offering” and can be more officially defined as, \n\n“[a]n unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists of banks. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for Bitcoin” (investopedia.com).\n\nICO’s have been an effective way for cryptocurrency startup projects to raise money in order to build/deliver their product/service/etc, and in return, give investor’s coins or tokens that have use in said ecosystem. \n\nHowever, over the past several months, ICOs have seen quite a decline in terms of reputation. This can be attributed to numerous fraudulent ICOs, regulations, and ineffective projects. Investors now must be much more skeptical of ICOs, due to the aforementioned, and make sure that they have done their research before getting involved. The ICO market can also often be seen as oversaturated, with many projects that will struggle long term. \n\nDo not be mistaken, ICOs can be effective, and be a great way to conduct business and innovation. However, there are also cases where conducting an ICO is not the most effective route. In the case of Bitcoin Enhanced, an ICO would not be the right route to go for the project. \n\nAt this time, Bitcoin Enhanced will not have an ICO, much in the same way that Bitcoin did not have an ICO. BE has an intricate relationship with Bitcoin, with BE price action dependent on the price action of BTC. Therefore, BE will look to be be conducted in a very similar manner to BTC. \n\n![IMG-1732.PNG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWrCypscTZT7Et3wtzv5vEXBMYGCwc7wZ3oAkiGDxqL9L/IMG-1732.PNG)\nImage From: imgur.com (Katarina N.)\n\nThere are several reasons for not conducting an ICO in the case of BE. ICOs are often conducted in order to raise funds for projects to build their platform or project. In the case of BE, the goal of the project is not a platform or service. Money need not be raised because there is not anything needed to put it towards. In theory, when people buy BE, they are investing their money into something similar to a store of value such as BTC, but with the potential for more stable returns. BE is looking to be a measure of value/trade, and has its value based on the value of BTC. All the development of BE as a coin is said to be complete, therefore there is no need to raise funds. There is an option to buy BE at a pre launch price. The funds spent on said BE coins will be held in a community wallet for a community fund for the project, pending decision by the community for future donations, costs, etc. \n\nIn addition, an ICO may not be best for BE, in that it may lead to instability in price action or price establishment. It is very common in the cryptocurrency space for ICO projects to have dramatic price swings upon launch of the project’s coin/token on exchanges. For example, depending on market conditions, it is not terribly uncommon for a project to increase 5-10x in price, upon initial exchange listing on a well-known exchange.\n\n![Screen Shot 2018-06-07 at 9.58.48 AM.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSMFVPRAgS7hfHGoPYjKSpF9Q8ENZrZ89AYcr2B969neT/Screen%20Shot%202018-06-07%20at%209.58.48%20AM.png)\nImage From: bitcoinenhanced.io (current BTC vs BE price due to forecasting)\n\nDownside price action is also possible, as some projects may only achieve a fraction of the ICO price upon initial listing on a smaller exchange, due to lack of demand. It is of great importance that the Bitcoin Enhanced price stay relevant to the Bitcoin price. This is because the whole concept of BE is that it tracks the BTC price upon increase, and gains value upon BTC price decline, based on if the BE forecasts for that period are correct. If BE is to become the store of value proposition and option that it aims to be, then the BE price must be based on demand, similar to BTC, as well as based on the BTC price itself. \n\nAnother factor that may lead ICOs to have dramatic price swings upon exchange listing, is due to the fact that developers and teams may hold a significant amount of the coins/tokens for that project, and may dump them upon exchange listing. Coin/token lockups are sometimes put into play for ICOs so that it prevents the aforementioned from happening, at least for a specified pertinent period of time. BE aims to be decentralized similar to BTC. Not having an ICO may aid in more evenly distributed coins. \n\nMore articles about Bitcoin Enhanced details and technology soon to come!\n\nFor more information, including the BE white paper, visit bitcoinenhanced.io\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nI am part of the Bitcoin Enhanced team and am compensated by Bitcoin Enhanced on a consistent basis, in BE coins. \n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to make their own decisions about Bitcoin Enhanced.

      "body": "![Simon.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZJ9iXj3QWdjZ92RYtrJboNV9oacAUoABgHvJmTBpKZZd/Simon.png)\nImage From: pixabay.com (Simon)\n\nIt is a common school of thought in the cryptocurrency space, that Bitcoin (BTC) may become the digital store of value. A personal, digital bank of sorts, that the user can control without any third parties. Due to its high price and demand, it makes sense as a vehicle to store or transfer large amounts of money or value. But due to its’ volatility, BTC can often be a risky investment/store of value. When referring to store of value, people may need something more stable in value. \n\nBitcoin Enhanced (BE) looks to solve this problem. In short, BE follows the BTC price during price increase. But, in contrast, BE makes future forecasts, based on statistical data, to bet against the BTC price during BTC price decline. This, in turn, causes the BE price to increase, as the BTC price decreases. \n\n“The purpose of Bitcoin Enhanced is to track the price of Bitcoin while improving its value through accurate forecasts of periods of falling prices” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 1).  \n\n![janjf93.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYor8LaAZPYRSp4kSQNWU6NY3htHAnZDSLSgPic5t3Fd2/janjf93.png)\nImage From: pixabay.com (janjf93)\n\nSay for example the BTC price moves from $8,000 USD to $9,000 USD. The BE price would also be $9,000 USD. Then say the BTC price Proceeds to move from $9,000 USD to $7,000 USD. If the BE forecast for BTC was correct, the BE price would move from $9,000 USD to $11,000 USD, thus, gaining value during BTC’s price decline. \n\nThis price action would be due to forecasts made in advance by Bitcoin Enhanced. Bitcoin Enhanced should have a 60% success rate based on the data the forecasts are based upon. If the BE projection is wrong, then BE will lose value comparative to BTC. In theory, a 60% success rate should be more than enough to ensure successful consistent profit. \n\nThis could be revolutionary with regards to a stable store of value for cryptocurrency. If people store their value in BE coins, then they will likely be able to have confidence that their value should remain stable, if not even gain significant value. \n\nBitcoin Enhanced Details:\n\nBitcoin Enhanced is modeled after BTC in its total supply of 21,000,000 coins, and its decentralized nature (no traditional ICO). \n\nIf people see value in BTC and its ecosystem, then BE and its’ relationship to BTC should be very logical and useful. \n\nBE Forecasts:\n\n![3dman_eu.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdFWxxewwn8ZQACgDSfb7XFwsFxmbpD6xPkN7nDUrcNxB/3dman_eu.jpg)\nImage From: pixabay.com (3dman_eu)\n\nThe use of technical analysis in cryptocurrency and traditional markets has been seen to be highly effective. With that being said, there is a level which is of particular significance to most technical analysis (TA) traders. 1.618 or Phi, also known as “the Golden Ratio”, is a level that seems to attract price action. Elliot Wave TA traders often look for the 0.618% range for pullbacks, with regards to Fibonacci Retracement, as for some reason, it can be argued that price action likes to move to this level on charts. \n\nThe 1.618 number can be argued to be of significance in an array of areas, even aside from investing and trading. Justin Kuepper of investopedia.com states that “If you divide the female bees by the male bees in any given hive, you will get 1.618. Sunflowers, which have opposing spirals of seeds, have a 1.618 ratio between diameters of each rotation. This same ratio can be seen in relationships between different components throughout nature” (investopedia.com, Kuepper). \n\n![NDV.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNLsW2qK4pA8hkzrSKeFeM8UMevYpyccbuFuAWjvrb7hy/NDV.png)\nImage From: pixabay.com (NDV)\n\nThe effectiveness of the BE coin “rests on its ability to make accurate forecasts of when Bitcoin prices will fall. These forecasts are made through the use of the Golden Ratio of 1:1.618, also called Phi, found in all living systems. From the proportions of an animal to the growth of a plant, Phi is the expression of how systems develop” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 1). \n\nThe use of the BE system will look to utilize BTC’s price action to the advantage of the BE price, utilizing the 1.618 level. This would make for a great store of value, that may potentially attract more investors into the cryptocurrency space, due to an investment option/vehicle that is more stable, while also having the potential to yield excellent returns.  There will also still obviously be the ability to also send BE coins and hold them off exchanges, in one’s own wallet without third parties. In short, the goal is for BE to have the benefits, function, and investment gains of BTC, while hopefully being a safer, more stable investment at the same time.  \n\nMore articles about Bitcoin Enhanced details and technology soon to come!\n\nFor more information, including the BE white paper, visit bitcoinenhanced.io\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nI am part of the Bitcoin Enhanced team and am compensated by Bitcoin Enhanced on a consistent basis, in BE coins. \n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to make their own decisions about Bitcoin Enhanced. This article was written about my opinions and my interpretation of data, which can be subjective. In no way am I claiming that I know everything, and therefore, independent research is required by readers. But hopefully I have given a good amount of content to assist in entertaining the public. BE could go nowhere in price or even go down. But it could also do very well. Decide for yourself based on the data and your own personal research. Nothing said, written, etc. is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.\n\n(**Everything written, said, tweeted, etc. is based on my personal opinion, my interpretation of the data/material, and is not financial or investment advice whatsoever.

This is similar to email as compared to the traditional mail system, and the innovations and changes that have transpired in response. \n\nHowever, it appears as though BTC has become less of a transactional currency/value, and argued as more of a store of value for holders. This can be due to the complexity of sending small decimal point figures that equate to dollar values, and the need for a calculator to compute said equivalent values. Not only that, but BTC transfers have become more expensive over time, and have become slower, in comparison to alternative cryptocurrencies such as Litecoin (LTC) or Digibyte (DGB). This may change with Lighting Network developments by BTC. However, to many people, BTC seems to make sense as a digital bank of sorts. \n\n![MasterTux.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYFqb3zsbZPbPdSpWq3fPZzyYxheQ7n8RD2KhoKzFgkhU/MasterTux.jpg)\nImage From: pixabay.com (MasterTux)\n\nBTC is often referred to/seen as a store of value by the cryptocurrency community as of late. This seems like a sound idea. BTC is the number one cryptocurrency with regards to market cap, seems to have the most public and institutional interest, is the most trusted across the board, and has stood the test of time so far.\n\nThere is a large problem in the BTC store of value proposition however. Bitcoin is extensively volatile. For something to be a sound store of value, it must be able to hold its value consistently. BTC can be a great asset to trade. But if a person invests or stores their money/value in BTC on any given day, then they must be ok/prepared for that money to decrease or increase by even 80% in a somewhat short time period. This seems more like a gamble than a true store of value.\n\nEnter Bitcoin Enhanced (BE)  - \n\n“Enhancing the value of Bitcoin by forecasting when its price is likely to fall” (Bitcoin Enhanced Whitepaper, p. 1). \nBitcoin Enhanced (BE) is a new cryptocurrency asset with the potential to be a much more effective digital store of value than Bitcoin itself. \n\nPut simply, Bitcoin Enhanced tracks the price of BTC while BTC moves up. But when the BTC price moves down, Bitcoin Enhanced bets against the price of BTC, essentially driving the price of BE up while BTC moves down. \n\n![Mediamodifier.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZM8k14dS7mVqEGL5NxF7JoftmE27g93W4oXDxiCJa2ai/Mediamodifier.png)\nImage From: pixabay.com (Mediamodifier)\n\nThis would make an excellent store of value, in that, it would use the BTC price against itself, to improve the price of BE. This could make for an excellent system, and relationship between BTC and BE. BTC would still remain volatile for trading purposes, but also contribute to the BE longer term store of value as well. \n\nBE will have many of the same dynamics as BTC. It will also have 21,000,000 total coins, and be decentralized in nature, without an ICO, and run by the community. \n\nBitcoin Enhanced is for people who love the system/concepts of BTC and its potential to improve aspects of the traditional world. If a person likes BTC, then it would make sense that they would like BE as well. They go hand in hand together. \n\nMore articles to come in the near future.\n\nReaders can find more info on BE at bitcoinenhanced.io\n\nImportant Notes:\n\nI am part of the Bitcoin Enhanced team and am compensated by Bitcoin Enhanced on a consistent basis, in BE coins. \n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to make their own decisions about Bitcoin Enhanced.

      "body": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j0KUdgMddM\n\nPre-ICO Basics:\n\nToken Name - DNN\n\nPre-ICO - Ends 5/3/18\n\nICO Basics :\n\nICO Price - 3000 DNN for 1 ETH \n\n(At current ETH price of $497 USD, 1 DNN = $0.17 USD roughly)\n\nHard Cap - 35,000 ETH\n\nCountry - USA\n\nWhitelist KYC - Whitelist\n\nRestricted Areas - China\n\n(Above Information from https://icobench.com/ico/decentralized-news-network)\n\n![pixel2013.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQTsCigDpBr9UKCniVe7UNYS1nfmE9tLPSsyhSui3Sq2e/pixel2013.png)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(pixel2013)\n\nThe Problem With Traditional Media:\n\nMedia in today’s day in age is completely frustrating and infuriating. Mainstream media often takes information and twists it to make it seem as though the entire public agrees, when in fact, only a small percentage agrees. This can often result in viewers seeing reality in a false manner. This applies to media on almost any topic. \n\nMainstream media also often uses facts and information that is simply not accurate. For example, CNN stated “breaking news: 64% say less confidence in Trump”. There are a multitude of problems with this statement by CNN. First of all, 64% of whom? Who did they poll? They likely polled people that would agree with the sentiment that CNN was trying to convey. Secondly, less confidence in Trump since when and with regards to what? This statement is very vague. Media uses completely biased and sometimes completely inaccurate information to support its’ sentiment, in order to attempt to convince and sway the public. \n\n![geralt.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXe3DqFQwUpYzzzgvD21Hke8SDnLjeT9YuApKz9aip6Qw/geralt.png)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(geralt)\n\nAn underlying cause of the aforementioned is due to the fact that media is currently seen to be largely centralized. “In 1983, 90 percent of the U.S. news industry was owned and controlled by 50 different companies. Thirty-four years later, 90 percent of American news coverage, whether read, watched or listened to, flows from just six media conglomerates: Comcast Corporation; News Corporation; The Walt Disney Company; Viacom Inc.; Time Warner Inc.; and CBS Corporation” (DNN Whitepaper, p. 2, via Columbia Journalism Review). These companies likely have very biased views that they spread throughout all news platforms and gateways. \n\nThis appears to cause a lack of balance in power. In contrast, the government system, upon original conception, desired to implement several checks and balances to achieve distribution of power in the system. This does not appear to be present in mainstream media, and the forces that control the majority of mainstream media. It would also make sense that the funding for said media likely comes from a few centralized sources. This leads to their agenda being forced, with threat of loss of funding. \n\nThe above mentioned has led to the public rightfully doubting everything construed by the media. “According to a September 2016 Gallup poll, Americans’ trust and confidence in the mass media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” has dropped to its lowest level in Gallup polling history, with just 32 percent saying they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media” (DNN Whitepaper, p. 3). \n\nThis problem also occurs in social media and other sources on the internet. This can be a problem in that many people have shifted focus to receiving their new information from social media. When an article or statement is posted on social media, it is now almost always necessary to fact check the source and search for its actual validity. There are vast amounts of media articles, statements, and videos, spreading around the world that can be completely false and invalid. The Decentralized News Network (DNN) looks to solve the aforementioned prevalent problems with media and information. \n\n![TheDigitalArtist.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPjQ99YKkmibEKXtyzTDsijCAP54uF24yn8a565W6Uot9/TheDigitalArtist.jpg)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(TheDigitalArtist) \n\nDNN - A Decentralized Solution:\n\nIn short, DNN Media is “A decentralized news network backed by incentives for individuals to create, review, and consume news” (DNN Whitepaper, Title Page Abstract). DNN is a place where writers will be be rewarded for articles that have accurate information. In the current system, there often can be no risk or reward for writing of presenting inaccurate information. So it would make sense that media and individuals would simply write or report anything at all. There can often be very little accountability and transparency to the public. \n\nDNN looks to utilize the benefits of decentralization in order to build a community of content producers, editors, fact checkers, etc, that will give the public a reliable source of media. One possible fear of threatening the current status quo, is the fact that people may desire to take shut down DNN. This would be near impossible due to the fact that DNN will be decentralized. In order to shut down DNN, hackers, etc would need to take down a multitude of sources, instead of simply one centralized source.\n\n![OpenClipart-Vectors.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdx58ATdmcnxcF3rxMCm42YaTFwcxSNVErzEbTjFwQBb4/OpenClipart-Vectors.png)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(OpenClipart-Vectors)\n\nIncentive for Truth and Quality:\n\nAs per mentioned above, DNN will offer the ability for involved creators, editors, etc, to be compensated for their work. The DNN system will not look to be fueled by ad revenue. This protects against the bias that may come with such corporate involvement. DNN states that compensation will come from community engagement. The DNN system will be run on the Ethereum blockchain, and will utilize smart contracts as well. “Since the blockchain contains data in time-stamped blocks that chain together, being continuously added and archived, it becomes nearly impossible for outsiders to manipulate existing data or information within the distributed ledger” (DNN white paper, p. 6). This is beneficial on many levels, and provides transparency and security that are often only found within blockchain solutions. \n\nThe DNN system allows for news and media without censorship. Censorship is often used by governments and large entities for a multitude of reasons. According to DNN, real facts and information are often withheld from the public, thus providing citizens with a lack of true information and facts, that may be crucially important. An example of this would be in the presidential elections of 2016. Hillary Clinton had engaged in many events that were thought to be a  potential compromise to United States security. However, mainstream media withheld this information and made it seem as though it was all speculation and rumor. \n\nWith regards to censorship, the above information has its obvious benefits. It can be fairly obvious that the current system of media has far too much secrecy of questionable accurate facts/information. However, it can be a difficult dance, so to speak, when talking about censorship or lack thereof. It is important that some information be kept secret, as it may be pertinent to security and safety of citizens. There has to be a balance. 100% of information should not be readily available to any average citizen. However, there should definitely be more transparency and less censorship than there currently is. It will be interesting to see how DNN goes about this balance in days to come. \n\n![ar130405.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWwie3rNU7jsV3EAfrWancCAUNuBdzSFAcBC9GSj8uV5c/ar130405.jpg)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(ar130405)\n\nThe Product/Technology/DNN Ecosystem:\n\nAs mentioned above, the DNN platform will be run on the Etheruem network. This has its pros and cons. However, the Ethereum network has proven successful for many different projects and ICOs thus far. The DNN platform allows for content creators to submit articles that will be reviewed in congruence with a public set of standards for the network. Whenever an article/piece of news is published, it is replicated across a series of community-hosted nodes and made available to the public. Readers, writers, reviewers, and publishers earn tokens in proportion to the amount of positive contributions they make to the platform” (DNN Whitepaper p. 8). This replication would obviously then make it extremely difficult for a hacker to take down the system because they would have to hack many different sources to even affect one article/news piece. \n\n![cards-161404__340.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRyfhASh4S3ohMZf1xrvdzgNnHfBM4G6H2C7bXj4iEr3K/cards-161404__340.png)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(OpenClipart-Vectors)\n\n\nThere are 4 roles in the DNN system:\n\n\nWriters:\n\nWriters contribute via writing of news articles. Any person is able to submit content as a writer on the DNN system, but there is no guarantee of work getting published. (This makes sense in that if the work is untrue, etc, then it would not make sense for it to get published). To increase the likelihood of content getting published, writers should refer to the DNN guidelines for content. \n\n\nReviewers -\n\n“Reviewers, or editors, read and vote upon submitted articles before an article is available for public consumption on the DNN’s article feed. The review process includes basic tasks such as noting grammatical errors, pointing out inaccuracies and questionable statements, as well as content classification. Most important, however, is that reviewers ensure articles adhere to the DNN content guidelines” (DNN Whitepaper, p. 8). Reviewers are not in charge of changing/editing articles. They are however, in charge of voting for acceptance or rejection of said content. This seems to be a democratic process in that a number of votes from different people are required for a decision/movement. The reviewers are unaware each others identities in order to avoid bias and collective agreement. \n\n\nReaders -\n\nReaders are able to comment on submissions, give feedback, share articles, etc. Readers pay to read articles via DNN tokens. This seems to be similar to paying for a subscription to a newspaper, etc. \n\n\nPublishers - \n\n“Unlike readers, reviewers, and writers who are human actors of the network, publishers are server nodes which act as a proxy between human contributors and the DNN network residing on the Ethereum blockchain.\nSpecialized open source software consisting of the complete DNN contributor-interface and network interface, is bundled and installed on each publisher. Publisher nodes are responsible for replicating published articles and ensuring that the DNN network remains available in the face of coordinated attacks.” \n(DNN Whitepaper p. 11). This system looks to provide an effective form of protection from hacks. \n\n![mohamed_hassan.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbibi39JgsGD2b6oZBJTennoh5qgQbFykotKjgNEnp3nj/mohamed_hassan.jpg)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(mohamed_hassan)\n\nDNN Token:\n\nThe DNN token will be a way to transfer value on the DNN platform. \nDNN tokens can be used for - \n\nPayment of reader subscriptions\n\nWriter fees for writers to submit articles (If the article is accepted, the writer can then receive DNN tokens as payment if their article receives engagement by audiences). \n\n“Reviewers use DNN tokens to to be considered by the network as a reviewer of a submitted article” (DNN Whitepaper p. 13). \n\n\nTipps, comments, etc, by readers\n\n\nPublishers earn DNN tokens based on the amount they hold (similar to staking coins in a wallet and earning based on the amount held in the wallet). \n\n\n*For more details/deeper understanding of the technology and details on how the DNN platform works, you may wish to consult the DNN white paper, in that there is a lot of information involved.\n\nDNN whitepaper link: https://dnn.media/storage/DecentralizedNewsNetworkWhitePaperDraftv1.5.3.pdf\n\n![network-1020332__340.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSsZhjgv8Tk43Qi5bmazPbCq8i1gj3MzRFgdrc9xKJEh6/network-1020332__340.jpg)\n(Image From: pixabay.com(3dman_eu)\n\nTeam:\n\nSamit Singh (Co-Founder) - \n\nCo-founded MiniChat Inc.

The current media situation is often times infuriating. To have a democratic system where truthful facts and information are reported would be an groundbreaking improvement to the current status quo. There should be outlets for opinions on said facts and news pieces… but they should be labeled as simply that… opinions. The current media often reports opinions and bias as though it were fact. And that is a problem that DNN may be able to solve. However, as revolutionary and excellent as the DNN ideas and proposals are, only time will tell if their proposed system will be successful and be able to become the new status quo. A vast amount cryptocurrency projects will fail in the next several years, many of which are in very early stages currently. It will be interesting to keep an eye on DNN over the next several months, and to see how they develop as they eventually release their platform, and how their platform is utilized and accepted by the public. \n\n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to decide what they personally think the future will be for DNN. This review was written about my opinions and my interpretation of data, which can be subjective. In no way am I claiming that I know everything, and therefore, independent research is required by readers. But hopefully I have given a good amount of content to assist in entertaining the public. DNN could go nowhere in price or even go down. But it could also do very well. Decide for yourself based on the data and your own personal research. I have not yet invested in DNN, but may do so in the future. I have also not been compensated by DNN for this review.\n\n(**Everything written, said, tweeted, etc. is based on my personal opinion, my interpretation of the data/material, and is not financial or investment advice whatsoever.

      "title": "Genesis Vision (GVT) Review 3/4/18",
      "body": "Genesis Vision ICO - Decentralized platform for trust management.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igpxx-lrpQc\n(Youtube.com via ICOdrops.com)\n\n Genesis Vision – “the platform for the private trust management market, built on blockchain technology and smart contracts”\n\nThe Facts:\n\nCurrent price is about $36.34 USD -\n\nTotal supply for GVT tokens is 4,436,644  -\n\nThis is a strong number for price growth, even once all tokens are in circulation. This number is not too far off from the current circulating supply. According to these numbers, about 84% are already in circulation.\n\nCirculating supply is currently 3,726,781 -\n\nThis number of tokens is extremely low for circulating supply. This means that GVT is subject to extreme price swings, in comparison to other projects. This includes positive price movement as well as negative. This supply, matched with the current price, also indicates that this token has tremendous price upside. For example, Bitcoin supposedly has somewhere around 16,888,462 coins in circulation, with a 21,000,000 total supply. Bitcoin has been able to reach tremendous single coin prices, due to the low coin supply. Having a low coin/token supply provides scarcity, and an increase in demand due to low supply (if the project is good). At about $26 currently, GVT could achieve incredible price highs, depending on the projects success. \n\nThis amount of supply can also negatively affect liquidity however. Since there are so few tokens, it may be hard for someone to sell a large amount of them at a desired price because they may not be able to find enough buyers at the time of trade, for the desired trade price. \n\nMarket cap is currently at $135,430,845 USD -\n\nAt roughly $36.34, if GVT went to $263.40 (10x), it would have a market cap of roughly $1.3 billion. This would put GVT just inside the top 25 list of cryptocurrencies on Coinmarketcap according to market cap. (Ranked highest to lowest marketcap). This is with the current total cryptocurrency market cap of about $469 billion. \n\nThe kind of growth really depends on the projects success and the hype surrounding it. Becoming a top 25 cryptocurrency is no easy task for most, considering there are about 1500 different coins/tokens on coinmarketcap. At the time of writing this article, GVT is ranked 110th. There is still room for a good amount of growth in my opinion from here, considering the project, although nothing is certain. \n\n24 Hour Volume is $14,352,600 USD  -\n\nThis is a strong amount of volume. It means people are actively trading GVT and that it has a decent amount of attention, although this fluctuates. \n\nATH was about $43 -\n\nAt $36.34, GVT is not too far from its all time high. This is impressive considering the major hit the majority of the market has taken. However, it also means that its not at a large discount currently, if one were desiring to accumulate GVT tokens. \n\nExchanges -\n\nGVT is trading on Binance, Kucoin, and HitBTC. Binance is arguably the biggest exchange for alt coins, with the best liquidity, with regards to the multitude of coins/tokens available. They also have tremendous functionality. The downside to this is that the price has likely already spiked due to getting listed on Binance. Although this does not at all mean that there is no future upside or eminent price movement. \n\n(Above stats from Coinmarketcap.com)\n![Screen Shot 2018-03-04 at 9.36.34 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTeYv7X9veg2iavwgWQSkYACCtj6gqPtprc6Ct8isWkYG/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-04%20at%209.36.34%20PM.png)\nImage From: Coinmarketcap.com\n\nICO:\n\nICO token sale was from OCT 15 - NOV 15 2017.\n\nNo Whitelist.\n\nICO price was $1.00 per 1 GVT.\n\nICO fundraising goal of 23,000,000 USD was not met.

I would seek a third party to do this for me. I would transfer money to the company or the individual, and come up with an agreement for growth, and parameters for the risk I was willing to incur, taking into account the potential gain, which would likely be compounded and end up as larger gain than simply sitting in my bank account. \n\nThere are several parties involved in this, as described by the Genesis Vision whitepaper:\n\n1) Managers - These companies or individuals are very experienced. They make a commission based on how much they are able to grow the funds invested. \n\n2) Investors - The ones who provide the capital/money to the management funds/companies.\n\n3) Brokers/Brokerage Firms - These are the one’s that have agreements with exchanges and the necessary licenses, etc, to carry out trades, etc. For example, if I wanted to trade on the CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade), I would need to go through a third party (brokerage firm) in order to get trades carried out/executed. \n\nThere are quite a few middle men in this process. The investor gives money to the manager. The manager finds trades/investment opportunities, then gives those orders to the broker. The broker then executes those orders on the exchange. \n\n![download.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbMCswYFtjjetEX59igUER6QQnM6iqTNszURTHjgg72mF/download.jpg)\nImage From: elitetrack.com\n\nThis system of trust management has been gaining momentum over the years. “According to the Boston Consulting Group report Global Asset Management 2016, the total amount of funds in management is more than $70 trillion” (white paper p. 6). This means that there has been a growing interested and participation in this system of operation. \n\nAs the GVT white paper explains, the current system for this market is not very transparent, and often times, people do not understand how the process works. “[T]he current solutions boil down to the investor using some software to transfer money to a financial manager and then waiting to receive profits. However, investors have no opportunity to control their own funds. Furthermore, the fiduciary management system itself doesn't give investors any technical abilities to ensure that their funds are returned, nor does it provide an understanding of how the money is used” (Whitepaper p. 8). \n\nThis basically means that the traditional system lacks transparency, ease of use, customer control, security, and trust that the customer’s funds will be dealt with properly and returned. These seem to be quite a few problems that decentralization may be able to solve. \n\nDishonesty, on behalf of companies, is also mentioned. With added transparency, they would likely be held more accountable to perform upstanding practices. \n“Our system adds transparency and, on a technological level, increases asset security and information reliability. Decentralization guarantees that one person won't be able to use the entire system for his personal interests” (Whitepaper p. 8). \n\nGenesis Vision looks to utilize blockchain technology and smart contracts to greatly improve the above problems. Genesis Vision will have managers who own their own cryptocurrencies, with amount depending on performance track record. A customer would then buy the managers cryptocurrency holdings on Genesis VIsion’s own internal exchange. This would then make the manager in charge of those funds, that the customer now owns. \n\n“Genesis Vision, in turn, represents a common open source of reliable information about the statistics of the network participants' activities and an absolutely transparent system of investment and profit distribution, built on smart contracts” (Whitepaper p. 10). This sounds like a cool way of going about the system, providing ease of use, transparency, etc.\n\n![images copy.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSEeQfQ9W2HXgTH8TfegPHheMfaNTF5xE13jq5ueb89Kb/images%20copy.jpg)\nImage From: cryoplus.com\n\n\nAdvantages for investors, as opposed to the traditional system, as provided by the GVT white paper, page 11.\n\n1) “Investors have access to managers from all over the world. Information is available on their trading and profit statistics, which is now accessible in one place”.\n\n2) “The set of managers is not limited by any set of financial instruments”. \n\n3) “Investors have the ability to invest both in the cryptocurrency and in the fiat currencies”. \n\n4) “Profit distribution is completely transparent and open”. \n\n5) “There is better availability of investment portfolios for any request (high-risk, low-risk, etc.)”.\n\n6) “Investors have additional protection, due to the fact that all managers have a real trading history that cannot be faked”.\n\n7) “Investing is now not just a transfer of money but the purchase of a cryptocurrency, which remains liquid throughout the process and can be resold at any time”. \n\nThere are also several advantages for the private managers, funds, and brokers as well -  \n\nThese include aspects such as: increased access to investors in other countries (borderless concept)/transparency/healthy competition among managers/ improved flexibility, creativity, strategy, etc/ ability for managers to build their own brand (branded cryptocurrency for investors to trade)/opportunity for brokers to attract worldwide investors/no centralized company/free participation in the network with same terms for all participants/ as well as a few other advantages. \n\nThe internal exchange mentioned above will be “the place where investors can purchase and sell managers’ coins. Managers have a limited amount of coins, which depends on their level. Initially, these coins can only be purchased directly from the manager for a fixed price.

One key element that makes Genesis Vision very attractive, is that they are looking to offer more than just a cryptocurrency market alternative. They are also looking to provide a mixture of the cryptocurrency space, with the traditional system, which provides vastly greater opportunity. I also like the aspect of a performance based system for the managers, which promotes greater growth and results. \n\nOn the opposing side, Genesis vision may have their hands full when it comes to regulation. With all the difficulties currently with regulations filtering in, it will be interesting to see how Genesis Vision is affected. It also seems to me as though they have a lot left to accomplish. It will be interesting to see if they can deliver on their vision and their system. The other question is if another project comes along that builds on these ideas, and moves faster. The blockchain space moves incredibly fast. It would seemingly be easy for projects to be usurped. But then again, I do think there is room for multiple projects that have the same goals, but may go about things slightly differently…Just as I think there may be room in crypto for multiple platform plays to thrive simultaneously (ETH, NEO, ADA, etc.) instead of just “one that rules them all” so to speak. \n\nAt the end of the day, readers need to decide what they think the future will be for GVT. This review was written about my opinions and my interpretation of data, which can be subjective. In no way am I claiming that I know everything, and therefore, more research may be required by readers. But hopefully I have given a good amount of content to assist in educating the public. GVT could go nowhere in price or even go down. But it could also do very well. Decide for yourself based on the data and your own personal research ;) I have not yet invested in GCT, but may do so in the future.

      "body": "Genesis Vision ICO - Decentralized platform for trust management.\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igpxx-lrpQc\n(Youtube.com via ICOdrops.com)\n\n Genesis Vision – “the platform for the private trust management market, built on blockchain technology and smart contracts”\n\nThe Facts:\n\nCurrent price is about $36.34 USD -\n\nTotal supply for GVT tokens is 4,436,644  -\n\nThis is a strong number for price growth, even once all tokens are in circulation. This number is not too far off from the current circulating supply. According to these numbers, about 84% are already in circulation.\n\nCirculating supply is currently 3,726,781 -\n\nThis number of tokens is extremely low for circulating supply. This means that GVT is subject to extreme price swings, in comparison to other projects. This includes positive price movement as well as negative. This supply, matched with the current price, also indicates that this token has tremendous price upside. For example, Bitcoin supposedly has somewhere around 16,888,462 coins in circulation, with a 21,000,000 total supply. Bitcoin has been able to reach tremendous single coin prices, due to the low coin supply. Having a low coin/token supply provides scarcity, and an increase in demand due to low supply (if the project is good). At about $26 currently, GVT could achieve incredible price highs, depending on the projects success. \n\nThis amount of supply can also negatively affect liquidity however. Since there are so few tokens, it may be hard for someone to sell a large amount of them at a desired price because they may not be able to find enough buyers at the time of trade, for the desired trade price. \n\nMarket cap is currently at $135,430,845 USD -\n\nAt roughly $36.34, if GVT went to $263.40 (10x), it would have a market cap of roughly $1.3 billion. This would put GVT just inside the top 25 list of cryptocurrencies on Coinmarketcap according to market cap. (Ranked highest to lowest marketcap). This is with the current total cryptocurrency market cap of about $469 billion. \n\nThe kind of growth really depends on the projects success and the hype surrounding it. Becoming a top 25 cryptocurrency is no easy task for most, considering there are about 1500 different coins/tokens on coinmarketcap. At the time of writing this article, GVT is ranked 110th. There is still room for a good amount of growth in my opinion from here, considering the project, although nothing is certain. \n\n24 Hour Volume is $14,352,600 USD  -\n\nThis is a strong amount of volume. It means people are actively trading GVT and that it has a decent amount of attention, although this fluctuates. \n\nATH was about $43 -\n\nAt $36.34, GVT is not too far from its all time high. This is impressive considering the major hit the majority of the market has taken. However, it also means that its not at a large discount currently, if one were desiring to accumulate GVT tokens. \n\nExchanges -\n\nGVT is trading on Binance, Kucoin, and HitBTC. Binance is arguably the biggest exchange for alt coins, with the best liquidity, with regards to the multitude of coins/tokens available. They also have tremendous functionality. The downside to this is that the price has likely already spiked due to getting listed on Binance. Although this does not at all mean that there is no future upside or eminent price movement. \n\n(Above stats from Coinmarketcap.com)\n![Screen Shot 2018-03-04 at 9.36.34 PM.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTeYv7X9veg2iavwgWQSkYACCtj6gqPtprc6Ct8isWkYG/Screen%20Shot%202018-03-04%20at%209.36.34%20PM.png)\nImage From: Coinmarketcap.com\n\nICO:\n\nICO token sale was from OCT 15 - NOV 15 2017.\n\nNo Whitelist.\n\nICO price was $1.00 per 1 GVT.\n\nICO fundraising goal of 23,000,000 USD was not met.

I would seek a third party to do this for me. I would transfer money to the company or the individual, and come up with an agreement for growth, and parameters for the risk I was willing to incur, taking into account the potential gain, which would likely be compounded and end up as larger gain than simply sitting in my bank account. \n\nThere are several parties involved in this, as described by the Genesis Vision whitepaper:\n\n1) Managers - These companies or individuals are very experienced. They make a commission based on how much they are able to grow the funds invested. \n\n2) Investors - The ones who provide the capital/money to the management funds/companies.\n\n3) Brokers/Brokerage Firms - These are the one’s that have agreements with exchanges and the necessary licenses, etc, to carry out trades, etc. For example, if I wanted to trade on the CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade), I would need to go through a third party (brokerage firm) in order to get trades carried out/executed. \n\nThere are quite a few middle men in this process. The investor gives money to the manager. The manager finds trades/investment opportunities, then gives those orders to the broker. The broker then executes those orders on the exchange. \n\n![download.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbMCswYFtjjetEX59igUER6QQnM6iqTNszURTHjgg72mF/download.jpg)\nImage From: elitetrack.com\n\nThis system of trust management has been gaining momentum over the years. “According to the Boston Consulting Group report Global Asset Management 2016, the total amount of funds in management is more than $70 trillion” (white paper p. 6). This means that there has been a growing interested and participation in this system of operation. \n\nAs the GVT white paper explains, the current system for this market is not very transparent, and often times, people do not understand how the process works. “[T]he current solutions boil down to the investor using some software to transfer money to a financial manager and then waiting to receive profits. However, investors have no opportunity to control their own funds. Furthermore, the fiduciary management system itself doesn't give investors any technical abilities to ensure that their funds are returned, nor does it provide an understanding of how the money is used” (Whitepaper p. 8). \n\nThis basically means that the traditional system lacks transparency, ease of use, customer control, security, and trust that the customer’s funds will be dealt with properly and returned. These seem to be quite a few problems that decentralization may be able to solve. \n\nDishonesty, on behalf of companies, is also mentioned. With added transparency, they would likely be held more accountable to perform upstanding practices. \n“Our system adds transparency and, on a technological level, increases asset security and information reliability. Decentralization guarantees that one person won't be able to use the entire system for his personal interests” (Whitepaper p. 8). \n\nGenesis Vision looks to utilize blockchain technology and smart contracts to greatly improve the above problems. Genesis Vision will have managers who own their own cryptocurrencies, with amount depending on performance track record. A customer would then buy the managers cryptocurrency holdings on Genesis VIsion’s own internal exchange. This would then make the manager in charge of those funds, that the customer now owns. \n\n“Genesis Vision, in turn, represents a common open source of reliable information about the statistics of the network participants' activities and an absolutely transparent system of investment and profit distribution, built on smart contracts” (Whitepaper p. 10). This sounds like a cool way of going about the system, providing ease of use, transparency, etc.\n\n![images copy.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSEeQfQ9W2HXgTH8TfegPHheMfaNTF5xE13jq5ueb89Kb/images%20copy.jpg)\nImage From: cryoplus.com\n\n\nAdvantages for investors, as opposed to the traditional system, as provided by the GVT white paper, page 11.\n\n1) “Investors have access to managers from all over the world. Information is available on their trading and profit statistics, which is now accessible in one place”.\n\n2) “The set of managers is not limited by any set of financial instruments”. \n\n3) “Investors have the ability to invest both in the cryptocurrency and in the fiat currencies”. \n\n4) “Profit distribution is completely transparent and open”. \n\n5) “There is better availability of investment portfolios for any request (high-risk, low-risk, etc.)”.\n\n6) “Investors have additional protection, due to the fact that all managers have a real trading history that cannot be faked”.\n\n7) “Investing is now not just a transfer of money but the purchase of a cryptocurrency, which remains liquid throughout the process and can be resold at any time”. \n\nThere are also several advantages for the private managers, funds, and brokers as well -  \n\nThese include aspects such as: increased access to investors in other countries (borderless concept)/transparency/healthy competition among managers/ improved flexibility, creativity, strategy, etc/ ability for managers to build their own brand (branded cryptocurrency for investors to trade)/opportunity for brokers to attract worldwide investors/no centralized company/free participation in the network with same terms for all participants/ as well as a few other advantages. \n\nThe internal exchange mentioned above will be “the place where investors can purchase and sell managers’ coins. Managers have a limited amount of coins, which depends on their level. Initially, these coins can only be purchased directly from the manager for a fixed price. Afterwards, they can be freely traded among the investors on the internal exchange. In this case, investors set their own price for their managers’ coins. The cost of these coins will depend on the success of a manager’s trading because the manager’s profitable trading makes his/her coins ‘profitable.’” (Whitepaper p. 15). \n\n![download copy.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYDSXNjzNRMoq9HBXUueF676mc5tbMTQk7g6KzswSWNRd/download%20copy.jpg)\nImage From: carneyco.com\n\nThe Genesis Vision Whitepaper, p22., also lists a few possible problems however as well such as: \n\n- Scalability (currently on Ethereum blockchain but will switch if problems arise down the road)\n\n- Problems with currency conversion (“Brokers will receive money from investors in GVT, but they will need to transfer funds to the manager's account in the manager's account currency”.
