Integrate to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost.\"*** - **[stellar.org](https://www.stellar.org/)**</center>\n#\n#\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmbarjsiVN7JGCtqUCnqBYqa8JNg3oT1NxUKqAxCb9JEmt/image.png\n# <center>Part 1 - Forming of Stellar Development Foundation & its Mandate</center><hr></hr>\n#\n\n## Formation & Governance\n#\n\nThe Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) was incorporated in the middle of 2014 as a nonprofit organization with [Jed McCaleb](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jed_McCaleb) and [Joyce Kim](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joycekim/) as co-founders. The development of the network was initially lead by Jed McCaleb and [Prof.  David Mazières](https://www.stellar.org/about/#David_Mazieres), while the foundation was led by Joyce Kim as executive director. The board of directors consisted of Jed McCaleb, Joyce Kim, [Keith Rabois](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Rabois)(co-founder of PayPal) and [Patrick Collison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Collison)(CEO of Stripe).\n\n[Stripe](https://stripe.com) provided the initial contribution of $3 million to get the foundation up and going. They received 2% of Lumens (2 billion Lumens) in return. Four years later, at the time of writing, those 2 billion Lumens (which they received for $3 million) are worth $840 million. It is unclear how much of the initial distribution Stripe holds at present or how much they have auctioned off, but unless Stripe has changed their stance since 2014, whatever **profit they make by auctioning off their Lumens will be returned to the Stellar Development Foundation for their operating expenses**. You can read more about this on Stripes blog [here](https://stripe.com/blog/stellar).\n\n<hr></hr> \n\nSince its formation, the SDF has undergone some changes to its board of directors and leadership. According to [stellar.org](https://www.stellar.org/about/#Keith_Rabois), the current board consists of **Keith Rabois, [Shivani Siroya](https://www.linkedin.com/in/shivanisiroya/) (CEO of Tala) and [Greg Brockman](https://blog.gregbrockman.com/) (Former CTO at Stripe and co-founder of OpenAI).** \n\nJoyce Kim stepped down as Executive Director in 2016 to join SparkChain Capital as a Managing Partner. [Source](https://www.stellar.org/blog/thank-you/)\n\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmVuneHZGTyyRgVUygxjyD1dTPHNPUjpdjUwTAbenocteu/image.png\n <hr></hr>\n\n\n### Members\n\nThree individuals were elected as Members of the SDF at the time of incorporation. These Members serve for life and are in-charge of electing the **Board of Directors**.\n\nThe SDF Members are **Patrick Collison, David Mazieres and Jed McCaleb**. Each Member serves for life or until he or she becomes incapacitated or appoints a successor Member and resigns.\n\nMembers of Stellar.org are distinct from Directors (members of the Board of Directors). A Member can also be a Director and vice versa, but the Board and Members are entirely separate bodies with regard to SDF governance. [Source](https://www.stellar.org/about/governance/)\n#\n<hr></hr>\n<hr></hr>\n\n## [Mandate](https://www.stellar.org/about/mandate/)\n#\n\nThe mission of the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) is to promote global financial access, literacy, and inclusion. SDF accomplishes this by expanding worldwide access to low-cost financial services through the development and maintenance of technology and partnerships.\n\nSDF’s vision is an open and affordable financial system where people of all income levels can access simple-to-use, secure, and low cost financial services. SDF also aims to empower developers with useful technology to create financial products and services for their communities.\n#\n### Responsibilities\nTo promote global financial access, literacy, and inclusion, SDF has taken up the following responsibilities:\n\n* Develop and maintain a secure and low cost global transaction network (“Stellar Network”) and protocol (“Stellar Protocol”) that is high quality, open-source, and publicly accessible to everyone\n* Develop and maintain publicly accessible tools and services to support the Stellar Network and its users\n* Provide guidance and direction for the Stellar ecosystem\n* Promote adoption of Stellar as a worldwide payment standard\n* Distribute the native currency of the Stellar ecosystem, lumens, to the world to expand the reach of the network and create a more inclusive digital economy\n* Create and support technical and non-technical partnerships and educational initiatives to boost digital financial literacy and development efforts at the institutional and community level\n#\n\n### Funding\nSDF employs full-time and part-time employees, as well as contractors, to develop and execute programs that promote global financial access, literacy, and inclusion. Aside from personnel costs, other operational expenses include the costs of office rent, office amenities, hardware, software, and partnership and educational programs.\n\nApart from the initial seed of $3 million from Stripe, SDF has 3 main methods of funding their operations;\n\n1. 5% of the initially created Lumens were set aside as an operational fund. SDF auctions off these Lumens on various exchanges periodically.\n\n2. Charitable contributions from companies or individuals\n\n3. [Foundation membership](https://www.stellar.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/SDF-Membership.pdf)\n\n<hr></hr>\n<hr></hr>\n\n*Authors note: In **part 2** of this series, I will go over the native currency of the Stellar network (the Lumen). I will cover its creation, its distribution plan, its use case and much more. So if you found this interesting , gained some knowledge that you didn't know before or if you feel that the article can be improved in any way, please leave a comment below as I would love to get some feedback! Thanks, and see you again soon.*",

In fact, I was one of them as well. I got into the space after an offhand conversation I had with an acquaintance who was describing how this thing called \"Ethereum\" was appreciating so fast and that there was no signs of it stopping anytime soon. \n\nBy the end of the conversation I was convinced that this was the future and I could do no wrong by pouring money into Ethereum. So, no research, no getting accustomed to how these markets work, not much of an idea on what a \"wallet\" was (*Paper wallet? What even is that?*), I signed up to an exchange and put in $1000 convinced I'll be a millionaire by the end of year.\n\nI don't think it would come as a surprise to anyone that this was not how it actually came to be. The time I made the purchase was the middle of June, and as it turned out, that was the time the market took a downturn for Ether. Within a couple of weeks, I had lost over half of my initial investment. I felt like banging my head for how stupidly I had entered the whole market. I think this is the time when most people would have lost faith and exited the market licking their wounds, calling it all a scam and vowing to never return again. But, fortunately for me, I had been doing my research while my future \"million dollars\" were dwindling (better late than ever I guess). And instead of being convinced the whole thing is a scam, I was becoming more and more aware just how big of a fundamental shift this space was inevitably going to bring to the future of humanity as a whole.\n\nI think most people tend to equate blockchain as a disruptive technology akin to services such as Uber and AirBnB.But what everyone should understand is that blockchain isn't disruptive, its **foundational**! The closest thing that comes close to the innovation of blockchain technology is the introduction of TCP/IP in 1972. Back then, TCP/IP gained traction as a *single use* case; as a basis for email among the researchers as ARPAnet [[1]](https://hbr.org/2017/01/the-truth-about-blockchain). I suggest you read [this](https://hbr.org/2017/01/the-truth-about-blockchain) article by the Harvard Business Review which does a great job explaining how TCP/IP evolved over time, and how it and blockchain have much in common.\n\n## **Anyways, now for the advice!**\n\n### <center> **\"Don't rush into it.\"**  **\"Start by paper trading.\"**</center>\n\n### \n<center>![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNixiFcHRRxKfweCQVub2JNC3ZFkojN98dkJvNoHwfzpW/image.png)</center>\n###\n\nJust..don't be an idiot like I was. It's easy to get carried away when you're entering this whole new world of trading where 10% daily gains is not only common, but sometimes even **taken for granted** by some. Don't let everything overwhelm you. There is much to learn and it can sometimes be an information overload. So, take your time before you commit your hard earned money into the market. **You are an early adopter!** Not much more than 1% of the world population is currently in the market. So there is no reason to rush. Take your time to get your head around everything. \n\nWhile you are doing your research, start **paper trading**. This will prove extremely helpful to you when you finally decide to enter the market. What you should do is keep a written record of trades you **would** have made if you were in the market. So, if you feel like you would have bought in at a certain time and price, write down what price you would have entered at, how much you would have put in, and when you would expect to exit the trade. This would help you get an understanding of the market and how it works in general. You would also be able to see clearly which strategies are working, and which are not. Through this you'll be able to refine your trading strategies and give you confidence overall when you finally decide to enter the market. I can't stress how important this is. You will essentially be running a proof of concept on your trading strategies.\n\n### <center> \"Don't invest more than you can afford!\" </center>\n###\n\nKeep in mind that investing in cryptocurrencies is **extremely risky**. Part of being an early adopter is that it brings risk as much as reward. So **please** don't invest more than you can afford to lose!\n\n### <center>\"Have fun!\"</center>\n###\nLastly, have fun! Making money is a game, and you should enjoy it. Don't let this consume your life. Remember there is much more important things than money. So, don't let the market consume your life. Find time to rest and relax as much as trade. Also, go have a read on [10 tips of money making](https://www.gobankingrates.com/net-worth/10-best-money-tips-robert-kiyosaki-all-time/) by Robert Kiyosaki while you're at it.\n#\n#\n#\n<h3> <sub><sub> ***Disclaimer: I'm in no way claiming that I'm an expert. In fact, I consider myself to be still learning. But I thought I'd put this up because I believe this is good advice in general that most people should follow when getting started. I'd appreciate your feedback as well. Thanks!***</sub></sub></h3>",
