Since his humble beginnings as a child actor in The Mighty Ducks and First Kid, Brock Pierce has utilized his entrepreneurial spirit to develop and fund over one hundred companies, including Tether which is the #1 most traded cryptocurrency with an annual volume of $10 trillion and a daily trading volume that surpasses Bitcoin at $21 billion. Brock also founded Blockchain Capital with which he gave rise to the security token offering (STO), allowing people to make secure investments in digital currency.  Additionally, he constructed a valuable platform for launching cryptocurrency methods in a revolutionary process called Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) and established the first digital marketplace for virtual goods within online gaming which is projected to reach $190 billion in revenue by 2025. All of these innovations have ultimately led to establishing new fields of work which have created new jobs for Americans.   Inspired by the widening wealth inequality and the polarizing political spectrum, Pierce has launched his campaign to become President of the United States and seeks to minimize our negative impact on the environment through preservation of renewable resources and supporting small businesses through new technology-oriented solutions. Additional prospects include mental health initiatives and helping everyday Americans maximize their wealth.   As a philanthropist, Brock established the Integro Foundation whose mission is to revive communities and nations in times of crisis by mobilizing different organizations and government agencies. Most recently, the organization worked extensively in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean Islands, and with indigenous communities in response to the destruction caused by Hurricane Maria. Brock's professional experiences have generated a passion for due process and the rule of law which led him to form the Brock Pierce Foundation, bringing to light key issues in the fields of education, civil rights, mental health/medicine research, and the arts.   Brock’s pioneering in both new technology and philanthropy have earned him two honorary ambassadorships in South Korea as well as being knighted in 2019 by the Ordine dei Cavalieri di San Martino del Monte delle beatitude. As a guest lecturer and speaker, Brock has shared his knowledge at Singularity University, the Mobile World Congress, WIRED, INK, Stanford University, USC, and UCLA. His contributions to the fields of technology and philanthropy have been featured in The New York Times, Forbes, Fortune, WIRED, and Rolling Stone.

The purpose of the software is to help companies meet Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) government requirements. Most recently, IdentityMind has begun to put more focus on Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) and Security Token Offerings (STO).

Their digital currency, regulatory, and risk management experience, can take the regulatory work off your plate. The plug-in operates a system of checks and balances preventing your ICO from running in countries you are not allowed to, or perhaps wouldn't want to, do business. It also provides a turnkey SaaS solution that performs a KYC and AML checks on prospective ICO participants and ensures you are government needs in most countries.

1. ARE INVESTORS GETTING AHEAD OF THEMSELVES? The cumulative proceeds from Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) – the cryptocurrency equivalent of a stock’s Initial Public Offering – have reached $3.8 billion, according to Coindesk. Are investors getting ahead of themselves in all these new ICOs? “Probably,” Crumb says. “Just like the dot-com bubble, most of them will return to their intrinsic value, which is 0.” But that’s the point. Bitcoin is “one of the most perfect medium of exchanges we’ve ever had,” Crumb says. “Just like we had no idea what the Internet was going to do, but we knew it was important, this wave of cryptocurrency capital is pushing all of these things to crazy multiples.” In other words, some will win. Some will lose. But cryptocurrencies are here to stay. Another thing to note about the nearly $4 billion in ICO proceeds: There’s no transparency. “I think that number is totally fraudulent,” Crumb says. “There are so many wash trades of financing these things. So we see this big number, but it may just be shifting back and forth between different ICOs.” That says nothing about the “revolutionary” nature of cryptocurrencies more broadly, Crumb says. “I think that we have another period of rounding up and taking a lot of these ICO people to jail,” Crumb says. That’s what has happened in transformative markets throughout history. 2. ISN'T BITCOIN A BUBBLE? “The annual production of bitcoin is now larger than the silver market, larger than the lead market, and we’re approaching zinc,” Crumb says. “It’s still probably only 10% of the gold market. But it’s getting into the levels of value where people are going to have to start to trade this asset class.” This is important. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies recently hit $600 billion. That’s larger than the market cap of massive companies like Amazon (AMZN), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) and Exxon Mobil (XOM). Mr. Market is advising investors to take cryptocurrencies seriously. Still, a lot of investors believe bitcoin is a bubble. Crumb turns this argument on its head. He says to consider the “bubbly” nature of more traditional asset classes. “Look at the size of the fiat government bond bubble,” he says. Crumb asks whether you are more confident you’ll be able to send your son or daughter to college in 10 years with money invested in bitcoin or European government bonds? “If I was going to buy a European bond with a negative interest rate, nominally we already know it won’t get to par. In real terms, I absolutely think there’s no way 10 years from now. So as a store of value I think that’s a massive bubble,” he says. As for bitcoin, “It could pay for your son’s college in the next 2 months. That’s what people are buying it for right now.” Short-term, say in the next three months, Crumb says he’s unsure of the price of bitcoin. But, in three years, he thinks the price of bitcoin is higher. After the fallout from the wave of questionable ICOs that sends some to jail, Crumb thinks there will be these “adaptive peaks, where more and more people are coming in and getting comfortable with bitcoin.” 3. CAN THE ESTABLISHMENT CONTROL CRYPTOCURRENCIES? Many are speculating about the launch of fedcoin, a national cryptocurrency controlled by the Federal Reserve. These people think, as cryptocurrencies are more broadly adopted, the government won’t let them usurp the U.S. dollar and overtake the Fed’s control of the money supply. Might the establishment (governments or Wall Street types) attempt to undermine bitcoin? “I don’t think they can,” says Crumb. “You have to remember, central banks created this. It was their control of the market that caused people to say, ‘I don’t like you controlling it. I’m going to figure out a way to create a currency no one could control.’” In other words, Pandora’s Box has been opened. And there’s no turning back now.

China verbiedt nieuwe cryptovaluta als middel voor investeren in startups, de zogeheten Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's). Kan een overheid dit wel tegenhouden?

Initial Coin Offerings (ICO's) represent a new way for entrepreneurs to fund their businesses. In this episode I chat to Rob and Jaco from Sports Podium about their upcoming ICO and token sale and what they've learnt in the process of working with cryptocurrency backed alternative funding vehicles.

Token sales, often called Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), are exploding in popularity. Seemingly each week a new record is hit with huge sums being raised by alpha-stage projects in almost no time. William Mougayar, an investor, author and blogger, who has been at the forefront of the token sale movement joined us to unpack the most dynamic trend in the blockchain ecosystem. We cover the great promise of token sales in disrupting venture capital and changing how startups are build and grown. We also address the apparent irrationality of valuations and what distinguishes a responsible from a reckless token sale. Topics covered in this episode: The current state of the ICO market Issues with recent ICOs such as BAT, Bancor and Gnosis Why more attention needs to be paid to the relationship between token and application usage How one should think about token valuations Whether we are in a bubble or not How VCs are responding to disruption through ICOs Episode links: Startup Management Blog "The Ultimate Reading List for Blockchain, Token and Cryptocurrency Sources" "Tokenomics – A Business Guide to Token Usage, Utility and Value" Raising Tokens to Build a Company or an Ecosystem?
