Whenever I hear the words “reserved for big players” my ears stand up like a hunting dog. This term is used in Wall Street and in other investment platforms to get rich richer. Normal folks like you and me are not allowed to invest in different high-risk high reward tools, because a lot of people will not say anything when they win big, but will cry out when they lose a lot of money. Big players take calculated risks and they are mostly professionals, who dedicated their lives to this. The Elements Estates is making it easy to invest in distressed assets and they are making the legwork for us so we will win big time. There are a lot of distressed assets around the World and I do not know about you, but I do not have the time to search all of them. The team at Elements Estates simply purchases the best value asset with the lowest price, because they do a good search for it and they are trained with this skill. We get to enjoy the profits. The team will run quantitative, qualitative, static and dynamic analyses on the properties with cash-flow projections. Here is a short and sweet video that explains this platform: They basically redo the property, and improve its look, and sell it back with a profit. This is similar to what you see on TV with real estate shows where they buy something, fix it up, then sell it back on the market with a huge profit. As a customer, I am very happy that I will be able to buy or rent one of the properties they fixed, using ELES tokens, which should increase in value once the platform starts selling the properties on the market. It is also great that the only money accepted for these will be the ELES tokens, which should give us an advantage since the buyer market will be small, compared to the buyer market of the whole World. Smaller the buyer market, cheaper the prices. Another thing that will increase the value of the tokens is that every time there is a transaction, half of the tokens used to pay them will be locked out for three years. This means that the value of the ELES tokens will increase with every transaction. Although this sounds like the dreaded XRP, this token is needed to purchase the real estate on their platform, unlike XRP, which is not needed for the ripple platform for anything. The total supply of the ELES token is 250,000,000, which is, in fact, a low number for the pre-sale price of 0.40 USD per token. Considering BTC has 21 000 000 total supply with a 7000 USD price tag, decreasing the number of ELES tokens should be a huge boost on its price. For example, if 250 million tokens with 40 cents add up to 100 million USD, a decreased number of tokens, let’s say 200 million tokens will be 200/100= 50 cents per token, increasing the value per token. This will help investors as the platform works and the cogs turn. Another platform, Bob’s repair has been doing a similar thing, buying tokens from the investors and rewarding them to the contractors, which has been a very positive effect on the token price. It even doubled the price at one time. Because Elements Estates has this automatic, written on the smart contract, everything will be transparent and visible, using this trustless system to make money for us, the investors. This is a Real estate-backed token and the development will be after the Initial Coin Offering (ICO). Decisions on projects, which will be used as an underlying base, will be based on all standard analyses (, checked with our real estate advisors from CBRE, Colliers, or others, and on an algorithm developed by the Elements team that considers the level of risk and the associated rate of return. Get your house with some tokens :) Website: https://elementsestates.io/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/@ElementsEstates Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/elementsestates Telegram: https://t.me/ElementsEstates Let's Connect: https://twitter.com/BitCoinBanka https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1114493 https://bountyhive.io/r/ridertiger

You know how exchanges start off with zero trading fees to get customers and then stick them with high fees? Well, xCrypt promises zero trading fees forever. If I had a choice between an exchange that charges me money for trading and an exchange that does not, I would pick the free one every time, provided I can find the cryptos I can trade in their exchange. Usually, exchanges tend to charge both the tokens for listing and the customers for trading. They make double the money and if they are popular, they get real rich real quick. That is the reason so many exchanges are popping up these days, but since the early bird gets the worm, earlier exchanges make the most money. One of the reasons for that is the greed of the later exchanges, they want to charge both sides as well. If they could give up at least some of the potential profit, they could get more customers, in my opinion. Some of the new exchanges, such as trade.io does not charge customers up to a certain time period but everyone can see that once they start charging money, you will get used to it and it will be harder to get your funds out. So, free of charge trading is a big deal for many people, especially those who day trade, or those who trade a large number of tokens regularly. I also enjoy that the platform will have expert tutorials and webinars for many levels of traders and for regular people so they can learn some in and outs of trading, or crypto buying. You can always watch some youtube videos for that but the difference with these tutorials and webinars is that you can ask questions and you can interact with the person doing the teaching. A lot of websites skip this part, but part of the marketing should involve teaching because if your customer feels that he is learning something while using your service, then more of your customers will come back to use your service, which translates into more revenue for you. They will have bots built into the system so that you can order to buy the dip and sell at the peak, which is very useful for absent-minded people like me. A lot of times bots are very good at day trading and I cannot do it for the life of me. I understand that you give the order to buy for a low price and order to sell at a high price, and it is fine if there is volatility but it seems that whenever I sell, the price increases, and whenever I buy, the price decreases. So, I will be very happy with a bot doing that stuff and increasing my assets for me. Because they will have both a centralized exchange and decentralized exchange, it will offer something for every taste. One of the difficulties with exchanges, whether it is centralized or decentralized, is that they always trouble with regulators. With this platform, the exchange will not be running from regulation, but it will be running towards it. With a regulation-friendly approach, they can move on without a hitch and this will attract more customers. The exchange will use Peer to peer trading engine using lightning technology, so it is expected to be super fast. They are based in Malta, which everyone knows that a cryptocurrency friendly country, so I see no problems regulation wise. Here is some summary information on the ICO and its platform:
Token name: xCrypt Token abbreviation: XCT Max supply: 200,000,000 Token type: ERC20 Token Soft cap: 7 Million USD Hard cap: 75 Million USD Token value: 1 XCT = 1 USD Unsold tokens: Will be destroyed Key benefits: Utilities Token Website: https://www.xcrypt.club/ ANN: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4993175.0 Twitter: https://twitter.com/xcryptclub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/xCrypt Telegram:https://t.me/xCryptclub Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/xcryptclub/ Medium:https://medium.com/@xcryptclub Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/xcryptclub/ Let's Connect: https://twitter.com/BitCoinBanka https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1320709 https://bountyhive.io/r/ridertiger
There are plenty of decentralized marketplace and shopping platforms on the chain but to be a truly comprehensive shopping platform, it has to attract a lot of crowds and money, and I am pleased to see that Shopin seems to be the platform that does it. Its ICO has collected more than 40 million USD and they have great hype, and they have attracted many people to their native token, Shopin, which is 0.10 USD per token. If a platform attracts crowds, it means that it will be able to sign on many people to their platform and this is a must requirement for any retail shopping business, more people using their service. As a customer, I sign on to many retail platforms to use their own reward or loyalty programs, but they all have different reward points and it is hard to use these rewards because they never seem to amount to anything with the exception of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. These work fine because I pay a lot of money for flying, so the points add up quickly. When it comes to retail, however, I almost never get any free stuff. Shopin may change that by combining all these reward and loyalty programs, and you can finally use the combined points. For example, if I am shopping in retailer A, B, and C, and spending 100 USD on each, they may not add up to a reward I can get in any of them. But combined, my 300 USD will get me a loyalty reward. The retailers get to combine their power to attract more customers, and as a customer, I get to benefit from all the loyalty programs without signing on to all the different retailers and without spending huge amounts of money before I am rewarded.
Here is a comprehensive video about Shopin that explains what it does and how it does all these things: Shopin Animation from Shopin on Vimeo.
So, if you are an owner of a physical shop, you can join their program and get anonymous data on shopping habits of your customers. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, the platform will suggest ways to improve your business and find or carve out your niche. If you are a customer, your data will be safe. The data will be kept on the Ethereum chain and because it will be anonymous, the customer data will not be used to profit by any company, but it will be used for the retailers, and any time these data are used, the customer in the loyalty program will be paid in tokens, instead of Google or Facebook. This opens the way to Basic Universal Income, as we have seen in Star Trek. If you make money through your data, instead of giant companies, the revenue generated will be distributed more widely, benefiting more people, similar to airdrops in the crypto world. This is similar to what we see on Star Trek, where everyone is happy and has been working to better themselves, instead of working on jobs to make money.

It is hard to believe that just because someone uses a centralized service, they have to pay a high commission from their hard earned money. With this platform, you can find a good match yourself, or you can let their artificial intelligence do the legwork and find you a good match. We need centralized structures because they are convenient, but it seems that Hiway has formed the platform so that it is user-friendly, and everyone can connect and find the job that is right for them. As expected, this platform uses smart contracts instead of a centralized entity and it uses big data, the blockchain, and artificial intelligence. Here is a comprehensive video about Hiway that explains what it does and how it does all these things: One thing I like about platforms like these is that any reviews that are online cannot be bought, they have to be from real users who actually participated in a transaction. The records cannot be manipulated, cheated on, changed, or hacked in any way. This prevents any central authority from interfering with the meritocracy economy where people with the best skills get the highest funding as opposed to people with the most resources getting more resources, which is what is happening in the World. If I feel cheated by a system because of fake reviews or endorsements, I will not be likely to shop from that platform again, or I will not hire someone using that platform any time soon. With this platform Hiway, you can be sure that any person recommending the hire must have done a business with them before you do because this is a trustless system. This opens the way for a new type of work, what some people call a “gig economy” where you just work for the skill you are best at, as opposed to getting a diploma and working in a salary oriented position 9 to 5 every day of your life. Working with these systems help any person realize what they are good at, and if they persist, they can be the best. In the normal workforce environment, their skills would have to be approved by outside forces, which have their own politics. With Hiway, any person can do any job he/she likes any time, and they can be evaluated objectively by the people receiving the work. People doing the hiring can simply hire other people only when they needed and this reduces the overhead costs.
According to the CEO of the platform on Telegram, when the platform is being used, the token is backed by labor. I like that it is backed by labor as opposed to some tokens that are backed by gold, silver, or USD because these tokens cannot really prove their bold claims, they just make the claim that their tokens are backed by these things. This backed by something, in this case, labor provides stability to the token in a way that the value of the token does not fluctuate because a large percent of it is used as utility. This will decrease rapid growth in uptrends, and reduce drops in downtrends.

With a large amount of money invested, it is easy to imagine that these platforms will do just fine. The two technology companies, n-Gon Technologies, and Airlift, are both based in Doha - Qatar and Rotterdam - the Netherlands, which makes the connection of technology and funding. The private sale only collected about 800 000 USD, which is not a huge amount of money and I am glad it is not, because a lot of times these ICOs sell their tokens to private investors for pennies on the dollar and these investors sell everything once it hits the market, making a lot of money but leaving small-time investors with nothing but holding bags. This ICO looks like it has very nice rich owners and investors that are there for the long haul, as opposed to getting rich quick schemes. As the investment and insurance advisor, they have Sheikh Khalid Bin Nasser Al Thani, who is apparently a member of Qatar ruling family. On the technology side, the company is very much ahead, and they already have a prototype that can move around by itself (self-driving) and even ride elevators by itself! Here is a nice video of their prototype: This type of self-driving and delivering robot could be used in large campuses, closed streets, and large buildings as it rides elevators. Having such a robot eliminates legwork and people can focus on their actual work instead of running around giving things to each other, or hiring a gopher boy who may get tired and may not make all the deliveries. This is especially correct in various campuses, be it a university campus or Google campus. It can be used in closed military spaces as well, delivering things among different buildings. According to the website, less than 10 percent of the delivered cargo requires a van or a truck and about 40 percent of the deliveries are just one box. This thing could be what Amazon needs and I can tell you this much, if Amazon has been trying to do something, then it is definitely needed. The difference with Geeba is that it will not just try air drones, but it will use autonomous, self-driving land robots as well. Sounds like a dream come true, and it really is. The shipping platform will be powered by smart contracts, so you will never have to deal with another human again :) The company will start installing smart hubs in and around Rotterdam in 2019 and invite shipping companies to use them in 2020. It sounds like a nice rewarding roadmap that will take the business Worldwide once the technology matures. They may also be acquired by a larger company but it is my opinion that Qatar company will provide all the necessary funding for growth. Therefore, it is very likely that their native token GBA, which is 0.1 USD with the ICO price is a HODL token and may gain value in the near future.
