OXFORD, UK and GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: Coinschedule, the British blockchain portal, and Trecento Blockchain Capital, an asset management company, have announced today the launch of a joint investment fund called “Coinschedule Trecento BC Fund”, which will invest in early stage blockchain companies including token offerings and equity-based deals.

Coinschedule was founded in 2016 by two blockchain early adopters. With the help of scientists from the University of Oxford, Coinschedule has developed a unique algorithm called Coinschedule TrustScore. TrustScore is able to assign a credibility score to each blockchain project based on dozens of data points.

The company found that blockchain projects that score highly with the TrustScore algorithm tend to perform better in the long run.

The joint fund will use this information together with Coinschedule’s blockchain expertise to help select the best potential investment projects. Trecento Blockchain Capital’s team will then assess the opportunity making the decision to invest.

Launched in 2018, Trecento Blockchain Capital is an asset management company fully dedicated to Blockchain investing. The company is part of the Trecento Group, founded in 2012 by Alice Lhabouz, that already owns Trecento Asset Management (managing circa $200 million on behalf on institutional investors). It is formed by a team of investment professionals and experts in technology and blockchain.  Trecento Blockchain Capital’s aim is to generate significant returns for their investors by investing in the best blockchain projects with a long-term view, within a compliant and regulated legal framework.

“We are very excited to partner with such a young yet successful team that can bring all their expertise and best practices from the traditional financial markets into the blockchain world”, said Alex Buelau, CEO of Coinschedule.

Alice Lhabouz, founder at Trecento Blockchain Capital, said “We are looking forward to help fund incredible blockchain projects at a time where many promising teams are finding it hard to raise capital. Partnering with Coinschedule will enable us to find the needle in the haystack of blockchain projects.”

This fund has the ambition to provide institutional investors, eager to benefit from the amazing blockchain business opportunities, with a regulated and professional investment fund.

The two companies are working closely together and the Coinschedule Trecento BC Fund will be launched in the coming weeks alongside with a new fund tracking section on the Coinschedule Portal.

Blockchain Capital LTD is a new player of a crypto market who has appeared recently. It offers to WBT index token to make money with the rise of cryptocurrencies’ value. Investor provides his money to TOP20 of existing cryptocurrencies when buying this token. So, he doesn’t need to think about strategy of work for each tool or to create a lot of wallets. WBT increased in price well to the moment, but you still able invest in it to win your jackpot, because company’s greatest successes are ahead.

What is Blockchain Capital LTD and its WTB token?

Company’s creators brought to the market a platform that accumulates investment funds and distributes them among the TOP20 cryptocurrencies using smart contracts. This is a digital fund, and it comes to be better in future in comparison with traditional banks.

Company is registered at St. Vincent and the Grenadines. This choice is explained by the fact that its jurisdiction allows to conduct actions through the whole world. The management have a plan to move company to Switzerland in the future.

In fact, each investor receives portfolio investments to the crypto. By investing in WBT tokens, you’ll get 20 crypto assets immediately. Moreover, the smart contract distributes funds between them independently. The advantages of the approach are:

• no need to make a couple of dozens of personal wallets and store passwords (reliability increases);
• no need to register at exchanges and to form an investment portfolio manually (you can save your time, and you don’t need to learn how to work at exchanges);
• your personal investment strategy: there are more than 2000 coins in total; choosing the 20 most promising and reliable from the investment point of view is not an easy task, and it has already been solved for you;
• diversification of risks: if there’s some problems with any cruptocurrency, it is obviously that other 19 cryptocurrencies will face with difficulties too; so, portfolio investments have great protection.

To illustrate the benefits of portfolio investment, we compare the potential result of investing in Bitcoin and crypto portfolio for 2017:

• if you bought Bitcoin at the beginning of 2017 and you would exchange the crypto for fiat currency for the peak cost of the first one, your profit is $19261 from $2000 at the start;

• if you choose the second option, your profit from $2000 would be $115834 for 20 cryptocurrencies.

This situation may continue in the future, so portfolio investments are more promising compared to investments in any Altcoin.

A brief history and roadmap of Blockchain Capital

We listed the main dates and future plans of the company:

• September 14, 2017 – Blockchain Capital was registered;
• October 2017 – February 2018 – ICO stage. At the first step BCT (Blockchain Capital Tokens) were implemented as investment coins. ICO was successful and they get the money for further development;
• February 8, 2018 – WBT start of sales; Smart contract development are finished (it ensures the distribution of investor funds among the TOP20 cryptocurrencies);
• July 8, 2018 – SCO started (secondary coin sale);
• August 1, 2018 – 20.8 million BCT emission.

Nearest plans of the company are:

• an internal exchange will be launched. Not only the company’s token will be traded, but also third-party altcoins;
• a listing of the BCT token using an international exchanges is planned, and it should cause an increase of its value.

Token price was $1 at the start of sales, now it doubled, and all the current investors received +100% income. According to the estimates of the Blockchain Capital team, they’ll reach the $50-100 barrier for a token.

So, despite the twofold increase of token value, it is still a great time to invest in it. The company is developing, entering new markets, the number of investors is growing constantly.

Already, the number of active investors has exceeded 1,300 persons, so the token it popular. There are investors from Germany, Russia, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Dubai.

There’s an examples of successful investment. You can see above an example of an investor who earned about $ 1000 in 21 days.

Is investment safe?

The company buys a crypto using crypto-counters and provides the highest possible level of security. Cryptocurrency related to WBT token is stored on hardware wallets with a maximum possible level of protection.

Since the time smart contracts was implemented, any user at any time of the day can go to etherscan.io and track how exactly the invested funds are distributed. It is simply impossible to falsify this information when it is recorded to Blockchain, the immutability of blocks that are already added is one of its properties. So there’s no theoretical opportunities to abuse the trust of investors while using Blockchain Capital.

Conclusion

Blockchain Capital is a really promising project. The idea itself is not new, this approach is also used in ETF funds, but here’s a great implementation of the concept. And also creators have ambitious plans for the future, so the company has the chance to become one of the most successful ones and to multiply the investments of early investors.

While WBT index token doesn’t grow too fast, it’s time to invest in it. We recommend to do it on an ongoing basis, gradually increasing the number of tokens purchased. The probability of its growth in the future is great.

Vast amounts of CFD brokers offer cryptocurrency trading. But even in an environment with tough competition, there are only a very few good brokers worth choosing. Choosing a good broker right from the beginning of your trading journey is very important as it can save you not only some money but also your nerves if you were to choose a shady company. There are already many good websites about cryptocurrencies that compare the best cryptocurrency brokers on the market. We could approach the post exactly the same and put the most popular regulated cryptocurrency brokers side by side. We, however, chose a different path and we will just point out which features you should look for from your cryptocurrency broker. By doing so, we will not give any company an edge, making this article completely objective.

Choose cryptocurrency broker with license

With so many scam brokers out there, you do not want to fall into a trap. Before you even consider trading with a cryptocurrency broker, check whether it is regulated. In Europe, we recognise the CySEC license, in Australia the ASIC and in the UK the FCA. When a company is regulated, they are overseen by a regulatory body that basically prohibits them from doing any unethical activities. If a broker would operate in a bad faith, the regulator would immediately slap them with a heavy penalty. Surprise, surprise, brokers do not like paying them, so they do their best to avoid them.

Fees – Key factor when selecting crypto broker

No matter how annoying fees are, there is no way to escape them. CFD cryptocurrency brokers tend to have at least two fees. The first one which has any broker is a spread. To calculate this fee, basically deduct the bid price from the ask price and you get the spread. So, if the bid price is $6,580 for one BTC and the ask price is $6,500, the spread is $80. If you purchase a smaller portion of Bitcoin, the fee is of course smaller. The second fee that some CFD crypto brokers charge is called an overnight fee. As the name suggests, this fee applies whenever you stay in a position overnight. Cryptocurrency traders and investors who want to let their position open for a number of days or months should definitely choose a broker that does not have the overnight fee.

Trading platforms – Huge differences

Many traders use outside sources for technical and fundamental analysis. If you are, however, one of the traders who like to have everything in one place, you should choose a trading platform accordingly. To stand out from the competition, brokers try to provide the best possible trading experience with ultimate trading platforms. These platforms usually have advanced technical analysis tools, historical quotes and frequently some social features so you could talk with traders alike. Occasionally you can find on the market even brokers that have a social trading platform that allows copying trades of the top perming traders and investors on the platform.

Minimum deposit – Can be as small as $10

Most CFD cryptocurrency brokers have a minimum deposit around 100 or 200 dollars. Whilst most crypto enthusiasts invest significantly more, you should choose a broker in accordance with your financial situation. Is a $100 minimum deposit issue for you? No worries. Today are on the market even brokers where you can start trading with real money even with as little as 10 dollars.

Demo account for cryptocurrency trading

Unlike crypto exchanges, crypto brokers offer a free practice demo account so you could try trading without risking losing funds. With the usage of a demo account, you can freely trade and invest as you would do so on a real account, with one slight difference which is that you are managing imaginary chips. This will not only allow you to get the grasp on CFD crypto trading but also to test the trading platform of your broker. If it will not meet your requirements you can decide to switch your broker and trade elsewhere.

We have been waiting for this moment! And it has come!

Digital advertising ecosystem startup blends ICO models for €8M second round of ICO

Sept. 28, 2018 — Lyon — Digital advertising startup Varanida has begun Round 2 of its token offering, which will only be open for the next two weeks. This new round marks the debut of a new, hybrid model of funding that merges the traditional ICO structure with the DAICO approach, proposed by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, combining the best of both approaches.

The DAICO model was designed to give investors more control over the project team’s access to the funds that had been raised, a philosophy that Varanida is certainly adopting for their crowdsale as well.

The VAD token, Varanida’s utility token, is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. For this funding round, Varanida is accepting BTC and ETH, with the soft cap – the minimum cost required to build the protocol –  set at €8 million.

Varanida was founded in 2014 in France with the goal of bringing the decentralized commerce of cryptocurrency to the digital advertising and media space. The internet relies on advertising, but is facing diminishing returns as people ignore online ads. Advertisers have often responded by making ads more obtrusive and difficult to get rid of, leading to the widespread use of ad blockers.

As a solution to this intractable situation, Varanida brings an open, transparent and efficient ecosystem that uses blockchain technology to improve online digital content and create incentives for less intrusive ads that people actually want to see. Since it first opened the platform to users, Varanida has seen a huge uptick in users, more than 120,000 to date, as word of the ecosystem has spread, validating the need for exactly this kind of change to the online experience.

Varanida is splitting this funding round into three sub-rounds, with milestones chosen by the community from a set of realistic options, thus giving insight into what the Varanida community considers critical. And, while investors cannot arbitrarily demand a refund, failing to hit those milestones will trigger an automatic refund from Varanida. Whatever tokens remain unsold of the one billion token supply will be burned.

“Our goal has always been to improve the way the digital market provides services and content, while treating privacy, data ownership and online users’ experiences with the greatest respect.This round of our ICO will get our team and investors one step closer to fulfilling that vision, while making Varanida part of the evolution of ICOs.” Varanida CEO Anji Ismail declared.
