Dascoin Opportunity presentation-in-english 1

Editor's Notes

1. Always start by connecting with your audience on a personal level. - Introduce yourself and what you will be covering in the presentation (an amazing opportunity in a cutting edge technology market). - What is your background? - How long have you been involved? - Why are you excited by this? Why you’re excited to share this with others? - Who got you involved – a good time to edify the them – What is their background? Have they been successful or achieved incredible things? - What does the community mean to you and why is it special? - What drives you? - What do you want people to feel after watching this presentation?
2. Think about how these technologies have transformed your world and how easily we now take them for granted. - Imagine only being able to work or read by candle light or during the day – especially in the winter when the days are short. The light bulb transformed our productivity - How many of you would feel confident filing your tax return or even splitting a meal with friends without a calculator? - Could you live without your computer? Think beyond your PC. There are computers in the car you drive, the planes that take you on holiday, the supermarket checkout and even your fridge. - Now we all have a computer in our pockets allowing us to stay connected, ahead of the news and plugged into a world of information.
3. Perhaps the biggest change of all is the internet itself. Use your life experience. What was life like before you had these services? Bring one of these services to life through a personal story. - How many of you used Google Maps or Sat Nav today? Maybe you even used it to get to this meeting today. - When was the last time you went to a library or really struggled to find some information? We have all the world’s knowledge at our fingertips now thanks to sites like Wikipedia. - 1 in 3 marriages now starts online. Who knows someone who met their partner online or on a dating app like tinder? Maybe you did! - Think about all the choice you have when shopping online. There is almost nothing that isn’t available online. The internet has completely changed every aspect of our lives and given us the power to do things we never thought were possible.
4. But what’s really exciting is what’s going to change next. I want to show you what we believe is going to be the next big technology revolution that will change people’s lives just like the internet and computers before that.
5. Money itself is going to change dramatically in the next few years. How many times have you paid for something with cash this week? Now think about how many times a week you used cash to pay for things 10 years ago. In many cases cards have almost replaced cash entirely. How many people have used their phone to pay for something? Either online or with contactless payment. More and more we are starting to pay for everything digitally. The next big change will be the type of money you use. Fiat or government backed currencies like pounds and dollars are fast being replaced by cryptocurrency. You might have heard of Bitcoin or Ethereum. These cryptocurrencies are growing at a massive rate and gaining huge value as they become more popular.
6. The cryptocurrency market is growing fast. The total market grew hundreds of times in 2017 and this is just the beginning.
7. Look how that growth has impacted the price of one Bitcoin
8. There are thousands of different cryptocurrencies and their total value is growing incredibly quickly. Check the website Coinmarketcap.com. Here you can see the massive range of cryptocurrencies, how much each coin is worth and the total value of each currency which is know as its market capitalization. On this slide are some examples of different cryptocurrencies and how their value has risen in the last few months. In many cases the price of 1 coin has multiplied many many times.
9. Look at this example. How could $886,000 change your life? Would you spend $27 for an opportunity like this? This man purchased his Bitcoin in 2009 and the article was published in 2013. Look at the date of this article and what this amount would be worth now. It’s unbelievable to think that anyone can take advantage of this opportunity. Bitcoin is the most well known cryptocurrency not only because it was the first but because its value has multiplied thousands of times. Many people think they may have missed their opportunity with Bitcoin, but don’t forget what we just talked about - similar growth is happening across other cryptocurrencies and the market is growing faster than ever. This is just the beginning. If you have friends that have been successful with cryptocurrencies, talk about their story here. Make it personal. Maybe tell your own story if you’ve had success.
10. Even some of the world’s largest wealth creators have put their trust and support into cryptocurrency. Both of these entrepreneurs have been vastly successful identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities. But Bill Gates and Richard Branson both understand that Bitcoin won’t be the market leader forever.
11. Bitcoin hasn’t been able to evolve and keep up with other emerging cryptocurrencies and the regulation that is coming to market place. Both Branson and Gates know that Bitcoin won’t be the market leader forever because of one simple rule.
12. Pioneers are almost always replaced by a second more successful innovator who builds on the strength of the original idea to create something more powerful and valuable. Who can remember the last time you used Yahoo? Or Myspace? Or saw a Nokia phone? All have been superseded by better products and services who have innovated on what came before them. And look at how successful those who built on the original foundations have become. Google, Facebook and Apple are all now vastly more successful than their predecessors could ever have imagined they would be. This is already happening in cryptocurrency. An improved, easy to use and mainstream friendly cryptocurrency is just around the corner.
13. I’d like to introduce you to DasCoin – something that’s changed my life. I believe this is the future of cryptocurrency and digital payments. And I’d like to explain why.
14. Behind every company is a vision. This is Michael Mathias, the CEO of DasCoin. His vision is to change the life of millions by making DasCoin the world’s first mainstream cryptocurrency. This is a good opportunity to talk about your own experience of how DasCoin has changed your life? Why are you on this journey?
15. This vision has attracted the highest caliber global business leaders to join the project. Each member of the DasCoin board of directors brings a huge amount of experience to the table pushing DasCoin forward at the highest level and using their influence to work with global regulators and governments. These accomplished global players have so much confidence in the project that they are willing to put their reputations behind it. There are 4 non-executive independent board members on the DasCoin Board of Directors (pictured), one non-executive board member; Terry O’Hearn and one executive board member; Michael Mathias, the CEO Have you met any of these people? What are they like? Did they impress you?
16. And its not just DasCoin working towards this vision of a better way to store, create and exchange value. These are the founders of the DasAlliance – a select group of companies who all work together to build something even greater. We’ve already met Michael, but I want to let you know more about what the founders of the DasAlliance contribute to the ecosystem. Michael Mathias, the CEO of DasCoin has a lifetime of experience in financial services and founding and managing technology companies. As the founder of DasCoin, he is re-defining the way cryptocurrencies work, combining the best elements of new digital currencies with the strengths of existing financial systems to create a perfect balance. Terry O’Hearn, has extensive experience in the Fintech sector and is the Chairman of DasFinancial. DasFinancial connects the DasEcosystem with financial institutions in an effort to create new product offerings. DasFinancial will also lead the way in vetting partners who wish to conduct a DasCoin token asset offering, opening up a world of new value. On the far right is George Sarcevich. A veteran of Wall Street, George is the Director of WebWallet – a powerful digital wallet designed to be easy to use where can store your DasCoin and digital assets and trade them on DasExchange. Finally on the far left is John Pretto, a master of community building and incentivized marketing, John is the Director of NetLeaders – a global community spreading the word about DasCoin and educating the world about how to get involved. Have you met these guys before? Or seen them speak at events? Edify these people personally if you can and build trust through your own personal experience.
17. The DasAlliance is already taking shape in offices around the globe. A number of different companies and entities are coming together to create a new economy with over 100 specialists working towards something truly unique.
18. Together the DasAlliance have made DasCoin the ultimate digital currency with a long list of competitive advantages.
19. More than anything, DasCoin is built on superior technology. Cryptocurrencies use technology called the blockchain to verify transactions. The DasCoin blockchain has been designed from the ground up, focusing on speed and security enabling it to be attractive to both consumers, businesses and regulators. This is key. For a cryptocurrency to become mainstream businesses need to allow customers to use it as a payment method and regulators need to feel comfortable that the currency abides by the law. So how is DasCoin different? 1. Speed – For a cryptocurrency to be adopted for a wide range of business uses, it needs to be able to settle transactions quickly. Look at DasCoin compared to three of the largest cryptocurrencies out there. 2. Scalability – Speed is only one part of the equation. Its no good being able to process a transaction quickly if you can’t handle a high number of transactions simultaneously. The VISA network processes payments globally and can handle around 56,000 transactions per second. DasCoin can handle more than 100,000 each second. This kind of scalability will allow DasCoin to become a global mainstream payment solution. 3. Security – Everyone who uses DasCoin is KYC verified. Have you ever signed up for a bank account? You probably had to show ID? DasCoin is no different. This is a banking standard process that ensures participants are verified and can’t commit fraud or money laundering. In addition to this the DasCoin network is run and maintained to the highest standards remaining ahead of threats and secure. DasCoin can already outperform the world’s most valuable cryptocurrencies in these crucial areas. Imagine how valuable it could become.
20. Who here has owned crypto currency? Finding a safe place to store it is difficult. You either have to understand how to use digital wallets which can be extremely difficult to set up OR you have to hold your cryptocurrency in an exchange. As many of you may know this isn’t secure and major exchanges like Mt.Gox have disappeared in the past - loosing tens of millions of dollars worth of users cryptocurrency. Ultimately it’s hard to trust the people who keep your cryptocurrency safe.This is a great place to tell personal stories and involve your audience. Storing cryptocurrency is notoriously difficult. Do you know someone who’s lost their private keys? With WebWallet, you don’t have to worry. You can store and trade your DasCoin in one place easily and safely. WebWallet is a digital wallet designed to be used by everyone - it’s intuitive and user focused. Security was designed into the system from the start. Every user requires the Validator hardware device to access, move or exchange their funds. This prevents hacking or theft by allowing you, and only you access to your funds when the Validator is connected to your computer - giving you total control of your finances and peace of mind that your digital assets are secure.
21. But WebWallet isn’t just the safest way of storing your DasCoin. It also contains a wide range of financial tools like DasExchange. A user friendly and easy to understand trading platform that allows you to trade your DasCoin with other users. Users can trade DasCoin for webEuros (Euros that are accounted for on the blockchain).
22. So we know the Ecosystem allows you to store and exchange your DasCoin easily and safely. But DasCoin is capable of so much more. What I am about to show you next is the reason DasCoin will be the worlds first mainstream digital currency.
23. DasPay is a game changer. The biggest problem with cryptocurrency right now, is that it can’t be used to buy products and services in the real world. How many of you have ever visited a shop that accepts Bitcoin? Could you live your life just shopping at that store? Think about how valuable Bitcoin has become despite the fact you can barely use it anywhere at all. DasPay changes all of this and allows DasCoin to become the first mainstream cryptocurrency solution.
24. But this is only the start of what DasCoin is capable of because it sits at the heart of something much larger. A completely unique ecosystem of real world utilities, tools and applications that multiply each others value.
25. The DasAlliance work together create the world’s most integrated blockchain economy. All the tools you need to be ready for tomorrow’s economy. Not just a currency but the infrastructure and applications to make that currency useful and capable of changing the world.
26. This new integrated blockchain economy is called DasNet and it is made up of 4 fundamental layers. Each layer plays a crucial role in presenting an entirely new way, a better way for businesses and customers to interact in the future
27. At the very core of DasNet is our authenticated community. This community not only has excusive access to this new world of blockchain based services and applications, but can actually decide the future of which applications and services they would like to exist on the platform.
28. The second layer of DasNet is the Platform Layer. This consists of interoperable and intercommunicating blockchains that can be developed for any industry. Currently the DasCoin blcokchain is the first of these and the second is an industry blockchain for the fashion world which was announced in Paris March 26. The fashion industry, like many other creative industries, requires confidential sharing of designs among multiple parties. Protecting intellectual property in this fluid ecosystem has always been a challenge and previously the only solutions were expensive and inefficient.   Using DasCoin’s fast, secure and scalable blockchain technology DasCoin is creating an auditable, traceable and efficient platform for sharing and protecting designs and authenticating final products. Smart contracts, automated non-disclosure and other legally binding agreements will ensure that designs are only released to authenticated partners, and that their use is controlled and audited. Individual garments can be coded and registered on the blockchain to prove authenticity. All this can happen seamlessly, quickly and at very low cost meaning that no parts of the supply chain are excluded. The third layer is the Application Services layer. This provides all the support a business would need to build a blockchain application from the ground up and flourish. Let’s take a closer look
29. As businesses join DasNet, the Application Services that will be made available to them range from Marketing, to Technical Support, Business Support and Customer Support, providing a full end-to-end business solution. Businesses will not only have access to the highest calibre blockchain technology in the world but but leading edge services to bring their business to life
30. Together the elements of the Das ecosystem form a powerful economy. DasCoin is a powerful cryptocurrency that will enable the functions in the top right of the diagram on screen. We’ve spoken about some of the applications possible with smart contracts – for example protection of designs in the fashion industry and beyond. DasFinancial is working on some of the financial products in the bottom left corner of this diagram which will allow financial institutions to access and use the Das ecosystem. But the blockchain itself can be used to store more than just the important financial records that power DasCoin. In the future the DasCoin blockchain will be used to store other valuable data securely. These could include health care records, land registry information, ownership rights and even voting records. The Das ecosystem will be able to add value to almost any industry and help create completely new ones. The possibilities are truly endless.
31. So how can we make sure that more and more people are able to enjoy this new ecosystem and hear about its benefits? Welcome to NetLeaders, the growth engine of Das ecosystem.
32. Everyone that joins NetLeaders is not only able to access the Das ecosystem and all the features we’ve just discussed, including DasCoin – they are also rewarded for welcoming new members into the network. The incentive for growing the community ensures the Das ecosystem will always grow. So how do you join and become part of this exciting new ecosystem of products, services and value?
33. A NetLeaders License gets you this access. And there are 6 different options in terms of pricing – depending on how much you want to use the Das ecosystem’s products and services. You can get in where you fit in and find the right license for you.
34. But what is a NetLeaders License? Well it gives you three things: AuthenticationYou’ll go through the KYC process - your name and address are checked to confirm your identity before you're allowed to access the Das ecosystem AccessYou will receive a license certificate and will establish the keys to a WebWallet where you can store your DasCoin and purchase Das ecosystem products and services CapacityYou will receive Cycles - units of network capacity on DasNet. So lets have a closer look at Cycles and what they do
35. Cycles are the lifeblood of DasNet. Once you’ve been issued with Cycles, you can either us them for application services or submi them to the DasCoin minting queue to create DasCoin.
36. This diagram shows how Cycles can be used to mint DasCoin. Once a user has chosen to submit their Cycles to become DasCoin, they enter the Minting Queue. The DasCoin Minting Queue creates DasCoin on a first come, first serve basis. The Frequency determines the conversion rate between Cycles and DasCoin. When you purchase a NetLeaders License you receive a Frequency Lock that ensures you’ll always receive this conversion rate when you submit your Cycles to become DasCoin. For example if your License has a Frequency Lock of 10 and you submitted 20 Cycles to the Minting Queue, you would divide your 20 Cycles by a Frequency of 10 and receive 2 DasCoin.
37. So what is the maximum amount of DasCoin you could receive if you decided to submit all of your Cycles to the Minting Queue? Looking at the table above we can see how this would be calculated. Every License purchased comes with a fixed amount of Cycles. If there is a bonus promotion happening – like there is now, you may also receive some additional Cycles. A Network Upgrade happens every 108 days and allows you to double your total amount of Cycles. You can see that some licenses can take advantage of this factor more than once – up to 3 times with a Presidents License. Once Cycles are submitted to the DasCoin Minting Queue to become DasCoin they are no longer doubled as part of Network Upgrades – loosing this advantage. This encourages people to hold their Cycles rather than Minting them all into DasCoin and selling them as quickly as possible. This strengthens the Das ecosystem by encouraging the storing of value. Finally, Frequency is the conversion rate between Cycles and DasCoin which we discussed earlier. We’ll go through this in detail shortly to illustrate how important this number is. So taking an example, lets look at the Executive License. If you purchased this today you’d receive 65,000 Cycles as standard plus 30% extra thanks to the bonus promotion, totalling 84,500. You could then double this amount in a Network Upgrade and then if you chose to wait a further 108 days, double it again to make 338,000 Cycles in total. You could either keep these Cycles to exchange or redeem products or services within the Das ecosystem OR submit them to the Minting Queue to create DasCoin. At the currency Freuquency this amount of Cycles would yield 19, 314 DasCoin.
38. So why is Frequency so important? Frequency represents the conversion rate between Cycles and DasCoin. As the network expands the Frequency increases, because the number of Cycles is takes to mint one DasCoin increases too. When you purchase a license your Frequency – or conversion rate, is locked at the time of purchase. - The sooner you purchase a license, the lower your Frequency lock. - The lower your Frequency lock the more DasCoin your Cycles will yield.  You can see this illustrated in the diagram on the right hand side. This shows the maximum amount of DasCoin you could yield with the Cycles from an Executive license. And you’ll see the number decreases over time as the Frequency increases. Those that bought their license in December 2017 received more DasCoin in the end than those who purchased in March 2018 – over 2000 more coins in-fact. This is key. To take full advantage of the opportunity it benefits you to commit quickly. Those who committed early to the Das ecosystem could yield more DasCoin in recognition of the trust they placed into this opportunity. As the Das ecosystem becomes more developed more and more people will want to get involved and the value will be distributed across a wider group. Lets see what committing to this opportunity could mean.
39. Think back about everything we’ve spoken about. DasCoin is a powerful cryptocurrency that outperforms some of the leading cryptocurrencies in many different areas. But its true value lies in the products and services that will be provided by the Das ecosystem it is apart of. As this offering matures and develops it will become more and more attractive. You can purchase a NetLeaders License now that will give you access to the Das ecosystem and the opportunity to submit Cycles to the DasCoin Minting Queue straight away. The numbers on this slide are strictly for illustration purposes and cannot be taken as financial projections, but as you can see – the possibilities here are potentially endless.
40. So what’s next?The Das ecosystem has already achieved some major milestones. The launch of the blockchain in Zurich, the launch of the DasExchange in Tokyo and most recently the launch of DasCoin onto public exchanges at the O2 Arena in London. Hundreds of thousands of people are now able to purchase DasCoin on the open market increasing demand dramatically.However, the biggest announcement yet is still to come. DasPay will be launching on June 30 and is going to transform the cryptocurrency market. DasPay gives people the opportunity to spend their DasCoin in millions of merchants worldwide – something no other cryptocurrency has been able to achieve. Once DasPay launches, we expect the demand for DasCoin to increase significantly. Beyond this in 2018, we expect a number of high profile DasCoin token asset offerings will bring huge interest from business and corporate partners, eager to access the power of the Das ecosystem adding further value. This is just the start of something potentially life changing not only for yourself, but all of us.
41. Now you’ve heard the information I’ve given you, it’s time for you to make a choice. What is stopping you now from getting started and taking advantage of this incredible opportunity? For 9 out of 10 people, the only thing stopping them is themselves. I hope you can see the benefit in what we’ve talked about and its potential to change your life in the same way it has changed mine. Ask the audience: - What do you like best about what you’ve heard today? - What’s stopping you?
