Hi Empirical

I'm revamping my web site BitShares French ConneXion. I'm currently writing an introduction text for the home page.

I like what you just wrote. Is that OK if I steal you a couple of sentences here and there for my  introduction ?

Thanks & of course, if there's anything useful there, feel free to use it  :)

Thanks, I'll probably use some parts of it ;p

My best example pitch at short notice...

....

As we all know, European governments are over-indebted, banks are over-leveraged & the world economy is slowing. Cyprus & Greece have already experienced the horror of waking up to find their banks closed, most of their funds inaccessible and even 'bailed-in'. With capital controls, negative interest rates & a war on cash, European individuals and businesses are rightly concerned.

However thanks to a ground-breaking company called BitShares, there is a simple solution.

In fact, in minutes you can open and fund an online account that is completely unexposed to the global financial and banking system. An account that is also anonymous if desired and lets you hold Euro, Pound, Dollar & other currency denominated balances. This account can't be seized, confiscated or targeted by any government.

So what is BitShares?

BitShares is a company that exists entirely in distributed code.   

The forerunner of this concept was Bitcoin. The first internet based currency started in 2009 which showed that it was possible to create a tamper proof, transparent currency that could be simultaneously processed by computers all over the world therefore making it very hard to shut down. Today Bitcoin is still the market leader with a capitalisation of $3.5 Billion, however the major drawback is that internet currencies can be very volatile and are also of limited use to individuals and businesses who would rather hold balances in major national currencies or gold and silver.

The key innovation BitShares has pioneered is a way to create transparent, stable currency products such as Euros & Pounds by backing them with a dynamic, over-collateralised pool of the internet based currency. The system has proved so successful that even when at one point the backing currency lost 90% of it's value, the major currency products remained fully backed & unaffected. This success has rightfully attracted a lot of interest from the financial media and industry partners including myself who despite it being a relative newcomer at just over a year old, believe BitShares will rapidly revolutionise our financial landscape.

Last month it was described in Forbes as being like 'having your savings, checking, and trading accounts in the palm of your hand, accessible from anywhere in the world' & a recent article on MaxKeiser.com titled BitShares as 'The technology that could make the New York Stock Exchange obsolete.' Personally as CEO of CCDEK, a Danish Exchange, I was so impressed by BitShares that I am transitioning to using it on the back-end  to provide my customers with maximum transparency, performance, security and privacy. I have also recently launched the NanoCard, a versatile, global, anonymous if desired debit card that can link to your BitShares account.
 
So whether you're an individual or a business that could benefit from a globally accessible, unseizable, private account, that can transfer funds anywhere in one second for less than 20 cents. Or alternatively if you'd like to invest in a company which actually benefits from the global downturn and financial instability then I'd highly recommend looking further into BitShares at BitShares.org or feel free to ask me any questions.

I feel part of the bitshares community now when I have a comment from @newmine in one of my threds, thanks so much :)

Truly you shouldn't even post this if you are "in the know" and "part of the Bitshares community". Ak aka Adam K. Ernest is the marketing guy and the one who is being paid through vesting shares of BTS to do exactly what you are asking for. Talk to Bytemaster and ak.

Honestly, you shouldn't be hearing this from me and it is quite sad.  :(

I appreciate your comments, and you are clearly making use of the freedom of speech in this community :), it is however obvious in big communities that in order to get your messages out you need to have the community interact and do some brainstorming together. My thread here is just my way of telling the community that work is being done to promote and market Bitshares and furthermore that comments to help this are appreciated.

Don't you worry about getting enough feed to be used on the Summit, this thread is only one of many mechanisms in my end to collect and build upon for constructibe and proactive work :) ;)

A few ideas for describing the platform in a nutshell.. perhaps one of these is a good jumping off point for your pitch:

- Decentralized financial instruments platform
- Globally distributed, cryptographically-secure, and auditable ownership ledger
- PayPal without the PayPal
- The NYSE without the NYSE / Wall Street without the Wall Street

And the ideological angle is ok but with orgs like SAXO it comes down to the bottom line.. profits. So how can a platform like ours help them decrease costs and increase profits? We know what's in it for the consumer.. but what's in it for SAXO? Lower infrastructure cost.. more efficient clearing.. baked-in security?

They would doubtfully use the blockchain (at this point) for their existing offerings, but can they add a new BitShares-based product that would attract new markets/niches and grow their customer base? A product that's low-risk (legally, financially) with a large potential upside (revenue, users, or even just image-building/marketing)?

You can't use the word Derivatives unless actual securities are involved. Bitshares 2.0 does have the capability to support it though.
Are you positive about that?

Quote
In finance, a derivative is a contract that derives its value from the performance of an underlying entity. This underlying entity can be an asset, index, or interest rate, and is often called the "underlying".[1][2]

Well, it is nice sentence, but need a sales pitch for normal people to catch interest immediately. Too many words in that sentence unknown to most people out there.



Regards 'BitShares Aims to...'

BitShares aims to be the market leader in crypto-backed derivatives as well as related products and services.

Store your funds in $, €, ¥, Au or Ag in a fast, easy to use, globally accessible wallet thereby offering a service that's more private and secure than a Swiss Bank Account. https://moonstone.io/

Trade shares, indices, currencies and commodities on a fast, reliable decentralised exchange thereby competing with notoriously risky centralised exchanges  http://www.coindesk.com/45-percent-of-bitcoin-exchanges-fail-study-finds/ & perhaps even one day making the NYSE obsolete http://www.maxkeiser.com/2015/07/bitshares-nyse/

Spend funds easily online or via the NanoCard, a versatile, global & anonymous BitAsset enabled debit card

Quote
’A new generation of 2.0 coins – ‘SmartCoins’ – will become available as funding options for the NanoCard over the coming months. It means users will be able store their funds in cryptocurrencies pegged to the Euro, US dollar, Chinese Renminbi (CNY), silver as well as gold – and converted only at the time of use.

"It’s like having your savings, checking, and trading accounts in the palm of your hand, accessible from anywhere in the world – with dramatically lower fees than banks and exchanges have ever been able to offer.’

Changed the subject slightly as I seem to have very little response, I appreciate all comments, thanks, as I want to bring the best of Bitshares to the table when speaking in September.
