Zavod Premik – ‘Move’ Institute: Expansion to BitShares Foundations – bringing diversification, building on decentralization
It is a pleasure to let everyone know we bring a new non-profit institute and entity to support the BitShares Blockchain: Move Institute.
@apasia.tech has been working with Move Institute since November 2017, and we are now ready to provide further information for the entire Community.
Zavod Premik (translates as “Move Institute”) is a non-profit organization founded in 2005 based in Murska Sobota, Slovenia - A country where Cryptocurrency has legal status, drawing in some of the major players in the industry. In some circles, Slovenia is being called the "Silicon Valley of Crypto" https://steemit.com/crypto/@thecryptogeek/is-slovenia-the-next-silicon-valley-for-crypto
Not to be confused as a replacement, alternative or competitor to the BitShares Blockchain Foundation (BBF) which was established in 2015.
Our primary focus is drawing upon all the principles and needs of having such foundations, bringing more true meaning and concept of decentralization. Zavod Premik Institute will empower the Community and extend the original BitShares Blockchain Foundation mission objectives:– to grow, promote, and advocate the BitShares Blockchain worldwide, in full spirit of the original Distributed Autonomous Community (DAC), and in doing so, grow and build the powers of the BitShares Ecosystem in full collaboration, if BitShares Blockchain Foundation choose to accept this offer.

Following points summarize activities of Zavod Premik with APAsia.Tech around BitShares blockchain:
- Funds for performing arbitrage trading and bitAsset liquidity on the DEX, which has resulted in returns to sustain activities further, with full support to the DEXBot in any possible technical aspect it can.
- Funds for setting up initial infrastructure, including donation of Slovenia public RPC nodes and funding of VPS nodes, in help as partner to @apasia.tech to build reputation and be able to present skills and services available on/around the blockchain.
- Initial RPC Node in Slovenia (Self-funded 6 months): https://steemit.com/bitshares/@apasia.tech/bitshares-new-public-node-slovenia-balkans
- Zavod Premik members include academics, economists, finance and also separately engaged with @apasia.tech on leveraging this partnership to create and lead by an example, being first BitShares Slovenia website and local wallet, beta of which is viewable at http://bitshares.si/demo with position where DEX is legal business and it’s not taxable, where mining is (Witness located in Slovenia would be paying TAX on income).
- The same academics, ran in collaboration with a workshop held in Zagreb, Croatia earlier this year.
https://steemit.com/bitshares/@apasia.tech/bitshares-in-the-balkans-university-workshop-in-zagreb-croatia-detailed-terms-and-foundation-of-bitshares - Gave us the structure and idea, for the following which can act when multiple parties are involved and ideas for workers expanded. The intention to create functional decentralized network of team members that can be coordinated well, one of the key purposes to create management of escrow workers through Zavod as a non-profit whereby the shareholders, Committee, Witnesses and Community at large can be well assured about funds being safe and managed with public, transparent accounting such as BitShares Blockchain Foundation is using.

- Moving forwards, the plans for expansion of the BitShares Blockchain in collaboration with the institute include:
- To make whois.com information of bitshares.org domain public, as a listed entity under the non-profit. Zavod Premik Institute paves the way for https://BitShares.Org (along with the Reference Wallet) to have a new home, Slovenia being a place it can even be registered for the kind of World-Class legal status needed to reach top 20 global cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
- To manage escrow matters and be trusted party around for management of the worker funds from the blockchain, in sense and organized, structured and legally regulated fashion that companies or individuals can get paid. Worker proposals can then be consolidated for Community voting, the provider having more freedom in delivery and given with greater transparency.

Global Expansion Original link -
https://www.salto-youth.net/tools/otlas-partner-finding/organisation/zavod-premik.10912/Having a completely unique geography and territory to that of BitShares Blockchain Foundation, the non-profit Zavod Premik is particularly well positioned to work in-between EU or non-EU regulated countries, other parts of South Europe, along with ourselves to cover Asia.
Organizing Decentralized Chaos with TransparencyPlacing such foundations/non-profits/institutes, within our Blockchain eco-system, makes it deliberately more decentralized, with less chaos – more organization, administration matters, accounting options, legal experts, academics, economists – are the reason that will increase support and boost to the BBF, and to bring BitShares a step higher onto the global arena.
Notice BTS holders and the BBF:
Spokesperson of the BitShares Blockchain Foundation is currently Annemieke Dirkes, and it is to be noted here this offer does not interfere nor shall we speak in public and claim to be another Spokesperson for the BitShares Blockchain, Foundation, Community or otherwise, without having first been elected to do so.
BTS stake-holders are the decision makers around BitShares Blockchain by their vote, and that, neither the BitShares Blockchain Foundation, nor the owner of any domain related to BitShares (including bitshares.org) will never have the authority to outweigh such decisions.
