Title: [ANN] Peak Venture Group Adopts the BitShares Exchange Network
Post by: Stan on July 02, 2015, 04:47:26 am
Now things start to get even more interesting.

It's not just exchanges that are joining the BitShares Network, but entirely different industries are beginning to see the advantages of being a member.  All they have to do is bring their existing users to our network and bam! a new revenue stream for them and more new users for BitShares from outside the current inbred crypto community. 

Here's the perspective of a startup incubator in Las Vegas, the Peak Venture Group, which is planning to leverage membership in the BitShares Exchange Network across nearly every one of its start-up businesses.

Peak Venture Group Adopts the BitShares Exchange Network (http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/29458521/peak-venture-group-adopts-the-bitshares-network)
(One of 227 syndicated press releases Murderistic has hitting the wires as this posts.)

Here's the big one on Yahoo Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/peak-venture-group-adopts-bitshares-034700689.html)!

There's so much to this relationship, you'll have to wait till later this month to hear Part 2.

Peak Venture Group specializes in affiliate marketing to promote those startups.
They have thousands of professional affiliates who, in addition to selling their hearts out, are incentivized to turn experts in specialty industries into more savvy home-grown affiliates.

And here sits BitShares with an affiliate incentive program unique to the entire lucrative crypto industry.

There's no limit to where this one could go.

Welcome Steve Tiffany, Justin LaFountain, and the whole emerging Peak Venture Group family!


(And special thanks to forum hero Murderistic for bringing us all together!)

The referral system is everything if its going to get us companies bringing people in like this and growing the network.  Even if Bitshares gets only 20% of eventual revenues, 20% of the moon is infinitely better that 100% of not taking off at all.

We will be collecting a growing list of this summer's planned announcements right here as they occur.  The first one is June 8, 2015.

Everybody we explain this to loves the idea of joining this network.  Exchanges are just the obvious first industry, but anyone with a big user base can find an angle to sign them up and earn a chunk of their lifetime fees.

Go out into the world and bring us more such leads from every nation, tribe, and industry.

It practically sells itself.

This has been my primary function for a year guys.  I know you haven't heard about it much, I keep it to my self and a small group within the dev team, but it has been happening.  Part out of necessity, part from flames and BS on the forum that I just do not have time for.  People can debate and knock on each other all day long, I would rather focus on talking to CEO's of major companies and not waste precious time.

Some of these deals take 6 months to a year to get done.  I have been on this for a year now.  We have been talking to, educating, and working with others potential partners, some in major industries that provide backbone support for serious business.

I do not want to get your hopes up, so I refrain from saying anything until it is really done. 

Don't spend the money til it is in your hands, or you WILL regret it.

Onward and upward.

What will they think of next?

In other words, what other historical business models requiring humans trusting humans will be instantly surpassed in service quality by the advent of the public smartchain?

“What exactly is it that we do?”

“We provide specialized training for an affiliate marketing force and broker connections to all kinds of products they’ll find easy to sell. Then we go looking for startup companies with ideas worth investing in, and hand them a marketing outlet on a silver platter! Most startups focus on their products and services, leaving marketing as an afterthought. We deliberately invest knowing that we can add a powerful engine for customer acquisition on Day One. We look for startups that fit into that model, and then harness our marketing horsepower to their front end.”

Yep.  We REALLY need to get 2.0 out and start making money.  As soon as people start making mone,y and we start burning some BTS/moving some to reserve fund, we will take off.

I agree.   This is the most impressive announcement so far, aside from the 100k TPS (which seems to have gotten buried under all the FUD).
Of course, 100k TPS blockchain is one thing, but business partnerships that actually bring us in users are another.  This is what we need.

They are still just announcements... bitshares has had a ton of them in it's life cycle.  Until 2.0 is released, investors are going to be conservative with their money.  Once these companies actually start using the block chain, then investors will take notice and the price will move up.

"just announcements"... as in you think the markets believe this is most likely a lie? The dev team has lost some credibility, sure, but the chances of this being an outright lie seem vanishingly small - that's just the only scenario i can think of where markets would actually sell off on news like this. I guess crypto markets are just really, really inefficient lol.

I do believe that these announcements are true and I'm sure that these companies have every intention to make use of the BTS blockchain, I'm sorry I should have been more clear in my first post.  But crypto investors were promised a 1.0 release since November and they never got one, so it's understandable that they will wait until the partnerships are actually functioning before they invest.  Any unforeseen event or bug could derail these agreements, and investors buying these announcements would be sitting there with egg on their face.

waiting for newmine to drop price >2200 sats before purchasing. he's been too busy destroying greece and china with his questions, so it's taking longer than expected.

with his current rate of questioning @bts, i don't think we'll see 2.O until 2017, according to earlick bachman's dutiful research, so sell now and thank newmine later!

How many users, developers, or partners have you brought into BitShares?  0?

Newmine, I am all for freedom to express concerns, but if you continue to post libelous statements you will be banned.   

Brain Page was a hard working honest guy who just happened to fail at a difficult task.   We may not have liked all of his results, but without him we wouldn't have Max, I wouldn't have had speaking engagements at many conferences, etc.

The handle is a reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yScmL3UKXK0

Love Pink Floyd, especially this version of the song, which was later known as "Careful With That Axe Eugene".

As for Brian being a scammer, that is just not true, he worked very hard - sometimes something is just not meant to be.  It happens in business.  You are entitled to believe what you like, but calling him that is hardly relevant to this conversation. 

Brian was already far past gone to other projects of his choice outside of BitShares.

Dammit Newmine!

Allegedly you've possibly added three more months to development time by causing bytemaster (not his real name) to apparently feel the need to respond to your opinions, again.

DISCLAIMER : This is my opinion derived from the alleged research of the imaginary person Erlich Bachman.

Don't ban.  Your maybe just saying that as scare tactic.  He will just make new account.  And you will take the heat for acting like a threatened dictator.

1. How old is Peak Venture Group?

2. How many start ups have you successfully incubated?

3. How much investment have you successfully helped to collect to the start ups you're helping?

4. Any known strategic partner/angel investor that has contact with you that you could disclose?

5. Any known or cool events you took your start-ups to?

6. Which start-ups you incubated could potentially use BitShares and how?

7. What about your eCommerce store, any revenues?

8. Are you part of an Incubator Network like The Startup Federation? So that you could share these news with them and reach more people, giving BitShares more exposure to the financial world? If not, are you planing/would you like to? If you do, would you share this with others or do you think you would loose the edge against the competition, meaning you would prefer not to share that info with them (or maybe just do it later). - All of this, assuming BitShares 2.0 runs smoothly.

Just came up with these now, still didn't read the articles fully to check if it answers to any of these questions so sorry if they do.

This has been my primary function for a year guys.  I know you haven't heard about it much, I keep it to my self and a small group within the dev team, but it has been happening.  Part out of necessity, part from flames and BS on the forum that I just do not have time for.  People can debate and knock on each other all day long, I would rather focus on talking to CEO's of major companies and not waste precious time.

Some of these deals take 6 months to a year to get done.  I have been on this for a year now.  We have been talking to, educating, and working with others potential partners, some in major industries that provide backbone support for serious business.

I do not want to get your hopes up, so I refrain from saying anything until it is really done. 

Don't spend the money til it is in your hands, or you WILL regret it.

Onward and upward.

Great work Murderistic, I appreciate your efforts. And it's exciting to watch the momentum build. We're definitely on a roll :)

Pretty sure you have called people scammers. I remember the NuBits ponzi accusation,which to your credit you reneged on. Nonetheless it was still libel against Jordan Lee in the same essence. So if you ban me for that, make sure you ban yourself. But we all know that isn't the real reason you want to ban me.  I'll let you decide. Remember their are bigger websites than this and I can still go there with more conviction if you force me to.

Btw, why did no one from Peak Venture Group at least introduce themselves instead of having Stan post this? It's only nice when you do so. I can comprehend if you're busy, but this is something someone can do in 10m and log in for 5m every day just to answer a few questions.

We have invited them to drop by and introduce themselves.
Until they do, how will they see your bumps?

We are lucky to get new partners who delight in interacting here.  But each has its own style and priorities. 
Not every one of them may consider reading posts on crypto forums a good use of their time or feel obligated to answer a bunch of questions about their business.

Each of these new relationships takes time to develop.
Right now we're more focused on figuring out the best ways to work with each other and where both busy management teams are going to find the time to do so.

Stan, if a business joins BitShares, stakeholders should know if that said business will benefit BitShares and how it will achieve that, at least during these times which we can call the beginning of BitShares. That kind of stuff is important. Otherwise there is no point on announcing this kind of stuff. I didn't obligate anyone to answer questions related to their business. I asked those questions, they're free to answer to them as they see fit, however you're overlooking the fact that a simple crypto forum is one of the few methods of communication of this community. As simple as it seems, as bad as some forums might be, the BitShares forum is still an important place to discuss stuff and if a business joins BitShares but doesn't communicate with the community (I know it has been a short time since the announcement, see my reply to Ander below), how should the community react if the community doesn't even know what does this partnership mean? People need to communicate somehow. What I mean is, the community needs to be informed enough to decide whether to support this or not.

The problem with "Not every one of them may consider reading posts on crypto forums a good use of their time or feel obligated to answer a bunch of questions about their business." is they might not get community support because of that.

As the original press release stated, they plan a "Part 2"  later this month.  Hopefully that will give you more insights.  Some companies prefer to communicate only through formal press releases.   Perhaps that's how they see it.

There is a big contingent of our supporters that have long lobbied for us to take that approach.  :)

Anyhow, let's see how the next announcement goes.  Perhaps they will weave some of your topics into their formal output pipeline. 

Or maybe they still plan to come here when they get a moment.

Thanks I appreciate it. Sorry if I was too impulsive. Will be waiting. Just don't underestimate a forum, this is one of the few places we can gather and discuss all kinds of crypto stuff. One of the few places some people can go to inform themselves and that info can be priceless.

Thank you once again.

It's their business to decide what they do or do not want to tell bts members.
They're not running for a delegate or asking for any funding, so why is it anyone else's business?
These guys PAY to integrate with BitShares in UIA and transaction fees.
If they go bankrupt, bts loses nothing other than future-profit-potential (which is only speculation and not real value).

Quote
they might not get community support because of that.
yes, this is true. There may be value in getting bts members on their good side, but if you don't like them; don't buy their products.

BitShares investigative journalism may be a profitable business, but it's not Peak Venture's job to provide that service

Though people want to hear more from some partners, it just may not happen as you are really pushing for.  Some are out there running their business in a different manner, do not really talk on forums, etc.  There are many types of businesses, and many models, theirs works for them without the interaction, etc. As a few others have said, it doesn't matter if we hear from every partner. 

When coding in Java, etc - do the devs and Java community expect everyone that uses their technology to report in, etc?  No.

What I was trying to convey earlier was that consumers need not know that this game company has switched to blockchain tech.  For them they may not know for a while, or ever.  That should be ok with us.  If they want to educate their users about how they are securing their assets, securing their data, etc that is for them to decide.  Being able to work with partners and integrate into different types of business outside of the crypto community is the key to mainstream, not focusing on those that understand it, or it's values.

Max, Stan and crew all worked on this quite a bit over the last several months, and all deserve praise on this.  It will be really awesome to see a real business outside of the crypto world with revenues using BitShares to secure their business.

I agree that each time Bitshares manages to sign up a customer, it should not turn into a witch hunt with people accusing the customer's business of being a scam, and demanding a bunch of information from them.  Which is how part of this community has reacted to the customers that Bitshares has gotten on board so far.

It seems to be a symptom of the crypto sector that people are now so wary of scams that they now first assume everything is a scam, and only become convinced otherwise if you present them with irrefutable evidence.


Peak Venture group and Banx Capital are *customers* of Bitshares.  They are going to be paying us (BTS holders) to use the technology.  They arent asking you to trust them with your life savings.

Different partners have different reasons for using our network.

But they all now have incentive to encourage their existing user bases to learn about BitShares since that gets them a whole new referral revenue stream for life.  So they will find a high payoff in convincing their customers to use BitShares as much as possible.

But every business model has to find the right way to make that transition.

Transitioning your chocolate covered designer strawberry customers into crypto savvy financial savants might take a bit more imagination than, say, converting the currency of an empire building game to support inter-game crypto commerce.

Best way you can help is to learn about their business and suggest sales pitches to a partner's customers for why they should definitely sign up for a BitShares account.

"Oh, so you're a gold bug?  Did you know you can lock in your physical gold price in 1 second at cryptosmith.info?  No more waiting days for your check to clear to lock in your price!"

Nothing says you can't get credit for referrals from any forum or blog where anything is discussed.  Just post a relevant message with a link to your funnel or one that you have partnered with and get your own revenue stream.

This is where everybody can get involved looking for synergies and making connections.

Funnel developers:  you should start advertising that you have funnels people can refer others to.  There are thousands of ways to get involved and rewarded.

Do you see how fast this project is moving away from decentralized with Cryptonomex in control? This is a clear example the Cryptonomex is doing what they think is best for Cryptonomex?

Sorry, but you guys need the crypto community to embrace this first. Decentralized is a core ideal that gave birth to the blockchain. You can tell me all day Cryptonomex won't have control and will work for free for Bitshares despite the opposite being said, but the more centralized you are the harder mass adoption will be.

I think this project, with DPOS and the large stakes held by I3 people put the project very close to the decentralized side of the decentralized/centralized event horizon. With Cryptonomex licensing code for profit, I think you will find the project crossing that threshold and will eventually never see the true light of day, which is Mass Adoption.  And sadly, mass adoption starts within the crypto community. Joe Schmo isn't going to leave Wells Fargo for Cryptonomex Bitshares. I imagine that pitch is somewhat similar to Diner Club salesmen trying to get you to switch from a Visa. -Hey Joe why don't you try a Diners Club card? You can use it at 50 different restaurants world wide. -Uh, I can use my Visa at every restaurant, no thanks.

I3 was supposed to release control over the past year and they half assedly did, but even then no one saw or said there would be a problem with an open, free license such as a MIT. It wasn't until Devs making money and walking away (with their huge stakes) became a factor that all of a sudden licenses were needed so no one could steal the code and profit off it elsewhere.  BM still never answered my question in another thread about did I3 specify that they would work X amount of hours for Y amount of AGS or was it clearly implied that Bitshares would be delivered regardless of how much money was given?

Remember, Satoshi left Bitcoin core and it's done quite alright and finds a way.

Silly rabbit!

It's a decentralized system.  Anybody can jump on board.  They don't need our permission.

We said that 100% of all AGS funds would be spent growing the ecosystem at zero profit.  That is exactly what we have done.

Graphene was developed with new sweat equity during a period of time when the developers were only paid by the blockchain a few days a month. 

BitShares 2.0 explicitly gives the community control over the development process.

Cryptonomex does not and will not control all the developers in this space.  They are free agents who are free to work for us or the blockchain or on their own projects.  We are just one Center of Excellence.  Perhaps one of the Anchor Stores at the BitShares Mall with lots of specialty boutiques and several other anchor stores.

In the meantime, we will continue to seek partners.  But the referral system is open to all who can bring new users to the system.  Whether you are a developer or a merchant or a blogger or a webinar producer or an affiliate marketer or an exchange or a venture capitalist or an entrepreneur or a bunker operator or a street preacher or a specialty industry mogul.  The ecosystem is wide open to all.

Anybody can help build the BitShares business and share in its profits without permission from anyone else.

As we have promised from the beginning.   :)

Tokyo Rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Iva_Toguri_mug_shot.jpg)

Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to what they believed were multiple English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The broadcasts were aimed at Allied forces in the Pacific, with the intent of lowering morale. "American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions."  "She often undermined the anti-American scripts by reading them in a playful, tongue-in-cheek fashion, even going as far as to warn her listeners to expect a “subtle attack” on their morale."

Baghdad Bob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/yfAeMtcURg0/hqdefault.jpg)

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (Arabic: محمد سعيد الصحاف‎ Muḥammad Saʿīd Al-Ṣaḥḥāf; born 1940) is a former Iraqi diplomat and politician. He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Iraqi Information Minister under Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, acting as the spokesperson for the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and Saddam's regime.  He is best known for his grandiose and grossly unrealistic propaganda broadcasts before and during the war, extolling the invincibility of the Iraqi Army and the permanence of Saddam's rule. His announcements were intended for an Iraqi domestic audience subject to Saddam's cult of personality and total state censorship, and were met with widespread derision and amusement by Western nationals and others with access to up-to-date information from international media organizations. In the US he was popularly known as Baghdad Bob, in the UK as Comical Ali, and in Italy as Alì il Comico.

Grima Wormtongue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b3w6c7RUbUs/hqdefault.jpg)

Gríma, called (the) Wormtongue, is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. He appears in the second and third volumes of the work, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, and his role is expanded upon in Unfinished Tales. He is introduced in The Two Towers as the chief advisor to King Théoden of Rohan and henchman of Saruman. Gríma serves as an archetypal sycophant, flatterer, liar, and manipulator.

Quote
See, Théoden, here is a snake! To slay it would be just. But it was not always as it now is. Once it was a man, and it did you service in its fashion.
—Gandalf, The Two Towers

Khan Noonien Singh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/khan.jpg)

Khan Noonien Singh, commonly shortened to Khan, is a fictional villain in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. The character first appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed" (1967), and was portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán who reprised his role in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.   Driven by blind hatred from past losses to Kirk, he will stop at nothing to inflict damage to Kirk and those around him.  Due to Khan's inexperience with three-dimensional space combat, the Enterprise defeats the Reliant and Khan is severely wounded. Refusing to accept defeat, Khan activates the Genesis device, intent on killing his foe along with himself. Khan quotes Ahab's words of vengeance from Moby Dick as he watches the Enterprise trying to escape on impulse power.

Quote
Khan: No... no... you won't get away!  To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!

I'm cautious that Bitshares is actually becoming more decentralized, rather than centralized.  To me, I was more comfortable when Bitshares was represented by I3.  We are becoming more decentralized and I personally feel it may be too early for that given the nascent state of the technology.  I'D RATHER HAVE CENTRALIZED COMPANIES MAKING DECISIONS FOR BITSHARES AT THIS POINT IN TIME, SINCE IT BRINGS MORE DECISIVE AND EFFECTIVE ACTIONS.

It's happen to me a couple of time that when I speak about BitShares around, some friends (after a fews days of research) show me Newmine posts on Bitcoin.talk or here. They tell me that this "crypto" project doesn't seem to go very well. So I have to explain and reassure.

It wasn't too much of an emotional reaction but a try ( probably in vain) to make the guy understand that it's not very funny to consume the time of other with non constuctive criticism. I would love if he could start digging a little more, understand better what he is talking about before start screaming "scam", "centralisation", ... "alien abduction".

As the original press release stated, they plan a "Part 2"  later this month. 
I just want to know where the Part 2 is.

So do I.  :)

I spent 90 minutes on the phone with their CEO a few nights ago and I know he still has multiple big plans involving BitShares.  Like most people, he will announce things when he has his ducks in a row.

Depends on your time scale, but yes.  They've run into some unfortunate disruptions that they are working to recover from.  Stuff happens.

I've talked to their CEO several times this week.   Still excited about what he's got planned, but it's not the same plan he had in June.  I'd say they have slipped a number of months at this point.  Check back in 1Q16.

It would be nice if there were some more specifics.  Everything about the announcement was so vague that I doubt many people were using it as a valuation metric for bts.  It could really boost the price of bts if the problems were described more clearly and how peak plans to use/implement bts.

You know me.  I hardly ever err on the side of saying too little.  :)

The point is that there are a lot of businesses looking for a way to leverage BitShares.  I try to publish their plans as soon as they will let me but all businesses experience the same challenges. 

Being an entrepreneur means overcoming roadblocks.  No shame in encountering lots of them.  It's what we do.

Well at 2200 sat, BTS is currently valued with no partners and delayed or on time launch but with extremely buggy client.

No? You find 13 Mil to reflect a single partner or working 2.0 platform?  :)

Right now I believe bts at 13 mil reflects the value of the current product with about a 20-30% premium priced in for functional bts 2.0 speculation. I don't believe anyone has priced in the partnerships or the sharedrops yet.

In short. Bts hasnt grown the investor pie yet and the price still reflects the dog fight over the bitcoin scraps that all the alt coins are fighting over.

Tragic.  What a strain on credibility

In business, you seldom have total control of events, in fact you seldom have any control.

You just pivot and carry on. 

Sometimes plans work out quicker than expected, sometimes there are setbacks that move projected goals.

To let a change in plans from a situation that you cannot discourage you, is to fail in business.

To carry on in spite of it all is the true measure of success.

Do not discourage yourself and others, celebrate the willingness to move forward in spite of all obstacles.

Horsefeathers. He has literally informed the community of developments as they have happened once he has been given liberty to do so. He is not then responsible for all the businesses that have shown an interest, nor the manner or timescale in which they execute their BitShares implementation. Stan is busy, along with many others, reaching out and forming partnerships that will sustain Cryptonomex and grow BitShares. This is precisely what BitShares needs. Any reasonable person would understand this and would be interested in learning of promising partnerships in development. If they succeed or adapt or fail is not down to Stan or anyone reaching out. What's important is the strategy and the direction.....there are people making the right things happen and if only some of them succeed, well a pebble can start an avalanche.

And a "peek" is the right word for it.. there is plenty more that just hasn't been announced on the forum.

To be blunt.. with some of the toxic demanding entitled attitudes that surround this forum, I don't blame any company who doesn't want to have their names made the play things of some characters here. Stan does his best to edify and be welcoming... but it is almost inevitable that the mobs first response is to demand name changes, get shared dropped, and tell them how they should be running their business to name just a few. Even I have gotten caught up in this backwards culture at times. Don't expect this forum to be where announcements are made in the future. Expect to see them first in Reuters and the like.

Here is my take on it. Everybody here seems to be so intent on hearing the latest news and grilling the inner development team and inner consulting circle about what's next and why isn't this happening and when is this going to happen and why aren't we doing this.

Then when they try to include members in the loop or help with decision making process or getting your assistance with various things, I see people complain.

It must be a really difficult position for them to be in, and I do not envy them.

If you truly care about the project and where we're going, you don't have to agree with everything but I would say that people should really strive to bring value and positivity and assist however they can in making that dream come true.

Well said.  I'm sure Stan and others have rhino skin and will continue to use humor, reason and positivity to inspire, inform and entertain us all.  For other businesses seeking to leverage the enormous value in the forum, well they can take the best and leave the rest.  It is for us as a community to try to set high standards for ourselves across every aspect of our communications and expression.

If every individual makes a genuine effort to be courteous, open-minded, supportive, patient, positive, forgiving, generous, constructively critical, honest, creative, analytical, truth-valuing and a million other inspirational things, then the strength, depth, quality and value of this community will continue to grow.  It's up to us.

Ha, absolutely ken......although I should probably add that of course we can't as individuals be all these amazing things all the time and it would be boring if we were.  The odd fracas and passionate debate is inevitable and healthy.  Also, i'm afraid I didn't make it into the shower this morning so I hope cleanish is acceptable for today.....

He's not dead yet!

I've talked with Steve several times recently and he is still working on multiple BitShares centric projects, one or more of which he thinks may be ready to announce this Spring.  After hitting "reset" last summer, I don't expect him to say anything more about it till he's got more of his ducks in a row.

Good news. Much better than a dead project.
