Hi, I'm the CTO of Freebie, LLC and one of the development team members.
I normally stay away from this stuff... the spotlight is not where I like to be, my spelling and grammar is horrid and I don't take criticism well.
So now that we have gotten the obvious facts about me out of the way, let me say that I did not write the post above. This project is not my idea, but it does have my backing.
About two years ago now I founded Freebie as a humble game server company, a friend and I gave it an honest shot with our paychecks and it fizzled out and failed... one day I was browsing hacking forums and I met this guy who was offering 'unlimited servers' for a partnership... this was a guy in India who had connections to some influential server companies (aws, ibm) and got me grants to run my company with literally no investment, just a promise of partnership...
Time goes on, and the grants ware off, no one gets free stuff forever right? so were stuck with a problem...
how do we fund and monetize a platform at the same time?
so this guy I met, there's something particularly special about him, I found... Among his many eccentricity's (and really hot blooded attitude) I found he has a passion... His passion was this crypto currency that I knew existed and understood some of the implications there of, but what i found truly magical was the way he saw this stuff,
He instantly recognized it for what it was, not just money, but a solution to many world problems, a fix for the corruption and greed that has ruined his own country, and many others.
You know, I'm not exactly a humble person, I like to think i know it all, but every day i look into this persons mind and I find new concepts and new ideas for changing the world that i never thought was possible...and you know a funny thing is that the vast majority of them are based around helping people (for a profit) and changing technology for the better.
so why am i telling you all this? isn't this a post about an exchange? who the heck is this kuro guy?
well you see the person who I've spent this time discussing goes under the guise of something I created,
every day he wears the name freebie servers (sometimes not for the better)
What I see too often, in this, and many other crypto currency communities is that the people with money are less interested in helping people and changing technology than they are
in making solid returns - I don't blame anyone for this, no one, in the end, is a true altruist. but that being said even those who don't bother a claim on such nonsense tend to stick with ideas that are 'sexy' and to me, this means repeating the same content over and over again in the name of healthy competition...
Too often do we see people with great marking skills get thrown tons of money and burn it away on nothing, while people with true game changing technology and skills get left in the dust.
In the end this has been going on for the better part of 4 years in crypto currencies and only now is technology like bitshares starting to emerge and discuss things like 'decentralized exchanges' as a possibility, and when it does come up in discussion, the natural reaction and backlash of most people is that its either impossible or too big of a task to undertake.
Freebie is a team of people dedicated to profit, change, mass adoption and cutting edge technology... each of us has our own story for how crypto has reached across the borders of this planet
and changed our lives... I don't know what you, reader, have for an economic situation, but I am not from a well off family, I grew up in Detroit, I work very hard for every satoshi I earn.
THAT is what sets us apart... we aren't casually into crypto, we don't do this in between our real lives, this is literally our lives - it reaches out across borders and allows us all to live a life of true freedom.
Freebie IS Crypto, Freebie IS the concept of Bitshares made reality.
Too much? too tacky? sorry, this is literally my first post in all of crypto... I told you I don't like the spotlight, but sometimes you guys frustrate me so much just watching it all play out, and watching this game of politics get played while nothing actually happens...
I hope that my ranting and our technical breakdown is enough for you to understand where we are coming from, and I will go silent once again to let freebie respond to your questions about the data.
Hope my words reached at least some people, thanks for your time.
