ICO review: Umbrella Coin is a next generation insurance platform built ...





Hello. We continue discussing projects that are going to ICO on August 20th and the next project is Umbrella Coin. I went through their whitepaper and their website and first I want to talk about the team. This is the first website where I see almost the whole team on one photo. What I notice from their linkedin profiles is that most of them are working for Microsoft right now. Only Terry Tata and SOn Nguyen had mentioned that they are in Umbrella Coin project.


Let's move forward. What are they doing? They are sort of revolutionizing the insurance industry by bringing the blockchain and letting community decide if you should receive your insurance payment or not. The crowd intelligence is a nice idea. We like that idea. We can wish good luck to those guys.


To be honest I do not like their website with that background and scrolling thing. But what I can tell you exactly that they have very clear videos on their homepage. They are pretty active in social networks. However some of the posts looks to me having too many likes and reposts compared to the number of subscribers. But all this depends on how your audience is.  They are also presented in the facebook. They had mentioned in one of the articles on their medium blog that they made some big steps forward. So I decided to take a look at their github. And guess what, yes they have some progress. The way I figure out they are doing something is cause they got 41 commits in one of the branches and in another one they have 65 commits. Here are the updates.


Write in the comments to this video what do you think should we invest into this company or not? Do you see any concerns besides those I had mentioned? Do you think insurance industry is ready for such blockchain project or will it be ready in the next two years?
Ok. Lets move on.

ICO review: CarTaxi - World's first operating car towing platform on blo...

Hello everyone. Today we will review a project called cartaxi. It is going to ICO. Right now it at the stage of pre-ICO. The reason why I picked up this project because it is one of those project that are already working projects with an MVP and other applications in apple store and google play. Let`s see what this project has. The team had created an application that allows car drivers to get their car towed to a place where it can be repaired. Right now it is a trend that a lot of services like that are being aggregated and the leads from real calls from people are forwarded to the nearest service provider available. This industry is not an exception. Reviewing this project I see that the team has understanding of where their project is going, they did their marketing research and are aiming towards markets of Russia, China and USA. You can see the team here on their website. The team is quite big - over 40 people. They have names and descriptions with linkedin profiles. The t...

Hello everyone. Today is September 28th and we are reviewing another ICO.This time we are gonna review experty.io. This project is only in the preparation stage of the ICO. It is not like other projects that we reviewed before that were on the ICO start date. That is why some of the things that the team is still working on like their whitepaper. The team is working hard on the technical aspects of their project. You can see what the guys do in the video here. How their project works.

They have a bunch of use case describing the wide audience they are reaching. This project is interesting for us too cause we are providing consulting for ICO projects too. What the ...

ICO review: Belrium - First KYC compliant blockchain

Hello everyone. Today is September 8th and we are reviewing another ICO which is called Belrium. This ICO comes from a company called belfrics. They already have a trading platform that they had built. They are introducing right now KYC complient blockchain. To make a long story short they are trying to make a blockchain where users will be verified which means that they will do KYC before the transactions will be processed which is nice for companies who want to be open and receive payments from known people. What makes me think that this ICO will succeed is that they already have a working product and also introducing another application for retailers, shoppers and advertisers. They believe that this application will bring more users to their blockchain. We will see. Let's move on. Token distribution: the team is planning to distribute tokens into 4 pools. Pool A (60%) : Pool A will represent the contribution made during the token sale period. Pool B (20%) : Belfrics re...
