if only softcap is reached | This book will be published on Publica only. Softcap reach would be a great encouragement and will allow to have better page layout, cover, and graphics by renting ad hoc services. Early subscribers will have access to additional videos that I will be able to record once 50% of hard cap is reached. |
About Book
This book is about investing into cryptos while acknowledging the need to be ambitious in its modesty. Markets as a whole are tricky, crypto is no exception. 20 years of investment in stock markets with ups and downs led to successful application of the principles I expose in this book.
This is a book for passionate people that like connecting the dots, make parallel between situations, those who acknowledge the virtue of crossing perspectives.
Much will be said about investing in cryptos. All over the course of 2017, it has just been about money making. We all know the story of a friend of a friend who made millions. I found that mate a few months ago, in the person of a work colleague. Coming back to France for a visit at the company headquarters, one of them that I barely knew, asked me: Apparently you are into bitcoin and crypto
Me: yes, I find it as much interesting from a technical point of view as from a investment perspective. Despite I am not a coder at all nor a blockchain specialist, this field brings a lot of new concepts that I find exciting to comprehend. And the work I have done now will not be lost: blockchain is here to stay so it is a way to keep up with the pace of the world. Why do you ask, are you into it too ?
Him: No, I am not, but my brother is. He just bought a building in paris, most of the money coming from the coins he mined.
And then suddenly in your mind you see the building appear, the Haussman old fashion fancy construction with classic and classy appartments. The caretaker, the marvellous stairs paved by black and white marble squares. The interior, a fireplace behind each and every door, talking about black and white: why not a piano, and the vast tables at which to seat and eat foie gras, caviar, drinking fine wines.
Blast from the past: this is what cost me all my gains during the 2000 Bubble.
And this is precisely the kind of image, the instant invasion of unlikely dream, that will make you make bad investment decisions if you are not prepared. And being not prepared can stem from two ways:
Crypto market is just like other markets: it has its specificities, its traps, and - just like human being has to breathe wherever he may be – its fundamental principles shared with other markets (stocks, commodities, real estate). This book is here to remind them.
What is a Book ICO?
Book ICO is the next generation way to kick-start books — authors publish their way.
ICO’s took 2017 by storm. Publica Book ICO’s are the next generation crowdfunder-plus-presale for ebooks where authors are free to publish their way.
Authors — You set your own prices for during and after your Book ICO. When your book is a recognized token on a blockchain you’re selling book tokens directly to your followers who support you and look forward to the promised release.
Presale funds can improve the quality of independently published books. Or publicize great books that might never find their true audience without it.Your book tokens work anywhere in the world on any iOS or Android device.
Readers — When you buy a book token, that’s your private access key to read the book in your Publica reader app available now for iOS and Android phones and tablets. Many Chromebooks too.
You can also send book tokens to other people, unlike any conventional ebook. So buy as many book tokens as you want!
You can also sell recognized book tokens on a secondary token exchange so depending on the total circulation of a book’s tokens, tokens in your wallet may grow in value if the book becomes collectable.
What are you waiting for? Oh, the countdown clock...
