Crowdfunding & Blockchain

An ICO is a new means of crowdfunding in which a project or company offers digital coins (or tokens) in exchange for an investment of Fiat currency or cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum

The primary market is where you participate in the first issue of ICO tokens. I.e. the project issues the tokens in return for money (usually Ether).

A secondary market

Some numbers:

 

Total crypto market (now): $ 500B 

Total crypto market (2018): $ 2T

 

Trading volume Bithumb (24h):  $ 5B

Trading volume Bitfinex (24h): $ 4B

 

Revenue Bithumb (24h): $ 5B *0.001 = $ 5M per day!

Revenue Bithumb (24h): $ 5B *0.001 = $ 4M per day!

Revenue Bithumb: $ 5B *0.001 = $ 5M PER DAY

UX is really primitive

Expensive

Limited services (No automated trading, almost everything has to be done by hand)

Growing market (x4 by end 2018 + exponential growth in the next 5 years)
