Almost 2 weeks have passed since the beginning of the ICO. I think it’s a good spot to bring intermediate results, answer frequently asked questions, and talk about further plans.

The most frequently asked reasonable question is about our fundraising. We analyzed the reasons for it and story about this deserves a separate article, which can be very useful for everybody who plans to launch ICO. But right now I want to tell about something different.

When we assessed the cap for our project, half a year ago, we didn’t have much resources and contacts. According to all our estimations, this project should’ve been very expensive. But during the period of preparation and the ICO itself, we found a lot more than simply funds raised. We found a lot of people, who believe in our idea, support our project and share our vision on the fact that financial markets need to be changed for a better.

Each project has its own specificity. We don’t build a new blockchain, nor a file storing protocol. We implement the cutting-edge technology to solve real problems of a huge and very wealthy industry. The development is not a problem for us — we have a very strong technical team, huge expertise and ready codebase solutions from Tools For Brokers. At the current stage, the support of influential and talented people from all over the world is much more important for us then the code on GitHub. And I personally believe we are doing pretty well in this direction. Simply have a look at our advisory board.

And even if we don’t attract much more funds we will adjust the roadmap launch the platform, and continue the development. Yes, our team won’t move from Russia, we won’t participate in every single conference as sponsors, we won’t sit in an A-class office and have sales offices all over the world from the very beginning (until we can afford that with the profits generated by our platform). But in general, it doesn’t change anything. Already attracted amount is enough to develop a product, which will come to the market shortly, taking into account our experience and contacts.

If you take a look on short, but a rich story of ICO projects, you can note that there is no correlation between money, attracted during the ICO and the success of released (if released at all) product. If you take this industry in general, you can see some failing projects hundreds of millions dollars worth, and some skyrocketing projects of students.

If you ask me if we are disappointed with by attracted amount, I will answer no. Because we look at the attracted amount so far and we know for sure — Genesis Vision will be developed.

Also, we already built our not huge, but a solid community. For me is not simply investors and people who bought our tokens. For me, these are people, who will form the basis for our future product. An open dialogue with a community is very important for any project. We are committed to this principle so far and will remain faithful to it in future.

Now let’s get down to our future plans. Our ICO is not finished yet, so we continue to do as much as possible. Until the end of the ICO we have the following activities planned:

ICO Advertising activities for funds attraction Those of you who follow our news closely and joined our Telegram group probably heard about troubles with our marketing campaign on the launch. Right now we found a bunch of different ways and try to make them efficient for us.

Right now we found a bunch of different ways and try to make them efficient for us. Negotiations with Funds/VCs for noticeable amounts attraction. Despite the lack of hype right now we still believe that our project looks attractive from the logical point of view and continue working in this direction.

We will take an active part in the blockchain community life. The first one is Decentralized on Cyprus (https://www.decentralized.com/)

We will take an active part in the blockchain community life. The first one is Decentralized on Cyprus (https://www.decentralized.com/) Trading tournament launch. We are sure that there are a lot of traders in our community, who want to become Genesis Vision platform managers. While waiting until the end of ICO traders will be able to prove their skills in Demo tournament and earn some additional GVT tokens.

In conclusion, I will say a few words about our plans after the ICO.

Initially, our first step was to integrate with the Forex market. We have a lot of connections and potential clients there. It seems very logical as a first step and this is what we described in our whitepaper and in roadmap.

But since the initial plans, we found a lot of friends in a crypto world, who share our ideas, our vision, and our ambitions. With partners like Charlie Shrem, Konstantin Gladych, Demetrios Zamboglou the world of crypto is much more open and available for us. That’s why we won’t wait until we stabilize on Forex market, and will start the development of crypto integrations straightaway, simultaneously. This will expand our platform potential audience from the very beginning and will make our capturing the market strategy more intensive.
