─

It’s been only a week since our last update, but so much is going on that it feels like ages passed. Wondering how our days look like? Well, Denis is travelling the world, speaking at various conferences and making sure the word about Blocksquare gets into the world. Meanwhile, Viktor and the development team at Medius are working on the core product. We are onboarding new ambassadors, partnering up with selected PR and media buying partners and fine-tuning the deal for the Pilot project. With our schedule super full, we are looking forward to the next stage of Blocksquare — the Series A crowdsale. We will make sure to have enough time to get ready properly, to fill in all potential gaps that might stay in our way of reaching our goals. With this in mind — we want to thank you once again — you are an amazing community, and we are happy to receive so much feedback from you. Highly appreciated! Now, to the point:

#1 Last days to contribute to our community presale

Our community presale is coming to an end. We are thrilled to see more than 160 contributors supporting the project from the early start. There was no soft cap set as we intend to continue development with our private financial means. The community presale closes on February 28th, 2018 1500 GMT.

Funds raised during our presale will be used mainly to enhance marketing activities and boost interest for the Series A crowdsale planned for the end of March 2018. Our main goal is to build Blocksquare into the successful brand it is set out to be. We may push the Series A date to April if our team will assess that will be beneficial to Blocksquare’s exposure.

Current BST price for Presale contributors is 0.08 USD, and Series A Crowdsale base price is set to 0.5 USD, so take your last chance to earn some nice bonuses! Many already signed up to help spread the word about Blocksquare by joining our referral program — we will award you for every contribution we get through your network!

#2 Blocksquare at GIC Innovation Day in London (UK)

The Propteq conference lead us to an invitation by GIC Singapore to present Blocksquare at their innovation day on March 2nd in London, an internal event aiming to see how new technologies could impact real estate.

A key focus of the day is on how alternative data sources could be extrapolated to improve real estate investment decisions, as well as how FinTechs are enhancing the real estate financing landscape or changing how traditional finance office occupiers use space. The event intends to cover anything PropTech, in particular businesses that could apply to or disrupt GIC London Real Estate investments. Current main speakers include O2 Smart Steps, Lendinvest, Brickvest, Starling Bank, Innovate Finance, Tech City and Blocksquare.

#3 Speaking at ICO 4 Impact Summit

Our CEO, Denis was also invited to speak at ICO 4 Impact Summit, an event organised by Beyond Capital Markets. The ICO 4 Impact Summit is the first decentralized event series for blockchain impact and crypto impact investing, delivered virtually. You can attend this event online from anywhere in the world. The event series was created to help you better understand how cryptocurrency and blockchain can be applied to increase the quality of life, build wealth and sustainable economies. The 7-day event offers 6 dynamic tracks with more than 50 interviews, presentations, and panel sessions diving deep into Impact ICOs, blockchain model innovation, wealth building and regulations across agriculture, payments & banking, health & wellness, smart city, and clean innovation.

#4 On this and that.

Even though we don’t react to every post or answer every question on our Telegram, we are always present. We hear your suggestions and questions and we have collected answers to a few of them:

ADVERTISING & PR? We’re on it. As you might know, it takes time for the right message to clear out, for the connections to build so that the story can be told. And heard.

ETH PEG? You were pointing out the ETH peg to 930 USD some days ago when ETH jumped a bit over the peg. As we speak, it is settled around 830 USD — meaning contributing in the Blocksquare Presale gives you an additional buying opportunity. The peg will stay untill the end of the Presale.

PILOT PROJECT? Big stories take time. Important deals take caution. Long-term partnerships take a lot of paperwork. :) We are currently at this point. We are clearing up the details of the contract and can’t wait untill the moment we can break the news to all of you.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT? Many of you wrote that you would like to engage more with the project. Each of you has a unique skill and we believe, all of them can be useful for the future of Blocksquare. We have received all your emails and we’ll get back to you with a suggestion/idea/answer as soon as possible.

YOU HAVE SUGGESTIONS. BRING THEM ON! Here and there we have noticed some ideas on how could we help you to support us even better. Our Helpdocs are one of the tools you can use, however, we will be happy to assist you with any additional tool that makes sense. Just drop us a line to future@blocksquare.io!
