During the 12+ hours I’ve spent consuming every resource available surrounding Bitquence, I’ve spent a long time thinking about what the opening line of this article would be… This seems to be the most apt one :) Although there is plenty of information available about Bitquence, most reviews offer limited information or are created for the sole purpose of getting people to sign up through their referral code, giving the authors 5% of tokens you purchase. Despite having purchased a decent chunk of BQX tokens, I will NOT be posting my referral code in this article to prove to you that the main goal of this article is to be informative. I want anyone considering to invest into this project to have all the information they need in one place, period. If you've never heard of Bitquence, watch this first:

I started getting passionate and excited about Bitquence for a variety of reasons, the main one being that it is in alignment with my strongest desire which is to spread the use of cryptocurrencies to the masses. Blockchain technology has the power to make a massive positive impact on the world, significantly decreasing the inequality between the rich and the poor and giving the power back to their rightful owners - the people! At it’s heart, Bitquence was created to fulfill the philosophical mission of our crypto grandfather, Satoshi Nakamoto, which is to democratize blockchain technology by making it easy and safe to use and accessible to anyone, including your skeptical parents, your technologically challenged granny and even your tail chasing semi-retarded dog. Let’s face it, investing and transferring cryptocurrencies is a daunting and arduous process which no-one should go into without significant research. This is a problem which desperately needs solving if we’re going to see wide scale adoption of the technology. So is Bitquence the platform which is going to solve this? I’m skeptical by nature so I conducted an interview with the founder, Shingo Lavine, in order to get him to answer tough questions such as the following (and many others) What makes you a great fit for the CEO of the project compared to other team members? What would you say to people who say you are too young to be the CEO of a project like this with many other older and more experienced team members? You are the CEO of a company in which your dad is working. Have you both worked together on projects before? Do you foresee any potential issues? Several of the team members of the Bitquence team including yourself were involved in Funmobility, with Dennis being a key player there. Are you all still working on Funmobility? I will be posting within the next 24 hours, so follow me here on Steemit to stay updated about that. As for now, below you will see an overview of the features of Bitquence, an overview of the team and the community, many screenshots of relevant conversations in their Slack chat and finally my conclusion with the pros and cons of this project. NEXT GENERATION UNIVERSAL DIGITAL WALLET When I first heard this as being one of their main features, I was skeptical to say the least. How are they going to make something better than what is currently on the market?

However it was the picture below from their whitepaper outlining the features of their wallet compared to ones on the market now which got me sold: In addition to offering the many great features we have come to expect from our hot wallets they also have cold storage, asset allocation (see Dynamic Asset Allocation below) and bulk trades. This means that not only will users funds be more safer than in traditional wallets but that it will also be cheaper to trade between currencies within the wallet due to the bulk trades that Bitquence performs. Another key strength of their wallet which is in alignment with their goals of bringing their product to the masses is the focus on a user friendly interface. Their team has extensive experience when it comes to mobile applications & mobile micro transactions (see Team section below) so they are well prepared for creating a mobile wallet with the best UI and UX on the market for cryptocurrencies. They want to do for cryptocurrency what Apple did for mobile phones - make it attractive and easy to use for the masses - something which the cryptocurrency market is in desperate need of. Their ambitions do not end there though as they also want to become the go-to platform for all currencies by enabling fiat gateways as well as offering users the ability to send funds simply using a phone number as demonstrated here:

DYNAMIC ASSET ALLOCATIONS AKA BASKETS/COLLECTIONS This feature allows users to seamlessly invest into a diversified set of cryptocurrencies within the wallet platform with one click, providing a number of benefits (detailed on Page 10 of the whitepaper: Risk Diversification - New adopters of cryptocurrencies can diversify their portfolio with one click to decrease overall risk

Accessibility - Make purchasing a wide variety of currencies as easy as 1-2-3.

Community expertise - Benefit from experts all weighing in on the fundamentals of a coin, providing summarized investing advice to newcomers

Low Cost - Fees will be less than 1% and will even adopt the high-water mark so you don’t pay performance fees unless you profit from investments

Time Savings - Save time and stress managing multiple wallets with many keys Some examples of Asset Locations include Big Cap Coins (coins with $1B+ in market cap), Privacy Coins (PIVX, MONERO etc) and Cloud Computing Coins (e.g. GOLEM, SIACOIN etc.) Users can also manually edit their asset allocations to add higher or smaller %’s of their desired coins. Watch how this feature plays out in the product which they have already created for mobile devices (not available to the public yet) in this YouTube video:



Looks pretty slick if you ask me. COMMUNITY CONSENSUS RISK PROFILES This was one of the most exciting features for me. BQX token holders will be able to stake the outcome of a coin (e.g. that it will go up by 25% within a one week period) and get rewarded based on how many BQX tokens they stake and how accurate their prediction was. Of course they will also lose some of their stake if their prediction is wrong. The great part is that this information will be publicly available so anyone can piggyback the predictions of these stakers by buying/selling the specified coins. Unlike traditional communities where leading figures may “promise” that they will HODL, stakers are putting their money where their mouth is for everyone to see and benefit from. Win Win for everyone. Here is a video showing how it works:
