Introduction

I suppose a lot of you reading this are some of the earlier supporters of Plutus, who have been with us through this journey since the very beginning. I want to take this opportunity to first thank you all for the support and talk a bit about Plutus’ journey so far; including our hurdles, how we have overcome them, and our future objectives.

This year (2019), will be remembered mostly for its massive bear market and the capitulation of many newcomers due to constant heartbreak from volatility in the charts, as well as the lack of utility for any available token. However, for us at Plutus, it was a year where we buidl.

In order to build a great product, you need a great team. As a personal experience in my career, building a synchronised team has always been the biggest challenge. As a founder, you have a responsibility to yourself, your colleagues, and your supporters to succeed; and that can only be possible if you are lucky enough to have talented individuals around you.

At Plutus, I couldn’t be prouder of our team’s achievements and the hard work they have committed, working over hours and on weekends. The result is a great product that’s better than a bank!

We made promises, got pushed back by industry red tape, but we did not stop, and we ended up delivering something much greater than what we originally set out to achieve.

“Rome ne s’est pas faite en un jour” — some smart ass.

2019

Over the last 12 months, the team has evolved the product from a payments system to a fully functional finance tool with unique features unmatched by others. We have taken onboard all user feedback and streamlined the previously clunky features into an intuitive, secure and robust product. We are pleased to see these efforts reflected by our recent nomination for “Best Consumer Finance Product of the Year” and “Blockchain Project of the Year” by FStech, competing alongside large-scale corporations such as HSBC.

The vast progress that has been made should highlight the future greatness to come.

We believe all crypto services should be non-custodial and educate their users of counter-party risks associated with making deposits to a 3rd parties honey pot. If you don’t hodl your keys, you don’t own your crypto.

Journey so Far…

Plutus is one of the first and only start-ups to do a crowdsale for an original idea of an in-app utility token and achieved this without any promises of financial gains. Due to our early arrival on the scene, we raised one of the least amounts of funding in the space and still created a superior product.

If you compare the amount raised versus the results achieved, you will find that Plutus has raised ten times less and produced ten times more in terms of the complexity of our technology. Startups in the ICO space and in FinTech spend tens of millions on their digital products, yet we have achieved similar results in the leanest way imaginable which is a testament to the efficiency of our team and the exciting times to come.
