Roughly 8 months ago, the Booleancoin ICO was announced for Boolean, The News Accuracy Platform (https://steemit.com/crypto/@biddle/booleancoin-powering-boolean-an-ai-human-hybrid-news-accuracy-platform).
On "On May 25th, 2018, Musk bought the site pravduh.com saying, "Problem solved, was able to buy http://Pravduh.com! Game on." He explained that he is "Going to create a site where the public can rate the core truth of any article & track the credibility score over time of each journalist, editor & publication."" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk#pravduh.com). Elon, I admire you and I'm glad to see that we're on the same page about the need for a platform like this and we feel empowered that one of the richest men on the planet also agrees that this is a big business problem that needs great solutions. Boolean, The News Accuracy Platform is doing just that, but leveraging the power of the blockchain to empower citizen journalists using the site even further and to allow for better record keeping which can be leveraged in legal proceedings. Our APIs will be able to be embedded into sites so that News Accuracy is tracked automatically in a transparent and permanent way so that users can feel more confident when reporting is taking a less skewed stance.
The Booleancoin ICO for Boolean.News was announced in Fall 2017 and we finished our first round with a fair amount of interest. Booleancoin is now listed on https://hotbit.io, one of the few exchanges listed on coinmarketcap.com with growing volume! Round 2 of our ICO will begin in line with the release of our Beta Platform, which will allow for some of the core functionality of Boolean to be utilized by Citizen Journalists interested in bringing to light inaccuracy and bias in the media and those interested in ensuring that they are most informed for their voting, investing, and educational purposes. Boolean uses a set of automatic tests and guided manual tests which will flag content for violations of the Best Practices of Accurate Reporting, decreasing the credibility score of content when a violation is found. It will utilize the Boolean Prioritization Model to carry this out, a transparent model which will rank different best practices based on community decision/voting and expert opinion on the importance of different tenets of Accurate Reporting. Sign up at https://boolean.news today to be ready for the Beta Launch and also please make use of our Steemit Bounty Program to earn some free Booleancoin, 1,000,000 being reserved specifically for Steemit Users to show our support for this great community!

Prepare for our second ICO round, where we will be accepting almost all major cryptocurrencies as well as USD, prices being pegged exactly to the price on https://hotbit.io! That is scheduled to begin on July 1st!
AS ALWAYS, WISHES OF WEALTH AND HEALTH FOR ALL! :)
