Good afternoon,
today I want to quickly bring to you guys' attention a really interesting and potentially very special ICO investment opportunity. I became interested in this coin when I realized that it solves several problems in the blockchain AND digital education space. Plus, it offers a few features that I personally have never seen within the education market.
Introducing BitDegree...
This platform seeks to revolutionize education with blockchain. Here's some reasons why I've invested in the it:
They have created a token (BDG) that will allow for students around the world to purchase and participate on the website without ever needing a fiat gateway. They will be able to take advantage of all courses and content using the utility token BDG, which can be bought with ETH currently.
BitDegree is going to do something totally unique with their education system. For completing courses, content, and other initiatives BitDegree is going to incentivize students as well as content creators with BDG tokens. I think this is a huge step forward and will increase active participation as well as retention by rewarding them.
___KEY___WOW!!! The CEO/founder is the success story behind 000webhost, which was the world’ first and biggest free cloud hosting platform designed for learning, testing and experimenting. Not only does he have that experience, but they are bringing over all of those consumers to BitDegree. Between this and other platform partnerships, they are entering the market with what they claim is a 29 million person userbase. I will say, I don't know how real those numbers are, but even if it is fractionally true this is an amazing way to start off a new business.
TEAM Honestly, I can't really say enough about the team. The CEO as I mentioned is a gem in this education economy, but that is only the beginning. Strategy Advisor Robert Santana is formerly a senior level member of Coursera, which is one of the main competitors in the space. Also, Major Advisor Jeff Burton will be a massive asset to this team. He was one of the co-founders of EA, go figure. He has helped get tons of businesses off the ground and is an extremely successful serial entrepreneur. That said, they have another dozen or so members that are everything from developers to customer service experts. They have a full roster prepared for the market.
BETA BitDegree already has a fully functional platform with courses ready to go. The BETA version of it is live for demonstration and it looks amazing. Also, feel free to check out their code which is publicly accessible via GitHub.
Partnerships There's several big hitters on there including up and coming Ethos, Hostinger, Zcoin, and more.
Competition
A conservative Harvard Business Review estimate has the number of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) with 25million participants in 2015. Since then, the number of courses has doubled and participation growth has seen even more progressive numbers. So, the projection for this industry over the next few years should be astronomical. That means for us an investor if BitDegree can compete with all of these unique features, then we should see tremendous value growth. Check out some of these companies for reference...
Udemy
Coursera
EdX
So, long story short. PLEASE go check out the whitepaper for a more indepth review of everything this coin and company has to offer. I think their business model is amazing and will continuously add value as it ages. The ability to accept cryptocurrency for these courses and actually be built off of a the blockchain will expand their clientele in such a way that all of their competitors cannot. That said, the current price is a steal (approx. 7 cents per token).
