CRYPTOCURRENCIES AND WHERE WE ARE TODAY
The advent of Blockchain Technology has brought about the evolution of a vast number of industries,most especially, the financial sector, with most industries and companies around the world in a rush to discover the potentials of this relatively emerging technology.
The demand for Cryptocurrencies and Crypto Assets has shot up exponentially and is predicted to increase further in the years to come. The current Cryptocurrency market capitalization is valued at Billions of dollars, with over 2000 Cryptocurrencies being traded daily.
However, despite the obvious boom in the exposure and acceptance of The Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies as an asset class where investors reap bountifully on their investments, there is still a large percentage of the global population that is yet to adapt to this growing yet rapidly developing trading market.
THE CHALLENGES OF THE GROWTH OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING MARKET
Cryptocurrencies are being traded on over 200 exchanges globally, this can pose a source of confusion to a brand new investor who just heard about Crypto and wants to give it a try.
After the choice of exchange to trade on comes the question of "what cryptocurrency to buy?" the crypto world is usually a lot to take in, especially for users who are not tech inclined. They cannot carry out in depth research seeing as they don't even have the knowledge to utilise trading analysis tools, or even what to look for while doing basic research.
There is also the volatility of Cryptocurrency prices to think about. Now this is the subject that gets many running for the hills when cryptocurrency is mentioned, an investor who had $1K worth of Ethereum, at the beginning of 2017, that same amount of Ethereum is not even upto $100 anymore and that is a top 5 coin in the crypto market capitalization.
The process of searching out individual cryptocurrencies and managing various wallets can become a harrowing task for an investor very fast, and with the ecosystem riddled with stories of scams, hacks, porous security and lack of faithful partners who can be trusted, suffice it to say that many traditional business people would rather stick to old investment practices than venture into the crypto space
THE ETF CONNECTION.
Since the introduction of Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) in the early 1990’s , it has become the most preferred kind of exchange-traded product. At Q1 2016, total global ETF assets were valued at $3B but, within a 2 year gap has seen a quantum leap to over $5B recorded in Q2 2018.
An ETF is a kind of fund traded like common stocks on a regular stock exchange. This ETF can contain assets such as gold bars, bonds, stocks, commodities, etc. ETFs gained popularity due to their stock-like features, low costs and tax efficiency.
Another distinguishing factor that made ETFs so popular with investors is that your assets no longer had to kept in a fund for several years, you simply buy and sell when you have made profit you are comfortable with at anytime of the day, because ETFs can be traded through brokers 24 hours a day unlike mutual funds.
A major downside of ETFs is the segmented availability to only highly advanced countries in the world while most under-developed countries have never even heard or learnt about this concept.
THE CRYPTO - ETF FUSION
A disruptive hybrid of the Cryptocurrency market and the Exchange Traded Funds can prove to be the solution to all of these problems experienced on both platforms.
Investment in Cryptocurrencies becomes a walkover for new investors because the stress and inherent risks of building individual portfolios is ruled out by the purchase of one master portfolio that contains all the needed coins an investor desires.
This will also bring about the exposure of ETF-like investments to interested investors in all countries of the world.
COINBUNDLE IS THE PERFECT HYBRID
Coinbundle is an investment platform that eliminates the cost and stress of building individual portfolios and tracking several prices across various Cryptocurrency exchanges at the same time. Coinbundle will allow investors purchase "bundles" which are portfolios containing collections of crypto currencies that can be traded. These cryptocurrencies are valued based on trade volume, daily liquidity, market availability and capitalization. The value of all the contained currencies put together is equal to the value of the portfolio over time.
HOW TO USE THE COINBUNDLE PLATFORM
The first thing you notice when logging onto the Coinbundle investment platform is the ease with which you can navigate, purchase and track investments even if you are a noob who has never heard of Cryptocurrencies before. You can purchase your very own Crypto portfolio in just 3 simple steps :
Fund your account: This is done by connecting a debit or credit card and funding with fiat currency which is used in buying your preferred bundles.
Buying a bundle: This is where you simply enter the fiat currency amount of the bundle you intend to purchase, select it, and it immediately appears in your Coinbundle portal. You can buy as many bundles as you desire, this depends on how much fiat currency you have deposited on the portal. These bundles can be sold or traded to another bundle or even converted back to fiat currency with the same ease.
Tracking your investment : You can easily keep tabs on your purchased bundles, monitoring the price fluctuations and decide when you want to hold or sell off.
GETTING TO KNOW THE PROVIDED BUNDLES.
The three bundles currently available on the Coinbundle Investment platform are the Conservative bundle, Aggressive Bundle and Emerging Bundles. I will explain them briefly below :
The Conservative Bundle is also referred to as the 'CON2' bundle because it contains the 2 most traded and widely accepted coins in the crypto market, Bitcoin and Ethereum. This is the ideal bundle for newbies in the crypto space who are yet to grasp full understanding of trading and want to begin with a basic, less-volatile combination.
The Aggressive Bundle is also referred to as AGR10 because 10 cryptocurrencies are contained in this portfolio. This bundle gives you the opportunity to diversify with a mixture of top-traded and upcoming coins all combined in such a way that the top-traded coins give stability to the much less traded and upcoming coins. You cannot go wrong investing in this bundle because besides Bitcoin and Ethereum it also contains alternative coins such as Stellar Lumens(XLM) , Ethereum Calssic(ETC), Ripple(XRP) amongst others which have proven to do well in the market over the past few years.
The Emerging Bundle, is also called EMG10, and as the name implies, these are kind of the "new kids on the block". This bundle is comprised of relatively new alternative coins that have shown the potential to skyrocket in the future due to their use cases, circulating supply, development team amongst other factors. This bundle also contains Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside alternative coins such as Omisego(OMG), Cardano(ADA), Neo, etc.
The image below gives a pictoral representation of the percentage compositions of each available bundle
The development team at Coinbundle has also hinted at additional bundles which would be added in the near future to cater to specific use cases such as
Geographic Bundles that expose you to upcoming projects from technology forward markets around the world
Halal Bundles that are based on stipulations of Islamic finance
Utility Bundles that will be made up of utility tokens,
Eco-friendly Bundles
and even custom created bundles that can be provided and marketed by users on the platform.
There are two kinds of users on the Coinbundle portal: There are the Bundle buyers and the Bundle Creators. I will be explaining them briefly below:
Bundle Buyers: They are investors only, transacting on the portal to buy, hold and trade bundles
Bundle Creators: These are users who don't only invest in bundles but also create bundles that other users can invest in without paying inflated fees to do so.
Coinbundle will integrate the API of partner exchanges to process payment of all purchased bundles. The smart contract will be in charge of crawling the exchanges, identifying the best prices and then collecting them together into appropriate bundles depending on the bundle the user has paid for. Also, thanks to the blockchain all these activities are carried out on the distributed ledger technology which ensure utmost transparency, security of funds and zero chances of fraud.
COINBUNDLE IN-PLATFORM MARKETPLACE FEATURES
Bundle Rewards: These are incentives Coinbundle users receive for their loyalty and dedication to the platform.
Bundle Buyers can receive BNDL for
- Completing financial literacy courses that give them more knowledge about healthy investment strategies.
- Creating awareness about Coinbundle on social media
- Re-investing the monthly earnings realized from their bundle purchase
Bundle Market: This is where the creation, buying and selling of bundles take place. This is where investors are exposed to various investment options, they can then make their choice on what bundle to purchase or investment principles they want to apply.
Also, Bundle creators who are users with advanced knowledge of cryptocurrency can make educated forecasts about cryptocurrencies that are bound to be profitable in future, they could now assemble such coins into a bundle and place them on the marketplace without paying exorbitant fees. These bundles can be purchased by other users and when their bundles are purchased, the bundle creator would still receive BNDL tokens as a reward.
Significance of the Coinbundle Tokens(BNDL)
The BNDL tokens are based on the Ethereum Blockchain and conform to the ERC-20 specification. The BNDL tokens will have a total circulating supply of 1 Billion tokens, of which 45% will be allocated to the token sale, 25% to the early adopters, 15% to the team and 15% to the advisors. There has been no news as to whether there will be further emissions of the tokens in future, from the team.
BNDL tokens are essential for the loyalty compensation for the investors and overall growth of the system. This can be seen in various ways such as:
GROWTH OF THE PLATFORM
The higher the number of investors holding BNDL tokens the more exposure the platform will have to external investors.
COMPENSATION FOR INVESTORS
Investors are given bonuses in BNDL tokens when they allow their purchased bundle investments grow and mature over-time. The more BNDL tokens held by an investor the higher the bonuses received.
Users earn referral bonuses for every investor that they influence to invest in various bundles on the platform.
Bundle creators can utilize their BNDL tokens in paying other users to advertise their bundles on social media.
Access to the Power Features are also another incentive for holding BNDL tokens, because they are only accessible to token holders. It operates very much like traditional currency in the sense that the more BNDL tokens you hold the, the higher the amount of power features you can utilize. They include:
Ability to create customized bundles in the BundleMarket and also market them both in the BundleMarket and on the home page.
Priority access to all new bundles on the platform
Ability to recommend new bundles to be implemented by the Coinbundle team.
UTMOST ACCURACY APPLIED TO DATA VERIFICATION
Coinbundle respects the Know-Your-Customer /Anti-Money-Laundering (KYC /AML) policies and regulations. By leveraging the best of Machine Learning and Artificial intelligence for efficient risk management, this ensures that the platform is not used for malicious purposes such as securities fraud, terrorist funding or concealment of drug trade finances.
