ICO White Paper Translation – the new frontiers of marketing

Marketing for an ICO or Initial Coin Offering, is unchartered territories for many, bringing with it a whole new meaning to the term “digital marketing”. For these new technologies, there are few marketing specialists. There are more than 1,000 cryptocurrencies currently listed on CoinMarketCap with new startups launching daily, so one needs to find their point of difference to stand out from the growing pool of cryptocurrency startups.

Needless to say, marketing to bitcoin investors is not akin to marketing other products or services. The audience is far more nuanced, diverse and sceptical, and the marketing tools and strategies will not be your typical Facebook promotions or billboard advertisements. Rather, your White Paper, the marketing medium of choice for the bourgeoning cryptocurrency industry, will be the critical marketing tool. It will be the mouthpiece of your company and the central marketing tool that will instantly gain or undermine your credibility. The importance of how you draft your White Paper and how to distribute it to investor bases can determine the success of your ICO.

White Paper is prepared and ready to be published – now what? Translate it!

The second vital action is translating your White Paper. Presenting your White Paper in key languages will give you invaluable access to new markets and investor bases. You’d be well advised to concentrate your expansion to countries or regions with the largest ‘crypto communities’. Most of the crypto company that are undergoing a successful token sale say that Russia, Korea and Japan are all countries with a high concentration of crypto users. The biggest ICO to date came from Russia a huge amount of people in Korea invest in crypto. The early and high levels of ‘buy-in’ to crypto in Korea is perhaps attributable to the advanced social and technological development of mobile payments as well as the government’s attitude towards cryptocurrency, which has been relatively supportive of it. Japan is a hot crypto region with official licenses recently introduced. Europe has not progressed as quickly in crypto compared to Asian countries but Germany has recently passed laws on bitcoins futures. Australia also should be considered as a potential investor base, with the ASX the first exchange to use bitcoin technology for clearing and custody.

Where does China sit in the cryptocurrency world?

From an official point of view, China is very against cryptocurrencies and the Chinese government has prohibited its citizens from investing in crypto companies. However, there still remains a significant Chinese population that are native Chinese speakers while holding foreign passports, so one should not overlook the benefit of translating your White Paper to Chinese. China is a country that is rapidly developing, extremely QR code and mobile payment savvy, and home to a large population of early adopters; if not for the government prohibitions, China would arguably be the ‘perfect’ crypto investor base and the place to market to. On one hand, Asian people are betting people. People are more likely to take risks in China than any other country, said one of the CEO of a recently public ICO startup in Singapore, who is also a native Chinese .

Regardless of the region, the world over one will find risk-takers keen to invest. Investing time, creativity and language support to your White Paper is one critical marketing move that crypto or blockchain startups cannot afford to miss.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
