My Journey into Blockchain, Icos and DAPPs #1

in life •  6 years ago 

The Journeyman 

While I'm typing this out I'm listening to Love in Cold Blood by Him, I'm not sure if its the type of music that will help me write a better opening, but I'm surely enjoying the intricate guitar solos. Anyways... 

I'm a 22-year-old, dropped out of University due to economic reasons but also to seek a bigger purpose, my logic: I now have the knowledge, now to develop it.   It is easier said than done though, especially in a country like mine, where the general definition of success is having a degree. Don't get me wrong, having a degree does help out a lot and it should be an accomplishment that anybody should be proud of. But it is not for everyone, and I am one of them... 

I usually found myself distracted by the women and free-roaming ideas that always floated in my mind, even while taking a test. This doesn't mean I didn't learn... I did but in my own way. Will this bite me in the ass later on in life? I don't know, but that is why I'm taking action and creating something new. Oh, I studied marketing by the way and English is a second language to me, so bear with me.

The List of Jeri-- Obstacles

We are living in interesting times people, and it is surely exciting. This new technology that we call Blockchain has opened a whole new world for humanity, and I intend to be one of the first to introduce this to my fellow countrymen. To make this fun, I won't be telling y'all where I am from, but I am going to implicitly drop clues every time I post, the winner, who guesses where I'm from at the end of the journey will surely win a perk, I don't know what type but as we progress I'm sure I will come up with something. Back to it.  

Blockchain tech is fascinating to me and there is a lot of potential in this tech. With that said, I have an idea for a DAPP that is far from entering its developmental faze due to a serious lack of resources. First is money, I live in a 3rd world country so I don't have the necessary cash to go thru this process, so I need a lot of financing options for my startup. Luckily, I know how to pitch and I find myself with an untapped network of rich people, all thanks to my various uncles that are in the construction business. But, due to many concerns, I find myself leaning towards the ICO option, you know? Pitch your idea, post it, release your token... It sounds easy, but nothing is, specially with an overcrowded ico-system (see what I did there :D)... In better words, there is A LOT of projects and the chances of my ICO going to the top is very slim, but I maintain my believe that nothing is impossible. All I need is a strategy, a marketing one... and that is where I excel. 

Obstacles:

1) Lack of Funds

The next obstacle would be the lack of programmers that understand this new tech. For some reason, I think this is the bigger obstacle... I mean, I can probably find people online and work thru the cloud, but I would prefer to work together in a physical space. Sooo, on the list it goes...

Obstacles:

1) Lack of Funds

2) Lack of Programmers

And that is where I leave it, for today.. I know there is much to be done before it can even be considered a startup, and trust me that list will grow as we move on, but I'm confident of my journey. 

Before I go, I have two serious question to ask you. 

Should this become a daily or weekly blog and should I upload vlogs (video) instead of a written blog? 

Thank you for taking your time reading this!
