The session covered a multitude of topics and Dan started out with an impassioned statement on what aligns Sweetbridge and Coin Crunch.“I think we share a common ethos for value — a focus on what creates and accrues value long term. In Coin Crunch, we are what most people would consider value “investors” — almost to a fault. I think most groups / pools / influencers focus on the short-term (not everyone, though). We focus on the long term. A lot of people in our community have said that, if they were to invest in just a few long term value projects, they would be bitcoin, Sweetbridge, and a few others. I think we’re also a bit idealist in that sense — we really want to change the world. Anyone who’s been in the Sweetbridge telegram for a while probably feels the same way, that what the team is building here will be world-changing in scope, Not a fly by night type project.”The community asked him an array of questions and for the highlights of the session, we have done the hard work for you and have an edited snapshot of the best interactions. So click on the link to get a sense of the good, the bad and the ugly in the current ICO environment as well as the decentralized nature of Sweetbridge and how it fits into the ecosystem.
