On Tuesday February 6th I had the pleasure of attending the second Meetup organized by Cryptopolis whose stated goal is to promote the knowledge of Blockchain technology in the Swiss Canton of Ticino.
During the evening 3 companies presented their projects, which are all in various stages of development and are looking for ICO investment. I will briefly present two of them here.
Ubiatar And Sgame
The two projects have apps that can be downloaded to your device.
Be Everywhere With Ubiatar
Ubiatar is a platform that allows users to “hire” an avatar (another human who uses their smartphone to communicate with the person that hires them) and have them to go places and look at things for them. The avatar will then be paid with a crypto currency token.
Here is how they describe their service:
“Ubiatar is the only project offering a viable and a real solution to the ancient dream of mankind: having the power of ubiquity, or instant transfer to any place. The starting point is a normal smartphone held by a local individual (the Avatar); everything that is seen and heard by the Avatar is sent over the network to the Person at home (Usar) that in turn directs the Avatar so that he/she acts as his/her remote body. The directions are given with a revolutionary GUI (Graphical User Interface) superimposed over the live video stream.”
Here is a Video That They Showed us to Present Their Project:
Mine Crypto While Playing Games With Sgame
Sgame is an app that allows access to popular games which, when interfaced through the app allows the player to win tokens. These tokens can then be traded for prizes that are shipped to the user via Amazon free of any charges including shipping costs.
The Sgame platform is being promoted by PewDiePie who helped develop it and is advertising it to his almost 8 million followers.
This project is already up and running on a small scale but to reach the number of transactions that were spoken of during the presentation (many millions per day) they are going to need a fast Blockchain that can scale!
Meetups Give You a Great Chance to Learn About Crypto
After the meetup there was an opportunity to mingle with the presenters and guests and to share thoughts and ideas on the present and future of crypto.
If you want to increase your knowledge in Blockchain technology why not look for and attend a meetup in your area?
A Closing Thought on Steem And Steemit!
Although I enjoyed the meetup and continued my crypto education I must say that I'm glad that I'm already part of Steemit. Why?
- We're not involved in an ICO but we have a living, thriving blockchain!
- We've got the fastest and most used blockchain in the world!
- We've already been around about 2 years and have had two Steemfest meetups!
- We're closing in on 1 million users!
- There are all kinds of apps that are being built on the Steem blockchain and when you own Steem you're basically invested in them all!
- We will soon have the release of SMT's which will raise the value of Steem!
All told, this is a great place to be!
I hope that you enjoyed this review of two of the projects form the second meetup of Cryptopolis.
Until next time,
