People often ask me, but what does Bitcoin actually do ?

My reply is simple. It's a digital store of value, but that's not really the most important fact. It's the technology that Bitcoin is based on which is really important, because that is going to provide a major engine of growth in the global economy for the next decade to come and in the process, revolutionise the way we process, consume and spend information. If 2017 was the year of Bitcoin, 2018 is the Year that the Machine Economy goes mainstream.

BlockChain Use Cases

There are many ways in which Open & Distributed Ledger / BlockChain technology can improve on previous business practices, illuminating previously gloomy, dark spaces with light and transparency and offering B2B services in a more accountable, dynamic and trustless manner.

Advertising & Marketing

Advertising and marketing is Big Business. I know, because that's what my company does. We're award winning digital content creators for BlueChip & NGO's in a market estimated to be worth over $500bn and it's often difficult to know how good, value for money ad spending is. In the age of the internet there are numerous ways to cheat the system when advertisers get paid for clicks. This means companies don't always get what they've paid for, ghost accounts can rack up thousands of empty clicks and the right demographics are not always reached with laser point accuracy. It's almost impossible to prove and for all but the largest corporations, it's a business largely led on faith. Until Now.

Clearcoin

A well timed and comprehensive project which is not just another coin. It's a well developed suite of technologies woven into a fully functioning marketplace where companies large (and importantly) small, can acquire / deliver transparent marketing and advertising with real time insights and the perfect accountancy of BlockChain technology. Distributed Ledger technology is particularly effective for proving difficult to measure metrics because double spending has been eliminated and this has been a major problem in media sales.

Proof of History

Is impossible to cheat and a bit like achieving the perfect drug testing system in athletics. You cannot lie to the ledger. Performance indicators become trustless, automated and efficient in a way that has been difficult to achieve up until now. This means highly targeted marketing will be available at lower costs, with more accurate results and deeper insights for the businesses who generally have very specific marketing needs . For the marketing business and publishers it's an opportunity to build genuine, reputation based results and trustless, documented results, leading to quality based and well defined, provable metrics in an open system. Don't you just love BlockChain's endless improvement of the world ?

I Own an S.M.E

As the owner of an SME, I'm often (daily) approached by unknown marketing companies promising the Earth in generating more leads, more sales, more customers. My business is a B2B professional services company and so I very often doubt any of the companies approaching me by cold email and phone could possibly attract the highly selective client demographic I'm looking for within reasonable expenditure. The marketing costs for my business are often quoted as a significant percentage of what the potential business custom would be worth to my business and because I'm aware of their often grey area operations I often have little faith in their ability to do anything other than wow me with big numbers which are not likely to convert into profit (for me). So marketing for my business is largely done on trust, by recommendation and we're stuck with the usual ad word, facebook campaigns and other corporate avenues which are at best, lottery tickets.

The Clearvision App

It's all about the apps. Everything worth it's salt has been adapted for mobile and not just because it's a buzzword, but because decision makers need real time information and their 4G, wirelessly connected smartphones, a.k.a the pocket computer is on 24/7. Clearcoin has deftly identified and honed in on this requirement as a smart move for an intelligent system which provides realtime analytics and insights. That's not just reassuring to the client but allows for highly customisable data presentation and re-evaluation of a team's results, with the ability to further refine a campaign in progress. Key milestones can be tracked and new business can be measured against expectations. That's BlockChain smart results in action. It forms an open bridge between marketeer and client, which for small and medium sized companies, immediately gives them / allows them to offer, corporate level insight and management of any given campaign. Impressive. (It is BlockChain.)

It's a bold, global vision and a project with such scope need big players. Clearcoin's team is led by Jay Singh who is a big fish in a big pond. As an all round Ad Guru working with global superbrands, venture capital deal closer of $30m deals and ad technology pioneer, he has the vision to build the team which brings the project to fruition. It's a strong team and one with some serious clout, not least in their intellectual capacity as visionary imagineers of the future of advertising. Needless to say their ICO has already allocated 39% of clearcoin tokens and is top rated by Track ICO with a 5 star evaluation.

looks like a promising project. thanks for sharing!

thanks @thepassenger. It's a complex marketplace and another example of Blockchain's coming business revolution. (Your photo reminds me of someone and I just can't for the life of me think who !)

cool, I also like that you can purchase ClearCoin with STEEM or SBD's , smart move. It's weird but I have not received the last few contest announcements. Good luck, are you thinking of picking any up ?

Hey @steveconnor. There have been server issues and I am currently in the process of moving everything over. Should have everything back to normal by next week :)

thanks, no worries !

can't believe I'm not following you .. I am now

thanks Steve. I've never seen an ICO with so many buy in coins ! 64 from the top 100 list. It's a smart move. With the ability to buy tokens in steem, it's a tempting proposition. Let's see ;)

Wow!
You are good!
I wish i was this knowledgeable!
Like i said... I'm on your trail down this rabbit hole!
Lol
Wish you the best

thanks @ced000 you can be. It's just a matter of how important you think this technology is for the future. your imagination and a lot of reading will take care of the rest. I hope you've entered another prize winning article this week !

Lol
Yessir!
But this is the only one i know of and have joined!
Do you have any other in mind that i could join?

I meant for this. I don't know of any other prize giving crypto article writing contests. although some crypto projects run similar things during ICO, you'd need to join bitcointalk and to be honest, it's not the most fun place

Okay thanks
Will do that!
If i call you sir again, pardon me
Just know i forgot
Lol

That's OK, I understand where you're coming from.

Welldone!
Have a nice day!

Wow what an analysis! I am a supporter of Clearcoin myself, and I am sure it is a good project with a good team. I liked the more personal part when you mention the approaches of dark marketing agencies. This further proves the usefulness of ClearCoin. Thanks for sharing!

thanks @zamettar. It's good to relate a project to your own experience if you can. I feel it helps clarify in the reader's mind and actual scenario in the real world which makes the case for a blockchain upgrade in all new business propositions. sounds like you should enter an article yourself !
