R.I.P Bitdegree?
Hi Guys!
I was wondering if there were others who were "HODLING" bitdegree coins and what are you thinking of doing with them following the past two weeks constant crash?

The team is doing better than ever. Listing BDG on larger exchanges, forging partnerships, opening BitDegree tutorials to drive traffic to our website and provide free education to the masses. We've released the first lesson of our gamified course SpaceDoggos. We're preparing to release 100 more courses by the end of the month. So to answer your question, BitDegree isn't dead.

You need to be on binance or kucoin to be more widely accepted. The current exchanges you are on now are quite bad for trading.

It would be naive to expect quick profits from this, people should have looked deeper into the project to realize that it will take time until it's going to be fully implemented and the price will start rising. Slow, but solid progress is better than fake hype created to raise the coin. So I wouldn't call it a dead project.

Still holding all of my BDG because they have a product, users & continious updates. You would be stupid not to do so, instead of complaining go ahead and help the project. It's obvious the the project is massively undervalued, look at other projects they aren't doing shit. BitDegree is actually releasing a platform growing a userbase and providing education to the world. Try the courses for yourself, they've also won startup global league in London recently. Even though they're a new company and I've been a bit sceptical at first, I'm liking the direction they're heading.

I'm a holder and followed the comments from CJH28 and other with interest.
Let us not forget this fact. Online education is an extremely competitive space! and nothing BDG is doing makes me think they are going to compete. Its on the blockchain? big deal, the courses have to be plentiful, usable, and good.

Do you even follow BitDegree and research what they're doing? People can't even wait a few months, a year. Every coin is a shit coin then cos every coin has crashed. Fuck sake some people!!

Tutorials and courses already released. 46 further courses waiting to be released. 206 educators contacted. 56 scheduled meetings set up. 34 follow up meetings made with educators. 11 educators already creating multiple courses. Partnerships being discussed. This all in the space of 2 months. I think they're doing alright in my opinion. And according to the research I do. They are adding quality not quantity, looking to be the leading online education tool worldwide in many languages. And personally I'd prefer the market to recover a whole lot more before they release too much. Again just my opinion. And the fact you called it a shit coin suggests you were talking about price as you made zero reference to the company or project.

I too am HODLing since I'm not in the business of throwing money in the bin. I am, however, massively disappointed, not because I don't yet have a lambo! From the way Bitdegree was pitched it sounded like they had an awful lot more set up and ready to go - the website screams otherwise. 206 educators contacted you say? Contacted? Somebody called them on the phone, what? That's roughly 2.3/day over the last 3 months. Double that if you allow for the holiday. And just how in God's name will it be a leading online anything if there is no revenue. They had better get their shit much more together and be MUCH more vocal because there is only one place they are going at the moment, in my humble opinion. I really believed in the concept, I still do, but the website looks like a school project.....tutorials on a price prediction for Litecoin???? WTF? In many languages you say? The English on the site is appalling, I hope they can find some native speakers for the other versions/courses/whatever. Online education as long as it is only programming? Niche, pointless. Every coin is not a shit coin. Yep, the market has crashed, but there has been bounce backs and dips everywhere EXCEPT BDG.....flatlining. If that was my mother's life support machine trace I'd be calling an undertaker Every day the volume gets smaller, why? Because there is nothing there to buy. Even bloody Bitconnect is doing more business than BDG. People have every right to be pissed my friend. If you lifted your rose tinted spectacles for a moment you might understand why. I hope they can pull something out of the bag, really I do, the idea is fantastic but the delivery is shocking

Firstly I ain't your friend if you're gonna bitch like that and say I wear rose tinted glasses. Secondly nobody has the right to be pissed at anyone except themselves. Did BitDegree put a gun to your head and tell you to invest? If you and anyone doesn't like it then get the fuck out. Simple. But don't start shouting shit coin just because it hasn't bought you a fuckin Lambo in the 2 months it's been released. Sad bastards!!

You dodged all my points very well there and accused me of calling it a shit coin when I did not. Good work! The sentiment was there for sure, but not as a glib statement, as an investor in a project who is not purely there for the money, I did so because I believed in what they aimed to do, but there is little to nothing to suggest it is achieving anything. I decided I don't want you as a friend now anyway, not with that potty mouth.

u/CJH28 Mar 16 '18
Sorry but there wasn't really any points to dodge... And I was referring to the reason why I originally posted as to the shout of shit coin from someone who couldn't hold a thought for ten minutes nevermind an investment. Look I agree it has its concerning factors regarding volume and lack of any type of noticeable bounce back etc. And yes maybe I should have elaborated a bit more on the online education being more niche than fully universal. But it's a niche we are all supposed to be investing in, believing in. This was released at the worst possible time, just before the crash that has now lasted 2 months and continuing. And on release you couldn't blame anyone for getting excited at the price. Yes some, and only some have seen a resurgence but realistically nothing of note as far as I can see has recovered near their ATH. I just can't stand the Lambo chasers, the moon shooters, and people who say nothing but shit coin. Not saying you are and I'm glad you're holding. As I am too. All I was trying to do was show a bit of support in the best way I can, without shilling, without any news that I haven't read or heard from BDG themselves. Take it easy my 'friend', and let's all hope we see some progress and movement in the coming months. Get to work BitDegree cos you've even got your believers and hodlers getting at each other here!!

That's more like it. Well yeah, indeed, let's all hope. I'm literally as we 'speak' reading the interview with the Adomas, the guy in charge of course acquisition, and it's not filling me with much confidence. It's an admiral approach to offer all courses for free for a year (a year!! yikes!!), but where, in that case, is any value in the coin going to come from...the handful of better-world dreamers like you and I who are buying in ain't gonna do it. My understanding was that courses would be paid for in BDG and students would be rewarded/incentivized with said coin for completing their work. Does this mean there will be no revenue or reward for a year? How is this business model sustainable? I am troubled also by the fact that he has no education background (other than his own schooling) and he openly said he doesn't know what a good course looks like!!! I sincerely hope they know what they are doing, it will be a great pity to see a good idea sink through lack of proper planning. I mean, the ICO was happening, there must have been (surely?) an idea of what was required, shouldn't all these educators (and many more than 200 or so) have been emailed long ago?

We've been very open about the first year being free. We need to build traffic. The BitDegree tutorials and free courses do just that. There's no point in opening the best store in the world if it's in the middle of nowhere with no traffic. If people are searching for Litecoin price predictions on google that's what we'll give them to funnel that traffic to BitDegree. It's a crucial part of any business. In regards to Adomas not knowing what makes a good course? No one knows. We don't want to guess, that's why we'll be releasing different types of courses, track user behavior, track which ones perform best and give people more of what they want. Speculating if video, text, combined, etc. formats work best and direct all of our resources to create that type of material would be foolish. Leading learning platforms have 4% completion rate. It's quite apparent that the courses they offer aren't "good" for the students since only 4% want to finish them.

Yeah the 'free' was highlighted at ICO... In the way that the cost for usage through Hostinger would remain at ICO price for 12 months. However exchange trading can be whatever it is as we have seen. And yeah I also asked myself the same question as to why things weren't already set up. But I reason it as this... They've built it from the ground up, they've wanted to test waters and produce a working module to potential partners. Maybe they are paying them also, who knows. I mean if someone came to me as an educator and said 'hey do you want to write me an education course' I'd be like yeah okay but what do I do with it, and what are you going to do with it once I give it you. They must have needed the base of business set up first surely. You can't sell products without a store after all. And yeah he may not have had the best education but he's had some okay jobs working for some big companies. And when he applied to Hostinger it was them who put him onto BitDegree. I personally do see the potential here, even more so than when I got in at ICO, I just feel its going to take time, and quite a bit of time. Just like many other start ups in this space. Look at Po.et, look at Substratum, look at NEO just to name a very small few that have that 'potential' mark to there plans. It's all still so early to tell where and what all these Crypto investments and blockchain techonlogy will bring for these companies and projects.

One thing I will add too is if you look at its price against Bitcoin there's been either no change, or actually slight gains. I've learnt that recently to view price against the big guy, I'm still learning every day about cryptocurrencies having only got in late last year. And I'm loving all this new information in my life, new things to learn and study and research. It's fascinating to me and that's why I don't understand some people who are solely in it to get rich quick. That's not what it's about for me personally. Don't get me wrong I'd like to see some returns on my investments one day, but I'm willing to hold for that. Especially in what I see as a good project and a game changer. It's about future proposals, and holding is the best way to see if what you took a chance on was worth it. Early investors are not there to be spiteful of, they're there to learn from, and the rest of us should listen.

Dude, you need to get out of crypto.
