Winklevoss’ Gemini Photo Bombs Kardashian-West at Met Gala After Party

By CCN: It turns out the Winklevoss twins aren’t content being Harvard-educated crypto billionaires. They want the title of memelord, too. As this latest piece of marketing shows, cryptocurrency exchange Gemini will do anything to be absorbed into the mainstream consciousness. This includes having their company’s logo photo bomb Kim Kardashian and Kanye West at a Met Gala after party in New York.

Winklevoss’ Kardashian-Fueled Gemini Marketing Machine Is in Overdrive

Using (fortuitous or planned?) happenstance with the Kanye West meme, Gemini’s marketing machine has been garnering a lot of attention lately. The last headline-grabber that we saw was a contest giveaway for 1 bitcoin. All contestants have to do is to snap a picture of the Gemini Crypto Bus and the Winklevoss’ will give the winner of the best shot a whole BTC. The entire concept of a giveaway is extremely obnoxious but seems to be working. For the record, this competition is still going on.

Crypto Memes Are Here to Stay After Kardashian-West Moment

Now back to the meme. It’s an absolute lottery win for Gemini and the brothers. How is it possible that the company logo is so perfectly centered between two pop culture icons? Haters will say it’s fake. It was also extremely fortunate that Kim’s outfit couldn’t be a lot more eye-catching. A sizeable portion of the population hasn’t noticed that Kanye is in this photo yet and don’t care what Gemini is. Ms. Kardashian-West’s physique is not the marketing lure you’d expected from Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, but it’s the meme trap you got.

Regulation-Friendly Gemini Wants Mainstream Acknowledgement Above All Else

The Winklevoss twins’ strategy for Gemini exchange is clear. They want it to become part of the mainstream financial establishment. This puts them at odds with a large portion of the cryptocurrency world who balk at excessive regulation and associating with “legacy finance.” Given Tyler and Cameron’s affluent background, it isn’t surprising that they crave mainstream validation. The acceptance of their beloved bitcoin by the same 1% who likely ridiculed them for plunging their Facebook settlement into BTC must be their dream.

Facebook’s Crypto Plans Are “Cool” with Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss

Given their prior tussle with Mark Zuckerburg, Gemini’s founders have been surprisingly sanguine about the advent of a Facebook cryptocurrency. The twins are mainstream crypto by any means possible. Ultimately this means the “Libra” project is an unequivocal positive in their worldview.

Was Satoshi’s Vision Giveaways and Memes?

Does anyone know if Satoshi Nakamoto referenced “Kimye” memes in his whitepaper? Bus picture contests? Regardless, It looks like Elon Musk’s monopoly on meme-lord marketing is at an end.

Snovio Brings Blockchain to Implement an Innovative Approach to Lead Generation and Sourcing

Snovio, a lead generation and sourcing platform, announces its Token Sale starting 3 October 2017 to raise $15 million to make a pivot towards the innovation the lead generation market needs.

[Note: This is a press release.]


Snovio

Snovio Minimum Viable Product

Snovio released the platform’s beta version in April 2017. Since that time, Snovio has built the database of 400,000 unique B2B leads and extended the service functionality with the following features:

  • Email Verifier that checks email addresses to ensure that the email list is valid and bounce-free.
  • LinkedIn Email Search used to find and save emails and more valuable data of LinkedInners.
  • Domain Search and Bulk Domain Search through which the users can extract emails along with names and job positions from various domains. It is reinforced with Prospect Search, Company Search and Linker (boolean search) being extremely handy when it comes to leads in specific fields.

Improvements and Innovations Ahead

As stated by Alexis Kratko, Snovio CEO and Founder, the platform aims to facilitate the process of lead generation and sourcing for all possible seekers of information. To do that, Snovio is going to transform the established methods of lead generation into the new decentralized one, power the platform by Blockchain and embed the smart contract.

  • Decentralized Search

Snovio’s crowdsourcing data collection technology will be based on a decentralized network of an unlimited number of contributors who will add new data to the system and update already existing information using Snovio Chrome Extension. The platform will reward data suppliers with SNOV tokens in the amount of 70% of the sold lead cost. Thanks to blockchain technology and smart contract, Snovio contributors will explore the transparent and fair revenue distribution model.

  • Marketplace

After the Token Sale, the platform will evolve into a Marketplace. A customer will place a data supply order and set a reward in SNOV tokens for the order fulfillment. A contributor or several contributors, being interested in receiving a reward, will perform a data search and submit the collected data back to the customer who will verify them and accept the order. After this, the contributors will receive the reward.

  • Mailing Service

Aside from working on data enrichment techniques, the team is also developing a mailing service that will enable the customers to create and launch an email campaign and automated triggered email series.

Upcoming Token Sale

A total of 2,5 billion SNOV tokens based on Ethereum blockchain will be generated and capped, and 60% of them will be available for purchase within 30 days from the token sale launch date. The success threshold is set as $5 million USD, while the hard cap – $15 million USD.

Pre-sale through the White List is already live and will continue till 2 October 2017.
