I think personally this is a very sensible decision. Venture Capital in mainstream financial investment cycles works very differently to Crypto investment mindsets. In Crypto people are interested mainly in short gains and then moving onto the next project, where as traditional investors really like to digest the projects they invest in for longer term profits. I wanted to ask one thing, the cumulative data that will be collected from the predictions will be sold to third party investment firms as well?
This is an area out of my expertise as I have never worked in the futures or predictions markets myself.
Yes the crowdsourced sentiment data will be sold to other funds, it will be another revenue stream of the company.
What % of the revenue is expected as this?
In terms of the relative value of each revenue stream, we will adapt to market forces and focus on whatever will drive greatest profit for Sharpe and the community of participants. The revenue streams are well integrated. For example, the crowd-sourced sentiment platform will produce data feeds of value to institutional investors such as hedge funds - and this is a product well have as a result of implementing the platform for our proprietary fund. We have already received enquiries about making our individual data-feeds available for other funds to leverage in their own investments. As another example, the implementation of enterprise grade blockchain solutions for internal auditing purposes derived from our own implementation of our trustless trading ledger service on Ethereum.
