Can you provide references to the partnerships? You are mentioning big names without any proofs at all. The names are not even linked to the websites. Anyone can claim to have partnerships. I can also say Donald Trump is my business partner, but who is gonna believe it without any proofs, eh? You are listing Zeex as partner of Zeex. I mean really!!!
And you need $50 million for what? Just to provide a platform for crypto to card exchange? This thing is happening on Bitcointalk trading section also. Not a big thing.
Also there are inconsistencies in roadmap and FAQ regarding launch of various features. Care to sync them with the latest status?
This project can have various advantages to people but need a lot more transparency regarding partners and fund use.
Zeek is not only a partner of Zeex, but a sister company. The retailers seen on Zeek's website will be supplying Zeex's on day one of the launch. How can we prove partnerships with Zeek? Daniel Zelkind (CEO and Co-Founder of Zeex) is a Strategic Advisor for Zeex. On top of that, Daniel has done multiple interviews discussing Zeex including this one on Medium-
https://medium.com/the-zeex-protocol/meet-the-brains-behind-zeek-daniel-zelkind-cb56390bcf35The Hard Cap of $50M is intended to be enough for us to launch globally. 55% of that will act as working capital for our suppliers, so it's actually quite a reasonable figure with all of that taken into account. By the way, those suppliers generally turn over working capital 40-60 times each year, so with funding of $2.5M a supplier could do $100M in volume.
To add to that, gift-cards are in-fact the least interesting part of Zeex in my opinion. We are going to merge two HUGE, $100B+ industries. In the future, there's going to be an API for anyone to issue their own blockchain-based gift cards to transact on-chain. There's going to be gift-card to crypto functionality, local markets, and discounts!
Thank you for pointing out the inconsistencies between the Roadmap and the FAQ. There are lots of good things happening for Zeex and with that comes change(s). We will make the appropriate changes.
Hope this helps.
