Hi Mr. Oosting and thank you for your evaluation.
However, we wanted to clarify a bit of doubts you have.
As you have well observed we have a good background in the music industry, having been part of it for many years now, this means that we really know what the problems are and how they can be solved.
At the same time, honestly, I do not know how you talk about blockchain experience, when the market itself is very young and has very little experience.
People with more experience, have 2/3 years in the development and operations in blockchain, so, again, what experience do we speak about?
Who says he has a lot of experience in the blockchain or considers himself an expert in the market, or is a scammer or is one who has not understood yet what technology is operating with.
Our CEO Angelo Recca, who is also one of the founders, has been in the blockchain world since 2013 when he discovered Bitcoin and no longer left the industry, continuing as an investor also in the ICO of ETH.
As you can see on our official site, the advisors are not lacking as you say, but we only preferred to do the pre-ICO without, and then engage them for our PUBLIC SALE.
As for our artists, we are proud to have them on board, as supporters of our project even if they are not the likes of Tiesto, Maroon 5 or others of that thickness, but they are still well-known artists worldwide as they tour and concerts all over the world. Always remember the reason why BitSong is born, not only for the great artists, already very famous all over the world, but also for emerging artists, who are having difficulty in emerging, because of an industry that if you do not have the right contacts and the necessary capital, you can have as much talent as you want, they cut your wings the same.
Regarding the activity of which you speak on telegram, we consider that we have enough, being among the few who have decided not to pay for activities on telegram! it is very easy to hire a group of guys who comment from morning to night through various bots, as do 90% of the projects, but where is the sincerity and transparency of that company in this case? Then it becomes all marketing and there is no longer anyone who can be credible!
If you had carefully looked at our whitepaper, it says that the Tokens not sold in the pre-ICO will be put on sale in PUBLIC SALE, this is why you find yourself with 525M and not with 500M.
Another thing you missed is when you said that the stabilization of our platform is Q3 2019 and Q4 2020. So as you can read well on our roadmap by Q4 2019, our platform will be completely stabilized, including the full version of it, while the whole of 2020 will be dedicated to the creation and stabilization of our own Blockchain, including the support related to the licenses.
So times are more than regular, although you are not aware of how difficult it was to find good blockchain developers, as there are no experience, and those who have a bit of experience, are already engaged with very large multinationals . That's why it amazes us when you talk about experience in this area.
We can also assure you that through our artists manager, we are in close contact with many world-renowned artists, who only wait for the formalities in the agreements and the tests we will make with our prototype, which will be ready very shortly.
We do not have to take anything to Spotify or Deezer because 99% of the artists have no exclusivity with them, so they are free to collaborate with whoever they want and with how many record companies they want, so the legend that if others have not succeeded it is no longer credible and nothing can guarantee that we will not succeed in our business.
In addition, listeners will have no reason not to "imigrate" from traditional competitors, or use BitSong alternating with some traditional platform, knowing that they would be allowed to get into the crypto world and earn while listening to music.
Conclude to thank you again for your evaluation, it would have done so much pleasure if you had done it more carefully, but that's fine, we're glad you talk about it.
