An interview with Kurt Braget, Founder White Rabbit
Kurt, thank you for taking the time to talk with me today. Your site lists and highlights initial coin offerings, or ICOs. This gives you a unique vantage point in terms of what is coming to market, what’s hot and exciting, what’s not
What’s your elevator pitch, a synopsis of how you see what you do?
Ultimately we are an optimistic, practical and positive force in the crypto and blockchain space. We are scouting out great projects on blockchains, and sharing them with our community of friends
You list and highlight ICOs. How do you get access to the stream of deals?
We gather most of the ICOs and blockchain related projects from friends and crypto news online. Other sources are from our community, friends, and some software bots
What due diligence do you do on the projects you list?
Due diligence is often very complex and there are a lot of angles on how to assess crypto assets. So, in short, we don’t
Of course we do have our own personal opinion. One day one thing is hot and the next something else. We try to speculate as little as possible and mostly share and cover what we are excited about
We want to provide data and news so people can sort it out better themselves
I can tell you personally I really love the projects with solid traction or crazy sci-fi concepts that seem somewhat feasible
Do you feel we’re moving towards better quality projects? How do you measure quality?
I feel that we are always moving towards better everything in all industries. For ICOs the “better” is that any punk off the street can’t just mint and ICO and see it moon overnight like in the past
One bias I have towards the measure of quality is how many meaningful interactions with the blockchain a project has. Or if they are an app that has traction on a centralized layer and has a compelling use of blockchain. Established concepts that have working business models and traction that have a potentially nice purpose for a blockchain is also very interesting to me
Finally, I am very interested in projects that require some stakeholders to build infrastructure at a fee, which can spread out wealth in a more decentralized, participatory way. Example may be Filecoin or cloud IPFS based businesses, block production, storage as a…
