MarketOrders Co-Founder quoted in 2 E-Crypto News articles about Bitcoin

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in E-Crypto News articles “Now That Bitcoin Is Below $10,000 What Do We Do About It? Industry Leaders Share Their Opinion (Exclusive!)” and “Cryptocurrency Crystal Ball: Predictions For The Next Decade (Exclusive!)”
She said: “Though the price of Bitcoin has fallen of late this could be due to lower investor confidence fueled by the ongoing issues with Libra and the slow progress of Baakt. However, I predict this is short term and that the price will steadily increase again as we head towards the end of the year”.
And: “The crypto space is approaching the teenage years being just a decade old. In this time, just like a child growing up, it has had to spend time to figure itself out and understand itself and its place in the world.
Crypto is also undergoing this change. It has successfully become a mainstream term in a decade, with more and more people understanding what cryptocurrencies are and more importantly, understanding that they now have a choice as to how to make payments.
Within the next decade, I predict that crypto will move even further into the consciousness of mainstream media and become a more acceptable term. We will see the rise of a new generation of people who will use crypto first and fiat second.
I also predict there will be more outlets and businesses that adopt the use of crypto as valid payment types.
We will also see countries leapfrogging straight into crypto and digital payments via their mobiles rather than using desktop/laptop online banking and we will see this change predominant in nations where there are a large number of people underserved or unbanked by their current financial institutions. This is the key fertile ground for cryptocurrencies and FinTechs to flourish and find their customers.”

MarketOrders COO featured in 2 CEO Blog Nation articles

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently featured in CEO Blog Nation articles “28 Entrepreneurs Share Their Tips and Tricks of Staying Motivated” and “12 Entrepreneurs Explain How They Shatter Their Business Goals”.
She said: “Being an entrepreneur often means there is no clear roadmap laid out as most entrepreneurs are doing something which has never been done before. This also means it can be hard to see if you are making progress and you need to be able to keep yourself motivated in order to stay focused on your goals and not give up which is one of the biggest reasons for failure in the start-up world. One of the ways I stay motivated is to schedule in periods of time on a weekly basis where I can treat myself to something that is not related to work. This can include things like a day trip to the beach, a massage or a trip to the theatre. Sometimes it can be as simple as spending the afternoon in my favourite park. Scheduling in treats like this keeps me motivated as it motivates me to get tasks done knowing that once I have completed something important I can treat myself to something fun and it acts a reward for important tasks done. These ‘mini-rewards’ help to keep my motivation levels high.”
In the second article, she said: “Unrelenting focus on your goal and not wavering from it helps you smash your goals. Doubt and insecurity can seep in so you have to continually remind yourself why you do what you do and refocus on the progress you are making and looking forward. I keep a log of things I’ve achieved and we share all our progress and success with our investors and customers in our monthly newsletter. Keeping track and seeing this progress keeps me motivated! An example of when we smashed a huge goal was crowdfunding. We never gave up hope or courage right until the end of the campaign when we pushed even harder and gave it all we had to smash our goal, which resulted in us overfunding on our target. We used all the resources we could possibly think of to help us reach our goal. Our team, our family and friends, and our network. Never underestimate the power of your network!”

MarketOrders COO quoted in Cointelegraph about Crypto Rating Council

MarketOrders COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Cointelegraph article “Crypto Rating Council Is Out to Help Change US Regulatory Landscape”.
She said: “The SEC should welcome the creation of the CRC as it shows key players in the industry making an effort to create more clarity in this industry. With more clarity, it will make more people more comfortable in using cryptocurrencies which will undoubtedly help local crypto markets to thrive and flourish. People need to feel more confident before they jump into this area and not feel worried they could be penalised.”

MarketOrders Head of PR & Coms featured in PR on the Go

MarketOrders Head of PR & Coms, Caroline Hoffmann, got featured in an article about the difference between PR and advertising. When asked to give an example, she explained her strategy and highlighted MarketOrders’ success!
She said: “PR is about persuading and influencing people through unpaid methods. Advertising is usually used to promote, sell a product. PR is used to build, protect and enhance the image of a brand. PR has more credibility because, allegedly, it is independently verified by a trusted third party, rather than purchased. And this is what makes PR trustful.

Would you trust a sales guy who wants to sell a product, or someone like you and me who has no ties with the company, who actually tried the product and shares his feelings and opinion about it? We all know the answer.

As a startup, you need to know what your objectives are before choosing whether you should do PR, advertising, or both. Both tactics have different outcomes answering different needs.

Example:

The last campaign I’ve worked on was MarketOrders crowdfunding campaign. We started working on the press relations 6 months before the campaign was launched.
NB: we didn’t have any budget for advertising, at all.

Outcomes:

• Over 100 mentions in the press.

• Over 20 awards nominations.

• The campaign overfunded at 112%, raising a total of £439,840.

• 95% of the investors heard of us outside of the crowdfunding platform, through PR.

How did we do it? In a nutshell, we focused on the innovative technology of the business, its benefits, and raised the profile of the company’s Co-Founder as a woman in tech, successful entrepreneur and an authority in her field.”

MarketOrders CEO quoted in Finance Magnates about wash trading in crypto

Our Co-Founder and CEO, Ram Krishnna Rao, recently gave his opinion about wash trading in the cryptocurrency industry, in the Finance Magnates article “Six Months After Bitwise, Wash Trading Lives on in Crypto”.
He said: “It’s a lot easier to wash trade small market cap tokens than large market caps,” he said. “However, with investor sentiment on a decline, these small caps have noticed it’s an illegal and temporary solution and ultimately unless there’s developer growth, the outcome of the project will dwindle and the price will move proportionally to BTC, almost all the time.”
Along with Ram, other experts gave their opinion:

  • Mitesh Shah, Founder & CEO of Omnia Markets
  • Igor Chugunov, CEO and Founder at Credits Blockchain Company
  • Peter Wood, CEO of CoinBurp
  • Nir Dovrat, CEO of Algoz
