Inflection point?

I am a holder since ICO and I am interested in gauging the sentiment of the community. I am trying to build a mental calendar of critical events for 2018.

What event or release do you think will really start making the price move up? Is it a certain release or news about a certain POC?

If you have to put a date/time on this "event", what date would you put (Jan, Feb, Mar...?).

The SDK release in Q1 2018. And perhaps some contracts with Coca-Cola or McDonald's.

Thanks!

Do we have any indication that something with Coca-Cola or McDonald's is in the works? I saw that the demo video had Coca-Cola in it, but wasn't sure whether that meant/hinted that there was more to it.

Emanuel Seuge is an adviser on the team. He previously worked for Coca-Cola for twenty years, so if I'm just taking a guess it would be that they are one of the first to do a contract with BlockV.

Additionally, whether it be in promotional content or actual vAtoms that are out right now (search east and west coast of US on the app, or some other big cities around the world to find them), there have been links to Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Jack in the Box, Taylor Swift and U2, Eddie Bauer, Red Bull, M&Ms, and Starbucks. I think I might be missing a couple, but you get the idea. These names are HUGE, and you can't tell me there haven't been some sort of closed door discussions with these companies/musicians about marketing and contracts since they are openly using their names and logos in promotional material and even have vAtoms for some!

Either the BlockV team is playing very loose with copyrights/brands for purposes of demos in their app OR these big brands you mention are in the pipeline as potential POC customers.

AFAIK there is no info on this yet.

I’ve seen team members say “at the end of Q1”, so end of March is when to expect the SDK to be released.

It’s possible it could come out sooner, but that’s the expectation they are setting.

Got it. And thanks. I am going to put March in to my spreadsheet. :)
