okay hola barcelona i'm very happy to be here with you how are you feeling are you excited about the event so [Applause] far you doing great [Music] too bad the bitcoin can't say the same you know it's not doing so great but that's it um yeah um before throwing stones at me for what is written on the screen um this is not news this is happening every bear market in my personal opinion i think bitcoin that bitcoin dies at least one thousand times every bear market as a funny thing uh bitcoin is dying searches on google hit an all-time high this month surpassing the previous all-time high from 2018 yeah so he's experiencing its first crypto bear market right now not so many but i feel you i feel you guys i've been there and i know the feeling so what leads to this we still have many issues in the crypto space we have some issues regarding the high risk we have price fluctuation and the price fluctuation in crypto i think is the biggest of them all we also have market manipulation there are projects in which some of the wallets are having the bigger part of the tokens or the liquidity and it's easy for them to manipulate the market in a way that the most people lose money and it was the ico fever back in 2017 where there were a lot of scams and unfortunately there are scam also now because uh being still in an unregulated space and almost having zero responsibility for the founders um we still have a lot of scams in the space we also have issues regarding the complexity of investing in crypto we have the multitude of tokens in crypto it's very hard for the usual user user to filter through all of these tokens we also have a massive amount of research you need to do in order to make a good investment and last but not least there are a lot of security concerns where do you keep it where do you have the custody of the digital assets also the private keys and so on so these were exactly my issues when i first started in crypto back in 2017 and uh i did a lot of mistakes back then but i knew one thing i got very very passionate about crypto when i first heard about it it was uh about eater back then and i wanted to do one thing i wanted to do a lot of research and improve my knowledge and this is exactly what i did i started learning more and more about blockchain about crypto and being involved in the space more and more a lot of friends and partners came came to me i have a background in construction and real estate so this is like traditional market you know and when i got involved in crypto the dynamic was very very big and as i said a lot of friends and parents came to me and asked me leave you is this a good project to invest in is it a good time to invest now in crypto where do i keep my bitcoin where do i keep my interest a lot of questions that people had and wanted an answer just a disclaimer i wasn't back then and i'm not now a financial advisor but i saw a lot of needs that people have so there are three big categories of needs that people had and still have in crypto people want safety people where they want their investments to be safe they also want simplicity they want a straightforward way to invest they want to skip the headache and the complexity of crypto and let's be honest guys everyone it's in the market to make profits and uh at least greater than inflation which uh proves to be quite a challenge this year isn't it yeah so i started thinking very very much what is the answer to all these problems that people have sorry [Applause] i think we have a technical problem okay so the answer guys after a long wait it is imperium the crypto index we developed a tool similar to the s p 500 index but for the crypto market it's basically a tool that helps you to keep your funds always in the top in the top cryptocurrencies how we are doing that we develop an algorithm the sr algorithm i think it's a sexy name and what it does it rebalances your portfolio it does market checks every few seconds and in a matter of minutes it rebalances your portfolio so basically what it does it keeps you protected from individual token crashes when you think about luna when luna is exiting our index we are selling all the position and buying the new token which took the place of luna so think about that which is the imperium index you may ask is not only one but we have many there are six set of indices imperium 10 20 and 50 with or without bitcoin this is the difference between them we have the imperium 10 20 and 50 with bitcoin and the imperium 10 20 and 50 all coin versions we are excluding bitcoin all the indexes are excluding stable coins and wrapped tokens that's not all there's more what is lex you may ask lex is the token which is fueling the imperium ecosystem it's your way in the indexes by holding the legs token you can access the imperium indexes lex has multiple functions that can increase your amount of tokens you can stake it you can make liquidity providing with it and also the term mechanism it's a mechanism through which the legs holders can access the imperium index can benefit from the employment indexes without being invested in the imperium indexes i'm not allowed to say more right now but all i'm gonna say is gonna be huge for the legs holders how it works it's like magic guys one two three four and now you are all smart investors yeah so first you go to a ki cima procedure which takes under one minute you purchase the next tokens you invest in imperium and then you are issued an nft which is your undisputed proof of ownership of the underlying assets who are the imperium investors on the first hand we have the traditional investors we have the banks we have the hedge funds we have the vcs who wanted to have a similar investment tool that they have in the traditional markets and they were they missed that investment tool in the crypto markets and now they have it through the imperium index we also have the crypto enthusiasts who like to access the crypto functions the d5 functions like staking and liquidity providing and they can do that through the next token and basically we have everyone we have crypto beginners or investment beginners who now have a straightforward way to invest in crypto through the imperium indexes we are also thinking about all the safety measures that we can do to protect our investors so we have a crypto license a vast license virtual asset service provider in lithuania and we are fully regulated to function all across the european union okay so i think we see a lot of potentials here we have big plans big goals and i'm very excited for what's going to be next for the imperium indexes let's go to a quick run through to the road map what we managed to do where we are now and what we plan to do in the future we have the ideation phase we are working on this project for more than one and a half years and we did the market research we finished last year with a proof of concept to validate our algorithm and now we are in the seed phase for the next token we aim to be live at the end of this year at the start of next year we'll be launching more specific indexes like d5 indexes metaverse indexes exchange token indexes and so on and until the end of the year we can have a license on every continent to have a global presence and to reach mass adoption for the imperium indexes so thank you guys wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait one more thing please we did a lot of talking about imperium indexes how good it is how it works but does it really work let's find out together very quick so we develop a simulator which simulator investment in the european indexes i will need one volunteer from the audience to help run two scenarios one for a boom market and one for a bear market who want to join me please [Applause] anyone thank you which scenario do i have which scenario do you wanna have a bull market or a bear market okay so let's run a bull market scenario you can choose the investment date and also the cash out date for the course of the last year and simulate your investment in any of the indexes that we have [Applause] which index do you want to choose [Applause] i am 20 okay so imperium 20 with bitcoin how much you want to invest [Applause] 1 000 10 000 dream big one million dollars okay let's go one million dollars so we're on the simulation a quick capture i hope it's good so what you can see on the first column we can see the market share of the crypto projects inside the top 20 the market share the amount of bitcoin in ether and so on that the algorithm bad for you and the total value and also on the second column you can see the structure of your portfolio at the cash out date if you go down below we can see the return on investment you almost doubled your money and also you have a comparison what would have happened if you invested purely in bitcoin one million dollars and what would have happened if you invested in imperium 20. so almost for the whole period imperium is performing better than bitcoin so let's run another simulation for a bear market thank you very much who wanna help me another volunteer please thank you okay let's run a scenario for the bear market we'll go the bear market of last year in the summer please choose an index [Applause] i am 50 without bitcoin i am 50 altcoin 1 million is good ok basically we have the same columns where you see what was the market structure the index structure when you invested and which was the market structure at the cash out date if we go down below we see the performance the return on investment this is not something we can control this is what market did but look what imperium 50 alcorns did compared to what bitcoin did so almost in every scenario either we are referring to a bull market either we are referring to a bear market the indexes are performing almost every time better than bitcoin okay thank you very much the technician was very helpful let's go further with the presentation just one more thing i want to say to you as a closing thoughts okay so i want to present you very quickly the three b's begin build and buy begin is still early for the crypto market and there's a lot of room to grow so you must get involved in the market because time in the market beats time in the market timing the market okay build there are a lot of opportunities ahead if you keep and stay away from the noise and also buy it's a good time to accumulate and as you know is never a bad time to buy crypto thank you for real this time i always leave you manda it was a pleasure and an honor to be in front of you and one more thing guys i want to have a selfie with you to have a memory it's okay for you to do that yeah thank you very much [Applause]
