2022-08-25 21:45:16 ​​ Why buying crypto during crisis

George Galoyan, founder and CEO at DAO.vc, recommends buying Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] right now when the price of these coins has almost reached its minimum. The crisis can be the best time to profitably purchase such assets.

High volatility has always been a cornerstone of cryptocurrencies not secured by assets, therefore, their current downfall is not a surprise. In 2018, Bitcoin reached the price of $19 783 and then dropped to less than $3300. This depreciation became even more dramatic than the one happening over the last 6 months. Those who managed to buy Bitcoin at the price of about $3300 can benefit from its 2000% leap up to more than $64 800 for the coin!

The current price of cryptocurrencies dropped to new minimums of 2022 since investors had been getting rid of risky assets in response to high inflation. Despite the fact that Bitcoin has gone down by 50% since the beginning of the year, experts predict it to reach $100 000 — it is just a matter of time.

Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency, has also reached its new historic maximum at the end of the last year and then has fallen below $900 in June, the lowest level since the beginning of 2021.

According to experts, this number can depend on the success of a large-scale update of Ethereum planned for September 19. Ethereum transfers its technology to a less energy-intensive version. The update is also expected to make the network more efficient, fast, and cheap to use. In 2022 Ethereum can exceed the mark of $4000 and may even go up to $12 000.

Now is the best time to but the DAO.vc tokens

The market is sure to subside significantly. Nevertheless, there are clear factors that suggest the stability of the DAO.vc project and the perspectives for growth, and consequently, the increase of token price in the future:
the DAO.vc ecosystem is developed, firm, and constantly grows together with its partners;

2022-08-19 11:00:06 ​​ CEO of DAO.vc George Galoyan gave advice on how to act in a bear market!

Crypto investing is always fraught with risk, even in a growing market. But how to survive a bear cycle when a falling bitcoin pulls altcoins with it?

To minimize risks, it is better to buy Bitcoin [BTС] and Ethereum [ETH]. Now the price of these coins has almost reached the minimum, which means that in the coming years there will be no better time to buy them profitably.

It also makes sense to look at other popular coins, but only the most fundamental projects, such as Solana, PolkaDot, and Harmony. Some well-established exchange-traded tokens may also remain relevant.

The main investment strategy is to refrain from transferring all assets into cryptocurrencies. The safest method of preserving capital remains portfolio diversification. You should divide your finances: into stocks, cryptocurrencies and valuable metals.

Besides, you should refrain from investing in various so-called "hype" coins, or "shitcoins". The price of such assets directly depends on the price of Bitcoin, which is still very unstable: right now its value can vary from $15,000 to $22,000.

A good solution is to take advantage of decentralized venture ecosystems such as DAO.vc. You can enter it safely and even with a small capital. Since you are not investing in individual projects, but in their index — a large tokenized pool managed by the community — your investment is safe from the possible failure of any of them!

2022-08-02 21:51:08 ​​CEO DAO.vc George Galoyan: crypto winter is already here. But it will be gone

In January 2022, George Galoyan, crypto expert, CEO and founder of the autonomous venture ecosystem DAO.vc, predicted the fall of bitcoin down to $20000.

As early as June, the price of the flagman cryptocurrency fell to that level. But each decline is followed by rapid recovery and growth. It is the reason crypto winter does not cool down the interest of investors in the industry, and digital assets remain attractive for investment .

The course of Bitcoin has pulled along the rest of the market.

Over the last half a year, the cost of other leading cryptocurrencies — Ethereum (ETH), Cardano (ADA) и Polygon (MATIC) — went down by more than 60%.

Galoyan believes that this situation is quite predictable since the correction is regular. The market is cyclical, therefore the periods of incredible growth are followed by a rapid downfall, but then crypto recovers and its price goes up. According to George, there are two possible versions of events in the next few weeks: bitcoin falls down to $18 000 or goes up to $22000. Stagnation, the phase of the unstable price of bitcoin and top coins are the possibilities for new investors and the period of coin storage in the of holders. In any case, recovery of the sector awaits us: despite the drop in prices, digital assets go on attracting investors’ attention, as confirmed by Bank of America.

According to George Galoyan, cryptocurrency turmoil was influenced by a range of factors:
low activity of miners (low mining intensity during correlation);
global and rapid sale of assets by major companies;
geopolitical conflicts.

The expert believes that even with the influence of global events on the market price of bitcoin and crypto winter, cryptocurrencies remain independent of the politicians’ actions. According to him, there is no connection between political decisions and the digital assets market.

Any conflict destroys the economy, leading to high inflation. However, the economic downturn makes governments and regulators look for new ways to replenish the budget. The legalization of crypto assets may become such a step. For example, galloping inflation in Ukraine devalues accumulations, causing a high level of mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

2022-07-28 21:28:39 ​​CEO DAO.vc George Galoyan named top 5 ways to attract crypto investment

In 2021, crypto startups attracted a record investment of $25.2 billion! It is more than over 7 previous quarters. As early as the first quarter of 2022, crypto startups managed to raise $9.2 billion which is the record maximum, exceeding the previous record (4th quarter, 2021) by 400 billion dollars.

461 deals with cryptocurrency startups were made since the beginning of the year, which is 60 deals more than in the 4th quarter of 2021. Mega rounds for $100 million also hit the record of 28 over the first quarter of 2022, according to the CBInsights company research.


In short, the crypto industry has money. The question is how to get it.

George Galoyan, investor and founder of the decentralized autonomous venture ecosystem DAO.vc, has earlier raised more than $1.2 million for his own startup. During one of the latest events, he shared 5 proven methods of fundraising with beginning crypto teams:

Product is on top of all. MVP is still the cornerstone of every crypto project. It must be viable, unique, correlate with the market, and solve a specific problem in order to bring profit.

Community is the power! An active, loyal, solvent community must become your token holders and the source of income. Constantly interact with it: news, AMA sessions, giveaways, etc.

Startup Incubators / Accelerators are a good way to not only get financing but also project support from experts. There are entire programs on startup acceleration/incubation for their successful introduction to the market.

Venture funds have constant interest in potentially profitable companies that have already passed the Seed stage. There exist Seed funds focused on investment in early-stage crypto startups.

Grants and Angels. The former are limited and demand MVP, roadmap, and a competent team from you. The latter are often ready to invest even in an idea but can demand a great share of business in return.

The crypto market is a fickle and aggressive environment where freshmen struggle to survive. But let’s quote Einstein: “In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

Everyone has a chance to become a Unicorn! Two things required are a real value and a team with enough competence and powers to introduce it to the audience.

2022-06-23 21:00:03 ​​AMA with DAO.vc CTO
(Text summary)

We’ve recently had the AMA with the DAO.vc CTO Karina, where she answered all the questions regarding the platform, its functionality, possibilities for investors, startups, and freelancers. She also shared details of new products and benefits for the community.

Some info about the platform from the DAO.vc CTO

An investor can choose a relevant startup, a startup can hire a professional, and so on. The main condition is the match of parameters, requirements, and interests. In fact, the platform will function similarly to Tinder by creating pairs.

We also want to pay attention to security to be sure that your data will not be stolen. I cannot share all security aspects since it’s top secret info, but I can tell for sure that your data, as well as your transactions, are totally protected. Our Smart Contracts are backed by all testing required to ensure security within our platform. If you’re interested, we can prepare an article on user data security.

We also think about investors, since there are lots of scam projects on the market, and inventors are not pretty sure what to do with them. We want to protect their finances and make sure that the investment process is secure.

How does it work? Let’s imagine that I’m a startup applying for the LaunchLab. I present my project roadmap and divide it into main stages. I also have a pool of investors ready to give their money. Being a startup, I am to present proof of my work at every stage to get financing for further steps. I am not only collecting money but am also responsible for every work stage that will further be voted for by investors to continue financing. This system reduces risks for investors.

The idea is to make startups do their best to develop and protect investors who can see every stage of work with the help of the platform.

All the details will be described very soon. We have a great presentation ready, and in a week, we will show the material describing working mechanisms. There will be technical aspects with schemes and everything required to make the process clear.
