We've spent some quality time with a great person - Tobias Graf, CEO at Bitdepositary.
📣Check what we found out:
Q1: Tell us a little about yourself, how did you get into this business?
A1: My Name is Tobias Graf and I am the founder and CEO of Bitdepositary
I am from Germany near Munich. That is also the reason for my Bavarian English 🙂
And here i started in 2010 my first Insurance Brokerage Business. In 2015 we had already managed to obtain a phenomenal 15.000 new clients for a major German Health Insurance organization. This was also the beginning of our Salesforce Development journey. Just one year later, our company had secured a total of 25,000 new clients and since 2017.
I am also the CEO of several other companies, including a Finance broker Company, a marketing company, and the Holding Company.
That was a short overflight over my business career and now to the Point how we did get into this Business.
We come from the financial and technical world and we even provide financial investments to our customers and from this way we found the connection to the crypto world. You get in the Fiat world no more profit and this moved us to rethink.
We had to realize very quickly that in the Crypto world with good decisions and good projects it is also possible to get over 10,000% return, which is not possible in the Fiat world. Unfortunately, in this context, we also came across the many scammers on the Crypto World. Round 80% according to the current status.
The question now was, how we can delete the scams with a digital process and bring our customers the real crypto profit without scams.
That was the way how Bitdepositary was created.
Q2: What was the original idea behind the project?
A2: The original Idea was and is to STOP SCAMS and bring the Return to our Customers.
Q3. What makes this project innovative and special? How it will affect the average user?
A3: The best Point is our Voting Process which include our TeamBit:
What is TeamBit:
Inside the Bitdepositary space you will find TeamBit. This “organisation” (not in the traditional sense) consists of a team of experts, community leaders, accountants, and legal advisors who serve the Bitdepostary investor community. Think of them as a council. The action taken by TeamBit offer more protection against scams, token theft, and wrong investment decisions. All for the aim of bringing forth a marketplace that presents you with profitable and sustainable ICO projects.
As an example:
In the morning you meet someone that says he is a stock broker but a not verified Stock Broker and in the evening, you meet another stock broker but this one is measured by 10000 people and voted as the best stock broker. Which would you give your money?
I think the broker with most votes, right?
And Bitdepositary is the second stock broker, who has every project and all investments in our Voting Process by TeamBit.
Not everyone decides with the same voice, because everyone in our voting process is judged on the basis of their activities and successes. If that were not the case, you would shop at stock broker number 1 but we are the Voted Stock Broker.
Q4. There is a precipitation that most ICOs are going to fail in the long term. What is your opinion about this?
A4: The problem is that in the past projects also got a lot of money that did not make sense or not even the owner was known and that’s exactly what we want to avoid. We do not say we can clean up 100% of the scams, but we say 90% of Bitdepositary is free with our voting process.
Q5. Would this project be still possible without the use of the blockchain technology and why?
A5: No, it would not be because we build a payment provider based on the Blockchain which automatically passes on payments and projects. Likewise, our complete voting process is based on ERC720 and is therefore also publicly accessible via the Ethereum network.
The Blockchain is not good for all areas but for everything related to finance or for processes that are always the same, the Blockchain is a blessing.
Q6. If you could fully cooperate with another ICO project, which one would it be and why?
A6: I cannot say that exactly, because there is actually no project, which I would know that would fall exactly in the cooperation. I always say Bitdepositary builds a service that can partially be found in the following companies: Binance (Exchange) + Revolut (Payments provider) + ICO Bench (Rating). We improve these concepts and thus build the entire financial world for the user.
Q7. Right now, are you exploiting the full potential of your token’s utility?
A7: You can also use a token for further processes and activities, but with our token we serve our most important points, the investments in projects and the voting process.
If a concept can accomplish the most important points with its token I think, nothing stands in the way of the profit for the buyers.
Q8. What will be the benefits for long-term token holders?
A8: The benefits are clearly the investments in new projects with 25% more profit and return of Project Tokens as with other Payment methods. But since we are already 80% complete with our concept, the value of the token will also move in the right direction to provide investors with added value in this way too.
Q9. How do you plan to fight against phishing and scamming attempts concerning your token?
A9: We build our technical infrastructure on the following 3 building blocks: Salesforce is our Costumer Database (CRM) a company with a market value over 66 billion $ which protects our customers and us in the best way.
For our Wallet we use a Server with a Private Space from Heroku it’s also a part from Salesforce and thus offers no attack options, as the interfaces are directly connected. With these solutions and technical conditions, we will protect our users and us in the best possible way.
Q10. Tell us about your future plans. What to expect from the project?
A10: My clear commitment is that we can go live with our platform until the end of the ICO and that the first projects are processed there. The only thing that lasts until the beginning of the next year is the additional wallet for Fiat currencies, as we are much more complicated and unfortunately slower for the technical conditions. Our Multi Wallet with integrated Exchange will also be prototyped in the next few weeks and will be ready for use in October.
Q11. Finally, what is the message you want to communicate to the world and your supporters?
A11: If you look at the projects that were not scams and were successful, you will see the opportunity of Bitdepositary. That’s the point why you should be a part of Bitdepositary!
