EXPLAINING WHAT CRAFTY IS


  Crafty is free platform specially designed for self-employers, allowing them to receive reviews and gain reputation based on their work. This platform offers online services to customers and freelancers as well. Crafty is an improved version of the platform headquartered in Brasil, Diarissima. 

  Diarissima was the initial prototype for Crafty, and it had a great success in Brasil because of its friendly platform,  cost reduction for users and  being a network model.

 Here is a better explanation given by Crafty itself:

WHY IS CRAFTY SO REVOLUTIONARY?


   The Crafty platform offers its users the possibility to connect directly with their service providers and negotiate prices and services.  Every service receives a review from the customer, leaving no possibility for powerful businesses to buy reputation with money or manipulate their clients with aggressive advertising. Each part is rewarded with a special token used by Crafty named CFTY (this concept will be explained to you later in this post). 

How are self-employed individuals and customers benefiting from using Crafty?

  If you're still wondering why is Crafty such a good idea for self-employers, here is one example I though about to make things easier: Let's say you are a fresh graduate of a university but you don't really know what to do next with your life and everybody pushes you to get a job. You want to work in your study domain because that's what you like. Unfortunately, you can't find a job good enough for you because of your lack of experience or the payment that doesn't satisfy you, or maybe, you simply don't like to work for others and you want to be on your own but it's hard for you to make yourself known as a freelancer. Here is where Crafty comes in! As a free platform, Crafty offers you the possibility to make your work and skills visible for people to see without demanding any payment. You gain a reputation based on your previous projects and you also get to negotiate directly with the clients, giving and receiving suggestions to make your work better. Your reputation gets stored in a blockchain. Crafty offers its users a self made cryptocurrency. You and your clients receive CFTY for reviewing each other.

Crafty presents itself as a help hand for people all over the world: fresh graduates, people who have reoriented themselves to another field, those who decided that they weren't satisfied with their career anymore and decided to work as freelancers and many more.

How is Crafty going to change the future of services:

1. Freelancers can advertise their businesses by presenting to their clients a reviews portfolio and with no expenses.

2. No large business is going to manipulate clients buying reputation or promoting themselves using brute ways.

3. Clients can benefit of good services and can receive tokens for giving reviews.

4. Both clients and self-employers can find solutions quicker and easier.

WHAT IS CFTY AND HOW CAN I USE IT?


  As it is written on the Craftys official website, the CFTY TOKEN is the basis of the ecosystem. 

  For the platform to remain free to use, Crafty created its own token. Users are rewarded with CFTY for the evaluation they give and receive. What can you do with this token? Once you accumulated it, CFTY can be exchanged for products and services.

 

  If you want to buy tokens you need to register yourself on the Crafty platform.

The presale is closed but there is another opportunity for you to buy CFTY with Bitcoin, Ethereum , Credit Card or PayPal: The Token Sale starts on 12th of February and ends on 13th of March, 2018.

WHO BUILT THIS AMAZING PLATFORM?


If you are wondering who are the people behind this project then here are they and a resume of their work and skills:

1st step: Buy bitcoin or Ethereum, then turn them into a token for this platform? Why not just utilize bitcoin or ethereum for the value transfer? Why the need for a "new token"? Because greed, that's it. There is no need for a token such as this as everything this token does can be achieved by already proven blockchains

 Although I understand your opinion @inity, I also don't see a problem in the proccess of transforming bitcoin and ethereum into CFTY (after all it's a token built on top of a blockchain), they are trying to create an 'internal economy' using their own token and I don't see something bad in this idea as it doesn't interfere with the evolution of the platform or its performance (many blockchain projects introduce a new currency). Moreover, I think users are getting more involved in the community the platform is trying to create this way. I'm looking forward to hear more about your opinion.

That model would work if you had an existing business model transitioning their "shares" to a token, but not when you're creating the value (tokens) out of thin air. Why not just pay freelancers with bitcoin or ethereum? But yeah, I know what you're saying, too.

 Agreed that this is a risky move for a barely released business. There is a need for trust in the system and in the token issuer. But I think they rely on the trust and value they obtained by releasing Diarissima three years ago. I guess we just have to see the evolution of it and if their project ideas are well set up.
