BitShares will be providing all the blockchain special effects for Startup Hollywood, a "shark tank" event for investors, entrepreneurs and internet marketers. The event takes place May 26-28 at the Los Angeles Center Studios - where Terminator 3 and many other movies you know were filmed.
Blockchains do special effects? They sure do. Especially when the event needs digital currency transactions to happen in real time for an immersive Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality game and a shark-tank competition where the audience gets to invest as part of the scoring mechanism. Who else you gonna call?
(Ok, ok, we plan to mention our friends Steemit, Peerplays, and EOS when we are talking about real time blockchains too. But Bitshares will be the star of the show - the Whole Three Days.)
Here's a slide I might use in my hour-long live-televised "TED Talk" on real time blockchains and the HERO.
EOS will have debuted just the week before in New York, so I don't know quite what I'll say about it other than "stay tuned, it gets even better."
Now you know what that team meeting in Vegas was about a couple of weeks ago.
A Snippet from the Event Flyer
This 3-day, million-dollar event will bring together Entrepreneurs, Investors and a new breed of Internet marketer – The Game Master. And it will rock the industry.
Startup Hollywood is a “shark tank” style TV show with a crowdfunding twist to it. It’s set to be a bi-weekly live show shot on set at Los Angeles Center Studios in downtown L.A. In each episode, hand selected entrepreneurs will pitch their ideas to major players in Hollywood and big name investors. Each deal will be influenced by the bidding from a live viewing audience via our Startup Hollywood gamified augmented reality app – where assets and currencies are traded on a leading blockchain exchange - in real time.
Game Master Academy trains the world’s best internet marketers how to take their game to a much higher level – high enough to make attending investors far more confident that the entrepreneurs they are funding will be successful. Three-way synergy!
There are four revolutionary technologies we will be demonstrating and teaching attendees how to bring together for their own three-way joint marketing efforts:
• Blockchain – a new digital exchange, custom coins, and real-time performance.
• Gamification – sweetening the sales pitch using real-time coin rewards.
• Crowdfunding – newly legalized ways to raise funds, literally overnight.
• Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality - as a profoundly engaging sales tool.
We will immerse the audience in a game “Matrix” that will gradually become apparent as they participate. The key technique is rewarding them for incremental learning accomplishments with digital currencies of increasing value. We assume that all start out blockchain illiterate and take them to the state of the art. They will start being rewarded with apparently worthless digital “Monopoly money” tokens but, by the end of the Event they will be issuing their own valuable specialty currencies and day-trading startup companies in real time at a live competition in the Tank with $50M worth of investment-quality digital currencies on the line.
If you want to know more, a full-length documentary tells all about the Event and takes you deep into the why and how of what it takes to be a Game Master. And Game Masters with these four skills will be the key to many more successful startups. Check it out at consumerreality.services
I agree that the documentary is far too long, yet I watched it all in one sitting and found it fascinating and well worth the time. (Besides, it says nice things about BitShares and Steemit.) If you don't watch the whole thing, don't complain about information asymmetry.
Real investors know how to dig.
Cheers!
