Saltillo - The Darkest Moment In Portuguese Football

The Saltillo Affair (Portuguese: O Caso Saltilho) was a series of controversies surrounding the Portuguese national football team during its participation in the Mexico '86 FIFA World Cup. The affair was named after the Mexican city of Saltillo, Coahuila, in which the team was headquartered for the competition, and also the place where the majority of the described events occurred. The team had not competed in a final phase of the World Cup since the 1966 FIFA World Cup twenty years before, where it had achieved an unprecedented 3rd place. Following a rough qualification, the 1986 campaign did not start well with the suspicion of doping falling on one of the players who had been selected for the tournament. Although that test was later proven wrong that was the first of many controversies to affect the team in the following weeks, that included threats of strikes from the players, the announcement of a series of demands to the Portuguese Federation and reports of inappropriate behavior at the team's headquarters. It was one of the biggest scandals involving the Portuguese national team Having achieved third place in the England '66 World Cup, several years elapsed before Portugal qualified again for a major football competition. This happened when they reached Euro 84, where they advanced to the semi-finals, being only beaten in extra time by hosts and soon to be champions France.
While not making a brilliant qualifying campaign for the Mexico World Cup, Portugal qualified one point ahead of Sweden thanks to a last-game victory against already-qualified leaders West Germany in Stuttgart Nicknaming them Os Infantes, with an anthem sung by Estebes (a fictional Porto native sports reporter with a stereotypical deep accent and fondness for wine, created by Portuguese humorist Herman José), the Portuguese had high hopes for their national team. One of the key issues initially tackled was how to deal with altitude. While only one of three matches of the group stage were played in altitude – two games in Monterrey (537 m) and one in Guadalajara (1600 m) – it was argued that the team should also prepare for games in Mexico City (2238 m), and so decided that the headquarters should be in Saltillo, neighbouring the England team. With problems scoring goals during the preparation matches, national team manager José Augusto Torres wanted to call up Rui Jordão, one of the key players two years before in France, who had not played the whole season due to a quarrel with his manager. On the other hand, Manuel Fernandes, who made one of his best seasons, scoring 30 goals, was not a viable option for Torres, to the dismay of Sporting fans. The team was eventually announced on 19 April: Goalkeepers: Manuel Bento, Vítor Damas and Jorge Martins Defenders: João Pinto, António Morato, Pedro Venâncio, Augusto Inácio, António Veloso, José António, Frederico Rosa, Álvaro Magalhães and Sobrinho Midfielders: Jaime Magalhães, Carlos Manuel, Jaime Pacheco, António André, António Sousa, Paulo Futre and José Ribeiro Forwards: Diamantino Miranda, Rui Águas and Fernando Gomes Hours before leaving Portugal on 10 May, Veloso tested positive for Primobolan, an anabolic steroid. This led to initial tensions between players, the FPF, and Benfica, Veloso's club, between claims of innocence and accusations of improper player care, woke Fernando Bandeirinha at 2 o'clock in the morning and rushed him to the airport as a substitute After a questionable decision about the air trip to Mexico (it was decided that instead of flying directly to Mexico City, the team should pass by Frankfurt and Dallas before on arrival it was clear that the Portuguese organization cared too much about altitude training, neglecting other aspects. The hotel, although suitable, had no safety measures, which meant it was often crowded with national and foreign reporters; the training field was sloped and poorly treated; and local amateur teams were invited for preparation matches Presented as a peaceful city, Saltillo proved to be anything but that. As the city was close to Laredo, Texas, in the United States, many players wanted to use their days off to shop there. A local organization delegate (grandson of a politician, known for being a small-time con artist) offered to go there and purchase the goods for the Portuguese, but after helping himself with the money, never returned. A game that was staged against a team composed of local workers (presented as a "good challenge" by the Mexican authorities) ended in a comical display where Diamantino even conducted an interview during the match while playing. Chile was willing to play, but the fee they asked was not met by Portuguese federation delegates. Rumours that the players were "jumping the fence" broke in Portugal, which led to their wives flooding the telephone lines for clarification on the issue By then, the authority of Amândio de Carvalho, vice-president of the Portuguese Football Federation was undermined, and president Silva Resende refused to leave Mexico City While the first days increased the tension between the elements of the national team, the worst was yet to come. The players first threatened to strike unless the prizes were increased, beginning a war of press releases between them and the federation. On 25 May the players dropped the bomb, refusing to play in a preparation match and further matches unless the situation was dealt with. The protest backfired, as in Portugal nobody stood with the players (press, fans and club directors included) and the international press tagged the incident as "ridiculous", but still took sides with the players due to the situations described by the players, which included being forced to advertise certain products (Adidas and a local brand of beer) without being paid After withdrawing some demands (and working around others, like wearing their training equipment inside out so that they did not display any brands[ Portugal played their opening game against England, beating the odds and winning the game with a single goal of Carlos Manuel, the Hero of Stuttgart (and said to be the head of the protesting players), which apparently opened the road to the knockout stage.
Futre, expected to be the revelation of the World Cup, did not play due to Torres wanting to keep a balance between clubs in the starting eleven (Futre played together with Fernando Gomes in FC Porto), and calling him the "secret weapon". Days later, Bento broke a leg during practice playing as a forward, which ended his career with the national team. He was replaced by Damas, one of the best goalkeepers in Portuguese history, but he was not prepared and fell into depression. The much celebrated victory was followed by a defeat against Poland. This left the decision to the last game against Morocco, knowing a tie would qualify both teams, but the game ended with a humiliating 3-1 defeat. As the Portuguese team, last in their group, returned home, the press was already tearing apart the whole institution of Portuguese football, from management to players José Torres quit, and was replaced by Ruy Seabra for the Euro 88 campaign, while removing several players from the national team – Diamantino, Jaime Pacheco, João Pinto, Sobrinho, Fernando Gomes, Paulo Futre and Carlos Manuel. This "team of change" did not endure much, as after a compromising home draw against Malta (which Seabra considered to be a "good display for those who like football") roughly a year after, Seabra was dismissed and replaced with Juca Pereira, which progressively recalled some of the suspended players. The damage, however, was already done, and Portugal would not qualify again for an international competition until Euro 96. History repeats itself The next time Portugal would play in the World Cup, in 2002, saw many parallels to the country's experience in 1986: The previous European Championship also saw a strong result by Portugal—in Euro 2000, Portugal again reached the semifinals, where they were again beaten by France in extra time. Although Portugal had less trouble qualifying in 2002, finishing atop their qualifying group, they suffered a similar compromising result during pre-World Cup friendlies, being thumped 4–1 in Porto by Finland. As in 1986, a player on the original World Cup roster was suspended for doping, this time Daniel Kenedy. Shopping sprees by players, this time in Macau, were also widely reported in the Portuguese press. The 2002 preparation also saw questionable managing choices and some amateurism, including the same lack of agreement on prizes .Like in 1986, Portugal and its last group rival (South Korea this time) only needed to draw in order to both accomplish qualification to the knockout round. Portugal lost 1-0 and was eliminated The end result in Korea/Japan was the same as in Mexico—Portugal failed to go through the group stages. Since 1986, the word Saltillo has become synonymous with poor management at the higher levels of Portuguese football.

FunFair - A Game Changer for 2018. An in-depth analysis.

FunFair. An in-depth analysis.

FunFair is a decentralised gaming technology platform which uses the Ethereum blockchain, smart contracts, and proprietary state channels to deliver casino solutions with games that are fun, fast and fair.
FunFair is not a casino. Instead, FunFair will license its technology out to casino operators. This differentiates FunFair from the competition in the blockchain gambling sphere – being a casino carries with it risks and burdens stemming from statutory and regulatory hurdles. Being a licensing entity instead, provides legal safeguards and will enable a more widely used platform.
I’d like to touch on the many aspects of FunFair that makes it an extremely promising and undervalued project. However, I won’t be making any price projections. As always, do your own research. In this case, I’ve done a lot of it for you.
The market.
Online gambling is a large market: currently over 47.1 billion dollars, and projected to continue increasing. https://www.statista.com/statistics/270728/market-volume-of-online-gaming-worldwide/.
The problem and the solution.
Trust. Traditional online casinos rely on you trusting them to be fair. The chance of red coming up on roulette is 48.65%. How do you know your traditional online casino is giving you those odds? You don’t – you need to trust them. Most online casinos are incorporated in island microstates. Do those nations have online casino regulators? Do they possess the willingness, manpower, and expertise to audit online casinos?
FunFair puts the gambling on the blockchain so it’s trustless – you know you have a 48.65% chance of having red come up. It’s fair.
The team.
FunFair has their ground covered and bases loaded. With their team of 30+ professionals they are way ahead of the competition. You may know CEO Jez San, OBE, from his career track: Argonaut Games (founder), Star Fox (programmer), and PKR Poker (founder). He has been in the gaming industry for more than two decades, and has built valuable relationships along the way. Constantly engaging with the FunFair community through Telegram, Discord, and Reddit, it seems as though he leaves no engaging question unanswered. Alongside Jez as COO is David Greyling (https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidgreyling/), former International Director of William Hill, one of the world’s leading betting and gaming companies and one of the most trusted brands in the industry. (https://www.williamhillplc.com/about/).
Further, FunFair is looking to expand – and fast. They expect to have a team of 50+ people in the not-so-distant future, as they are currently hiring business and marketing professionals. So, if you’re looking for an opportunity to showcase your expertise in these fields, try your shot at securing a position within the company! (https://www.funfair.io/careers) The FunFair team’s base of operations is in London, UK.
The platform.
FunFair presents its casino operators and players with a gaming opportunity never seen before:
FunFair is preparing for mass adoption and has a working solution for Ethereum network congestion. Fate Channels.
For more discussion both technical and company related, have a look at both whitepapers: https://funfair.io/explore/whitepapers/
The games.
FunFair is pursuing a full suite of traditional casino games:
You can test all of these games at https://showcase.funfair.io/. Some are currently testable on the Ethereum testnet.
FunFair is one of the only projects in the cryptocurrency space that has a working product. They are set to launch in the beginning of Q2 of 2018.
What have they been up to? Are they on track?
Consistently ahead of schedule and on top of their roadmap in many ways, FunFair was a sponsor of DevCon 3 and had one of the most engaged-with booth setups. They connected and networked positively with many developers at the event. https://twitter.com/FunFairTech/status/926113230677856256
They’ve recently received the Malta iGaming award for “Best ICO of 2017” which was determined by a nomination panel of 5 industry experts, and a panel of 32 judges with many years of combined experience in gaming. The awards were hosted during Malta Gaming Week; a very large event attended by many business executives, authorities, and even local government: http://maltagamingweek.com/
They’ve been constantly updating their product showcase, and adhere to all feedback received by community members. Their new showcase was designed to “be able to cope with adding more games easily by the team + third parties, and also to be configurable by casino operators.” Some of their product update can be found here: https://funfair.io/awards-latest-product-update/
How does the token (FUN) derive value?
The technology will be licensed to casino operators for free or at extremely low cost – itself a major draw.
FunFair does not issue dividends or offer profit sharing – FunFair has no profit to share. The technology will be licensed to casino operators for free – itself a major draw for existing casino operators to adopt the FunFair platform. FunFair does not take a cut of the profits from any of the casino operators – they’re free to keep all profits to themselves. With a fixed supply, the value in FUN is derived from scarcity of the token in the marketplace. Scarcity comes from four sources:
That first scarcity factor will be key, as casinos will need large bankrolls of FUN to operate a large casino with multiple games and high max bets. Think about it this way: if a casino has a roulette table with 1 seat, and a 5000 FUN bet limit, it will need to be armed with at least 175,000 FUN to let a player come by and spin the wheel (5000 max bet * 35, the max payout on roulette of a single number hitting).
Plans for the future & the latest company update .
Q1:
In January we will be submitting to the UK Gambling Commission our application for a Remote Gambling Software License.
In February we will be attending ICE Gaming, an international B2B conferencing event, where we will be introducing the FunFair brand to the gaming industry.
By the end of March V1 of the FunFair blockchain casino nears completion. This release will allow for real FUN to be used on the Main Ethereum Network for the first time.
Q2:
Operator On-Boarding: Deploying the FunFair casino in partnership with a friendly operator; objective: learn, adapt & iterate the technology as part of a soft launch.
Further product enhancements and features will continue to be worked on and, as we scale, we expect to introduce more regular product releases.
Engaging with 3rd party game developers, publishing API documentation and sample games and contracts.
Q3-4:
Product feature enhancements and further operator on-boarding. Comprehensive operator reporting and administration tools.
Full update: https://funfair.io/company-update-december-2017/
So, if you’ve read this far, you can now see how professional and enlightening this team has been with their project. I believe that within the following months, FunFair will show us exactly why they are one of the best projects in the cryptocurrency space right now and beyond.
TL;DR - Licensor of provably fair blockchain casino technology. Professional team of 30+ employees, full transparency in company actions and initiatives, proprietary technology that is near-ready for mass adoption, consistently on-track with road map. They have tackled a problem head-on with the gambling industry, and are ready to provide their solution. Strong community of both members and developers.

V. Summer Reading Group Discussion - Epilogue

EPILOGUE
1919
V.
​
____________________________________________________________________
I
Conversations between Sidney Stencil and Mehemet the master of H.M.S. Egmont | the inconstant Fortune | what has changed and what remains unchanged of the earth, the society as a ship and its aging sailors | the tale of Mara | an undocumented part of Fausto Maijistral | and the reappearance of Veronica Manganese
​
HMS Egmont docked at Malta's harbour, and as the workers unloaded the cargoes, Stencil and Mehemet were having a conversation.
The master seafarer warned Stencil that were the sea to have a heart, its heart would be Malta, with beating pulses luring him away from the hush of the sea, its great silence. Yet this deceptive lull is not something to be trusted: for Fortune waxes and wanes inconstant, and so is Malta.
Armistice has been signed, soon to follow by Treaty of Versailles, but even as the wave of relief swept over the streets and even the usually sober Whitehall, Stencil, the tight-rope-walking man-of-politics, with his Stoic delusion of no safety ever at all anywhere, especially “on this shore,” remained dour, which passed for high celebration enough.
We learn that there was currently "an architecture of discontent" in Malta. Stencil thought about the change of time, and the falling out of virtù, its followers like his friend Porpertine, Mizzi, and himself, who “Belonged to a time where which side a man was on didn't matter: only the state of opposition itself, the tests of virtue, the cricket game? Stencil may have come in on the tail end.”
“It is perhaps a delusion - say a convenience - necessary to our line of work. But more honorable surely than this loathsome weakness of retreat into dreams: pastel visions of disarmament, a League, a universal law. Ten million dead. Gas. Passchendaele. Let that be now a large figure, now a chemical formula, now an historical account. But dear lord, not the Nameless Horror, the sudden prodigy sprung on a world unaware. We all saw it. There was no innovation, no special breach of nature, or suspension of familiar principles. If it came as any surprise to the public then their own blindness is the Great Tragedy, hardly the war itself.”
Something new, different, and terrible has come as a replacement for the repetition of wars as history like the “old campaigners” had clung onto. As for other like Mehemet, yet another implied time-traveler, it is a displacement, a home stolen, “a world taken from him,” only the nostalgia that occasionally rises along the nightly hashish… Stencil’s politic for him is but a shrug, a “noisy attempts to devise political happiness.”
A storm has passed over the Damascus plum-colored sea one evening. An old, damaged felucca called the Peri was on the sea without its crew. Only one Tuareg-speaking fellahin remained, absorbed in his task of painting the side of the boat in something like a deck-grey color. Mehemet's ship passed by, and he watched the boat and the fellah shrunk slowly into the distance.
Later on, the conversations between Stencil and Mehemet resumed. A discourse on changes ("The only change is toward death," sez Mehemet), society as “the Peri,” war as “Armageddon,” “a new and rare disease which has now been cured and conquered for ever." (according to the public), and the fate of the Earth:
“The Armageddon had swept past, the professionals who'd survived had received no blessing, no gift of tongues. Despite all attempts to cut its career short the tough old earth would take its own time in dying and would die of old age.”
Here we learnt of the tale of Mara through Mehemet. She was a minor saint, “a quaint, hermaphrodite sort of deity” who was captured by the Turks. All tied up to a ship’s bow like a figurehead, she was brought into Constantinople to be a part of the Sultan’s harem, where she proceeded to “raise hell,” drove eunuchs and concubines mad with lust, “detached” the Sultan’s head and sent it across ocean to Malta, and thus, helped La Vallette and the Knights, previously on the verge of defeat in The Great Siege, emerge victorious. But as a divine retribution or a price to pay for putting on such a show, she was confined as a guardian spirit in Xaghret Mewwija. But even there, warned Mehemet, she remained restless, still waiting for a chance to reach out.
Stencil, parting from Mehemet and back to his hotel, sang himself a little tune from his pre-war “music-hall” days as he relaxed in the bathtub. The tune narrated the becoming-father of Stencil, gay and expectant, renouncing his party life to go back home for his “bouncing baby boy” Herbert Stencil.
This short reminiscence didn’t last long. Maijistral came in and we eventually learn that he has been keeping Stencil updated as an informer, keeping an eye for all activities of dockyard workers, many of them Maijistral’s friends. Stencil, fearing a double standard, followed Maijistral as he left, encountered his old friend Demivolt on the way. We found out that Stencil was not Maijistral’s only employer: another was Veronica Manganese.
The target has changed: Stencil and Demivolt were at Manganese’s tail all the way to her Villa. In the near-darkness of Malta’s night making their way around the place, Stencil felt the tug of nostalgia and an “approaching second childhood,” “a childhood of gingerbread witches, enchanted parks, fantasy country.” Up until they were caught dead-on by a figure with a lantern, “a caretaker” with a face grotesque enough to give the veteran Stencil a mild shock, but what more shocking was that he seemed to know who Stencil are. In a dismayed tone, the figure asked England, or Stencil’s employer, to leave him and Manganese alone.
After that Demivolt said, "there is a tremendous nostalgia about this show. Do you feel it? The pain of a return home."
Stencil having realized this was not the first encounter between him and Manganese, expected to see her again soon.
​

II
Stencil and Demivolt’s speculation about the missing catalyst of the unrest | Father Fairing’s digression and exile | the plea of Carla Maijstral | the death of Dupiro the spy | V. showed herself
​
As dockyard workers were drummed up by both Bolshevists and Mizzists to their own purposes, the tension and civil discontent at the government swelled up in Malta’s “false spring,” just like Carla Maijistral’s belly, but the moments for both were yet ripen.
Meanwhile, Stencil and Fairing were still seizing up each other through their exchanges. Stencil was interested only in information and clear-eyed reportings, but Fairing remained coy and elusive. It’s worth noting this: “Father Fairing, S.J., after stating that anything that tugs in the direction of anarchism is anti-Christian in protestation to Stencil's views on “Paracletian Politics”… goes on to say: "The Church has matured, after all. Like a young person she has passed from promiscuity to authority. You are nearly two millenia out-of-date."
Stencil passed over Veronica Manganese, on her way out after praying at the altar: his spy sense tingling: Fairing, Maijistral, double agents, connections between Manganese and Italian higher echelon, and even British F. O. His musing continued about history, as a “… record of an evolution. One-way and ongoing. Monuments, buildings, plaques were remembrances only; but in Valletta remembrances seemed almost to live.”
Up until “One of Those Days” Stencil learned of Fairing’s displacement to America. Fairing assured him: “There’s no conflict of interests.”
As Stencil and Demivolt contemplated on theirs being old, as “brothers in exile," the “Situation” was up another notch: came in Carla Maijistral, informed by Fairing, begging Stencil to ‘release’ her husband Fausto from whatever “occupation” he was involved. To this Stencil remained uncertain, “The Situation is always bigger than you, Sidney. It has like God its own logic and its own justification for being, and the best you can do is cope.”… What are real are the cross-purposes.”
As Stencil began to think about “Is there a way out?”, the news about the gruesome death of Dupiro the ragman, the spy he installed at V.’s villa, hit his office. Stencil discovered the V./Manganese’s connection between I Banditti, D'Annunzio, and Mussolini. The living present of history here in Malta shed its guise as “a civilized affair,” like “the tide” threatening to carry Stencil into confronting forces no one could know.
At Fairing’s church, La Manganese stepped up at long last to greet Stencil in a familiar voice, and off they went to her villa.
Again Stencil and V. found one another, “To enter, hand in hand, the hothouse of a Florentine spring once again; to be fayed and filleted hermetically into a square (interior? exterior?) where all art objects hover between inertia and waking, all shadows lengthen imperceptibly though night never falls, a total nostalgic hush rests on the heart's landscape. And all faces are blank masks; and spring is any drawn-out sense of exhaustion or a summer which like evening never comes.”
We soon know that V. and Stencil were on the same side, having same purpose: "to keep Italy out of Malta.” One way or another, but with different means. From Stencil’s perspective, the method of V. was "Absolute upheaval,"… “Hysterical girl,” “Riot was her element,” “The street and the hothouse; in V. were resolved, by some magic, the two extremes. She frightened him.”
Somehow, for Stencil and perhaps Victoria, aside from her pushing forty with “a body less alive,” she was “same balloon-girl who'd seduced him on a leather couch in the Florence consulate twenty years ago.”
Later, as V.’s caretaker drove Stencil back to his place, the caretaker turned out to be Evan Godolphin.
​

III
Maijstral’s affair with V. | Stencil’s “last burst of duplicity and virtù” | the June Disturbances | and the death of Sidney Stencil
​
With events shaping themselves “for June and the coming Assembly,” knee-deep in the webs of relationships with Mehemet, Demivolt, Fairing, 2 Maijistral and most of all in the “treacherous pasture” of Malta. Stencil slipped further into a progressive melancholy.
Nostalgia was the only comfort, and “Veronica was kind.” The time they spent together were emptied out of appointments, secrets, whispers, nothing but a resume, or a reenact of their hothouse days.
Stencil thought in macro-politic scale: “There were no more princes. Henceforth politics would become progressively more democratized, more thrown into the hands of amateurs. The disease would progress. Stencil was nearly past caring.” Yet a thought of his son Herbert rekindled the humanity left in him. He promised hastily that he would do everything he could for Fausto’s safety.
The next evening, once again in V.’s drawing room, Maijistral discovered the acquaintance between V. and Stencil for the first time, to his confusion. Here Stencil, in his “last burst of duplicity and virtù” fulfilled his promise to Carla by retiring Maijistral from V.’s service forever.
June Disturbances happened, now known only as “A minor eddy in the peaceful course of Maltrese government,” with its main question – the autonomy of Malta – at that time yet to be resolved.
On Mehemet’s xebec this time, now it was Stencil’s turn to depart from the stage. “No one had come to see him off.” Except as the ship passed Fort St. Elmo, there was the mutilated face of the caretaker gazing at the ship, hand waved in curious motions both sentimental and feminine.
“Draw a line from Malta to Lampedusa. Call it a radius. Somewhere in that circle, on the evening of the tenth, a waterspout appeared and lasted for fifteen minutes. Long enough to lift the xebec fifty feet, whirling, and creaking, Astarte's throat naked to the cloudless weather, and slam it down again into a piece of the Mediterranean whose subsequent surface phenomena - whitecaps, kelp islands, any of a million flatnesses which should catch thereafter part of the brute sun's spectrum-showed nothing at all of what came to lie beneath, that quiet June day.”

TRIVIA:
“Salaam aleikums” is the Arabic equivalent of "Peace be upon you".Mehemet is an alternative version of Muhammad, which means “phraiseworthy’ or "one who praises"
Mara, Juno, Hera, Astarte, Ishtar, Venus, Dellimara (quite an interesting article)
Among many of her symbols, there are “the crescent moon (or horns),” and “a star within a circle indicating the planet Venus.” ~ connection between morning star Sirius and Venus. “Astarte ties together fertility, sexuality, and war. She goes by the name of ʻAštārōṯ in Jewish myth as a female demon of lust.” ~ succubus Worshiped and celebrated by the ancient Levant among the Canaanites and Phoenicians, we see Mehemet talked about his feeling of Malta, understandably, in Levantine tongue.
Carob tree “Ceratonia, keration (Greek), keras, "horn" and refers to the fruit of the carob.” ~ V.

QUESTIONS:
(1) Please share your theories about the identities of V.
(2) Do you feel that all evidences demonstrated here are sufficient enough to convince you that V. was H. Stencil’s mother?
(3) What is your impression about Stencil’s thoughts on virtù, Right, Left, Moderate, man-of-no-politics, the Golden Mean, the street and the hothouse, and his Paracletian politics? (the transformations of politics)
(4) If the tale of Mara is a cautionary tale, what might be the lesson, aside from ‘never mess with evil’? (the transformations of gods/divinity)
(5) What did Fairing mean by “The Church has matured,” “… from promiscuity to authority” (the transformation of Christianity/the church)
(6) What is "the Nameless Horror, the sudden prodigy sprung on a world unaware. "?
(7) What is the role of the reversions of sexes? Do you think there’re common personality traits between the transvestite Weissmann and Victoria Wren with her fetishism? (a dangerous tendency)
(8) “But she was a teacher of love after all. Only pupils of love need to be beautiful.” What do you make of this sentence? Do you think the definitions of ‘love’ and ‘beauty’ here are reflected in the teaching of ‘the bad priest’?
(9) What do you make of Stencil’s dream of getting lost in a brain?
(10) What sort of ‘compasses’ do you think guided V. in all of her actions?
(11) Do you think Pynchon doesn’t like spring as a season? I mean “false spring” here, “reversal of spring” in Namibia chapter…
(12) Are you satisfied?

An extensive guide for cashing out bitcoin and cryptocurrencies into private banks

Hey guys.
Merry Xmas !
I am coming back to you with a follow up post, as I have helped many people cash out this year and I have streamlined the process. After my original post, I received many requests to be more specific and provide more details. I thought that after the amazing rally we have been attending over the last few months, and the volatility of the last few days, it would be interesting to revisit more extensively.
The attitude of banks around crypto is changing slowly, but it is still a tough stance. For the first partial cash out I operated around a year ago for a client, it took me months to find a bank. They wouldn’t want to even consider the case and we had to knock at each and every door. Despite all my contacts it was very difficult back in the days. This has changed now, and banks have started to open their doors, but there is a process, a set of best practices and codes one has to follow.
I often get requests from crypto guys who are very privacy-oriented, and it takes me months to have them understand that I am bound by Swiss law on banking secrecy, and I am their ally in this onboarding process. It’s funny how I have to convince people that banks are legit, while on the other side, banks ask me to show that crypto millionaires are legit. I have a solid background in both banking and in crypto so I manage to make the bridge, but yeah sometimes it is tough to reconcile the two worlds. I am a crypto enthusiast myself and I can say that after years of work in the banking industry I have grown disillusioned towards banks as well, like many of you. Still an account in a Private bank is convenient and powerful. So let’s get started.
There are two different aspects to your onboarding in a Swiss Private bank, compliance-wise.
*The origin of your crypto wealth
*Your background (residence, citizenship and probity)
These two aspects must be documented in-depth.
How to document your crypto wealth. Each new crypto millionaire has a different story. I may detail a few fun stories later in this post, but at the end of the day, most of crypto rich I have met can be categorized within the following profiles: the miner, the early adopter, the trader, the corporate entity, the black market, the libertarian/OTC buyer. The real question is how you prove your wealth is legit.
1. Context around the original amount/investment Generally speaking, your first crypto purchase may not be documented. But the context around this acquisition can be. I have had many cases where the original amount was bought through Mtgox, and no proof of purchase could be provided, nor could be documented any Mtgox claim. That’s perfectly fine. At some point Mtgox amounted 70% of the bitcoin transactions globally, and people who bought there and managed to withdraw and keep hold of their bitcoins do not have any Mtgox claim. This is absolutely fine. However, if you can show me the record of a wire from your bank to Tisbane (Mtgox's parent company) it's a great way to start.
Otherwise, what I am trying to document here is the following: I need context. If you made your first purchase by saving from summer jobs, show me a payroll. Even if it was USD 2k. If you acquired your first bitcoins from mining, show me the bills of your mining equipment from 2012 or if it was through a pool mine, give me your slushpool account ref for instance. If you were given bitcoin against a service you charged, show me an invoice.
2. Tracking your wealth until today and making sense of it. What I have been doing over the last few months was basically educating compliance officers. Thanks God, the blockchain is a global digital ledger! I have been telling my auditors and compliance officers they have the best tool at their disposal to lead a proper investigation. Whether you like it or not, your wealth can be tracked, from address to address. You may have thought all along this was a bad feature, but I am telling you, if you want to cash out, in the context of Private Banking onboarding, tracking your wealth through the block explorer is a boon. We can see the inflows, outflows. We can see the age behind an address. An early adopter who bought 1000 BTC in 2010, and let his bitcoin behind one address and held thus far is legit, whether or not he has a proof of purchase to show. That’s just common sense. My job is to explain that to the banks in a language they understand.
Let’s have a look at a few examples and how to document the few profiles I mentioned earlier.
The trader. I love traders. These are easy cases. I have a ton of respect for them. Being a trader myself in investment banks for a decade earlier in my career has taught me that controlling one’s emotions and having the discipline to impose oneself some proper risk management system is really really hard. Further, being able to avoid the exchange bankruptcy and hacks throughout crypto history is outstanding. It shows real survival instinct, or just plain blissed ignorance. In any cases traders at exchange are easy cases to corroborate since their whole track record is potentially available. Some traders I have met have automated their trading and have shown me more than 500k trades done over the span of 4 years. Obviously in this kind of scenario I don’t show everything to the bank to avoid information overload, and prefer to do some snacking here and there. My strategy is to show the early trades, the most profitable ones, explain the trading strategy and (partially expose) the situation as of now with id pages of the exchanges and current balance. Many traders have become insensitive to the risk of parking their crypto at exchange as they want to be able to trade or to grasp an occasion any minute, so they generally do not secure a substantial portion on the blockchain which tends to make me very nervous.
The early adopter. Provided that he has not mixed his coin, the early adopter or “hodler” is not a difficult case either. Who cares how you bought your first 10k btc if you bought them below 3$ ? Even if you do not have a purchase proof, I would generally manage to find ways. We just have to corroborate the original 30’000 USD investment in this case. I mainly focus on three things here:
*proof of early adoption I have managed to educate some banks on a few evidences specifically related to crypto markets. For instance with me, an old bitcointalk account can serve as a proof of early adoption. Even an old reddit post from a few years ago where you say how much you despise this Ripple premined scam can prove to be a treasure readily available to show you were early.
*story telling Compliance officers like to know when, why and how. They are human being looking for simple answers to simple questions and they don’t want like to be played fool. Telling the truth, even without a proof can do wonders, and even though bluffing might still work because banks don’t fully understand bitcoin yet, it is a risky strategy that is less and less likely to pay off as they are getting more sophisticated by the day.
*micro transaction from an old address you control This is the killer feature. Send a $20 worth transaction from an old address to my company wallet and to one of my partner bank’s wallet and you are all set ! This is gold and considered a very solid piece of evidence. You can also do a microtransaction to your own wallet, but banks generally prefer transfer to their own wallet. Patience with them please. they are still learning.
*signature message Why do a micro transaction when you can sign a message and avoid potentially tainting your coins ?
*ICO millionaire Some clients made their wealth participating in ETH crowdsale or IOTA ICO. They were very easy to deal with obviously and the account opening was very smooth since we could evidence the GENESIS TxHash flow.
The miner Not so easy to proof the wealth is legit in that case. Most early miners never took screenshot of the blocks on bitcoin core, nor did they note down the block number of each block they mined. Until the the Slashdot article from August 2010 anyone could mine on his laptop, let his computer run overnight and wake up to a freshly minted block containing 50 bitcoins back in the days. Not many people were structured enough to store and secure these coins, avoid malwares while syncing the blockchain continuously, let alone document the mined blocks in the process. What was 50 BTC worth really for the early miners ? dust of dollars, games and magic cards… Even miners post 2010 are generally difficult to deal with in terms of compliance onboarding. Many pool mining are long dead. Deepbit is down for instance and the founders are MIA. So my strategy to proof mining activity is as follow:
*Focusing on IT background whenever possible. An IT background does help a lot to bring some substance to the fact you had the technical ability to operate a mining rig.
*Showing mining equipment receipts. If you mined on your own you must have bought the hardware to do so. For instance mining equipment receipts from butterfly lab from 2012-2013 could help document your case. Similarly, high electricity bill from your household on a consistent basis back in the day could help. I have already unlocked a tricky case in the past with such documents when the bank was doubtful.
*Wallet.dat files with block mining transactions from 2011 thereafter This obviously is a fantastic piece of evidence for both you and me if you have an old wallet and if you control an address that received original mined blocks, (even if the wallet is now empty). I will make sure compliance officers understand what it means, and as for the early adopter, you can prove your control over these wallet through a microtransaction. With these kind of addresses, I can show on the block explorer the mined block rewards hitting at regular time interval, and I can even spot when difficulty level increased or when halvening process happened.
*Poolmining account. Here again I have educated my partner bank to understand that a slush account opened in 2013 or an OnionTip presence was enough to corroborate mining activity. The block explorer then helps me to do the bridge with your current wallet.
*Describing your set up and putting it in context In the history of mining we had CPU, GPU, FPG and ASICs mining. I will describe your technical set up and explain why and how your set up was competitive at that time.
The corporate entity Remember 2012 when we were all convinced bitcoin would take over the world, and soon everyone would pay his coffee in bitcoin? How naïve we were to think transaction fees would remain low forever. I don’t blame bitcoin cash supporters; I once shared this dream as well. Remember when we thought global adoption was right around the corner and some brick and mortar would soon accept bitcoin transaction as a common mean of payment? Well, some shop actually did accept payment and held. I had a few cases as such of shops holders, who made it to the multi million mark holding and had invoices or receipts to proof the transactions. If you are organized enough to keep a record for these trades and are willing to cooperate for the documentation, you are making your life easy. The digital advertising business is also a big market for the bitcoin industry, and affiliates partner compensated in btc are common. It is good to show an invoice, it is better to show a contract. If you do not have a contract (which is common since all advertising deals are about ticking a check box on the website to accept terms and conditions), there are ways around that. If you are in that case, pm me.
The black market Sorry guys, I can’t do much for you officially. Not that I am judging you. I am a libertarian myself. It’s just already very difficult to onboard legit btc adopters, so the black market is a market I cannot afford to consider. My company is regulated so KYC and compliance are key for me if I want to stay in business. Behind each case I push forward I am risking the credibility and reputation I have built over the years. So I am sorry guys I am not risking it to make an extra buck. Your best hope is that crypto will eventually take over the world and you won’t need to cash out anyway. Or go find a Lithuanian bank that is light on compliance and cooperative.
The OTC buyer and the libertarian. Generally a very difficult case. If you bought your stack during your journey in Japan 5 years ago to a guy you never met again; or if you accumulated on https://localbitcoins.com/ and kept no record or lost your account, it is going to be difficult. Not impossible but difficult. We will try to build a case with everything else we have, and I may be able to onboard you. However I am risking a lot here so I need to be 100% confident you are legit, before I defend you. Come & see me in Geneva, and we will talk. I will run forensic services like elliptic, chainalysis, or scorechain on an extract of your wallet. If this scan does not raise too many red flags, then maybe we can work together ! If you mixed your coins all along your crypto history, and shredded your seeds because you were paranoid, or if you made your wealth mining professionally monero over the last 3 years but never opened an account at an exchange. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I am not a magician and don’t get me wrong, I love monero, it’s not the point.
Cashing out ICOs Private companies or foundations who have ran an ICO generally have a very hard time opening a bank account. The few banks that accept such projects would generally look at 4 criteria:
*Seriousness of the project Extensive study of the whitepaper to limit the reputation risk
*AML of the onboarding process ICOs 1.0 have no chance basically if a background check of the investors has not been conducted
*Structure of the moral entity List of signatories, certificate of incumbency, work contract, premises...
*Fiscal conformity Did the company informed the authorities and seek a fiscal ruling.
For the record, I am not into the tax avoidance business, so people come to me with a set up and I see if I can make it work within the legal framework imposed to me.
First, stop thinking Switzerland is a “offshore heaven” Swiss banks have made deals with many governments for the exchange of fiscal information. If you are a French citizen, resident in France and want to open an account in a Private Bank in Switzerland to cash out your bitcoins, you will get slaughtered (>60%). There are ways around that, and I could refer you to good tax specialists for fiscal optimization, but I cannot organize it myself. It would be illegal for me. Swiss private banks makes it easy for you to keep a good your relation with your retail bank and continue paying your bills without headaches. They are integrated to SEPA, provide ebanking and credit cards.
For information, these are the kind of set up some of my clients came up with. It’s all legal; obviously I do not onboard clients that are not tax compliant. Further disclaimer: I did not contribute myself to these set up. Do not ask me to organize it for you. I won’t.
EU tricks
Swiss lump sum taxation Foreign nationals resident in Switzerland can be taxed on a lump-sum basis if they are not gainfully employed in our country. Under the lump-sum tax regime, foreign nationals taking residence in Switzerland may choose to pay an expense-based tax instead of ordinary income and wealth tax. Attractive cantons for the lump sum taxation are Zug, Vaud, Valais, Grisons, Lucerne and Berne. To make it short, you will be paying somewhere between 200 and 400k a year and all expenses will be deductible.
Switzerland has adopted a very friendly attitude towards crypto currency in general. There is a whole crypto valley in Zug now. 30% of ICOs are operated in Switzerland. The reason is that Switzerland has thrived for centuries on banking secrecy, and today with FATCA and exchange of fiscal info with EU, banking secrecy is dead. Regulators in Switzerland have understood that digital ledger technologies were a way to roll over this competitive advantage for the generations to come. Switzerland does not tax capital gains on crypto profits. The Finma has a very pragmatic approach. They have issued guidance- updated guidelines here. They let the business get organized and operate their analysis on a case per case basis. Only after getting a deep understanding of the market will they issue a global fintech license in 2019. This approach is much more realistic than legislations which try to regulate everything beforehand.
Italy new tax exemption. It’s a brand new fiscal exemption. Go to Aoste, get residency and you could be taxed a 100k/year for 10years. Yes, really.
Portugal What’s crazy in Europe is the lack of fiscal harmonization. Even if no one in Brussels dares admit it, every other country is doing fiscal dumping. Portugal is such a country and has proved very friendly fiscally speaking. I personally have a hard time trusting Europe. I have witnessed what happened in Greece over the last few years. Some of our ultra high net worth clients got stuck with capital controls. I mean no way you got out of crypto to have your funds confiscated at the next financial crisis! Anyway. FYI
Malta Generally speaking, if you get a residence somewhere you have to live there for a certain period of time. Being stuck in Italy is no big deal with Schengen Agreement, but in Malta it is a different story. In Malta, the ordinary residence scheme is more attractive than the HNWI residence scheme. Being an individual, you can hold a residence permit under this scheme and pay zero income tax in Malta in a completely legal way.
Monaco Not suitable for French citizens, but for other Ultra High Net worth individual, Monaco is worth considering. You need an account at a local bank as a proof of fortune, and this account generally has to be seeded with at least EUR500k. You also need a proof of residence. I do mean UHNI because if you don’t cash out minimum 30m it’s not interesting. Everything is expensive in Monaco. Real Estate is EUR 50k per square meter. A breakfast at Monte Carlo Bay hotel is 70 EUR. Monaco is sunny but sometimes it feels like a golden jail. Do you really want that for your kids?
Dubaï
  1. Set up a company in Dubaï, get your resident card.
  2. Spend one day every 6 month there
  3. ???
  4. Be tax free
US tricks Some Private banks in Geneva do have the license to manage the assets of US persons and U.S citizens. However, do not think it is a way to avoid paying taxes in the US. Opening an account at an authorized Swiss Private banks is literally the same tax-wise as opening an account at Fidelity or at Bank of America in the US. The only difference is that you will avoid all the horror stories. Horror stories are all real by the way. In Switzerland, if you build a decent case and answer all the questions and corroborate your case in depth, you will manage to convince compliance officers beforehand. When the money eventually hits your account, it is actually available and not frozen.
The IRS and FATCA require to file FBAR if an offshore account is open. However FBAR is a reporting requirement and does not have taxes related to holding an account outside the US. The taxes would be the same if the account was in the US. However penalties for non compliance with FBAR are very large. The tax liability management is actually performed through the management of the assets ( for exemple by maximizing long term capital gains and minimizing short term gains).
The case for Porto Rico. Full disclaimer here. I am not encouraging this. Have not collaborated on such tax avoidance schemes. if you are interested I strongly encourage you to seek a tax advisor and get a legal opinion. I am not responsible for anything written below. I am not going to say much because I am so afraid of uncle Sam that I prefer to humbly pass the hot potato to pwc From here all it takes is a good advisor and some creativity to be tax free on your crypto wealth if you are a US person apparently. Please, please please don’t ask me more. And read the disclaimer again.
Trust tricks Generally speaking I do not accept fringe fiscal situation because it puts me in a difficult situation to the banks I work with, and it is already difficult enough to defend a legit crypto case. Trust might be a way to optimize your fiscal situation. Belize. Bahamas. Seychelles. Panama, You name it. At the end of the day, what matters for Swiss Banks are the beneficial owner and the settlor. Get a legal opinion, get it done, and when you eventually knock at a private bank’s door, don’t say it was for fiscal avoidance you stupid ! You will get the door smashed upon you. Be smarter. It will work. My advice is just to have it done by a great tax specialist lawyer, even if it costs you some money, as the entity itself needs to be structured in a professional way. Remember that with trust you are dispossessing yourself off your wealth. Not something to be taken lightly.
“Anonymous” cash out. Right. I think I am not going into this topic, neither expose the ways to get it done. Pm me for details. I already feel a bit uncomfortable with all the info I have provided. I am just going to mention many people fear that crypto exchange might become reporting entities soon, and rightly so. This might happen anyday. You have been warned. FYI, this only works for non-US and large cash out.
The difference between traders an investors. Danmark, Holland and Germany all make a huge difference if you are a passive investor or if you are a trader. ICO is considered investing for instance and is not taxed, while trading might be considered as income and charged aggressively. I would try my best to protect you and put a focus on your investor profile whenever possible, so you don't have to pay 52% tax if you do not have to :D
Full cash out or partial cash out? People who have been sitting on crypto for long have grown an emotional and irrational link with their coins. They come to me and say, look, I have 50m in crypto but I would like to cash out 500k only. So first let me tell you that as a wealth manager my advice to you is to take some off the table. Doing a partial cash out is absolutely fine. The market is bullish. We are witnessing a redistribution of wealth at a global scale. Bitcoin is the real #occupywallstreet, and every one will discuss crypto at Xmas eve which will make the market even more supportive beginning 2018, especially with all hedge funds entering the scene. If you want to stay exposed to bitcoin and altcoins, and believe these techs will change the world, it’s just natural you want to keep some coins. In the meantime, if you have lived off pizzas over the last years, and have the means to now buy yourself an nice house and have an account at a private bank, then f***ing do it mate ! Buy physical gold with this account, buy real estate, have some cash at hands. Even though US dollar is worthless to your eyes, it’s good and convenient to have some. Also remember your wife deserves it ! And if you have no wife yet and you are socially awkward like the rest of us, then maybe cashing out partially will help your situation ;)
What the Private Banks expect. Joke aside, it is important you understand something. If you come around in Zurich to open a bank account and partially cash out, just don’t expect Private Banks will make an exception for you if you are small. You can’t ask them to facilitate your cash out, buy a 1m apartment with the proceeds of the sale, and not leave anything on your current account. It won’t work. Sadly, under 5m you are considered small in private banking. The bank is ok to let you open an account, provided that your kyc and compliance file are validated, but they will also want you to become a client and leave some money there to invest. This might me despicable, but I am just explaining you their rules. If you want to cash out, you should sell enough to be comfortable and have some left. Also expect the account opening to last at least 3-4 week if everything goes well. You can't just open an account overnight.
The cash out logistics. Cashing out 1m USD a day in bitcoin or more is not so hard.
Let me just tell you this: Even if you get a Tier 4 account with Kraken and ask Alejandro there to raise your limit over $100k per day, Even if you have a bitfinex account and you are willing to expose your wealth there, Even if you have managed to pass all the crazy due diligence at Bitstamp,
The amount should be fractioned to avoid risking your full wealth on exchange and getting slaughtered on the price by trading big quantities. Cashing out involves significant risks at all time. There is a security risk of compromising your keys, a counterparty risk, a fat finger risk. Let it be done by professionals. It is worth every single penny.
Most importantly, there is a major difference between trading on an exchange and trading OTC. Even though it’s not publicly disclosed some exchange like Kraken do have OTC desks. Trading on an exchange for a large amount will weight on the prices. Bitcoin is a thin market. In my opinion over 30% of the coins are lost in translation forever. Selling $10m on an exchange in a day can weight on the prices more than you’d think. And if you trade on a exchange, everything is shown on record, and you might wipe out the prices because on exchanges like bitstamp or kraken ultimately your counterparties are retail investors and the market depth is not huge. It is a bit better on Bitfinex. It is way better to trade OTC. Accessing the institutional OTC market is not easy, and that is also the reason why you should ask a regulated financial intermediary if we are talking about huge amounts.
Last point, always chose EUR as opposed to USD. EU correspondent banks won’t generally block institutional amounts. However we had the cases of USD funds frozen or delayed by weeks.
Most well-known OTC desks are Cumberlandmining (ask for Lucas), Genesis (ask for Martin), Bitcoin Suisse AG (ask for Niklas), circletrade, B2C2, or Altcoinomy (ask for Olivier)
Very very large whales can also set up escrow accounts for massive block trades. This world, where blocks over 30k BTC are exchanged between 2 parties would deserve a reddit thread of its own. Crazyness all around.
Your options: DIY or going through a regulated financial intermediary.
Execution trading is a job in itself. You have to be patient, be careful not to wipe out the order book and place limit orders, monitor the market intraday for spikes or opportunities. At big levels, for a large cash out that may take weeks, these kind of details will save you hundred thousands of dollars. I understand crypto holders are suspicious and may prefer to do it by themselves, but there are regulated entities who now offer the services. Besides, being a crypto millionaire is not a guarantee you will get institutional daily withdrawal limits at exchange. You might, but it will take you another round of KYC with them, and surprisingly this round might be even more aggressive that the ones at Private banks since exchange have gone under intense scrutiny by regulators lately.
The fees for cashing out through a regulated financial intermediary to help you with your cash out should be around 1-2% flat on the nominal, not more. And for this price you should get the full package: execution/monitoring of the trades AND onboarding in a private bank. If you are asked more, you are being abused.
Of course, you also have the option to do it yourself. It is a way more tedious and risky process. Compliance with the exchange, compliance with the private bank, trading BTC/fiat, monitoring the transfers…You will save some money but it will take you some time and stress. Further, if you approach a private bank directly, it will trigger a series of red flag to the banks. As I said in my previous post, they call a direct approach a “walk-in”. They will be more suspicious than if you were introduced by someone and won’t hesitate to show you high fees and load your portfolio with in-house products that earn more money to the banks than to you. Remember also most banks still do not understand crypto so you will have a lot of explanations to provide and you will have to start form scratch with them!
The paradox of crypto millionaires Most of my clients who made their wealth through crypto all took massive amount of risks to end up where they are. However, most of them want their bank account to be managed with a low volatility fixed income capital preservation risk profile. This is a paradox I have a hard time to explain and I think it is mainly due to the fact that most are distrustful towards banks and financial markets in general. Many clients who have sold their crypto also have a cash-out blues in the first few months. This is a classic situation. The emotions involved in hodling for so long, the relief that everything has eventually gone well, the life-changing dynamics, the difficulties to find a new motivation in life…All these elements may trigger a post cash-out depression. It is another paradox of the crypto rich who has every card in his hand to be happy, but often feel a bit sad and lonely. Sometimes, even though it’s not my job, I had to do some psychological support. A lot of clients have also become my friends, because we have the same age and went through the same “ordeal”. First world problem I know… Remember, cashing out is not the end. It’s actually the beginning. Don’t look back, don’t regret. Cash out partially, because it does not make sense to cash out in full, regret it and want back in. relax.
The race to cash out crypto billionaire and the concept of late exiter. The Winklevoss brothers are obviously the first of a series. There will be crypto billionaires. Many of them. At a certain level you can have a whole family office working for you to manage your assets and take care of your needs . However, let me tell you it’s is not because you made it so big that you should think you are a genius and know everything better than anyone. You should hire professionals to help you. Managing assets require some education around the investment vehicles and risk management strategies. Sorry guys but with all the respect I have for wallstreebet, AMD and YOLO stock picking, some discipline is necessary. The investors who have made money through crypto are generally early adopters. However I have started to see another profile popping up. They are not early adopters. They are late exiters. It is another way but just as efficient. Last week I met the first crypto millionaire I know who first bough bitcoin over 1000$. 55k invested at the beginning of this year. Late adopter & late exiter is a route that can lead to the million.
Last remarks. I know banks, bankers, and FIAT currencies are so last century. I know some of you despise them and would like to have them burn to the ground. With compliance officers taking over the business, I would like to start the fire myself sometimes. I hope this extensive guide has helped some of you. I am around if you need more details. I love my job despite all my frustration towards the banking industry because it makes me meet interesting people on a daily basis. I am a crypto enthusiast myself, and I do think this tech is here to stay and will change the world. Banks will have to adapt big time. Things have started to change already; they understand the threat is real. I can feel the generational gap in Geneva, with all these old bankers who don’t get what’s going on. They glaze at the bitcoin chart on CNBC in disbelief and they start to get it. This bitcoin thing is not a joke. Deep inside, as an early adopter who also intends to be a late exiter, as a libertarian myself, it makes me smile with satisfaction.
Cheers. @swisspb on telegram

Advantage of Digital Marketing for Business Growth

The term advertising was first used as part of the 1990s. From the 2010s along with the 2000s advertising turned out to become more sophisticated as an effective method to make an association with the purchaser that has profundity and significance. Digital media's advancement has made new openings and streets for promotion and publicizing. Energized by the growth of gadgets to get to media, this has prompted development in marketing. The Digital Marketing Training Institute in Indore area has no bounds, its range is seamless, with diverse areas and segments such as for as Social networking writing advertising, SEO/SEM, Adwords, Data Analysis, Designing, and much more.
1. Not Just Big Brands, But Everyone Since modern advertising began to develop, only large companies with a high budget could afford to invest in advertising on traditional channels such as TV or radio. The advent of Digital Marketing has opened the doors to all commercial activities, from the pizzeria in Sliema or the small hotel in Valletta, to the big multinational igaming company in Malta. Not presenting an investment limit allows all companies to resize their marketing strategy based on their goals and the context in which they operate.
2. Anywhere, anytime Since advertising started to develop, only large businesses with a budget could afford to invest in channels such as TV or radio. The dawn of Digital Marketing has opened the doors to all activities, from the pizzeria at Sliema or the small resort in Valletta, to the large multinational gaming business in Malta. Not presenting an investment limitation allows their advertising plan to be resized by all businesses based on their targets and the context in which they function.
3. You Can Reach a Specific Target Among the advantages of Digital Marketing is that it's possible to recognize a particular audience (target) to whom to address your communication and your articles based on specific characteristics such as location, age, interests, etc.. For example, you can make Facebook Advertising or Google Adwords campaigns by deciding on a target and maximizing the chance to convert customers.
4. Low Cost of Advertising Digital Marketing costs less than traditional marketing and, ironically, achieves more results. In traditional marketing, it’s difficult for small businesses to compete with larger businesses for ad space. TV ads, billboards ads, and radio commercials are expensive. Digital Marketing enables small businesses to get more out of their marketing budget, as Digital Marketing packages come in different sizes.
5. Digital Marketing For Students Digital Marketing Course in Indore is a subject of research for everyone, in order to perform secure and effective transactions. The students getting more specialized knowledge can learn it quicker as expansion and technology go together. Digital Marketing is a subject that has not remained untouched by some of the other theories on the industry. Pupil's life is full of learning procedure, in which they learn for knowledge, admiration, exploration, better livelihood, stability. To maintain the race of succeeding learning is a must. Digital Marketing Training Indore has established itself as a vast and expanding discipline for showing professional grade. If we speak about the job market, it is flourishing like never before. The firms are more inclined to look for SEO Training in Indore and advertising abilities since they are currently placing more attention.

Digital Marketing For Social Networking Digital advertising supports potent and speedy correspondence. Video, pictures, and content can be controlled in any number of avenues in any given time allowing a little bit of material to be discharged into a bunch of people of almost any dimension in a matter of minutes. At long last, not like conventional techniques, in the domain of digital, you can find continuously what is or is not working for your company and you can adjust quickly to improve your outcomes. The career scope within the discipline of the advertising business can be speculated from the popularity of the net throughout the world, as no area is remaining untouched. We can quickly decide, how important is advertising for businesses. With exercises developing quickly in every circle, consumer needs are evolving. 7. Measurable Results Should you invest a massive chunk of money on TV advertising, how can you know your Digital Marketing is working? The response: no way. It is practically impossible to monitor the achievement of marketing and advertising campaigns that are standard. By comparison, you can monitor and see how powerful your campaigns are in advertising. You can know what is working, what is not, and make appropriate changes. You can also prevent ineffective advertising to conserve cash and capitalize on the ones that are working. Google Analytics, for instance, can give you information on how clients interact with your site, so you know which will be performing well and one isn't. 8. Government steps with “Digital India” In order to transform the whole ecosystem of public agencies through the utilization of information technologies, the Government of India has established the Digital India program together with all the vision to transform India into a digitally enabled society and knowledge economy. The opportunities are not only available in metro towns but also in small towns. Authorities have also come up with the program for Employment applications. If we speak about, Digital Marketing and advertising career in India, then you are at the ideal location. Stop debating on the choices and also get to know what benefits it holds.
