Bitcurate started with a simple goal; providing more transparency to the cryptocurrency industry. With this goal in mind, we started the journey more than 1 year ago in a small office by purely hustling, building the prototype, getting to market asap, speaking to crypto-traders and making mistakes.

Market manipulation is a problem in this industry

Our objective is straightforward. We saw the problem. We live in that problem. The problem of crypto-whales manipulating the market, “pump & dump” groups in Telegram, fake influencer accounts on Twitter, trading volume are washed in smaller exchanges globally, ICO crypto projects scamming the general public and more.

But we are a bunch of engineers, technologist, data scientist and most importantly, have the will to solve this problem. We understood the nature of decentralization and the power of blockchain. We believe this tech is part of the industrial revolution 4.0 and something so powerful, it disrupts the essence of money itself. And we are also a resilient team. We believe as long as we are creating value and solving problem for our customer, be smart and do not over-spent and try to make money by generating revenue, we would cross the chasm.

After several versions of prototyping with barebones MVP, getting customers feedback, customer interview and plenty of support from friends and family, we launched the Bitcurate MVP 1.0 in Shanghai China, at the end of 2018. The reception was great, many supporters signing up and giving us feedback for improvements. We secured more than 3000 beta users during this phase.

We iterate and improve. We keep #BUIDL ing from these feedbacks of customers; i.e. real-time architecture, real-time sentiment analysis, signals and alerts, API access and spreadsheet support. We raised small angel rounds from individual investors. We continue to bootstrap and move to Malaysia for cheaper living expenses. We live in hostels and shared rooms during roadshows and meeting investors in Singapore, Hong Kong and more. We have remote team members comes and go for various reasons. Our family and my team were stressed.

Most importantly, we never give up. We never gave in. Investors asked us for business models, profitability and cash flow, % of prediction accuracy to predict the market (finding alpha) and pivot to other bigger markets. We are a small lean team and our investors top-up their investments to give us some breathing air. We continue to build, test, measure and learn. We made more mistakes.
