Introduction

Hi guys! Very nice to meet you. I’m Jenna, one of the founders and CEO of COOPY! Coops is my furry little baby and ultimately the boss of me!!! I wanted to give a bit of an intro to the project, more from a personal perspective rather than always following a stuffy corporate route with facts and figures. You can dive deeper for that 🙂

So…here we go:

I believe that we are pivoting on the cusp of a breakthrough with the way Crypto and Decentralised Finance, as a whole, is understood. As it stands, we have the institutions that are pushing against not having control…however, we also have ‘Joe Blogs’, rightfully, not wanting to sign their life away just to be able to transfer some money to a friend or loved one.

As I write this, it does spring to mind that I do have some concerns regarding how technology is progressing with AI but that will be for another time and is irrelevant to this now. The only thing I will say is that there does need to be some sort of boundaries set within AI and machine learning as a whole…otherwise we will be opening up pandoras box to another level of fraud and control. Now back to the point 🙂

We, as a company, fundamentally believe that there is opportunity for a happy middle ground to be reached when it comes to Crypto. Carrying on from the snippet above, there does need to be some sort of legislation because we CANNOT be so completely contradictory with our requests. The amount of times I have heard people say “I was rugged” “it was a honeypot” “crypto is terrible and full of scammers” “there needs to be rules” “KYC” “DOX”… then a few breaths later are complaining about rules imparted on by their government is insane. For every level of anonymity, comes risk of abuse from fraudulent parties. It’s true in Crypto and it’s true in every day, with a relative of a prince from Africa suddenly emailing you asking for your account details because they left you multiples of millions of pounds in their will. We all must be VERY diligent with how we act!

Crypto is a gamble, but it’s actually no different to anything we do “in real life” (a phrase I really try to shy away from because this is real life for me…that’s what Coopy is about…aligning crypto and fiat and bringing Blockchain technology to the forefront…so I can’t really say “IRL”…to reiterate…this is life…even if I’m not on TG all the time answering “wen moon”!!!)

In actual fact, the majority of forward-thinking financial institutions and governments are progressing with their digital development whilst we play in the “wild west of crypto”.

With COOPY, we are striving to change this. We want to break down barriers and provide the opportunity to be at the forefront of the change, not following the pack or what is dictated to us via legislation…we want to lead in how blockchain tech can be incorporated in every day life and in a safe comfortable way, for those that have already adopted Crypto, are interested in it but concerned, and those that really have zero idea what they are doing. Sadly, it’s the latter that tend to get burned more than anyone else ☹️. As part of our long term strategy we are already in consultation and talks with large financial institutions with regards to assisting with incorporating Blockchain Technology within their current structure. Of course, we cannot discuss this any further due to privacy agreements (you’ll see why I refer to it as this not NDA’s as you read further / get to know me 🙂) but it’s part of the roadmap for the long term.

Anyway, I, personally see a time and a place for getting a “quick win”, but at the same time I have moved away from “Degen Plays” (Again, much like “IRL” that’s likely to be the one and only time you will ever hear that coming out of my mouth / fingers!). Each to their own of course, but for myself, I sit and look at some of the, let’s say, seasonal tokens coming out and unless you are really lucky, or know someone on the inside to get in super early you will often be the one left “holding the baby” and, sadly, more often than not, the ones with the baby are the ones that can’t afford to lose. I know, and also completely advocate, that you shouldn’t invest what you can’t afford to lose…but let’s be realistic here. If I was to hazard a guess and put a percentage on things I would say that at least 95% of people in Crypto invest more than they can afford to lose. I would also say that there are individuals that don’t even realise that they can’t afford to lose it. What I mean by this is, during a bull run, pretty much anyone can make some money…unless they liquidate then when there is a downturn, they don’t have anything left…can’t sell…can’t liquidate…no money. Crypto Millionaire to zero in 30 seconds!

Crypto is a gamble. Just like playing the slots in Vegas. There is a phrase “the house always wins”…I fundamentally believe that in most projects this is the case. It’s easy for projects to have team tokens, oh someone sold, someone stole the marketing wallet, it’s a dump, what do we do, help…project slowly dies! (There will be NO team tokens with COOPY...there will be locked and vested project tokens but more on that in the Tokenomics).

COOPY is fundamentality about giving its investors financial freedom and stability, whilst not necessarily having to keep an eye on the price action and being concerned if there is a drop in the value of the tokens. Remember – we cannot control everything. As we are starting on the ETH network we are obviously reliant on the price of ETH…therefore there could be nothing wrong with the project and no one selling but the value of COOPY decreases with ETH…this can lead to panic...but our ethos and aim is to make it so that you are living off dividends by investing so you do not even need to consider selling your tokens.

How do we do this? In a nutshell (please read the whitepaper for further info)…we will be using funds raised from the pre-sale, as well as from additional sales of items whether that be in game purchases, products, NFT’s, etc, to invest in various businesses and projects. In turn, we as a company will become shareholders and receive dividends. A percentage of the dividends will be used to further our investment portfolio, marketing as well as giving investors dividends. The exact amount that you receive will depend on your percentage holdings and the length of time that you hold them for. There will also be ways of increasing this percentage share for yourself which will be announced as we progress with our timeline. But essentially – the more you hold, the longer you hold, the larger your benefit of the passive revenue stream.

We will also be setting up our own investment fund. This will be where we can invest in items that would otherwise be unattainable due to the cost factor, we will also be carrying out various trades and, again, the more you have invested the larger the proportion of the dividend that you will receive. Decision making will be done by an appointed committee and will ultimately come down to a mix of community voting, actual investor voting, etc (see GOVERNANCE).

We are creating our own Coopyverse where we will be encouraging AR and VR technology uses, and sine we are particularly interested in how AR can be used to enhance customer experience journeys, we are creating our own Coopymon Go (working name) style game to encourage global interactivity. Within this we will also be partnering with businesses to offer discounts on various products. The COOPYVERSE and COOPYMON GO app, are part of a much larger scale product offering from COOPY LABS.

There is such a large for the project, that we wont be covering everything all at once to ensure maintaining our first mover advantage, however we will be updating the roadmap and white paper as we progress through the journey.

So, enough from me for now, thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully joining us on this very exciting journey!
