As we prepare for the upcoming BitDoctor community-priority Alpha sale, I'd like to take some time to reflect on the extraordinary journey we've had over the past year and share the exciting plans for the future.
Growth and Milestones Over the Past Year
In the past 12 months, despite starting from scratch, the team's persistence and the support of the community have enabled us to make significant progress.
During this 12-month period, I personally participated in 72 AMA sessions, hundreds of Web3 conferences, panel discussions, and interviews, sharing insights on topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network), DeSci (Decentralized Science), Blockchain, and medical innovations. We also hosted 6 exclusive panel discussions, including key internal meetings with the BitDoctor core members.
As a relatively small team, and with the help of the community, we proudly showcased our presence at multiple top-tier events, including Token2049 Dubai and Singapore, DISummit2024 Africa, DevCon Thailand, VTIS Vietnam, Taipei Blockchain Week, and Tainan Builder House. These events have demonstrated our rapid growth and strong influence in the Web3 space. Soon after, we were mentioned multiple times by Messari, and we were delighted to learn about this from the community members who shared the news with us.
Furthermore, we participated in numerous sponsorships and localized gatherings to connect with the community, including "Soft Landing into BKK" in Bangkok, "Genesis" with the Sunway Blockchain Club in Malaysia, "Casual Gathering for NEW to Web3" and "Future of Tech & Opportunity" in Kuala Lumpur, and "Web3 Integration Night" with Linkora in Malaysia.
Our leadership team was honored to be invited as keynote speakers at several important events, such as VTIS Vietnam, Taipei Blockchain Week, and Tainan Builder House, where we shared BitDoctor's innovative contributions to decentralized healthcare.
Since our launch on Google Play 5.5 months ago and iOS 4 months ago, we have attracted over 132,000 users, with 70,000 daily active users. We have helped over 32,000 users identify one or more non-communicable diseases (NCDs), raising their health awareness and potentially saving their lives. With the recognition from Google and Apple, we are now launching a WebApp to drive mass adoption of our ecosystem.
We were honored to be ranked third in the "Blockchain For Good Alliance (BGA) Web3 Oscar Community Vote," which highlights the strong support of our community, and we will be forever grateful.
Soon after, thanks to several meetings with ev3 co-founder Salvador Gala, we were mentioned in the Messari 2024 DePIN State of the Union report (page 85) and featured in their DeSci post on the X platform. The recognition from these partners further reinforces my conviction that I am on the right track in the Web3 space.
With over 40,000 people joining our waitlist and the continued growth of our global app user community, we have proven the undeniable demand for accessible and decentralized healthcare solutions, which further motivates me to continue pushing forward with my work.
Roadmap
We continue to enable early disease detection by transforming the existing CMOS sensors in smartphones into electronic PPG (photoplethysmography) signal collectors. We are about to integrate the BitDoctor AI agent to provide boundless, highly personalized health analysis, recommendations, and potential treatment research.
Future plans include integrating DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and IoT (Internet of Things) to solidify BitDoctor's position as the leading decentralized health data infrastructure protocol, serving AI and bioresearch scientists, pharmaceutical research, and clinical trials, ultimately driving advancements in healthcare, reducing medical costs, and extending human longevity.
Community-Priority Pre-Sale
The Alpha sale will be exclusively open to current app users, early supporters, and waitlist registrants, in collaboration with the SwissBorg Alpha. This ensures that those who have supported us from the beginning have priority access to this opportunity. Each participant will have the chance to subscribe to a small portion of the allocation to ensure fair distribution.
No VC Dump - 100% Community-Centric
This is a pure community sale, ensuring no venture capital (VC) dump to dilute the project's value. We believe empowering those who trust us is key, and our goal is to create a sustainable ecosystem where every participant can benefit from BitDoctor's growth.
When I first entered the cryptocurrency market in 2013, it was a healthy, community-driven space advocating for decentralization. Then came the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) era, where early investors would promote their holdings and attract new buyers in the secondary market, while projects would reward this commitment through fair token valuations.
However, with the entry of financial giants, the market lost its balance. Private placements and VCs would purchase tokens at extremely low prices and then dump them on the community during the Token Generation Event (TGE), leaving loyal investors with little to no profit.
The "fair launch" approach tried to address this issue, but it did not fully succeed. Market makers and early buyers would snap up tokens at low prices and then dump them on latecomers. The result? Most participants lost money in these so-called "fair launches," which were not fair at all.
We are committed to long-term growth, not short-term profits. With a clear vision and a real product, we have laid a solid foundation from the very first step.
Therefore, we have designed a sustainable and fair system that combines the wisdom of traditional stock markets with the flexibility of cryptocurrencies.
Here's how we're doing it:
Low-valuation launch: We will launch the token at a lower valuation compared to similar projects.
Transparent Alpha sale: No large buyers or dumpers, everything will be done on-chain.
Broader participation: The token distribution will be split into smaller portions, allowing more community members to participate at each tier.
To prevent exploitation by large entities or VCs, we are utilizing facial recognition technology to ensure fairness - because everyone has only one face, Sybil attacks (51% attacks) are effectively mitigated.
We believe in the power of decentralization and are committed to creating a system that benefits and empowers everyone.
Looking Ahead
The priority Alpha sale is just the beginning. With your support, BitDoctor will continue to redefine healthcare through Blockchain and AI, making medical services ubiquitous, affordable, and efficient.
We are transforming individual CMOS sensors into life-saving technology, so please be prepared for what's to come, as we are about to make a grand move!
