Wallets, keys, chains, coins, block confirmations, mining, staking, validators, etc. are all novel terms that may intimidate new users of crypto.

So we thought it would be useful to share an anecdotical post by Simon, a member of our UK team who - by his own admission - is a total Web3 newbie.

ANNOUCEMENT

§ 5February Fund Fest

The early part of the year is a good time to set up your own crypto investment fund and raise outside money, in time for the expected run-up in BTC followed by ETH in 2H2024 and altcoins in 2025 (a widely-shared prediction we repeat here so it becomes self-fulfilling!).

Early last year, we blogged extensively about the ease of launching your fund in the British Virgin Islands if your launch size is less than US$20MM.

To meet demand, we have since doubled up on our fund formation bench with dedicated experts ready to answer any questions you may have and we also have a special offer during February:

  • Book a FREE fund setup call during February (instead of the usual US$200).
  • Get 10% off your first BVI fund setup invoice if your order is paid before the end of the month February.
