Since our soft launch in September 2018, LocalCoinSwap has been running in what is known as a beta stage with a functional MVP (Minimum Viable Product). The MVP has been a fantastic proof of concept, built upon solid foundations in security and functionality. This has been supported and improved by the feedback from our community and P2P traders using the platform.
As you know, the ongoing bear market has seen widespread losses in cryptocurrency projects, many failing or faltering at the downward pressure. Whilst conscientious of the market volatility, we have continued to build and focus all of our energy into delivering a top tier product moving forward into 2019 and beyond. Unsurprisingly over the last few months, trading volume has been low across most cryptocurrency exchanges, including LocalCoinSwap.
To echo the sentiments of many influential voices in our space, the bear market has also provided a unique opportunity which is the chance to focus our efforts on product development. Capitalizing on the economic downturn in this manner has been the only sensible solution and one that we believe will result in longer-term safeguards for our community.
It’s also important to highlight that, throughout this period, a tight grip has been kept on initial funds raised allowing the team to use them wisely in developing, marketing and maintaining the LocalCoinSwap platform. Whilst driving volume is always our primary business objective it must also be considered in the context of the project’s timeframe and milestones. With the MVP running smoothly, along with product development, we have also been able to focus on an amplification plan for hard launch and beyond that, we hope will continue to generate awareness and drive activity on the platform at the right times.
The building of partnerships that have the potential to create lasting value for LCS holders, as well as the implementation of website page redesigns and community feature requests will all be coming into fruition over the coming hard launch period and beyond. Patience is a virtue, we have appreciated it from the community, especially in this bear market and we are serious about continuing to deliver you our best efforts. The entire team is dedicated to build, maintain and strengthen the platform in every single possible area that we can.
