It's a new year and my girlfriend and I are going to invest in some Axies on Axie Infinity, play the game, and perhaps find someone in the Philippines who wants to play the game and split the income (I think we can earn Small Love Potion and sell them monthly for Fiat).  We're doing the initial setup and investing in the Axies.  

Here's our step by step process on how we bought the first three:

1. Add the Ronin Wallet extension for Google Chrome
​(I manually saved the password and also the secret phrase manually in lastpass, also took a pic on my phone of the secret code and saved to favorites). 
​
2. Get your Ethereum into your Ronin wallet from your Meta Mask Wallet
(I bought on Coinbase, sent to Metamask, and now am going to bridge.roninchain.com. 

Hello from Bohol, Philippines.  I have been living in Manila the last year working on Handshaking with my now 17 staff members.  Moving to Philippines just days before Covid has definitely been an experience of a lifetime, but after one year in Manila, things took a turn for the worse with 6pm curfew, faceshields AND facemasks required to walk around on the street and simply too much.  

Anyway, the point is that I left the big city and came to the province, where they only accept cash.  I've had a couple different weekly or one month landlords here, and I've also been meeting many crypto expats here.  

I have actually pertained to think that ReefCam is a fantastic business for aiming business owners to aim to and to gain from.

If you wish to begin your own service and make a distinction on the planet, kept reading.
According to Tim, ReefCam CEO, it started with a basic desire in mind: to provide individuals access to stunning locations, locations they may otherwise never ever see.
His group of technically-minded co-founders started with simply a grant and the advisory aid of the MBA professors at American University.

Tim informs me that prior to signing up with the MBA program, he had no experience owning or running an organization. The program was a chance discover, however likewise to learn more about individuals and instructors. And, it was these connections and the conversations with the teachers that were so motivating, they motivated him to start.

" It's like becoming part of an incubator program," Tim states of the Kogod Business School, "It's such a cool thing to be able to find out hands on."

It's clear from consulting with Tim that his drive and his interest in every element of running an organization, together with an enthusiasm for the environmental sciences, have actually added to and had a substantial influence on the business's success. Not to mention the reality that Tim's 3 co-founders, David Bidwell, John Monterubio, and Alex Zajac, all share comparable interests in organization and the environment. You simply can't phony the interest and the interest.

While the business started with a MVP, or minimum practical item-- a single cam in the ocean-- it has actually become a company with the prospective to end up being a media business.
There are simply 6 cams in operation at present, the group is working hard to bring on more and to enhance the experience as they go. Tim talk with me about extra electronic cameras they're carrying out in the Great Barrier Reef, another in association with Cornell, and still more that are set to run in other parts of the world.

For me, the only things that might make their item much better are the real noises of the ocean, more electronic cameras in more areas and more information on how the oceans are altering with time as a result of human activities on the environment. Who understands-- possibly that's currently in the works.

It's clear the business is only just starting, however with a lot of space to grow and have an influence on the method we consider the ocean and the life within it, I've no doubt the group is set to do terrific things.

What hopeful business owners can gain from ReefCam

This is paid access to a live feed from one of their video cameras located in a coral reef. Of the earnings, they contribute a portion to marine preservation, research study and education.

After the MVP has actually been established, the screening and discovering procedure can start. Currently they are doing this, releasing brand-new cam feeds in other parts of the world, using research study organizations and business an opportunity to deal with them to have their own video cameras set up, using a chance to include company branding to live feeds and more, all the while listening to their customers and their partners.

As they grow, they will continue to evaluate and adjust, exhibiting the lean start-up method and the energy of starting with an MVP instead of something which has actually taken years to flesh-out and which might just as quickly total up to absolutely nothing, implying years of wasted time, cash, and understanding made from adjusting based upon feedback.

For start-ups, starting with an MVP is especially crucial. Tim states, "It took us a couple of months to recognize the item we believed we were "refining" prior to it reached market was still truly simply an MVP that required customer feedback. That's huge for start-ups (specifically self-critical business owners, as a lot of us tend to be) to own up to from the beginning.

2. Start in a market that you either understand or that you are passionate about.
Tim's group of co-founders all have interests in company, innovation and the environment-- a best fit for a business that is at once finding out to run a service, and that requires technically-minded personnel to supervise video camera setups, to work with expert scientists, and to establish the online innovation required to change ReefCam into a worldwide media brand name.

Angel financier Boris Wertz thinks that if a creator has years of experience in a market, or if they are passionate about something, they might have what he describes as "the trick of the marketplace." And, it's this extremely secret that is found by hanging out mulling things over and pursuing your own interests or enthusiasms.

Plus, if you're going to deal with something for several years to come and have it been a substantial part of your every waking hour, why not concentrate on something you take pleasure in and believe in?

3. Do not stop developing and be unbiased about brand-new chances
Maybe this is most apparent when you see that of the 6 electronic cameras ReefCam presently runs either themselves or in collaboration with companies or research study organizations, 2 remain in non-marine settings-- the jungle and the International Space Station. That stated, this does not always indicate the business is wandering off from their objective of marine preservation and education-- after all a portion of earnings from memberships still approach this cause. Rather, the business is diversifying and screening, possibly taking up on brand-new chances, keeping up them, examining reactions, and after that adjusting.​

Where do you go from here?
Today, small companies and web start-ups are appearing all over. While this is motivating for those people seeking to end up being business owners, it likewise implies we have an obligation to begin business that exceeds being a "trend," however that look for to advance our understanding of the world, that repair issues we have actually produced which assist others.

When I stumble upon companies that have the possible to favorably affect our world and to alter the method people see the world, or to motivate us to act for causes formerly unconsidered, I am fascinated. I think ReefCam is among these services. And I think it has the possible to make an effect on the world.

That's right, so I figured I'd walk you through my experience, because I was a little nervous doing it for the first time.  Plus, I am in Vietnam, not in US, so if there's a problem, I likely won't be able to speak with top notch customer service in my native tongue. ​
