So currently my way of keeping track of crypto and blockchain developments is through a combination of PC>Smart Phone>and Raspberry pi just to make it really geeky. This gets me access to charts, news, chat boards, my portfolio, video content etc. I don’t think I’m special. Just understanding that a large portion of people only consume their crypto thru Smart phone apps. And a great portion within that smartphone group, only consumes info which is targeted at them.
So I want to share my thoughts on the Concept that is Makeafolio and how it can be the Crypto platform you can introduce your friends to. I see an opportunity for the next mass consumed social network to be very crypto friendly. My time so far using Makeafolio reminds me of the early days of what this online social thing is. I know Facebook eventually won out with billions of users, but one of the first social networks was Myspace, and its seems time is at hand to reboot the old social portals but now with crypto dust sprinkled on top.
I was able to score an invite to the Alpha version of the Makeafolio platform, and I’m already digging what the team envisions. Being that it is a demo , not every link works but the design is presented for users to provide feedback and suggestions on the layout. This is pretty cool, to be a part of a Blockchain/Crypto product being created with input from the community.
So let me at least go over what works currently.
The main Dashboard Presents you with widgets geared towards managing your crypto-world, and seeing what others are posting, talking about, suggestions and available analysis.
The social aspect such as making posts, liking content, following people and general chat is possible.
Ultimately access to posting Blogs, Articles, creating Groups, will begin weaving together a central hub for your personal brand of crypto.
The design is clean and familiar; however the goal is to give you enough customization to make your page unique, and allowing you to capitalize on your content.
Apart from the social aspects of Makeafolio, there’s also the MAFMarket watch.
Starting with the landing page, complete with a coinmarketcap type view.
There is an account service for a Portoflio showing your Net worth and Live trading services to make managing basic crypto trades easy for new users.
I understand that there are more powerful tools dedicated to this already, but keeping my scope towards the mainstream user, Juggling digital wallets and multiple exchanges will not be enjoyable if your new to the scene. A user friendly dashboard where friends and families can collaborate, educate, and share just makes sense. Someday mom and dad will understand why you wasted your money on something called a Dogecoin.
If they were on Makeafolio you could easily share news and charts to show the wisdom of your investments. Being able to create an account to start investing based on the tools and support provided by the MAF Social platform, can help others enjoy Crypto and the development of blockchain technologies.
Here are a few more views available in the Alpha build. Along with a few items not yet available in this version but very important to the Big picture of what Makeafolio aims to be as a mass market product.
A detailed Charts view
The ability to create a coin watchlist.
A view of the biggest Gainers.
A handy calculator too.
Lastly I’ll take this moment to highlight how The Hermes Blockchain brought to us by Apollocurrency is beginning to establish roots and projects like Makeafolio are strengthening the brand.
Makeafolio is also attracting popular Crypto youtubers who are joining the ranks of the MAF community. Getting community personalities like Tony 100k and CrytoTonight will help to get more interest in MAFSocial.
