More About Us

BIG VISION

We aspire to improve our world and everyone’s lives (especially the poor) with the adoption and use of blockchain technologies.  We aspire that governments and businesses will be more efficient, effective and responsive – and, that the individual members of society will be the primary beneficiaries.

BIG VALUES

We value innovation and purposeful disruption. We value the enthusiasm, skill and capabilities of our global blockchain community. We value empathy and caring for our planet and our common humanity.

BIG STATEMENT ON ICOS

We believe that Intial Coin Offerings (ICOs) can be a revolutionary and valid form of fund raising, whose decentralized nature allows for more egalitarian participation.  To promote the acceptance of ICOs and to protect the public and investors, however, we also believe that ICOs should be regulated.

For now, Members (and Non-Members) may not state or imply that their association with BIG is an endorsement of any ICO, whether they have an ‘Advisor,’ ‘Non-Profit,’ ‘Ambassador,’ ‘Partner,’ ‘Friend,’ or any other official or unofficial designation or status with BIG.  In addition, any company currently in a Pre-ICO or ICO stage may not display the BIG logo nor may they state that they have a ‘Partner’ or similar relationship with BIG either on their website or elsewhere (even if they are a ‘BIG Partner’ or other category of Member).

BIG NON-PROFIT STATUS

BIG is not currently a non-profit organization and there are no tax deductions for membership fees or donations.
