We're currently working on a piece regarding the DeFi Index
Crash we are witnessing, Binance Futures DeFi Composite Index
(DCI) is down 50% while TokenSet's DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) is
down 30%. We're looking to get insights on the following
subjects:

1. While the Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has jumped 40% in
the past 30 days, why are we seeing the DeFi indexes crash
suddenly?

2. Uniswap generated more than $15 billion in volume last month,
even more than CoinBase. Shouldn't this act as a catalyst for
investors to further invest in DeFi indices as well?

3. Did the increase of the Ethereum transactions fees act as a
deterrent for traders? (Fees has now dropped 85%, but still
these indices continue to remain down)

4. ETH hash rate recently hit it's all time high, will this
encourage more investors into DeFi and as a by product cause the
indices to rally? 5. How will this impact the miners now that
ETH is 3x more profitable to mine than Bitcoin?

6. Please feel free to add any additional details that you feel
I might have failed to consider in relation to this subject.

For your time, we will be more than happy to add your/company
name, company/profile details in the article. However, we do not

publishing house.

25) Summary: Seeking Entrepreneur Journeys

Name: Sheldon Chi One Million by One Million

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bci8@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: One Million by One Million

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 9 October

Query:

Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting companies with at least $5 million in annual
revenue to feature in lengthy feature stories. We are interested
in interviewing the entrepreneur who can and is willing to
discuss, at length, the nuances of the strategy and process of
company building, spanning topics such as bootstrapping,
financing, positioning, customer acquisition, channels, team
building, etc. To pitch, please provide revenue level, industry
(Our interests: E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile,
Social, Big Data, IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming,
Healthcare IT, Online Education, etc.) and focus of the story
angle in terms of company-building experience. We use the
revenue level as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish
this number in the actual story. The Entrepreneur Journeys
series has already produced 12 books
(http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the series
on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of
the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is
to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual
revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach
other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters.
You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons
from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many
venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes (India),
Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.

Requirements:

When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.
