In the world of digital assets, blockchain, and cryptocurrency, we are standing at the dawn of a new era.

Month by month, crypto is winning over new leaders, executives, and even entire countries. This momentum will only accelerate throughout the decade.

The tide has turned. Congress is embracing the crypto wave. The Senate is backing Bitcoin. Lawmakers globally are rallying behind cryptocurrency.

Regulation is finally catching up.

Over 90% of the world’s banks are diving into blockchain technology. Last year alone, Bank of America filed over 160 patent applications for digital payment innovations.

This is an economic revolution.

Investor Raoul Pal declared, “This is probably the greatest opportunity for investment and wealth generation we’ve ever been given.”

Yet, amidst this explosive growth and unparalleled opportunity lies a shadow.

Scams, fraud, rug pulls, liquidations…

LM is a self-custodial, asset-management platform – akin to a digital bank

Users can store, manage and protect their digital assets, all in one place.

However Locked Money’s Unique Selling Point is something that nobody has done before – and this is extremely exciting for Crypto and for the entire Crypto Community.  And that is that Users of the Professional Plan of Locked Money will not have to pay Capital Gains Tax on their profits.

We can shield our users from Capital Gains Tax liabilities due to our structure. 

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Locked Money (LM) introduces itself not just as another digital wallet or a place to manage crypto assets, but as a comprehensive asset management platform, effectively functioning like a digital bank for your cryptocurrencies. Here's what sets LM apart, particularly with its Professional Plan:

• Self-Custody with a Twist: At LM, users have complete control over their digital assets through self-custodial vaults. These vaults, which have passed audits for security, allow you to store, manage, and even transact with your assets.

 
• Tax Efficiency: The game-changer lies in LM's integration of a legal framework known as a Series LLC (Limited Liability Company). For users opting for the Professional Plan, this isn't just about storage or transactions but about tax management.

How It Works:

 
◦ Legal Entity: By linking your vault to a Series LLC, your assets technically belong to this corporate entity rather than you personally. This shift in legal ownership will distance you from Capital Gains tax liabilities on these assets.

 
◦ No Capital Gains Tax: The structure of the Series LLC, means that the gains from trading or holding crypto within your vault aren't subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT). This is because the entity, not the individual, holds the assets.

 
◦ Non-Reporting: There's no obligation to report your crypto holdings annually, simplifying your tax obligations significantly.

 
◦ Withdrawal and Personal Tax: When you withdraw funds from your vault to your personal account, that's when personal income tax applies. This is unavoidable but planned for within LM's framework.

Why This Matters:

Historically, such legal structures were the preserve of high-net-worth individuals, out of reach for the average crypto enthusiast. LM democratizes access to these tax optimization strategies, thanks to blockchain technology.

The Blockchain Advantage:

 • Self-Custody Remains: Despite the assets being under a corporate veil for tax purposes, users maintain control over their assets through blockchain's inherent properties, ensuring you can access your funds anytime.

• Tax Optimization, Not Evasion: LM emphasizes compliance. It's about smartly optimizing your tax situation within the law, not avoiding taxes altogether.

In Summary:

LM is an Asset Management Platform - but our unique selling point which nobody has yet done in the Crypto World is we are applying a Legal Infrastructure the Blockchain which means that users of Locked Money will not have to pay Capital Gains tax.

Locked Money isn't just offering a place to park your crypto; it's pioneering a model where legal and tax benefits are woven into the fabric of asset management.

By leveraging Series LLCs, LM aims to make what was once a luxury for the wealthy accessible to all, promising a world where your crypto investments work harder for you, legally and efficiently.

We have already secured many key strategic relationships. Notably, DAO Maker will be our launchpad for our public sale later this year.

DAO Maker is very selective with whom they work, and we are thrilled they recognised immediately the value the Locked Money brings and the problems we are solving.

The public sale is scheduled for November, and we expect it to sell out immediately.

(Please note, that the tokens in the public sale will be considerably more expensive than in the current private sale)

We have also secured a partnership with Tangem, and we will be distributing free hardware wallets to our first 69,000 users on the premium and professional plans.

There will be a free and paid plan for Locked Money.

If you wish to store your assets securely, on and off-ramp, and use the swap functionality, all these will be available on the Free Plan.

The paid professional plans allow access to banking and the Legal Structure.

Here are the benefits of both:

Free Plan:

• Secure, Multi-Signature Vaults: Your assets locked with top-tier security.
• 100% Self-Custodial: You control your keys, you control your crypto.

Let's chat about what "vesting" means, especially when you're part of a Private Round for Locked Money.

What's a Private Round?

A Private Round is where you have an exclusive opportunity to buy something amazing at a really low price. You get to buy assets (like Locked Money tokens) before anyone else, and at the cheapest rate.

The Big Picture:

 • Exclusive Access: Only a few people get to buy during this round.

 • Low Price: You're getting a great deal!

 • Limited Time: Once it's over, that price is gone forever.

Now, Let's Talk Vesting:

When the Private Round ends, there's often a wait before the asset goes public (this is called the Token Generation Event or TGE). By the time it's public, the price might skyrocket! 

To keep everyone happy and prevent a rush to sell, vesting ensures you don't sell all your assets at once.

How Vesting Works:

 • Instead of getting all your tokens at once, they're released or "vested" over time.

 • This drip-feed prevents a massive sell-off which could crash the price.

Here's how it breaks down for the LM Private Rounds:

Private Round #1:

 • Funds Raised: $720,000

 • Token Price: $0.0018

 • Vesting Schedule:

 ◦ At TGE: 12% of your tokens are yours.

 ◦ Monthly Release: 9.7% every month for 9 months, until you have all your tokens.

Private Round #2 (Additional Funding):

 • Funds Raised: $400,000

 • Token Price: $0.0020

 • Vesting Schedule:

 ◦ At TGE: 12.5% of your tokens are released.

 ◦ Monthly Release: 14.5% every month for 6 months, until you have all your tokens.

COMMUNITY Funding Round: 

•  Funds Being Raised: $450,000

 • Token Price: $0.0015

 • Vesting Schedule:

 ◦ At TGE: 6% of your tokens are released.

 ◦ Monthly Release: There is a 3-month wait after TGE (known as a cliff) and then after these 3 months, the tokens are released at 4.7% every month for 20 months.

So, vesting is like a safety net for everyone involved, ensuring a smooth transition from private to public and helping to maintain the value of your investment over time. 

Sure!
