Okay here’s a big update for you on $EMMA 

We are going public locally 🥳🌟 and will be reaching out to our news houses to tell them what we’ve accomplished over the past few months. 

This will be a longer post so read on to find out what this could mean for $EMMA and our decision behind it: 

During the touching grass session me and my partner discussed the future and the immense growth we’ve had over the past week and the progress we’ve made. 

We need you to know that we did not start building $EMMA a week ago, we started in February, only silently behind scenes. Our goal was to get a working MVP but then after that to truly scale we need data - masses of it. 

As you’ve seen, this project will be the data subject of our planned academic works. 

I will be focusing on the regulatory intersection and considerations needed when you are dealing with - Multiple legislative structures from different countries and how they deal with AI x Law x Mental Health Care and where we might need to adapt our South African Law (when doing academic work it's always recommended to first confine your scope to one area - once you've come to a conclusion you can expand your research beyond that)

My partner will focus on the effectiveness of our hybrid model over time and where AI would need to advance for full autonomous safe care amongst other things - her thesis proposal has been sent to a few local universities - the University of Cape Town (UCT) has invited her to partake in the interview process for the selection of the universities next intake of research and masters student's - research will be published following the normal process 

Now back to our decision to engage local news houses - 
To give you some perspective - a market cap of of $170k in our local currency is about XXXXXXXXXXXX ZAR 

Now for a startup to grow to R3 mil in South Africa 🇿🇦would take a lot more than X Months with the capital I personally invested with my time imo - So other than the fact that I absolutely love the concept of crypto, the scale was a major factor in our decision to launch to the global market — it's just so much bigger.

So this now gives us the unique opportunity to tell our local markets what we've achieved on a global scale. 

As in most countries currently - crypto is a hot topic - and if we could show other South Africans that if you have an concept and put in the work - you could bring it to life if you really wanted to

No one else in our country is currently doing what we are - and most crypto advertisements are some scam or get rich quick ponzi initiative - If we can get our local markets behind us - could be massive 

So most will probably struggle with the process of actually buying through DEX and the initial set up required - or even know what Virtuals is- but we aren't hoping to get more people to buy our token - our goal with going public locally is more eyes on our project and that will of course inherently put a lot more eyes on what @virtuals_io does and a great teaching moment for our locals and hopefully expansion of the ecosystem and more users in general - yes it's ambitious - but i mean why not right? 

We will also gain USERS of @DrEmmaSage 

So let me start sending some emails to @News24 @SABCNews @CapeTimesSA @BusInsiderSSA @SundayTimesZA @Netwerk24
