Blockchain the enemy of many countries is now used as their security system, this actually means that it's time to learn and know more about blockchain.
I was going through the internet and i saw something,
France Opens first Blockchain in Europe, if that can happen in france that means there is hope for those that are into blockchain.
According to the report France became host to Europe's first blockchain accelerator as Paris moves to become the “capital of ICOs”.
Among the list of participants in the blockchain scheme are Gatecoin CEO Aurelien Menant and HSBC head of digital innovation Diana Biggs, with more surprising participation from legacy finance parties such as former SWIFT CEO Leonard Schrank. Read
What is GateCoin?
GateCoin is actually a particular kind of coin, Aurélien Menant is the founder and CEO of Gatecoin.
- Gatecoin was the first licensed digital currency exchange in Asia, and its aims include fulfilling all the requirements set by Hong Kong’s financial regulators as well as offering the advantages associated with Bitcoin transactions.
- Gatecoin is Founded in 2013 by investment bankers, Gatecoin is a bitcoin and ethereum token exchange designed for both professional traders and retail investors.
- Gatecoin has been an early supporter of bitcoin inspired technologies, as the first exchange in the world to list ethereum’s token, ether (ETH) in August 2015. Gatecoin was subsequently the first exchange to list ERC20 standard tokens associated with decentralized applications (dapps) built on top of ethereum and the first to provide direct participation in token generation events (TGEs) or initial coin offerings (ICOs). Gatecoin continued to support the most promising blockchain based projects, acting as a global gateway to decentralized applications.click
As cryptocurrencies and blockchain tokens challenge and transform forex and capital markets, Gatecoin is the marketplace bridging the two domains.
- Gatecoin won the 2014 Best Start-up Prize for Central and East Asia at Talent Unleashed (Sir Richard Branson and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were part of the jury) and the Asia-Pacific Award at the 2016 DigiWorld Awards after being selected by consulting firm Capgemini.continue
like in Nigeria, recently Central Bank of Nigeria was against cryptocurrency, blockchain as a whole, telling the citizens that anyone who goes into it should be ready to face what ever he/she experiences, in other words blockchain was not a trusted or a reliable source of income, even though they did not come out openly to say that it's a kind of fraud.
The interesting part is that blockchain is not just a source of income, it can be used for other things and in places like Hospitals, Banks,for elections.
Blockchain is very transparent and there is no way fraudulent act can be hidden.
Today as we speak Nigeria has decided to accept blockchain which is a very good news and the best news for those that were into it prior to this time, currently speaking they are trying to bring out an association known as "BAN" which is Blockchain Association of Nigeria.
