Globcoin Is Ready to Launch Its ICO Campaign

Globcoin is a multi-currency payment platform that combines the advantages of fiat currency with those of digital money.  Launched by Reserve Currency Solutions SA, a Zug based company, it aims to provide individuals from all around the world access to fast, secure and cheap transactions.

Globcoin is dedicated to creating an environment in which clients will be able to build currency baskets according to their needs. The platform’s currency is associated with 15 of the most important global economies and gold.

Thanks to the Ethereum blockchain technology on which the platform is based, the services that were once reserved to a select few, will now be available to the mainstream public.

Currency baskets are a varied set of selected currencies with different weightings. These currency baskets have the role of minimizing the risks of value fluctuations that can occur in a single reference currency. Globcoin has been offering cryptocurrency baskets to family offices and significant organizations since the year 2012, and now they will make this from of currency management available to all customers.

But even though the advantages of currency baskets seem obvious, their use is dependent on a few restrictions:

  • The barrier of size: the foreign exchange market only trades in large amounts.
  • The barrier of price: only experienced currency managers will receive liquidity and good pricing for transactions involving currency pairs from the basket.
  • The barrier of infrastructure: buying and selling individual currency pairs, with one of them being quoted by a very limited number of counterparts, requires a dedicated infrastructure and professional team.

Globcoin has developed two Ether tokens:

  • GCP – a Utility Token that has the ability to issue and access various currency baskets on the platform, including but not limited to the World Reserve Currency (GLX).
  • GLX – a Token that is connected to the 15 largest fiat world currencies and Gold. The GLX is 100 % backed on a 1-to-1 ratio and for every GLX issued by the Prime Bank there will be collateral ibn fiat currencies and gold. For issuing and exchanging GLX for fiat currency, GCP Utility Tokens are needed.

The team behind the project

Having headquarters in UK and Switzerland, Globcoin brings together a talented collective of individuals which are well versed in FX, blockchain and successful entrepreneurship.

Helie d’Hautefort is one of the company’s co-founders and CEO, known for setting up the first European currency overlay manager and then selling it to BNP Paribas, turning it into a world leader with a revenue of over USD 23 million of AUM.

Bertrand Weisgerber, also a co-founder – he is the current manager and creator of TLS Contact, which over time has become a world leader of visa application, having centers in over 62 countries (15 in China).

More about the ICO

For Globcoin to further continue its development, there will be a token sale with the GCP Utility Token. The fund that will result from this event will be used in improving the current structure of the platform, marketing and PR, customer acquisitions and partnership programs. The proceeds from the funds will also finance 2 years of future Globcoin operations such as legal and administration costs.

  • Token name – GCP;
  • GCP created per 1 Ether – 100;
  • Minimum Ether to be collected (participants can claim a refund if this floor is not reached)-5,000;
  • Maximum Ether (the token sales ends if this cap is reached)- 150,000;
  • Maximum Ether (the pre-sale ends if this cap is reached)- 30,000;
  • Maximum number of tokens generated to crowdsale participants- 15 850 000 to 37.8%;

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
