Your Gateway to the Internet of Value - The European cryptocurrency exchange of trust https://t.me/joinchat/E1faPRKlcHR1QAPtPkhc8w … …

Bitcoin introduces a platform on which you can run currency as an application on a network without any central points of control. A system completely decentralized like the internet itself. It is not money for the internet but the internet of money.”

Andreas Antonopoulos

In the same way as the Internet redefined global communication, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now reinventing money and value transactions.

Before Bitcoin, money was defined by State sovereignty over a territory. From now on, any community can mint its own money in form of a cryptocurrency or digital token and start trading without any central supervising authority.

In 2017 alone, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) raised around $5 billion. Each project was financed by a community of token holders who became its ambassadors. There are now already tens of millions of token holders.

Bitcoins and digital tokens are like better, smarter cash. They are programmable money. Immediately liquid, indefinitely divisible, and instantly transferable, they can be programmed to meet the needs of particular assets, rights, goods, or services or of specific communities.

In the coming years, we will see a multitude of cryptocurrencies being deployed. New cryptographic developments and payment applications will allow us to transact in all these currencies, with the traditional “fiat” currencies retaining their role as price anchors/index currencies.

At Blockchain.io, it's not just about launching another cryptoexchange. We want to provide innovative solutions to problems we have seen in the current market. Every crypto trader worries about their favorite exchange being hacked...

Vitalik's Approval

Last week, Vitalik Buterin (founder of Ethereum) told TechCrunch that he hoped we would see a move away from Centralized Exchanges.

In a Twitter back and forth this week, we asked his opinion and he gave our approach the green light! He said (in French) that it's a great idea and he hopes more exchanges would look into it.
