Asimismo, las estadísticas en cantidad de startups creadas en la rama tecnológica también favorecen a los emprendedores latinoamericanos. De acuerdo al Índice Global de Emprendimiento, los países que encabezan el ecosistema emprendedor en la región son Chile, Puerto Rico y Colombia, con Chile ocupando el puesto número 16 en una lista de 137 países.

Ante todo esto, es importante recalcar que el ecosistema Fintech está teniendo un fuerte impacto en este aumento de cifras. La digitalización de la economía es un proceso que cada vez se extiende más en la búsqueda por proveer servicios a poblaciones desbancarizadas o sin acceso a servicios financieros. Entre las soluciones dirigidas a este sector, IBitt ya ha puesto su grano de arena como proveedor de servicios con criptoactivos, pero ahora apuesta por más junto a la organización mundial de emprendedores Startup Grind.

La red de emprendimiento global ahora cuenta con el apoyo de IBitt como sponsor permanente. En su capítulo de Chile, Startup Grind tiene como director a Ricardo Silva, quién destaca que el patrocinio es una parte importante del trabajo de lograr la participación cada vez mayor de la sociedad en actividades tecnológicas: “Tal vez una de las cosas que más destaca de los patrocinios sobre cualquier forma de publicidad, es la posibilidad que brinda a las marcas de asociarse con causas, eventos, grupos o iniciativas que son afines a sus valores y que por tanto pueden ayudarles a reforzar su posicionamiento al vincularse con ellas”, comenta.

Y es que el interés de Startup Grind e IBitt está centrado en impulsar la participación de la sociedad chilena en el movimiento tecnológico mediante la creación de eventos y actividades en conjunto. Como destaca Silva, la relación con IBitt es una situación “ganar-ganar”, donde ambas organizaciones comparten los mismos valores con este fin: “Con todo para Startup Grind al invitar a Sponsors a participar de nuestros eventos, busca claramente generar un ‘win-win’, ya sea por que estamos relacionados a una marca Global y de alto prestigio como es Google y el grado de afinidad del sponsor con los valores de nuestra marca, y creemos que iBitt los tiene”, declara.

Asimismo, el interés creciente en el potencial de la tecnología blockchain y de criptomonedas para mejorar los servicios financieros en la región latinoamericana no pasa desapercibido en esta alianza, lo que le dará la oportunidad a más emprendedores de beneficiarse de eventos dirigidos a explotar el potencial de soluciones con estas tecnologías, algo que Silva también prevé para este año. “El poder organizar con iBitt eventos relacionados con blockchain y las criptomonedas durante el 2019 hace aún más atractiva esta alianza”, destaca.

Intrinsic Value Defined:

Most such theories look to the process of producing an item, and the costs involved in that process, as a measure of the item’s intrinsic value.

What are some properties contained in the bitcoin itself? What are the properties that make it valuable? Some pundits like Warren Buffett seem to remain stuck in the belief that only things you can touch, feel, and see can be intrinsically valuable. One might wonder how these pundits would explain unseen forces of DNA, radio spectrum, viruses, bacteria, or even recent technological advances such as software or internet bandwidth.

Some say that gold and silver are the main standard bearer of intrinsic value mainly because of its perception and history of value. But to a starving person, a loaf of bread holds much more intrinsic value in that it might keep you alive. It doesn’t really matter to a starving person that gold has been used for 6,000 years, or that the loaf of bread might not be worth anything in a month from now.

Two valid points come from the precious metals arguments: Perception of value, and actual usefulness. For the most part, gold isn’t all that useful; based on that aspect alone, silver is much more valuable. Perception of value in gold these days is mainly propagated by those few who own it and have a vested interested in making the rest of the world continue to believe that it still does. This appears to be becoming less important as it seems to be slowly disappearing from the consciousness of the youth of the world. The only gold coins seen by much of today’s young people exist in games like Clash of Clans.

So now let’s talk about the properties that are found in bitcoin that are unique or ground-breaking. These properties did not exist before bitcoin. Some people would rightly point out that many of these properties can be duplicated. There is, however, one extremely important factor that separates bitcoin from any other digital coins on the horizon: the protective shell created by the network that prevents it from being hacked or commandeered. Keep that critical piece of knowledge in the back of your mind as we review this list. That is a titanic gulf separating bitcoin from the crowd. Bitcoin snuck up on an unsuspecting world; bitcoin 2.0, whatever that may be, will have a target on its back.

Bitcoin intrinsic value properties:

1. It transcends nations, politics, religions, cultures and regulations. These vary from country to country in ways that may seem bizarre to populations out of its own borders. While one may believe that governments always have their best interests at heart, it may be wise to see that knife cuts both ways. Some drugs are banned in certain states or countries that are allowed in others. Bibles are banned from purchase is some countries. Religion, custom, dogma, superstitions prevent various purchases based on man-made borders that continually shift over time. These policies tend to be created by limited segments of populations that can be self-serving. If one happens to be included in the “correct” political party, race, religion, items can be purchased or outlawed. It’s all opinion.

The US government bans online gambling. Is this a moral decision? Many of the same governments think it morally acceptable to hold their own state-lotteries. The lotteries hold significantly worse odds and tends to target those in the community that are the least educated and most susceptible to poverty, alcohol abuse, and have a generally poor understanding of mathematical probability. Many have gone on to say that lotteries are simply “a tax on people bad at math”. Many argue that this is a double standard of governments which prevents them from taking the moral high ground.

2. It requires no trust. (in the short term). It can’t be counterfeit. There is a record of who owns it (by wallet id) and its validity is publicly known. It requires no central clearing house. With any other currency, one must trust the government from which it is issued will continue to maintain its value by not “overprinting” to pay for its own mismanagement. You can send it globally without having to trust anybody. This is not true with any state issued country, bank, credit card company, or anybody else. Volatility and long-term trust is still building, but when one transacts in bitcoin, nobody gets in-between sender and receiver unless agreed beforehand. It’s permission-less.

3. It can be transparent. By making wallet IDs public, one can track the flow of money through other transparent wallets. You cannot do that with any other currency. You can use this feature to do things like monitor your children’s use. This can make obsolete entire industries that are built solely on the fact that money can be hidden, disguised, cheated, etc. These can also happen to bitcoin, but pressure can be applied by the people to make it transparent and accountable when needed. Auditors may insist on it for compliance. The list of possibilities of this intrinsically valuable feature can scarcely be imagined.

4. It can be programmable. Plans for product layers on top of bitcoin to further its use to become spendable based on contracts that can be programmed to complete with built in variables, or be valid to purchase only certain items. Insist your college bound kid buys books and not beer for example. Or based on GPS in a cell phone, you could send your kids off shopping and it could be programmed to be spendable only in certain stores.

5. It can require multi-signatures. Wallets containing the currency can be set to only unlock with more than one signing key. This will leave hackers and thieves frustrated. Try doing that with your grandpa’s money. It is an intrinsic piece of bitcoin technology.

6. It can be spent over the internet without a bank account, credit report, identification, and pre-permissions. Prepaid credit cards can do some of these functions, but only to locations and countries that accept credit cards. This list of locations in countries outside of the US is actually decreasing with the amount of fraud in the networks. Technically, the only item limiting of bitcoin is the merchant’s acceptance of it. Given the natural law of least resistance, these limitations could erode as more merchants around the world realize the potential savings. The network effect will continue to work its magic.

7. It can store irrevocable and time stamped records of transactions.Absolute clarity of events and their corresponding order is available in the block chain. Proof of ownership and purchase can be established without a third party. The trusted and reliable distributed ledger cannot reasonably be altered (barring a massive scale network attack which becomes less likely as the network grows).

8. It allows you to keep your identity from being stolen.Bitcoin is nobody’s debt. Paying with bitcoin isn’t a “promise to pay”. It is payment in full. This could potentially reduces fraud related expenses on massive scale. http://www.statisticbrain.com/credit-card-fraud-statistics/ There is no need for a merchant to get bank information or any other kind of personal information that can be later used in identity theft.

9. It allows movement across borders. It can defeat government issued capital controls. The same governments try to hold their own citizens “hostage” monetarily by outlawing movement of money outside its own borders. Ask any citizen from any country ravaged by hyperinflation if this is important. Could it be possible that it might ever become important in the USA? If you can foresee the day people will be clamoring to get out of the US dollar, where do you think they are going to go? Ask Argentina.

10. The same wallet can be used anywhere in the world with a connection to the internet. As the money exists on the global ledger, all you need is the key. This can be memorized, or written on any piece of paper — even confined inside a microdot the size of the period that ends this sentence. Some old time gold bugs say you can’t bribe the border guards with bitcoin like you can gold. In the future, border guards will have cellphones and internet access too. We aren’t living in the 1960s Vietnam or before any longer.

11. It can move independently of banking rules, laws, and restrictions.The people in the USA may think this unimportant in their bubble view of the world, but is this also true of the 150 or so currencies and countries with terrible track records? Which other currency enjoys this property? Will enough of the world outside of the US believe it to be so? Is it hard to imagine the properties of bitcoin being intrinsically valued by populations subjected to terrible economic policies? It only takes a billion people in India fed up with corruption to want an escape mechanism out of the control of the system. At that point, they won’t give a hoot about what some American pundit said on “bubble vision” about intrinsic value.

12. It can be used to resist corruption. If the citizens stand up united and demand a transparent government, they can use bitcoin to follow the money in the same way governments use powers at their disposal for surveillance on their own populations. In today’s world money corrupts. In tomorrow’s maybe it will become vice-versa. Let’s see if 86% of the world agrees that any tool that makes less opportunity for corruption is valuable.

13. It can be made to settle contracts without other parties. You can program it to settle contracts based on certain events such as date, proof of ownership, death, or a host of other factors that can be validated programmatically without a third party to validate if the conditions were met. It can be used as a record keeping asset tag, and proof of ownership. Ownership of the private key to the bitcoin is by definition, the owner. In addition, it can be the source record of ownership for property title, copyrights, and intellectual property that transcends borders and locally interpreted laws. In effect, the records become the de-facto “single source of truth”. The currency itself is globally accessible proof of ownership. Can these functions and properties be reasonably argued to be valuable beyond the currency itself?

14. There are no age requirements. Paying for items in a global world requires bank accounts. Bank accounts are legal properties that can only be established with those of legal age (18 in most locations). There is no minimum age requirement to pay for items globally using bitcoin. How many people under 18 have cell phones, AND need to spend money with no credit card. Smart businesses have started to recognize this intrinsically valuable potential.

15. It is more difficult to be used as surveillance. The main attributes of money are often quoted these days, but one attribute is rarely mentioned. Money has become surveillance. As people continue to learn of the horrors of the NSA and other government efforts to spy on every aspect of their lives, it only takes one person drunk with power to make all the well-intention sounding policies reverse into shocking horror. One government required Jews to register themselves for easy identification, which was then used to “dispose” of them.

Now one’s religion, race, gender, national origin, political party, age, place of work, address, and much more can be determined by how and where one spends their money. To those who think they have nothing to worry about because they are not doing anything wrong, might ask themselves, what did the Jews have to fear during the time they were self-registering? They also were not (generally) doing anything wrong. That’s only one example in a history littered with them. Is the ability to obscure one’s spending habits intrinsically valuable? Is it possible to imagine how much of the population of the world would think it is?

16. Bitcoin as money bandwidth. If one were to transfer value between large companies or nations, much of the world has discovered bitcoin to be a very efficient payment network to do this. If bitcoin was thought of as envelopes to be stuffed with dollars or other currencies for transport, only the size of the envelope itself that contains the dollars inside would be the limiting factor. To increase the ability and usefulness of this feature, the envelopes represented in bitcoin price will have to inflate enormously to take on that load. The Federal Reserve and former Vice Presidents have caught on. So has smart Venture Capitalist firms that have a knack for being one step ahead of everybody else.

17. It can be the basis of a new eco system. Right now entire new ecosystems are being built up around the new currency (in use, if not government recognition). Gold towns sprang up into eco-systems but crashed when the gold veins ran dry. We know exactly how deep the bitcoin well can go and the rate at which it will be found. What other modern day ecosystems are being built because of the intrinsic values of a currency?

18. It can upend centuries-old money monopolies. The strangleholds on monetary policy continue to be held by relatively few extremely wealthy families for centuries. Bitcoin has the possibility to change the paradigm completely. These banks will likely find ways to maintain their power and wealth and there is nothing preventing them from moving into digital currencies to maintain it. However, which other currency has the possibility to change the dynamic? Many in the world will likely place much value in the paradigm shift that is possible. When was the last time a monetary unit threatened to rewrite the rules from the ground up?

19. Democratization of money. An explosive report from a whistleblower from the World Bank reports that all networked banking infrastructure throughout the entire world can be traced back to 12 people who make decisions at the privately controlled US Federal Reserve bank. Consensus driven, public records, and democratization of money made possible by bitcoin, might change the rules.

20. Gives the unbanked population access to banking features they might not otherwise enjoy. As the much smaller digital currency M-Pesa proved, the poverty riddled villages with no access to banking were able to lift themselves out of poverty with simple abilities to pay suppliers and start businesses. With the cross border scale and usability of bitcoin, imagine the same results x 1,000. Are there any national currencies up to this task?

21. It can be extremely hard to steal. Muggers of the future will be at a loss for what to do with the bitcoin they can’t take from your wallet or purse. That money will be no good to them without the private keys to spend it. There likely will no longer be credit cards there was well. Could robbery itself become obsolete? Hackers will soon have a difficult time stealing money from multi-signature wallets.

22. It represents economic freedom. Because of all of the reasons stated above, it might as well be called the currency of freedom. Dictators will hate it. Totalitarian governments will hate it in proportion equal to the amount of corruption the government enjoys. The worst countries for freedom believe that money exist primarily to serve the country and personal ownership of it is just an illusion they can confiscate at will. Banks technically own it as soon it’s deposited. Through court order, government taxation, or inflation, they always get it back. Bitcoin offers some protection. We become our own bank.

Many people will likely debate this list. Others might be open to the suggestion that if just ONE of these factors is agreeable to most reasonable people, the description used by Wikipedia might also be applied to bitcoin. A year from now, there might be another list compiled that is just as long as this one — of things that can’t possibly be imagined today.

We are making good progress and pushing ahead with our product launches as fast as possible.

You may have read our last monthly update — https://medium.com/@investauk/investa-update-july-2018-d03788299e69

Since then, our exchange www.ibtt.co is live for testing & demo trading now. You can register and login to a trading account, check out the features and options. We have limited the trading pairs to CLP/BTC & CLP/ETH at the moment, but have many more pairs and altcoins lined up to be added soon after launch.

Our philosophy is to offer multiple FIAT banking options, so that your ability to seamlessly exchange crypto to FIAT is fast and convenient. In many crypto exchanges, FIAT options are very limited and often slow to arrive to your bank account. This is driven by the fact that many exchanges struggle to open & maintain strong banking relationships. There is a general fear of crypto in the banking world and they require intensive compliance oversight of anything they deem ‘higher risk’ - such as transferring funds to/from crypto.

Investa is aware of these banking limitations and that is why we have carefully built our platform to have multiple levels of redundancy from all our service providers. This means the risk of having services withdrawn is greatly reduced, as we are not reliant on a single point of potential failure. The ability to quickly and seamlessly switch to backup providers, as and when required gives us a huge advantage in ensuring the maximum uptime and flexibility for our users.

In order to benefit from as much goodwill as possible from our banking partners and other service providers its important that we operate a compliant and KYC driven onboarding process. This means that all our users are identified and we confirm not only their ID, but also the source of all funds transferred into our accounts. We ask that our users understand the reasons behind these extra checks, which not only safeguard everyone from unauthorised account access, but also adds legitimacy to our business as a reputable operator which adopts best practices wherever possible.

Turning to our ICO, we have announced an extension to the crowdsale which is now scheduled to end on 31st August. The reasons for this are:

• We have not reached our hard cap, or raised enough funds to fully develop our services in the best possible way.
• We are still developing our platform and have ambitions to make it much more advanced and feature rich than the MVP we are launching with
• We have received strong indication of customer demand and several market opportunities that we want to target ASAP. It seems our offering is attractive and is drawing people to contact us with partnership proposals, or other ideas.
• Our team is in training mode, preparing for launch of our platform and it helps to have a little more time to fully bed in the processes we will use to service our customers.
• A number of larger strategic investors are currently in due diligence phase and rather than shut them out with a time bar, we have extended the sale to accommodate them.

The result of all our activity and token sales will benefit the price of INV tokens. As we can launch and scale more quickly, the need for INV to be deployed across our services grows. Our users can benefit from using INV to receive discounted trading fees along with other exciting rewards such as access to our exclusive members events, or VIP trading tutorial groups.

Investa has significant plans for the future and are excited about where the industry is taking us. It appears that there is an untapped need for our services, which we fully intend to capitalise on and provide exactly what our customers have demanded from us. The time is right for a company to come out and meet these needs, with a customer-centric, flexible, convenient and fully packaged FIAT > Crypto exchange platform. We are more than just bitcoin trading, or ATMs or crypto pairs. We offer a selection of the most useful services in one easy to use integrated package.

Our fees will always be competitive and we will offer the best customer service we can, driven by a passion for what we do and a belief that we are leading the way in delivering the financial services of the new millenium. Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, as they have stood the test of time over the last 8 years since the inception of Bitcoin. Now the mainstream banking communities and institutions are dawning on the realisation that blockchain is a pervasive force, that they cannot overcome through simply blocking us out. So a new approach of inclusion, adoption and integration is leading to some exciting new possibilities for all of us. INV 2018

We are implementing various security protocols and procedures to strengthen our defences to the ever present threat of DDOS, hacking, trojans, backdoors, vuln exploits and other dark web tools to try to gain illicit access to our wallets.

We hold minimal coins in our hot wallets and operate a time delay on withdrawals with manual review process, so the ability to hack accounts and amount of coins held on exchange is low.

The risk of loss is further minimized through the manual procedures of moving coins to cold storage when we identify that any excess funds have accumulated and are not needed for immediate liquidity. Storing these funds on cold wallets ensure they cannot be hacked and keeping a minimal float in hot wallets helps to ensure our liquidity and real time trading settlement.

I’m sure users don’t mind waiting a little longer for their withdrawals, when they realise that this is one of the best ways to fight the hackers.

We are pleased to report that Investa is making good progress with development of our products.

1. Investa iBitt exchange — we have entered beta testing phase with the exchange and are undergoing security and load testing on the platform. Beta test users can register, access the trading room, view transaction history and wallet balances.

We are pleased to have integrated Tradingview charts within our trade room, so that our users can access cutting edge charting tools which are useful to any serious crypto trader.

Further advanced tools and features will be added in due course, we are traders ourselves and deeply understand what is required to deliver a sophisticated exchange platform for our users.

Further features and tools will be added to the site before launch, hopefully within a few weeks. We are pushing to have the exchange live ASAP, so we can also run our Cards and ATM network from the platform.

Our good friends at Reddcoin are helping us with security auditing the exchange & we hope they will guide us through the launch phases.

iBitt exchange will initially launch in Chile, with a range of crypto and FIAT pairings. We will be starting off with just BTC/ CLP initially, but will add pairs such as ETH, LTC and USD within a few weeks.

Exchange terms and fees are TBA, but we are operating in a competitive market and we see our offering as having significant value, especially if we can offer our token holders free /discounted trading, if they pay with INV.

We will also be looking to launch iBitt in other countries, where we can launch our exchange & offer competitive services in suitable markets. Please contact us if you see a good opportunity and can help Investa to launch in your country.

2. iBitt prepaid crypto debit card is open for pre orders.

About

Please take a look and let us know if you want to order a card!

We are limiting orders to INV token holders at the current time and our card service is also in beta test phase, but we do have some cards on route to our VIP token buyers — who have been super supportive in helping us get Investa funded in our ICO token sale.

Cards are shipped within 7days from ordering and can be delivered worldwide. We accept loading of cards with major cryptos such as BTC, ETH, LTC which will be converted to FIAT and loaded to the Mastercard for spending at over 30 million merchants globally.

iBitt card V1, is a generic interim solution to be used until we graduate to our own branded card program. We are pleased to be able to offer at least a basic card service, which others in the crypto space have been unable to provide.

INV token holders will get priority access, discounted fees and our full premium support for all our products. We are grateful for all token buyers, who really helped us get Investa going by supporting our ICO.

Our belief is that Investa should deliver real world, useful and rapidly available products to our customers. You want solutions that work together seamlessly and effortlessly, which is what we aim to provide. We have funded Investa through our own hard work, own money and own ideas from the ground up!

Thanks for joining us and stay tuned for more updates, we have a lot of activity in the pipeline and are excited for the future of Investa!

Investa have reduced our product set and removed the less popular products from our launch plans. We did this as part of a revised whitepaper and website which was updated approx 3 weeks ago.
The products that were removed were too labour and capital intensive to setup with the ICO funds we have raised so far, so we took the decision to streamline our offering.
1. Peer to peer lending platforms have struggled to capitalise in the crypto market with enough FIAT liquidity to satisfy the demand from borrowers. We looked at projects such as SALT which are seeing a hugely one sided demand from borrowers, whilst having only a few $mn of FIAT to lend out. This is a strong reason why we have removed the enterprise p2p product from our Whitepaper, plus the fact that none of our token buyers asked about this service.

2. In addition, our planned ETF Crypto Fund and Launchpad ICO incubator platform were similarly complex and lower demand products, which we have not been asked about by the community, so we took the decision to simply focus our offering on the core demand we have seen from our token buyers.

3. This is why the new Whitepaper focuses on the Investa Prepaid Crypto Cards, ATMs and our new Crypto Exchange.
These products are in development and can be launched within a short period, meaning that we will be running a profitable and manageable suite of complimentary services which are still part of our original project plan.
A true digital banking platform, which enables our users to seamlessly transfer crypto to FIAT in a convenient way.

We believe that this is in the best interests of our token buyers, who are the ones that have shown they believe in our project by supporting us with their coins. We continue to engage in discussions with our community via our telegram chat 24/7 and are always open to hearing ideas and suggestions on how to improve our product/ market fit. join us at t.me/investaco

It is our belief that Investa is one of the only ICO’s to be focused on using our INV token to make profit from quick to market products, which have real business cases and proven demand. So many ICO’s are selling fantastic ideas and protocol concepts — which investors seem to be super excited about (EOS, fantom, quarkchain, edenchain) but they all have zero real demand in the current market for their ‘solutions’
Investa is the opposite approach, we will not change the world thru our advanced tech, we will do it thru our effective and logical application of existing tech — just like Apple have proven so successfully!
Come and join us, we will do it together…

The counterdown has started & the pre-sale round of Investa’s ICO is underway, until June 30, prior to the public sale. Investa plans to raise a hard cap of $30 million through its ICO and the team is currently working to deliver a successful project.

Already, Investa has entered Due Diligence with several crypto syndicates, pools, whales and crypto VC funds. The team is confident in its capacity to close these commitments in the next few weeks. Following the DD process, the private sale amount raised should exceed $5 million. Investa is relying on the investments of such partners to stimulate public interest and demonstrate the future demand for the platform via a network of ambassadors and investors who are committed to the success of the project.

Investa initiated discussions with some strategic partners, Reddcoin is an illustration of this. Thus, Reddcoin, with a $250m market cap and 50,000 community followers, is exploring a partnership with Investa to leverage its platform and to offer a Reddcoin-backed Debit card and network of global ATMs. Reddcoin is the social currency that makes digital currency easy for the general public.

https://www.reddit.com/r/reddCoin/comments/8frcvi/reddcoin_core_announces_rdd_debit_card_atm/

Investa is very active on social networks as it provides a means of strengthening communication. It is an important strategic tool and has already become the preferred means of information and communication within Investa.

The Twitter community (@investaco_uk) is also more and more important (14,2k). Investa considers Twitter to be a primary means of communication.

Investa is also represented on Facebook (@InvestaUK), although less focussed with approx 8,5k followers.

As the CEO of Investa, Nick Moore is taking care of distributing information through his LinkedIn account, since he is connected with approximately 10k crypto & executive level contacts.

Investa already count 36 articles available in English, Russian, Portuguese, Norwegian on number of websites commonly followed by the crypto community such as digitaleconomy.com, Bitcointalk, steemit.com, etc.

Investa debit card will be KYC verified and operated in a licensed environment in order to provide a bridge between crypto and traditional banking networks, which are increasingly risk averse.

Investa offers a unique platform of complimentary crypto services which work in tandem to enable our users to manage and invest their Crypto in a managed portfolio. Investa has been engineered to offer best in class crypto fund management, ICO investment, lending, prepaid debit card and ATM network.

Some of the main competitors to Investa are TenX, Monaco and TokenCard:

TenX has raised close to US$80 million from a token sale on June 24, 2017. TenX offers a debit card and mobile wallet, that can be funded with Bitcoin, Ether, and Dash. The TenX Wallet enables users to spend instantly their blockchain assets through their smartphone or a physical debit card -at over 36 million points of acceptance online and offline.

TenX (PAY) market cap as of April 30, 2018: $173m USD — a 2.5x multiple from ICO price.

Monaco raised over US$26.7 million through a Token Sale event, which ran from May 18th to June 18th, 2017. Monaco accepts Ether or Bitcoin to load a physical Monaco VISA® Card. FX at Interbank rates, no regular fees for use of the Monaco Card, or global ATM withdrawals.

Monaco (MCO) market cap as of April 30, 2018: $188m USD — 6x multiple from ICO price.

TokenCard raised over US$16.7 million from a token sale on May 2, 2017. TokenCard is a depositless Ethereum token-based debit card & platform. TokenCard is a debit card powered by smart contracts incorporating the VISA payments network with Ethereum. Thus, token holders are able to use Ether as well as other ERC20 tokens to purchase items anywhere that accepts VISA debit cards.

TokenCard (TKN) market cap as of April 30, 2018: $55m USD — 3.3x multiple from ICO price.

But what make Investa different from other platform and coins?

A large range of banking services inside a unique platform!

A very important division of the Investa ecosystem is the implementation of an ATM network that will allow Investa client 2-way ATM services spread out throughout all of the LATAM region and some European countries, thus allowing the purchase of crypto currencies, exchange and withdraw to local fiat.

By using Investa e-wallet, in conjunction with one of the Debit Cards, users can spend freely their cryptocurrencies without having to wait for an exchanger and transfer of cryptos from one place to another.

Investa’s Investments division offer several programs options for coinholders and investor in general to obtain revenue. Upon investment term completion, the capital invested will be returned to the investor. At this point the investor can optionally reinvest back in lending platform to continue receiving daily profit interest or transfer their funds out.

Exchanging cryptocurrency through Investa’s platform will allow traders to maximize their profits (Investa features a 0.5% trading fees) and avoid high fees to deposit and withdraw FIAT currencies. Moreover, Investa’s platform will allow real-time trading in order to ensure maximum liquidity and availability for users and avoid delayed order book updates especially when the market get “hot”.
