Mpesa Compe00on Gcash A QUICK GLANCE AT THE NEW CURRENCY SPACE Today, cryptocurrencies and mobile money are growing, but not in a way we believe to be the most convenient for users in the long term. Local convenience Mobile Money PayPal Transfer Wise ETH Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are difficult to use, money transfer solu-ons like Western Union are expensive and either imprac-cal or require access to banking, and mobile wallets like mpesa are too local to be of any use for remirances or global e-commerce. Telcoin will increase usefulness and adop0on of Mobile Money. Western Union Money Transfer Solu-ons Global availability BTC Tradi-onal Cryptocurrencies
Challenges THE LARGEST OBSTACLES BETWEEN US AND THE MARKET Regula0ons Security Telcos environment The current regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies is not entirely clear, but we are confident the trust resulting from our relationships with operators will help us complying with regulators. Security is still a major issue in the blockchain world. Among other points, we will use the most secure wallets and invest heavily in R&D for multiple areas like a new smart contract programming language. Our business model will heavily depend on our relationships with Telcos. Our experience in the field allowed us to design our incentive model to reduce friction to a minimum.
The raise: Ini0al Coin Offering (ICO) Unlike most startups, Telcoin will raise funds through selling its product directly, turning supporters and investors into users. This process is called an ICO, standing for Ini-al Coin Offering. In November 2017, users will have the opportunity to buy Telcoin at a low price, before the currency is officially distributed by mobile operators.
