<span class="s1">Isle of Man - 1 September 2015- <a href="https://www.cryptonext.net/"><span class="s2">Crypto Next</span></a> today announces its <a href="https://cryptonext.net/?page=products#cashier"><span class="s2">Cashier Point System</span></a>, whereby any user on any of the company’s white label exchanges can apply to become a cash distribution point, much like a digital, global exchange bureau. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">Users that have signed up for the service can accept and distribute currency using the Crypto Next platform as a transfer means, and move funds across the globe from one cashier point to another, for a fraction of the price of traditional exchange systems. According to the World Bank, sending remittances costs an average of 7.68 percent. With the Crypto Next, the cashier points set their own commission rates, which can be as low as 0% (if they choose to be generous).</span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">Applying to become a cashier point is a free service provided by the digital currency platform and its white label exchange operators, which include <a href="http://www.bitcoinsgreece.com/"><span class="s2">www.bitcoinsgreece.com</span></a>, <a href="http://www.bitcoinxromania.com/"><span class="s2">www.bitcoinxromania.com</span></a>, <a href="http://www.targoexchange.com/"><span class="s2">www.targoexchange.com</span></a>, <a href="http://www.coinqx.com/"><span class="s2">www.coinqx.com</span></a> to name a few. In order to qualify, users must merely provide AML/KYC documentation and apply for the service via the Crypto Next or the white label platform. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">“Organisations have been trying to use digital currency as a remittance service since the adoption of bitcoin, with mixed success. Our service now offers a simple, global solution that allows anyone to become a remittance point,”</span><span class="s3"> </span><span class="s1">says Crypto Next CEO Sharon Greenberg. </span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p5">
<span class="s1">Greek exchange <a href="http://www.bitcoinsgreece.com/"><span class="s2">http://www.bitcoinsgreece.com</span></a> has already signed up for the cashier service and is successfully providing a comprehensive solution to capital controls restricting the movement of currency out of Greece.

<br />
<br />
Hellascoin has more than doubled its market cap since the start of the month, dwarfing the percentage gains made by bitcoin in the same period, and prompting cryptocurrency proponents to predict that the altcoin will play a significant role within the Greek economy in the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
Greece looks set to default on a debt repayment to the IMF on 30 June of €1.5bn ($1.7bn, £1.06bn), causing banks to be closed and limits on cash withdrawals from ATMs to be put in place. On Sunday (6 July), a 'no' vote in a referendum will see the country taking the first steps towards leaving the euro.<br />
<br />
Helascoin's value has more than doubled since the beginning of June (Hellascoin)<br />
<br />
In the face of such economic uncertainty, Greek citizens have been looking towards alternative forms of investment, causing a spike in the price of bitcoin earlier this month.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, according to the founder of Greek's largest digital currency platform, Bitcoins Greece, it is hellascoin that has been the been the biggest surprise.<br />
<br />
<br />
"A Grexit is likely to result in a weak Greek Fiat currency, as well as a psychological crisis of identity for the Greek people," Bitcoins Greece founder Elenu Varela toldIBTimes UK.<br />
<br />
<br />
"I believe these two factors are likely to lead to a higher demand, not just for digital financial assets, but for specifically Greek financial assets such as the hellascoin."<br />
<br />
<br />
Varela believes that a Grexit will cause hellascoin's star to rise even further and predicts its trade could increase tenfold in the coming weeks.<br />
<br />
<br />
In anticipation of its increased relevance, 129 Greek companies have so far applied to accept <a href="http://grcoin.gr/">hellascoin</a> as a payment method, while the cryptocurrency is currently in negotiations for funding that could total more than €1m.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is not the first time that a crisis in the eurozone has led people to turn to cryptocurrencies, most notably the banking collapse in Cyprus in 2013. During this time the price of bitcoin increased tenfold and made many people aware for the first time of the concept of cryptocurrency.<br />
<br />
<br />
"During times of economic uncertainty, people invest in 'safe havens' such as gold," Varela said. "Nowadays, digital assets like bitcoin have joined that asset class. Because cryptocurrencies are global and do not rely on a healthy banking system, it is logical for people to stockpile them in times of uncertainty.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Another trend that has been observed is that 'community currencies' thrive in times of economic uncertainty, so cryptocurrencies like hellascoin will very likely be in much higher demand in the event of a Grexit."</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Douglas, Isle of Man - 1st of July 2015 - The first official Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on white label platform, <a href="http://www.cryptonext.net/" target="_blank">Crypto Next</a>, is being launched by <a href="http://altbitex.com/">Altbitex.com</a> from 1 July 2015 and will run for two weeks until 15th July 2015.</div>
<br />
Crypto Next is proud to announce the addition of ICO functionality to the Crypto Next platform, which will allow new Altcoins to approach Crypto Next, or any of its white label operators, in order to launch a new coin.<br />
<br />
ICO functionality will work using the platform's existing coin trading mechanism, whereby coin trade will be restricted to a specific account with the unique ability to set the market. This will allow the market-maker to define a fixed number of coins at a fixed price, and create markets against any supported currency. Once the ICO is complete, the system will allow coin holders to immediately market them against any chosen currency.<br />
<br />
The first Coin ICO on the Crypto Next platform is the <a href="https://euros.international/" target="_blank">International Euro</a> (IEURO), running from 01/07/2015 12:00 CET until 15/07/2015 12:00 CET.<br />
<br />
For more information about launching your own ICO, or operating a white label on the Crypto Next platform, please contact us on <a href="mailto:admin@cryptonext.net">admin@cryptonext.net</a><br />

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">London - 25 June 2015 - Traffic at <a href="http://bitcoinsgreece.com/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s2">bitcoinsgreece.com</span></a>, the largest digital currency exchange in the Greek market, has surged over the last few days - but not for the reasons you might expect. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">As talks of a Greek exit from the Euro Zone reach a critical point, the popularity of the digital currency bitcoin has noticeably increased, but bitcoin may not be the digital answer to Greece’s problems as an alternative contender has entered the scene. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Despite bitcoin’s steady rise of around five percent since Monday, according to the Coindesk, interest in<a href="http://grcoin.gr/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s2">HellasCoin</span></a> (HLC), the only Greek digital currency, has increased even more significantly. Data provided by Bitcoins Greece suggests its popularity has grown by more than 100% since the beginning of June.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Hellas Coin, which was recently integrated into the Bitcoins Greece exchange, is the first Greek Digital currency, and Bitcoins Greece Founder, Eleni Varela, believes its trade could increase by tenfold in the coming weeks. She says, </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">“As Greece’s primary digital currency exchange, it was important for us to integrate a coin that was specifically Greek. It is especially significant now that the Greek economy is again in the spotlight, as is demonstrated by the increased interest in HellasCoin on our platform”</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Bitcoins Greece is the only platform in the Greek market offering trading for all cryptocurrencies, available in the Greek language and also providing customer support in Greek. Powered by white label payments platform, <a href="http://www.cryptonext.net/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s2">Crypto Next</span></a>, that provides the exchange’s regulatory framework, shared order book and language capabilities, Bitcoins Greece aims to dominate the Greek digital currency market, and is responsible for bringing the first BTC ATM to Greece. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p4">
<span class="s1">To date, 129 Greek companies have applied to accept HellasCoin as a payment method and a HellasCoin ambassador exists in every Greek city, totaling over 240 ambassadors nationwide. Hellascoin is undergoing funding negotiations for over one million Euros.</span></div>

<b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

Crypto Next will then add the coin to the platform, which will make it available for deposit. Developers or coin holders will logically then have to deposit some of the currency into the system for it to appear on the exchange.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

The unique feature that Crypto Next is offering is that any coin can be paired against any currency, including Fiat currencies. The market pairings are set by the user depositing the digital currency in the system, and are restricted only by the availability of other coins on the platform. </span></div>

Although it is up to the individual white label operators whether they wish to include the newly registered currencies, coin developers have the potential list their currency on multiple exchanges worldwide.</span></div>

Now, they can create their market. To get on to existing exchanges, they often need to be voted in, and then stay popular for long enough not to get delisted. With Crypto Next, they just need to integrate their currency. Obviously, coins will be deleted in certain cases, for example if the wallet stops working, the development halts etc. but as long as the wallet is operational, it can be listed.”</span></div>

In addition to providing multiple languages, multiple currencies, banking facilities and a regulatory framework, the Crypto Next platform adds security through vertical decentralisation as well as Isle of Man regulations that state that funds in the exchange be controlled by a Corporate Service Provider, such that fiat currencies in the network are secured by an independent third party.</span></div>

All the exchanges in the network share Crypto Next’s unique tokenised fee system, whereby transaction fees can be paid for with the Crypto Next Coin (CXC), potentially saving savvy digital currency traders a great deal in fees. All white label exchanges are subject to the company’s rigorous AML, CFT Policy in accordance with Isle of Man regulations.</span></div>

Welcome to our May 2015 report on technology updates, bug fixes and added features to the Crypto Next platform, aimed at exchange users, white label operators and the general public.<br />

<b><u>Completed Tasks</u></b></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br />
<br />
- The <a href="https://www.cryptonext.net/?page=markets">Public Markets Page</a> has been completed and White Labels (WLs) can now display the page on their front end. Note: The page will only display the markets as selected in the White Label control panel.<br />
<br />
- The Astropay system has now been fully integrated and the Crypto Next platform supports deposits and withdrawals in Brazilean Real, Chilean Peso, Mexican Peso, Peruvian Nuevo Sol, Uruguayan Peso, Argentine Peso and Colombian Peso.<br />
<br />
- The Create Your Own Market Pair feature now allows anyone to set their own markets. Crypto Next will add any digital currency to the platform (for a fee of BTC 2 to cover the installation costs) and as such <b>any Digital Currency can now be traded against any other currency</b> (including fiat!). Crypto Next will install the currency, but it is up to the digital currency holders to create an account, deposit the currency and establish the markets.<br />
<br />
- A <a href="https://www.cryptonext.net/?page=currencies" target="_blank">currency and fees page</a> has been added to show the currencies supported by the platform, and the fees charged in the system. Each WL sets their own fees in the control panel, and this page is available to be added to their front end.<br />
<br />
- An additional safety feature has been added: User accounts can now be suspended by modules (login, deposits (dc/fiat), trades (dc/fiat), transfers (dc/fiat), withdrawals (dc/fiat)) so that specific activity rights can be removed from a user's account in the case of suspicious activity, allowing WL to quickly react if a dubious activity is identified on a user account.<br />
<br />
- <a href="https://www.cryptonext.net/terms.php?page=amlkyc" target="_blank">AML/CFT</a> policy has been added to the <a href="https://www.cryptonext.net/login.php?action=register" target="_blank">registration page</a>.<br />
<br />
- Deposits, withdrawals and transfers have been separated, on the request of our accountants, so the system can be audited more easily by auditors at year end. This will also allow for faster audits to prove all currencies are where they are supposed to be. It is Crypto Next's intention to show all the balances on the system at all times and provide a quarterly (possibly even monthly) report of proof of funds signed off by the auditors (fiat and internal tokens) and of course the blockchains themselves for digital currencies.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Pending Tasks</u></b><br />
<br />
- 2.0 Assets to be traded<br />
<br />
- App (Unfortunately this has been delayed a little as the work is being done by an external team)</div>

This article first appeared in <a href="http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2014/10/13/market-product-one-understands" target="_blank">TheNextWeb</a>. Written by Crypto Next CEO Sharon Greenberg</div>
<h1 class="article-title entry-title" itemprop="headline" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif; font-size: 2.25em; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0.75em; position: relative; text-align: center;">
How to market a product no one understands</h1>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em;">The hi-tech world is all about innovation, but selling a spanking new product or service can be a daunting prospect when your target audience has little or no understanding of what it is you do. If you don’t know where to start with marketing your business, here’s my guide to selling a product no one understands.</span></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Educate your audience</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The first thing you need to do is educate your audience. Establish your target market, then provide informative materials using engaging media such as infographics, videos and simplified guides to effectively communicate the problem that your product is solving, and explain why your audience needs it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Don’t assume any foreknowledge, but don’t talk down to your audience either; use images, analogies, graphs and figures – and if possible, humor – to avoid sounding patronizing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Providing informative materials and engaging on online forums or platforms such as <a href="http://quora.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Quora</a> will not only help explain your product but will also generate interest from the right people, and quickly establish you as an industry expert in a field which is not yet saturated with digital content.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<a href="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/05/Quora-search.jpg" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Quora search 730x280 How to market a product no one understands" class="aligncenter size-fullwidth_post wp-image-627190" src="http://cdn1.tnwcdn.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2013/05/Quora-search-730x280.jpg" height="280" style="-webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" title="How to market a product no one understands" width="730" /></a></div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Put the horse before the cart</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Often, it is not your just product that requires explanation but the system on which the product is based. For example, my company provides platforms for digital currencies such as Bitcoin. Before I can market my platform, I often have to explain digital currencies and their merits; only then can I sell the products that complement their use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
As above, providing informative materials, giving talks, blogging and sharing industry news will make people associate your brand with this new area of business, giving you a strong first mover advantage.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Repetition, repetition, repetition</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
When your product is not well known or understood, purposely making your target audience hear about it often will create a level of familiarity that can add credibility and spark the curiosity to learn more. There are plenty of inexpensive online advertising solutions that are designed to re-appear, thus planting your brand firmly in the consciousness of your customer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Make sure you post content regularly on social platforms and repost some of your more successful entries. You can use time-saving tools and applications to<a href="http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2014/07/10/10-time-saving-social-media-tools-can-actually-enjoy-vacation/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">schedule social media posts in advance</a>.</div>

Try to attend conferences and events regularly and put your name on everything you can get your hands on – cheap<a href="http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2014/10/02/land-sponsors-event-blog-conference/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> sponsorships at local events</a> can get your brand seen by the right people and in a new market that can actually work.</div>

Keep it light hearted</h3>

Humor is a great way to break the ice, and with products that are unfamiliar, this persona is even more important. The emergence of social network platforms as important marketing tools has affected the type of content that is acceptable in business.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Lighthearted materials with a good blob of personality are no longer seen as unprofessional – just be cautious and keep them tasteful.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Quote facts and statistics</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You can’t argue with well-researched, carefully-sourced facts and figures. This will add credibility to your pitch or marketing materials and inspire confidence in both you and your product.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Remember to include the source of any external information that you use, as well as the date or broader context if applicable. When using images, graphs or figures, make sure that you are not in breach of any restrictions on use.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Create excellent materials and be social about it</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
There is nothing worse than marketing materials that contain mistakes, or a<a href="http://thenextweb.com/dd/2014/10/10/3-reasons-marketing-needs-better-design-focus/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">poorly-designed website</a>. Take the time to create professional-looking tools that keep with the latest technological developments, and ask for help with proof-reading.</div>

Consumers expect hi-tech companies to have a broad understanding of social networking and online marketing tools. Regularly maintaining social network profiles, posting intelligent content, having a kick-ass website and polished presentations will show your consumers, investors and community that you know what you are doing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Even if your product is brand new, there will always be a small community of people who understand it. Connecting with them on social outlets can open doors and provide invaluable insights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Use online and offline methods to engage with those who do understand your product, or the technology it is based on, and find out how they came to discover it, why they are drawn to it and what their concerns are. This can help you better understand your target audience, adapt your marketing strategy and engage your community to <a href="http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2014/04/19/grow-awesome-community-fuel-social-startup/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">build a fan base</a>.</div>

Be approachable</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Be friendly in your messaging and encourage consumers to communicate with you by sounding <a href="http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2014/05/24/selling-customer-service-turn-customers-brand-evangelists/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">open and approachable</a>. A great example is a charming message that I received from <a href="http://bufferapp.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Buffer</a> when I signed up for the service:</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: white; border-left-color: rgb(232, 232, 232); border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 3px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1.125em;">
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
“I’m guessing it’s not every day that you sign up for a new service. That’s why I want to make sure everything is in place for you to feel welcome and at home. On the slightest whim, please drop us a line or Tweet us.”</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Social platforms may seem to have taken over traditional methods of communication, but sometimes consumers just want to pick up a phone. Make sure that your telephone, fax and email details are available on your website, and provide extra communication tools such as live chat or a quick contact form.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #4e5860; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.6em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Where possible, provide personal email addresses and direct telephone numbers for staff members so that they can be contacted directly.</div>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'FF Tisa', Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 0.625em; padding: 0px;">
Remain open minded</h3>

Test different strategies for online and offline marketing and keep in mind that you may have to adapt your methods. <a href="http://thenextweb.com/dd/2014/08/04/analyzing-data-with-conversion-funnels/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Analytics</a> are an essential tool for tracking real results not just perceived successes, and are provided by most online platforms.</div>

Tools such as <a href="http://simplymeasured.com/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #ff3c1f; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">SimplyMeasured</a> provide free social media analytics reports across a variety of platforms.

A new thing is an exciting thing, and your enthusiasm will rub off on your consumers if you share it. Don’t hold back on your affection for your product – let it shine through and others will love it too.</div>

If you are considering traveling on bitcoin this year, there are now many colorful destinations to choose from. Crypto Next has put together a list of the best places to go on a bitcoin vacation. Happy travels!</div>

1. Bali</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This Indonesian paradise island requires little introduction as a dream vacation destination, but did you know that it is possible to buy everything from souvenirs to hotels and airline tickets in Bali with bitcoin? The tropical island even offers some discounts for those who opt to pay with the digital currency. Here are some of our favorites:<br />
<br />
The first thing you'll need is accommodation, and the <a href="http://www.bitislands.com/">Bitcoin Tour</a> travel agency offers discounts of up to 75% on hotel reservations made in bitcoin. Hotels that accept bitcoin range from the luxury 5* <a href="http://www.viceroybali.com/">Viceroy Bali</a>, to the budget W-House <a href="http://citrustreevillas.com/">Citrus Tree</a> B&B, or for an authentic Bali experience, you can head to the <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/611880">Dragon Pyramid</a> homestay. <br />

Or for something totally original, who not try your hand at <a href="http://www.sepedabali.com/">Sependa Bali</a> cycling recycling! <br />
<br />

2. Netherlands<br />
<br />
<br />
Best known for their cultural capital, Amsterdam, the Netherlands are fast becoming a bitcoin hotspot, and leading the Dutch bitcoin revolution is the City of Arnhem. The <a href="http://www.arnhembitcoinstad.nl/" target="_blank">Arnhem Bitcoincity</a> initiative was launched by three friends in May of 2014 as a one night pub crawl, but now 50 merchants across the city accept bitcoin, including 26 bars and restaurants and 17 shops. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Travel to Arnhem and you will be able to find almost everything in bitcoin, including 26 bars and restaurants, 13 shops, a supermarket, a <a href="http://www.postmasters.nl/arnhem" target="_blank">post office</a>, flower shop and even a <a href="http://joszwaan.nl/" target="_blank">massage therapist</a>. Start your visit at <a href="http://www.roseslounge.com/" target="_blank">Roses' Lounge</a>, a "dinner dance lounge" that boasts music events, restaurant and even a city beach! For a quick bite, pop into <a href="http://omnom.nl/" target="_blank">Omnom</a> noodle shop, raw food eatery <a href="http://www.rawsome-food.nl/#/Home" target="_blank">Rawsome Food</a> or Indian restaurant, <a href="http://www.kohinoorofindia.nl/" target="_blank">Kohinoor</a>. For a more formal affair, head to <a href="http://www.cafe-verheyden.nl/" target="_blank">Cafe Verheyden</a> for a traditional sit-down dinner.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
If you fancy a spot of bitcoin shopping, there are 17 shops to choose from that accept payment in bitcoin, selling fare that ranges from <a href="http://www.mimint.nl/" target="_blank">health food</a> to <a href="http://www.bergsportwinkel.nl/" target="_blank">adventure sports gear</a>. In fact, so many establishments accept bitcoin that you barely have to pack; if you run out of clothes, buy your eco friendly T-shirts at <a href="http://okimono.nl/" target="_blank">Okimono</a>. Forgot you headsets? No problem, get them and other <a href="http://www.wifimedia.eu/" target="_blank">electronics</a> in bitcoin. Ready to move on? Get you <a href="http://www.denoorderzon.nl/" target="_blank">travel guides and maps</a> in Arnhem.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
But if the big city lights call whilst in Holland, you can always enjoy your bitcoin at the <a href="http://www.bitcoinboulevard.nl/" target="_blank">Bitcoin Boulevard</a> in the Hague or the <a href="http://www.bitstraat.nl/" target="_blank">Amsterdam</a> Bitcoin City project.<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Jersey<br />
<br />
The Island of Jersey lies between the coasts of England and France and is vying for the spot of "Bitcoin Isle". Although its focus is mainly on delivering business services to bitcoin companies, it's rich cultural history, wildlife and shopping opportunities also make it a popular holiday destination. Now that local businesses are beginning to accept bitcoin, we have a great excuse to make an "essential business trip" to the charming Channel Islands. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://plus.google.com/116989767372998132502/about?hl=en">The Forum Bar</a> at Jersey's Capital, St Helier, is a traditional free house (or bar to the rest of us) and now accepts bitcoin. Another popular watering hole, although offering a different kind of tipple, is <a href="http://www.tiffinteahouse.je/">Tiffin Tea House</a>, with its luxury champagne bar and restaurant. For some bitcoin shopping, head to <a href="http://www.tibstreetjersey.uk/">Tib Street</a> and enjoy a whole new wardrobe, Jersey style.<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
4. Isle of Man<br />
<br />
Famous for its pro-BTC attitude and, like Jersey, a contender for the title of "Bitcoin Isle", the IOM is more of a business location than a vacation destination. However, the island's overwhelming support for bitcoin enthusiasts (and its status as Crypto Next's home country) meant that we had to include it in the vacation list. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The charming little island, with an established population of high-net-worth individuals, is not all work and no play, with attractions such as: fantastic restaurants, a low crime rate, and breathtaking scenery. Given its size, the Isle of Man offers relatively plentiful locations to spend your bitcoin. <a href="http://www.thirstypigeon.com/" target="_blank">The Thirsty Pigeon</a>, and the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Java-Express-Coffee-Shop-Noodle-Bar/129290450474431" target="_blank">Java express</a> coffee shop and noodle bar, both in the island’s capital of Douglas, now accept Bitcoin payments. The Thirsty Pigeon is also home to The Isle of Man's first bitcoin ATM, launched by QwikBit. <br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Isle of Man offers a great deal of security to the customers of BTC companies via the Financial Supervision Committee (<a href="http://www.gov.im/fsc/" target="_blank">FSC</a>). The tax system in place on the island also offers favorable terms, not only to the trading and mining of the currency, but even to its general usage. That, alongside bitcoin incubators, and a number of Corporate Service Providers that now accept the digital currency, make the island very attractive to bitcoin startups. Notably, six businesses, including Wi-Manx, Dixcart, KPMG, and the national postal service, now offer either free or discounted services for bitcoin startups in order to help produce innovation in the marketplace. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
Peter Greenhill, the Director of E-Business in the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development said in his statement to Crypto Next, "we welcome this announcement by Crypto Next plc and are pleased to have them join the growing number of quality Digital Currency businesses who are selecting the Isle of Man as their jurisdiction of choice. Their acceptance of our insistence to adhering to full AML/KYC regulations and then applying for formal registration by our Financial Supervision Commission will help us to ensure that the consumers are protected and that we keep crime out."<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Spain</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For a destination with a (big) difference, you can head to Calafou, a small, “postcapitalist eco-industrial colony" just outside Barcelona in Spain. Not your typical vacation destination (in fact, Calafou's <a href="https://calafou.org/" target="_blank">website</a> states it is not looking for vacationers but for supportive visitors) this is an abandoned factory where a group of activists have created a home and workspace where they can exist away from a traditional capitalist society and cultivate their "ideas, passions, experiences and visions". </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The nature of Calafou, also affectionately known as Hackafou, means that it is not always open to visitors, but if you can drag yourself away from Barcelona's beaches and tapas bars on a Saturday, the centre is open from 10am, complete with guided tours, and you can even stay for dinner for a small fee of approximately 2 Euros. (Please note, Calafou's website warns that it is not suitable for children or pets.) If you wish to stay for longer, bearing in mind the maximum available stay is 15 days, you can request an extended visit in advance and will have to wait for confirmation before arrival. <br />
<br />
Perhaps not the most relaxing getaway, or a vacation in the strictest sense, Calafou none-the-less promises an inspiring and unique experience for bitcoin enthusiasts.</div>
<div>
<br />
<br />
6. Australia<br />
<br />
Back to more exotic destinations, who hasn't dreamed of going to Australia?<br />
<br />
The Tasmanian City of Lanceston, with a population of 106,000, is our next bitcoin destination. Launceston's business owners and government are planning to build the world's largest local bitcoin economy, calling it the '<a href="https://twitter.com/launnylaunch" target="_blank">Launceston Launch</a>'. They are encouraging tourists to visit and spend bitcoin there, using Sydney-based payment processor <a href="http://bitpos.me/">BitPOS</a>. <br />
<br />
The Launceston Launch promotors have big ambitions, with retail, trading and even real estate projects aimed at the bitcoin market. According to Australian publication <a href="http://www.themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/tasmanias-first-bitcoin-atm-opens-in-launceston/story-fnj4f7k1-1227183495527" target="_blank">The Mercury</a> in January 2015, Launceston Launch's Bitcoin Director Adam Poulton announced Tasmania's first bitcoin ATM and confirmed a total of 12 Launceston businesses that accept bitcoin. <br />
<br />
With its temperate climate and historical buildings, the second biggest city in Tasmania is already a popular tourist hub, although it would seem that the bitcoin-based project, also known as “Reactivate Launceston” is being used to boost the city's tourism industry - which is fine by us so long as we get to go down under!<br />

Regular groceries can now be bought in bitcoin from Walmart or Sam's Club using Gyft, but we guess you already knew that. What you perhaps didn't know is that you can also buy specialty foods that can be used to make mouthwatering thanksgiving dishes! Here are some of our favorites:<br />

<b>Item: Ginger infused honey</b><br />
From: bitdazzle.com<br />
Price: 0.01638 BTC<br />
Saving: 30%<br />
<br />
<b>Recipe: Honey Brined Smoked Turkey</b><br />
<div>
Adapted from Alton Brown Recipe on the Food Network</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ingredients:<br />
1 gallon hot water<br />
1 pound kosher salt<br />
2 quarts vegetable broth<br />
1 pound ginger infused honey<br />
1 (7-pound) bag of ice<br />
1 (15 to 20-pound) cleaned turkey<br />
Vegetable oil or butter</div>
<div>
<br />
Directions:</div>
<div>
Dissolve salt in hot water then add the vegetable broth and the ginger infused honey. Add the ice and stir until the water is cold. Place the turkey in the brine making sure it is fully submerged. Leave in the fridge overnight, or up to 12 hours.</div>
<div>
<br />
Remove the turkey from the brine, rinse in cold water and pat dry. Rub the bird thoroughly with the vegetable oil or butter.<br />
<br />
Heat the grill to 400 degrees F.<br />
<br />
Using a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil, build a smoker: Place a cup of hickory or other wood chips in the center of the foil and gather up the edges, to make pouch. Leave the pouch open at the top and set it directly on the grill's charcoal or on the metal bar over the gas flame. Set the turkey over indirect heat and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast meat. Close the lid and cook for approximately 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.<br />
<br />
Once the bird reaches 160 degrees F, remove from grill, cover with aluminum foil, brush with ginger infused honey and allow to rest for 1 hour before serving.</div>

<b>Item: NEFT vodka </b></div>

Price: Approx. $50</div>

<div>
<b>Recipe: Spiced Vodka Pumpkin Soup </b></div>
<div>
Adapted from The Vodka Cookbook</div>
<div>
<br />
This dish can be made with traditional pumpkin, but we prefer butternut squash for a more delicate flavor.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 large butternut squash or small pumpkin, peeled and chopped<br />
1 white onion, finely chopped<br />
3 tbsps fresh grated ginger<br />
1tsp salt<br />
Good quality chicken stock<br />
3 rashers bacon, chopped<br />
1 tbsp butter<br />
Heavy cream to garnish<br />
Spice mix<br />
2 tbsp NEFT vodka<br />
<br />
Spice mix:<br />
Coriander, white pepper, cumin, curry and cinnamon to taste<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Melt the butter in a heavy pan and add the chopped onion on a low heat. When translucent, add the bacon and fry until cooked. Add the ginger and squash/pumpkin and cover with the stock. Simmer for approximately half an hour or until the meat is very soft, or cook in a pressure cooker for 10 minutes after pressure has been reached.<br />
<br />
Take the pan off the heat and allow to cool slightly before blending to a fine puree. Push through a sieve to remove lumps and return to the pan. <br />
<br />
Cook on a low heat, and add the spice mixture and vodka. Season to taste and allow soup to cook for about five minutes to allow alcohol to evaporate. <br />
<br />
Serve hot with a swirl of heavy cream.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Item: Organic Meat</b><br />
Meat lovers in Birmingham Alabama will be pleased to know that Freshfully sells: Benton's bacon, Miller beef, Joyce Farms chicken, and Fudge Farms pork! Here is a great recipe for Miller's family raised, grass fed beef that lets the meat shine. This requires a cooking method known as sous vide, which creates the most amazing, perfect steak. It takes some equipment and patience, but it will yield the best steak you have ever had!<br />
<br />
<b>Recipe: Sous Vide Steak</b><br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
Beef- choose your favorite steak cut<br />
Butter, melted<br />
Fresh thyme sprig<br />
Salt & pepper<br />
Large, quality ziplock bag<br />
Meat thermometer<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Choose your preferred doneness and heat a large pan of water to that temperature. Find a burner setting that keeps the water temperature constant with the help of the thermometer:<br />
<br />
For rare: 129 °F<br />
For medium-rare: 135 °F<br />
For medium: 140 °F<br />
For medium-well: 147 °F </div>
<div>
<br />
Place the melted butter and thyme into the ziplock bag, season the steak and place that in the bag too. Keeping the bag unzipped, place the bag with the contents into a bowl of cold water to remove the air. Zip the bag closed when all the air has been removed, making sure no water goes in.<br />
<br />
Place the sealed bag into the pan and cook until the internal temperature of the steak reaches the water bath temperature. Exact times will depend on the steak size and chosen doneness but here is an approximate guide:<br />
<br />
For a 0.5 in thick steak - approx. 15 minutes.<br />
For a 1 in thick steak - approx. 45 minutes</div>
<div>
For a 1.5 in thick steak t- approx. 90 minutes.</div>
<div>
For a 2 in thick steak - approx. 2 hours.<br />
<br />
When the steak is done, take it out of the pan and out of the bag. Heat a frying pan until it is smoking hot and sear the steak, turning every four seconds, until it is nicely browned on the outside. Rest and serve.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>And for dessert...</b><br />
<br />
What thanksgiving dinner would be complete without a little too much wine, and chocolates? http://bitcoinwine.com/ sells top wines and accepts only bitcoin payments, and http://www.intriguechocolate.com/ now take bitcoin for truffles! <br />
<br />
Happy holidays!<br />

Anyone with an idea for an exchange can now set one up in a matter of hours, to their own specifications.”</span></div>

This has resulted in exchanges being created for communities in Russia (Birjamonet.com), Greece (Bitcoinsgreece.com), Spain (Coincloudex.com), Austria (Eschilling.org), Africa (Coinrafic.com) and the Czech & Slovak Republics (Koruna.in), with more languages and countries being added. </span></div>

Crypto Next’s platform offers additional features such as ATM integration and payment systems for its white label clients’ use; Coincloudex.com is currently integrating a Lamassu ATM in Spain, expected to be operational in December of this year.</span></div>

Moreover, Isle of Man regulations state that funds in the exchange are controlled by the Corporate Service Provider, such that fiat currencies in the network are secured by an independent third party. </span></div>

CXC is traded on all the exchanges in the network in addition to the currencies selected by the exchange operator, a factor that Crypto Next believes will make its coin highly desirable in its own right.</span></div>

Highlights from the afternoon:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall, the conference was amazingly punctual given the Israelis' highly mediterranean standards in timekeeping. There were some fantastic speakers with an eclectic choice of topics, from politics to scalability, finance and bitcoin 2.0. It is difficult to pick the highlights given the quality of presentations and volume of information, so we will just say thanks to the La'Zooz team for the much needed beers they kindly distributed at the end of the conference!</div>

<b>So you think your startup launch was challenging? Try doing it during a war! </b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span>
<span class="s1"><b>This is not a political piece and I am not going to talk about the Middle East conflict. This is a business article about how you can never predict the obstacles you are going to encounter when starting a new company, and about how anything can be overcome with determination, open mindedness and perseverance.</b></span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5AM4JpFwqY4/VFc6ipZOsQI/AAAAAAAAAKw/C7GkJetYCEI/s1600/Crypto%2BNext%2BBlog.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5AM4JpFwqY4/VFc6ipZOsQI/AAAAAAAAAKw/C7GkJetYCEI/s1600/Crypto%2BNext%2BBlog.png" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<span class="s1">Under normal circumstances, Israel is an ideal environment for developing new technologies, with its highly evolved high-tech industry and accompanying infrastructure. The usual backdrop to a normal working day is a healthy buzz of ambitious professionals rushing around between high-rise offices, shouting spiritedly into smartphones and queuing for overpriced caffeine hits. However, Israel’s ongoing political conflict sometimes puts entrepreneurs in unusual and challenging situations, when Tel Aviv’s rush hour traffic is replaced with the sound of rocket sirens and businessmen fold up their shirts and don their army reserve uniforms.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">I was all set for the big launch of my digital currency startup, Crypto Next, in July 2014; our press release was reaching its embargo date, we were counting down to the launch of our crowd sale, social media posts were in full hype and we expected to go off with a bang. And then a different kind of bang went off- in the form of a rocket shower. Just days before our launch date, a war broke out. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Suddenly the local media, previously excited about hearing from entrepreneurs in a fresh and interesting business space, had their hands full with the conflict. My hopes of television appearances and nationwide coverage were shattered. Investor meetings and networking events, engagements that I was counting on to kickstart our launch and boost funding, were either cancelled or interrupted by the sound of warning sirens followed by a rushed exodus to the nearest bomb shelter. I even got drafted to the army reserves a week after our official launch date, bringing the small amount of momentum I had managed to establish, to an abrupt and unceremonious halt. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">It became clear that my launch strategy was going to have to be modified dramatically, and my expectations lowered. Rather than getting thoroughly downhearted, however, I saw this as a test of my determination and endurance. This is what I did: </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>I changed my PR strategy</b></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Having achieved some coverage from the international press, I was relying on local media interest to write more detailed articles about me and my company’s development centre, which is in Israel. Since the Israeli media was understandably disinterested in my bitcoin startup in the face of war and destruction, I focused on the local media in the Isle of Man, where my company is incorporated and where our main activities are located. I didn’t have the same insights and media contacts as I do in my country of residence, but the Isle of Man is highly supportive of the Bitcoin movement and consists of a relatively small, accessible and - most importantly - supportive business community. We appealed to the amazing people we work with in the IOM and managed to achieve a joint press release with the local government - something I never would have thought possible and would not have considered attempting under different circumstances. We ended up getting coverage for our IOM presence which resulted in valuable exposure.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>I insisted on having meetings</b></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Even when the situation was at its worst, I refused to cancel meetings and insisted they go ahead, even if it meant risking all by driving amid sirens warning of falling rockets through streets eerily empty of traffic, or holding meetings in my home bomb shelter. This insistence ended up separating the more sincere parties from the time-wasters; those who were really serious about working with me were willing to take the risk to meet, and I ended up finding better partners for it.</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>I changed my fundraising strategy</b></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">I had previously hoped to fund our system development by means of a crowd sale. Since this relies on strong local community engagement and PR, the sale gained less traction than we had hoped. Fortunately, our crowd sale strategy was not time limited and I was able to let it run whilst I spoke to friends and set meetings with new contacts about seed funding. We ended up funding the development of our system mostly internally, and not needing the crowd sale, a decision that ended up working out well and that I would not have made unless I was forced to do so. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>I stayed professional</b></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">With all the talk of the political situation flying around, especially across social networks, I decided to remain professional and focus all social media on business, general interest and our progress, and not get into the political debate. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><b>I worked out of hours. A lot. </b> </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I had to cram as much traveling and meetings as possible into the quiet periods when people were willing to venture outside. I worked nights and weekends, and had to accommodate other people’s schedules, sacrificing my own. </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<span class="s1"></span><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p3">
<span class="s1">Yes, I didn’t sleep much for several weeks and my wife is still in process of forgiving me, but my company was launched and funded, and our first product is being unveiled next week. I know that there will be challenges ahead but, having successfully launched a company in the middle of a war, I feel prepared for anything.</span></div>

Ron Gross is Co-Founder and Executive Director of the <a href="http://www.mastercoin.org/">Mastercoin foundation</a>. He spoke to <a href="http://www.cryptonext.net/">Crypto Next Plc</a> in Tel Aviv, following the launch of its coin, Crypto Next Coin (CXC), which is based on the
Mastercoin protocol.<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: What drew you to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in the first place?</b><br />
Ron Gross: Digital currencies have the potential to change the world. They display solid economics and massive technological potential. I have been involved with Bitcoin since 2011 and really appreciate the people behind it.
<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: How do you see the world of cryptocurrency developing in the future? </b><br />
Ron Gross: Cryptocurrencies are just in their infancy right now. In time their use will become easier as regulation becomes widespread and the world will learn to deal with digital currency such as Bitcoin. We believe that there will be a three pronged adaptation process, by: users, visitors and government. We can already see Bitcoin being used in more and more places and its uses are becoming more advanced as well. For example, Bitcoin is now being used in financial services.<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: How does the Israeli Bitcoin community relate to the rest of the world?</b><br />
Ron Gross: Israel is a cryptocurrency hub. There is a big Bitcoin community here both in terms of activist and innovators. There is a high level of consumer adoption in the country whereby shops accept Bitcoin, and the community is very active, with fortnightly Meetups and a big conference coming up in Tel Aviv being prime examples.<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: What is still missing from the Bitcoin market?</b><br />
Ron Gross: Two main things; adoption by larger players and regulation. I believe that someday Bitcoin will be in the mainstream, some players will (and have been) very fast to adopt it, and some will be more conservative. Either way, there will be a domino effect once these two barriers begin to come down.<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: What does Mastercoin have coming up?</b><br />
Ron Gross: We are soon to be launching our Mastercore platform. This is a platform that is easy to integrate so it should facilitate more exchanges, add liquidity, facilitate crowd sales and add several helpful tools. We plan to go live with the platform on the 1st August 2014, so really soon.<br />
<br />
<b>Crypto Next: How do you see Mastercoin and Crypto Next's relationship developing?</b><br />
Ron Gross: I see Crypto Next becoming a part of Mastercoin's affiliates program.

Taking advantage of the Isle of Man’s forward-thinking attitude towards cryptocurrency based businesses, Crypto Nextplc is able to pass on the security that comes with being registered with a financial regulator to its users and affiliates. The company launched a crowd sale yesterday, July 15th, by issuing its own coin, Crypto Next Coin (CXC), which can be used in lieu of fees for some of the company’s products and services, providing owners of CXC with considerable savings.</div>

<br />
Crypto Next Wants To Facilitate The Mainstream Use Of Crypto-Currencies By Providing White Label Exchanges and Merchant Services That Actually Work<br />
<br />
Isle of Man - July - Crypto Next wants to make it easier for people to start using and trading digital currencies by providing turn-key packages that include a company, bank account and white label currency exchange platform, instantly overcoming regulatory and technological barriers.<br />
<br />
They are also looking to develop a trusted, multi-currency wallet allowing for instant and recurring crypto currency payments. Because the wallet is trusted, the payments cannot be cancelled during the block chain confirmation period and would essentially work like a prepaid card. So now “brick and mortar” retail outlets will be able to join organisations that already accept payment in bitcoins.<br />

<br />
By providing a regulatory and financial framework, Crypto Next says it can help any retailer in any country accept crypto-currencies in a safe and time-efficient manner, truly bridging the gap between crypto-currency consumers and mainstream retailers. The platform will also be used for remittance services, a market which not only has the potential to help millions of people in the developing world, but was estimated to be worth 440Bn USD in 2010, according to the world bank.<br />
<br />
Crypto Next was founded by Israeli tech professionals, Sharon Greenberg and Asaf Azulay, and incorporated in the Isle of Man where the Government has openly welcomed digital currency companies; a development which is attracting crypto-currency based businesses since the announcement on the 10th June 2014. Crypto Next is the second cryptocurrency exchange company in the Isle of Man to be announced.<br />
<br />
The company’s products are currently in development stages and, for this reason, Crypto Next is seeking seed funding via a pre-sale of its coin (Crypto Next Coin) based on the Mastercoin protocol, by means of a crowd sale, making it the first company to launch a coin for an exchange via a crowd sale. If it achieves its funding goals, it expects to launch its first product milestone in the form of a multiple Fiat currency and multiple cryptocurrency exchange which will go live in several languages, by the end of August 2014.<br />
<br />
Beyond this, the company has big plans, aiming to launch its white label exchange before the end of the year, followed by a turnkey platform for merchants, an international remittance system, and even wallet hardware. Not just dreamers, Crypto Next’s founders have the experience, business know-how and computing power to actualize their plans.<br />
<br />
“The cryptocurrency world has been dominated by technology developers such as programmers and designers” says Crypto Next’s CEO Sharon Greenberg, an IT based businessman of 15 years, “the digital currency market is ripe for business minds to take it to new levels and that’s exactly what we are going to do with Crypto Next.”<br />
<br />
Crypto Next’s core features are real-world transparency and regulatory compliance. The organization operates under strict due diligence procedures to ensure the platform is not used for unsavory practices. Crypto Next has appointed Döhle Corporate and Trust Services Limited as Company Administrators, and intends to appoint Grant Thornton as auditors, as soon as funding is secured.<br />
<br />
If Crypto Next indeed manages to achieve its vision, the ramifications are mind-bogglingly extensive. As Ron Gross, Executive Director of the Mastercoin Foundation says in his statement about Crypto Next “With their solution, we could literally see 50,000 exchanges pop up within a year. This may be one of the key drivers to push Bitcoin to the next level.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3151561226150156256.post-54487475338345324022014-07-07T02:32:00.002-07:002014-10-18T05:52:27.521-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bWMtfFq5z5A/U7prEvLvkDI/AAAAAAAAACA/C1cIx2a6A-A/s1600/Fort+Anne+Isle+of+Man.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bWMtfFq5z5A/U7prEvLvkDI/AAAAAAAAACA/C1cIx2a6A-A/s320/Fort+Anne+Isle+of+Man.jpg" title="Fort Anne Isle of Man" /></a>Welcome to the CRYPTO NEXT blog.
