My best example pitch at short notice...
....
As we all know, European governments are over-indebted, banks are over-leveraged & the world economy is slowing. Cyprus & Greece have already experienced the horror of waking up to find their banks closed, most of their funds inaccessible and even 'bailed-in'. With capital controls, negative interest rates & a war on cash, European individuals and businesses are rightly concerned.
However thanks to a ground-breaking company called BitShares, there is a simple solution.
In fact, in minutes you can open and fund an online account that is completely unexposed to the global financial and banking system. An account that is also anonymous if desired and lets you hold Euro, Pound, Dollar & other currency denominated balances. This account can't be seized, confiscated or targeted by any government.
So what is BitShares?
BitShares is a company that exists entirely in distributed code.
The forerunner of this concept was Bitcoin. The first internet based currency started in 2009 which showed that it was possible to create a tamper proof, transparent currency that could be simultaneously processed by computers all over the world therefore making it very hard to shut down. Today Bitcoin is still the market leader with a capitalisation of $3.5 Billion, however the major drawback is that internet currencies can be very volatile and are also of limited use to individuals and businesses who would rather hold balances in major national currencies or gold and silver.
The key innovation BitShares has pioneered is a way to create transparent, stable currency products such as Euros & Pounds by backing them with a dynamic, over-collateralised pool of the internet based currency. The system has proved so successful that even when at one point the backing currency lost 90% of it's value, the major currency products remained fully backed & unaffected. This success has rightfully attracted a lot of interest from the financial media and industry partners including myself who despite it being a relative newcomer at just over a year old, believe BitShares will rapidly revolutionise our financial landscape.
Last month it was described in Forbes as being like 'having your savings, checking, and trading accounts in the palm of your hand, accessible from anywhere in the world' & a recent article on MaxKeiser.com titled BitShares as 'The technology that could make the New York Stock Exchange obsolete.' Personally as CEO of CCDEK, a Danish Exchange, I was so impressed by BitShares that I am transitioning to using it on the back-end to provide my customers with maximum transparency, performance, security and privacy. I have also recently launched the NanoCard, a versatile, global, anonymous if desired debit card that can link to your BitShares account.
So whether you're an individual or a business that could benefit from a globally accessible, unseizable, private account, that can transfer funds anywhere in one second for less than 20 cents. Or alternatively if you'd like to invest in a company which actually benefits from the global downturn and financial instability then I'd highly recommend looking further into BitShares at BitShares.org or feel free to ask me any questions.
