Claude’s AMA
Earlier in the month we asked community members to submit questions they may have about Telcoin to our CEO Claude for an Ask Me Anything.
We had hundreds of responses from community members from around the World eager to find out more information about the project.
You asked, so we answered!
The full AMA video will be dropping on our youtube channel at the beginning of September, we will announce it and send links through our social channels.
A word from Eric Chung – Head of compliance and operations
As Telcoin expands globally, we are confronted with fitting into existing money remittance regulations in each region as well as new legislation covering cryptocurrencies that are often in various phases of consultation before becoming law.
That means not only does Telcoin need to obtain money changer/remittance licenses/registrations in established 1st world regimes but as there are no rules covering cryptocurrencies, we are constantly working with regulators, our World class legal counsel, along with local experts & working groups in influencing current proposed legislation on cryptocurrencies throughout the globe.
Without established rules, it’s often illegal for crypto companies to operate in 1st world countries which is why outside of the US and China, Telcoin is fully complying with regulators to enable remittances for our customers.
In 3rd world countries like in Southeast Asia, some jurisdictions have a pro-crypto approach and we are on the frontlines ensuring that once consumers receive Telcoin, they are able to use it in their respective countries while creating working solutions for regimes who have been traditionally closed to anything crypto.
Government agencies are not the quickest in implementing change as they don’t understand this brave new blockchain world and how it impacts the population at large. Fortunately, our Compliance and Operations team are able to help them along as they come equipped with knowledge and experience from the investment banking world which also recently went under heavy regulatory reform after the Lehman Brothers’ crisis involving OTC derivatives.
Change is coming, slowly but surely and Telcoin will be there.
Thank you for your continued support.
Telcoin is “Mobile Remittance”
