It is clear that the cryptocurrency/blockchain technology niche is one of the fastest growing and most disruptive innovations in finance of the last 100 years. Once considered a massive tech bubble, and ridiculed in the mainstream press, too big to fail banks and major financial institutions are now scrambling to implement their own versions of blockchain tech, whether private internal blockchains, or large scale multi faceted cryptocurrencies such as Ripple (XRP) and Ethereum (ETH).
Investment in this space and purchasing cryptocurrency can be dicey in the best of circumstances, and the chances of being scammed in a variety of ways is certainly a possibility, so how does one go about finding reputable startups within this rapidly growing industry?
Enter BnkToTheFuture
Founded by Simon Dixon, BnkToTheFuture is a venture capital investment platform designed to present investment opportunities in this rapidly evolving sector to the lay person, as well as providing funding to potential start ups.
'Simon Dixon is the co-founder and CEO of BnkToTheFuture, author of the book 'Bank to the Future' & co-founder & Fund Manager of Bitcoin Capital. An ex-director of the UK Digital Currency Association & UK Crowdfunding Association, who regularly speaks to the future of finance to governments, businesses, investors and financial institutions.'
Sir Richard Branson had this to say about BnkToTheFuture:
'I like the goals of the BnkToTheFuture.Com, where everything is transparent and open and people can see what >happens with their money. Isn't it great that they are offering support to entrepreneurs and businesses who will create jobs in the future.'
BnkToTheFuture prides itself on providing an investment platform that allows everyday investors the opportunity to invest alongside professional investors and specialized venture capital funds. At the time of this writing, BnkToTheFuture had generated more than $70,000,000 in capital for various businesses, including such Blockchain powerhouses as Shapeshift.io, Bitpay, and Kraken Exchange.
Unlike the majority of cryptocurrencies out there, with anonymous developers and pump and dump groups who are ready to take your money and run, BnkToTheFuture is a completely different animal. Compliant with more than 100 international financial laws, each and every business and investor must be fully registered in order to participate in funding rounds. As Sir Richard said, what sets BnkToTheFuture apart from the rest of the crypto space is transparency and the ability to actually watch how your money is used.
For those of us who would like to get involved in crypto but are put off by the rampant theft and criminality which pervades this highly unregulated financial sector, BnkToTheFuture is a safe and reliable entry point for those new to the industry.
