Hi, I am Gulden!
Gulden (NLG) is the Dutch Cryptocurrency (Netherlands based), named after the now defunct Dutch Currency, and was replaced by the Euro. The Gulden is thriving in the Netherlands, due to its UX based prioritization. It is way ahead of its category in terms of merchant adoption, thanks to an aggressive development strategy.
As a result, the relatively unknown cryptocurrency, ranked #75 on coinmarketcap.com, is able to claim an impressive 55 merchants that accept it as payment.
Additionally, because of the Nocks mobile payment system’s seamless transfers, users are able to spend Gulden anywhere Bitcoin is accepted.
Gulden has been designed with easy-of-use first approach in development.
Bitcoin is not used by the common man in the Netherlands, because of its "difficulty" of using the cryptocurrency.
Gulden is changing that, and on top of this, The Dutch miss their old and beloved currency the "gulden".
Hey Gulden, I know that. Oh its digital now? Cool.
With the unexpected effect of "Gulden", in other countries, sounds like "Golden"!
Gulden is Golden!
How does Gulden differ from Bitcoin?
Gulden has a lot more supply, and there is no halving of the block reward. That was done to reach 1 Gulden = 1 Euro in a few years time.
The bitcoin supply is just not enough for the Netherlands.
Technically there are also many differences, The Gulden is designed on its own diff algo called DELTA, which smoothens the block times and makes mining fairer.
PRIME has been introduced, a system that allows 0 confirms and 51% attack prevention, and is actively being developed and funded by the Gulden community.
PRIME is very important to Gulden Merchants and adoption, bigger companies can't wait for 5/10 confirmations, 0 confirms is a must.
User Experience as Priority.
Gulden UX is very important, and a main focus of development. The recently released iOS and Android Apps are very simplistic, and anyone can use it without a manual!
All the stuff that raises questions when introduced with Crypto, Gulden will make it easier.
Competition is not Crypto, it is fiat, and the Gulden app needs to be a lot easier to use then any other fiat (bank) app! Crypto will "scare" people away, since they don't understand it, Gulden is bridging this gap by making it easy and user friendly to use, and takes away the barriers, people know the "Gulden".
A Crypto, with a Human Approach.
How is Gulden accepted, like Bitcoin?
With the integration of Nocks.co on the Gulden blockchain (the first), Bitcoin/Euros will instantly be converted to Gulden, a native functionality of the Gulden App (iOS/Android), this seamless integration works in the background, and users don't know they use Nock.co for this.
Nocks is a very fast growing company in the Netherlands and fintech scene, they are building a full banking experience on the blockchain.
Nocks is integrated seamlessly for full compatibility with the Bitcoin network and Euro-infrastructure (SEPA / IBAN / Ideal / Wire Transfer). Pay any Gulden, Bitcoin & Euro QR-Code or wire money to any Gulden, Bitcoin or IBAN address using the Gulden for Android or iOS app.
Euroscepticism and Gulden.
The older generation know the actual "Gulden", their old beloved currency, and many were proud of it, and always had a strong name in the Netherlands.
With the euroscepticism, which helps the Gulden adoption, and also the recent Brexit, as well as the , maybe upcoming, "Nexit" (Netherlands Referendum on Euro exit), the Gulden has incredible potential for a very welcoming comeback, and will change the landscape forever, with more Freedom.
