This is a call to all great Steemit writers! Telcoin has sponsored a writing contest!
All articles must be submitted within 72 hours of this post to be considered!
Telcoin is a new cryptocurrency based on the Ethereum blockchain that will be distributed by your national telecom operator and made available to everyone, anytime, anywhere. This is the core of our business, and mobile network operators will be at the center of our strategy.
Telcoin will be a new way to transact in cryptocurrency, with your phone as the wallet. Telcoin will be distributed through your service provider, meaning that the user never needs to even know what the blockchain is to be on it!
Instead of having to use a long wallet address, users can send each other payments simply by knowing the phone number of the recipient.
This will also have a big impact on how tourists spend and manage their money. Telcoins are going to be an international mobile phone based payment method. Wherever a user travels, all they need is their phone, loaded with Telcoins.
Telcoin will bring banking to populations that have a developed mobile market, but are still under-served when it comes to banking. There are 2 billion people who currently do not have a bank account. The population of adults with telecom services is almost 5 billion. The overlapping portion of the population that has mobile services but does not have access to a bank account will be able to access banking services through their phones.
Telcoin will act as a partner with mobile operators. The operator would then, liquidity allowing, act as an exchange for Telcoins with its users. If the operator needs to increase their Telcoin balance, they would exchange with Telcoin! If the operator has a balanced amount of buy/sell orders, they can simply use their own liquidity to exchange with their user base.
Write an article about how Telcoin will change the mobile payment industry! How will Telcoin benefit consumers? How will it benefit businesses? How will Telcoin change tourism and international remittance. Can you think of a cool use-case scenario? Be creative! Original thinking and ideas make for great articles. As always, the contest is fairly open-ended!
Feel free to use images and media from their website. You can even make your own video and have it in your submission!
