You always listen as companies launch ICOs for thousands or millions of dollars, with projects to reach an entire nation or the world, composed of professionals with years of expertise or visionary graduates, today in CryptoTendencia we bring you the case of the 6th grade child who created your own cryptocurrency.
His name is George Weiksner, an 11-year-old boy who lives in Connecticut, whose main feature is the passion for digital technology, specifically in the area of video games.
Like any student, he attends his class hours in the morning, sharing with his friends, then going home to study and play like any young person. The particular thing in his routine are Mondays, because he regularly attends meetings of cryptocurrency lovers, where they argue about virtual currencies and Blockchain.
According to an interview conducted by Steemit, the idea arose one day when he returned home, was chatting with his father and thought "a coin that works for any game", and from that day he developed his currency, which he called Quarteers and his company PocketfulOfQuarters, where the company is composed by him and his father. Which has experience in technology investments.
The coin arises because of George's trouble to have money from games caught, when he wanted to use them in others. An example can be the money obtained in World of Warcraft to be used in League of Legends.
The idea is to start with decentralized games, that is, not belonging to large communities, like the 2 mentioned. The idea is that each Quarter costs US $ 0.25, which you can change in exchange platforms or in other games, making the equivalence.
Currently they are developing their ICO with another currency, only to start the project, using their own currency called Q2.
The critics and experts of cryptocurrencies believe that, even if the project does not happen, ideas of this kind have only been possible to imagine thanks to the Blockchain revolution, claiming that there are countless utilities that have not yet been thought.
