We have some exciting news to share with you as we push forward into 2018 — something that has been in the works for a while.
Particl is proud to add Bitcoin pioneer Charlie Shrem to our stellar advisory team as a Strategic Advisor and Mentor!
“We are excited to get some input from an industry heavyweight. Charlie’s influence and experience will help us grow tremendously.” Ryno Mathee, Particl Founder
Charlie’s penchant for projects that aim to give freedom back to users by solving a problem that exists in services people use everyday aligns nicely within Particl’s vision: to foster a fully independent, decentralized economy and provide a sustainable environment of collaboration and innovation that empowers peers across different blockchain projects while respecting their rights to freedom and privacy.
Finding a Greater Purpose
Particl has never been just another coin in the privacy bucket — only in existence to entertain speculators while transactions traveling on the chain are merely from one exchange to another. Particl was never envisioned as an inclusive ecosystem either, where only PART existed and all other cryptocurrencies were closed off to the Particl chain and apps.
We’ve built our foundation, we’ve developed our privacy coin, we’re going to deliver our Particl Marketplace early in 2018. These are the first steps to building a decentralized economy. A place PART can be spent and earned and a marketplace most major cryptocurrencies will be accepted, both in use and in community. 😄
“I’m excited to be working with Particl,” says Charlie Shrem. “As I see privacy, fungibility and ease of use the main pillars for any crypto. What if there were no needles in the haystack?” — Charlie Shrem
Adoption, Growth and Ease of Use
An early Bitcoin entrepreneur with a history of launching and growing successful companies inside and outside the cryptocurrency space, Charlie Shrem brings unparalleled access to services and partners within the blockchain ecosystem.
Charlie was founding member of the Bitcoin Foundation and co-founded one the the first and largest Bitcoin companies, BitInstant, in 2011. BitInstant allowed people to efficiently move their money into and within the Bitcoin economy in a fast and familiar way. Partnering with MoneyGram, Charlie brought crypto to people’s front door with the ability to deposit cash for Bitcoin at over 700,000 locations in the United States at its peak.
He also is the Business Development Advisor for Changelly, an instant cryptocurrency exchange service that let’s you exchange one crypto to another in seconds and supports fiat money payment for any listed crypto. Changelly is an exchange without accounts that makes moving from one crypto to another fast and easy while customers maintain their privacy and control.
Charlie understands making crypto accessible and easy to use.
He has relationships around the world with services and exchanges that will further Particl’s growth and adoption.
A Bright Future
Building the Particl Marketplace for just PART is a big undertaking. Adding fiat gateways and exchange mechanisms for most of the crypto ecosystem and providing a support system for a multitude of users and communities is a massive undertaking.
Having advisors like Charlie Shrem, Miguel Cuneta, John Bailon, Micah Spruill, Joe Fisher, Yann Alleman and Arcanum is the recipe for success that the Particl community and all crypto communities should be really excited about heading into 2018!
Thank You
