Indeed, the opportunities      created by Bitcoin and its underlying      technologyblockchainare only being used by 8-10 million      people (1% of the worlds population), and a significant      share of that number comprises government entities, stock      exchanges, banks, financial services firms, and startups.    <\/p>\n<p>      For the large majority of people, the technology is hard to      grasp, and the cryptocurrency is difficult to mine given the      hard-earned cryptographical skill set needed to mine it.      Bitcoin and Ethereum are relatively popular cryptocurrencies,      but with new digital wallets with no instruction manuals and      no single platform to centralize trading for the everyday      consumer, progress towards full integration of the currency      in world economies remains slow. Yet, as with many affairs in      the world of financial services, there may be hopeand it      comes from Switzerland.    <\/p>\n<p>      Corion, a unified, unregulated, decentralized,      mobile cryptocurrency platform operating on the Ethereum      Classic blockchain, is underway in its Initial Coin Offering      (ICO). The offering, which will close on July 30, will pay      out between 3-25% bonus to participants, with early birds      earning 0.2% daily during the offering and service providers      generating between 5-10x more return on existing 0-2.5% coin      supply growth in the medium term.    <\/p>\n<p>      The ICO gives both service providers and consumers the      opportunity to invest in a new cryptocurrency that allows      them to help build the Corion ecosystem, a multifunctional      platform allowing businesses and individuals to transact      between each other on the Corion platform, which provides      and hosts secure, convenient, and real-time      financial transactions between members using Corion coin.    <\/p>\n<p>      The main pain point within the overall blockchain environment      Corion seeks to alleviate is that the current collection of      cryptocurrencies operate in centralized and debt-based      contexts. The value of these cryptocurrencies, especially      Bitcoin with its various and controversial hard forks over      the last few years, are volatile, with Ethereum being held up      as Bitcoins potential yet uncertain successor. Driving such      volatility is the scarcity-based value of cryptocurrencywith      only so many cryptographers and developers able to mine and      distribute it, demand simply isnt part of the equation here.      And, with only 1% of the worlds population actively using      any such currency right now, theres just not the level of      adoption present to transition it from short-term,      speculative income for a majority of people.    <\/p>\n<p>      Corions main goal is to create a blockchain-based,      decentralized cryptocurrency ecosystem driving demand based      on coin rewards and benchmarking against current fiat      currencies. The ecosystem, accessible through the Corion      platform, would focus cryptocurrency into mainstream usage,      taking it from short-term speculative income to continuous      passive income through community management. More, Corion      consists of separate smart contracts, implemented in Solidity      language for maximum transparency and trust.    <\/p>\n<p>      Corion has created an ecosystem and suite of services that      rival emerging blockchain services offered by bulge-bracket      banks like Citi and BNY Mellon, integrating payment, finance,      and trading functionalities on its singular mobile platform,      accessible by any user. At the same time, Corions developers      are working B2B to increase the total user base of all      cryptocurrencies, something no company has done until now.      This innovative business model encourages cross-currency      exchange, and inter-wallet and inter-platform cooperation and      synergy.    <\/p>\n<p>      To facilitate the transition of cryptocurrencies to      mainstream use that Corion looks to achieve, the Corion      platform features seven unique features to humanize the      cryptocurrency experience for the average user. These      features include a marketplace that promotes commerce, a      stable cryptocurrency to promote mainstream use, a reward      system for users based on Schelling points which allows users      to grow their coins, a multifunctional wallet that operates      as the main interface of the platform, and more.    <\/p>\n<p>      Currently, the battle for cryptocurrency supremacy is      ongoing. Corion enters with high aspirations, and well have      to keep watch to see if this innovative platform can change      the crypto world.    <\/p>\n<p>    The Morning Email  <\/p>\n<p>    Wake up to the day's most important news.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Continued here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/new-ico-promises-mainstream-adoption-of-cryptocurrencies_us_595fabb1e4b085e766b51211\" title=\"New ICO Promises Mainstream Adoption of Cryptocurrencies - HuffPost\">New ICO Promises Mainstream Adoption of Cryptocurrencies - HuffPost<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while potentially transformative on the macro level, are hard for most people to adopt on the micro-level.
