MEGA NEWS!!! Kevin Murcko, the founder of CoinMetro was on promotion tour for the' Cancún Coin'.
He wants to introduce a virtual currency in Cancun. Every year thousands of students and party-hungry people (springbreak!!!) go on pilgrimage to Cancún in Mexico. The city is world-famous as a tourist destination due to its 23 km long beach and had over 6 million visitors in 2016. Students are the ideal target group because they are open-minded for cryptocurrency!
And here's the great thing: The Cancun Coin will be listed exclusively on CoinMetro if it works, that means every user has to trade automatically via CoinMetro if he wants to exchange it / use it for FIAT!
Translation: The Cancun coin would allow you to exchange dollars from your mobile phone.
New technologies improve the image of the city, says businessman Kevin Murcko.
Cancun, Quintana Roo Monday 15 January 2018
Rodrigo Vázquez Coutiño, an independent candidate for Cancun's municipal presidency, used his first appearance before the campaign to promote an initiative by a digital money expert on foreign exchange.
Foreign businessman Kevin Murcko spoke at a press conference about the Cancun coin, a proposal for digital money, similar to Bitcoin, but anchored in the peso, which would allow tourists to change their dollars with a clear exchange rate and use their phone,
to carry out the necessary transactions in the participating companies.
The exchange rate, the expert explained, varies greatly from place to place, from exchange office, taxi, supermarket or hotel, which gives the destination a bad image and the traveller, who does not know how much is spent, uncertainty.
Murcko said that in the world of Uber and Airbnb, Cancun must use these new technologies to improve it's image, because although we do everything with the phone, we still use a wallet with bills, like in the 19th century.
The Cancun coin could be introduced in five months, although in practice it will probably take a little longer because it needs to receive state support. The businessman estimated that 20 percent of companies could accept it within a year.
