Will it be decentralized? Is it proof-of-work? hahaha.

This is a great example of the philosophy Let's run it up the flagpole and see if anyone salutes it, also known as the Let's throw everything at the wall and see what sticks approach to business.

Indeed, investment bankers and banking executive are aware of blockchain technology. But Citicoin doesn't impress me whatsoever.

Try harder Citigroup.

  • What do you think with all the mass media can they be better than bitcoin?
  • Would you invest in citicoin?

-They cannot, in any way, be better than bitcoin. Something like that is basically and literally against the concepts bitcoin is offering--another scheme to gain full control to people's money. They can go on and promote that coin in mass media, but it is up to people whether they want to be controlled or not.

-No, I will never, ever invest any money on a centralized money and is controlled by a bank.

And what when there is profits to be made? Will you be so principal in that case as well? I doubt it ;')

If there are profits to be made? I would still stand by my principles. I'd rather be poor than join the entities that make the people poorer just to be rich. There are other ways to earn money, and I would be happy to do that than to invest in a scheme created by banks. Smiley

I agree with you but the mass media will effect(brainwash) all the people who know nothing about bitcoin or the ones which are against bitcoin..

That is truly correct, the media has the power to affect the mindset of people. But that doesn't mean that we, as individuals, would only believe the messages that the media is trying to convey; we still have our own judgments and diligence to deal with such matters. See where we are right now? Flocking in this forum and using a decentralized cryptocurrency mainly because our judgments led us here.

Their intent to use Citicoin (in part) to benefit the poor and "unbanked" is admirable. This sector of consumers offers less incentive for corporations to pay attention because there isn't much if any revenue to be gained, yet these people have desires and need for services as much as any other consumer...just on a smaller monetary scale. This could enable some better wealth creation by those sitting "at the bottom of the pyramid". I'd love to see how serious their convictions are on this part of the Citicoin project.

I'd also be curious how governments would use it within their current monetary system.

when a bank like CITIBANK create this coin, than its developed with millions of money...u dont get the gains like here in the decentralized market :-D


I seriously doubt there'd be any type of gain possible. Banks aren't in the business of creating currencies and thus volatility. It should be rebranded Citipaymentsystem because that's what it'll be. No bank will create anything other than a token redeemable for 'real' currencies.

A Citicoin would make banking a far better experience than the shower of shit it is now. It wouldn't fix many or any of the root problems.

Mass media has done a pretty good job of showing the world what happens when your conventional banking goes wrong in Greece.

It's up to Bitcoinland to broadcast the message about how it stands apart from that. The mass media have done a pretty good job of that themselves in recent weeks in a few cases.

I see the banks lauching these "bitcoin alike" solutions all over the place.
It has nothing to do with decentrialized banking, its just an attempt not to fall behind.
The masses would proberly be fooled to thinkg "its like bitcoin, but better".
In fact, its just another mobile payment solution.

This coin will be made by banksters. Its absolutely the opposite from the behaviour of digital currencies!

From me:

NO!  Undecided
