Pretty ambitious !!! You have a great team I see that but this figure seems huge for crypto.
I'm not one of the core-team, I just help with the community-communication.
But it's true, it is a very skilled team. They have experts for all important areas:
https://lykke.com/leadership.phpAnd it's also true that their goal may seem ambitious, but I'll give you some informations that may put things into perspective:
Richard Olsen (the CEO of Lykke) is the Co-founder and former CEO of Oanda:
https://www.oanda.comOanda is a forex-trading platform:
"OANDA is an outgrowth of the Swiss Olsen Group and was created to serve as an internet trading platform to automate techniques based on the group's research in foreign exchange trading.[3] Much of OANDA's technology is based on algorithms published in the book High Frequency Finance,[4] which was co-authored by Dr. Richard Olsen, a principal of OANDA and co-inventor of these algorithms."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oanda_Corporation What I want to say with that is: Lykke won't be just a Crypto-exchange like Poloniex. It can be seen more like a bridge or a door between both worlds, and when it comes to Crypto it won't most likely be that much about smaller Crypto-currencies like they are listed on Polo, Bittrex or other Multi-Currency-exchanges, but more about colored coins - digital assets (but also about forex-trading).
Richard Olsen gave a very insightful interview what Lykke will be about here:
The Future Of Currencyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmZBtKL7ZcMAnd if you count that all together, it could very well be that Lykke will be like Oanda on the one side (established financial system) and about digital assets on the blockchain.
And what I believe is really huge potential:
- more secure than usual exchanges because semi-decentralized
- very userfriendly
Those two points are key-aspects in my opinion. Because everybody, if already in Crypto or not, is on the search for "feeling safe" and "I'm able to handle it". Both is still missing for a lot of people while the combination of both is pretty invincible. And there already is proof that they are able to build that. It is an already working product and I have no doubt that they will continue with fast progress and improvements on all fronts.
http://lykke.world/Example of a colored coin:
1 Lykke USD colored coin is a commitment to pay 1 USD within one business day.
Lykke issues colored coins for USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, Lykke shares and other assets as specified in the Appendix.
The time period for the payment begins with the remittance of the coin to Lykke and the request for delivery.
