Topic: [News] BIOCOIN - INTERNATIONAL BLOCKCHAIN-BASED LOYALTY PLATFORM - page 20. (Read 15108 times)

Boris Akimov, the founder of BioCoin is here! And no, we are not going to talk about Bali today. I often get asked whether I invest into crypto currencies, which crypto currencies and how much:)

I cannot call myself an experienced crypto trader or investor. I do invest into crypto currencies, very carefully, though it is more out of simple curiosity, to make it more interesting to watch trends. I am truly not an investor in mind, I am a businessman. Which tokens I have already invested in (obviously, not counting BioCoin as it is on the first and favorable place):

1. SibCoin
2. Waves
3. Utt
4. Peercoin

Siberian chervonets (SibCoin): This is our friend and strategic partner. We do a lot together. We are close friends with the project’s founder. Our latest joint project was the merchant for BioCoin that they helped us with (the news was announced on Monday on our channel).

United Traders: These are great guys, and we are planning a big partner project together. Farmers and traders are friends:) Here is a more emotional approach towards investments in UTT. However, with all that I understand that Anatoly Radchenko and partners are mega professional in what they do. I am pretty sure they will create a great project.

Peer Coin: we are their fork and we are conceptually close with them. This was one of the first Proof-of-Stake projects, same as BioCoin. It is also a green coin.

Waves: I personally know Ivanov a little and it is a truly powerful Russian project. Overall, personal acquaintance and partnership are defining moments for me. It is probably not completely right from an investor’s point of view. It is based more on personal sympathy and emotions. However, this is the type of a person I am.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Bitcoin Cash and Ripple, to a lesser degree as I do not have many of these coins. I invested money mostly out of joint interest, I personally have not met Satoshi Hakamoto:)

Time has come to start with crypto currencies.

Yesterday we posted news about an interview with that Bali hotel founder, and now here is the interview itself ( Translated from Telegra.ph)


Why does a business need BioCoin?

We received a lot of questions after the news that a Bali hotel Bondalem Beach Club accepts biocoins for payments. We answered these question in BioCoin chat. And then decided to interview the founder of the hotel Maxim Demenchuk. Before dealing with crypto currencies he had been a trader for 15 years, working with currencies, shares, bonds. So he knows enough about investments. Maxim explained why BioCoin can be useful for a business.

-Why did you decide that it is useful to have payments in BioCoin?

I like new trends, new things. It is possibly a  thrust for illiquid assets with high growth potential. ;-) BioCoin is not your true crypto currency which makes it even more appealing. I have read that there had been attempts to create similar loyalty systems in other countries though they did not work. BioCoin in spite of some flows is developing and if it keeps up the growth rate then in 2 years, if the government will allow it, the project will scale.

Additionally, it is easier to explain to any regular user how a loyalty system works than hold a lecture about crypto currencies, mining and etc.

We all deal with loyalty systems, store cards, coupons on a daily basis. What is then BooCoin for any business? It is one part of marketing, advertising.

-What does a hotel get from participation in the BioCoin loyalty system?
Advertisement, advertisement, advertisement. It does not cost anything, and time will show its effectiveness. I advise to use this marketing step to all my acquaintance from different businesses. However, when they hear the words “crypto currency”, they picture the MMM pyramid. I guess some had participated back then:) The project attracts partners, we in essence are creating a “closed club that is open to new participants”. We want to believe that everyone who becomes a partner will fulfill their obligations to accept and credit loyalty points BioCoin. It is true that there are difficulties with payments in crypto currencies in the RF. However, if a partner announced that he would accept it, then go ahead and accept, or leave the partnership. It is difficult now to pay for products and services in crypto currencies in Indonesia as well. 
If BioCoin is successful in scaling, I am sure it will benefit everyone. What is so bad that instead of numerous cards of Lenta, Perekrestok, Diksi, Baxettle, Pyaterochka, Mvideo, Eldorado etc, I will just hold one card with points.

The competition will certainly partially switch from price segment to service quality evaluation segment.

A little about Bondalem Beach Club:

The hotel opened in 2013. There are 4 luxury bungalows and 2 double-occupancy suites. There is an ongoing construction of a stand alone villa with 11 double occupancy suites on the hotel’s territory.  It will be possible to rent suites separately or the whole villa at once for large groups, corporate events, fitness/yoga tours, trainings. Launch time is set to May/June.

Payments in Biocoins are accepted directly at the time of booking or during the stay at the hotel restaurants.
Guests receive 10% bonuses in biocoins from money spent on lodgings and 5% for food purchases at the restaurants.

Let’s put the purchases on the side for now and let’s talk a little about #agritech and other ICO in that field.

Demeter platform has been developed in Italy. This platform will allow people from all over the world to rent micro-fields in various parts of the world and cultivate them and use them for farming.

Platform’s concept is to enable farmers to sell their fresh and quality products with profits. And then people in cities could get organic products without intermediaries.

The process will be supported by a powerful community that will use blockchain technologies to issue certificates for the farms, control the production process, help each of the farms in their development. This should help farmers sustain competition, avoid scams and will solve the issues of product quality.

This was the fight of titans. The opinions split. We do understand that it is quite difficult to see a happy bright sun-shined face of Boris when you are actually sitting in snowy Russia. We will ask him to slow down. Though where is happiness? Happiness is in Biocoins, dear friends! You are the owners of the wonder token and you can do it exactly like Boris. Send us pictures of your purchases for bio to the chat and we will publish them.

Using the opportunity we want to let you know that you can fly a hang-glider on the south of the island.

So that sums up our coverage:) using the tag #кaкпoтpaтитьbio you can find information about purchases for token.

Boris Akimov almost caught a blue marlin. The fish got off the hook right near the boat. Are you not tired from our coverage from cryptoisland?

News about the Bali hotel that accepts biocoins has excited many crypto enthusiasts. The founder of the hotel, Maxim Demenchuk, was answering questions in the chat https://t.me/biocoinchat_ru. We asked him what benefits hotel got from using biocoins.  Maxim said that BioCoin can be useful for any business. You can read more http://telegra.ph/Zachem-biznesu-nuzhen-BioCoin-01-15

“For an hour the old man had been seeing black spots before his eyes and the sweat salted his eyes and salted the cut over his eye and on his forehead... I could not fail myself and die on a fish like this," he said. "Now that I have him coming so beautifully, God help me endure. I'll say a hundred Our Fathers and a hundred Hail Marys. But I cannot say them now."

So why do we remember Hemingway now? Oh yeah, for the fishing in Bali for 1,500 Bio.
#кaкпoтpaтитьbio

We continue to introduce agritech to you.

Chinese company ZhongAn Technology created a service GoGo Chicken. Farmers use it to write data about growing chicken into the database that is based on blockchain. Buyers can get that info through a smart phone application (will have information about it later!).
 
It works based on the following principle: a small device that is attached to the hen’s leg identifies the location of the hen and the number of steps. Food data for the hen is also written into the base. And recently added to the service technology of face recognition allows customers to watch over the purchased hen still at a farm through a smart phone application.

You asked for photos of transactions from Bali. Fried bananas and avocado. And avocado ice-cream. All for 260 bio. It is in Bondalem Beach Club restaurant. You can live and eat for Bio here. And you can pay right away or when you leave.

Starting today you can pay with your biocoins in all the stores of our partners!

Now any retail store can accept BIO for their products. We developed our own merchant, a software solution that serves as an intermediary accepting biocoins. This software has already been installed in LavkaLavka on devices that scan the barcodes (Data collection terminals). Merchant will be used on all cash and store registers of our partners. The system is now working in a test mode at LavkaLavka, however soon it will be implemented in all of the projects that are part of the Biocoin loyalty system!
You can find the list of BioCoin partners on our website https://biocoin.bio/en

And here is more from cryptoisland Bali. Here is a fishing trip to catch blue marlin. Trip for four tourists cost 1500 biocoins. And we almost got the beautiful marlin, got off the hook the last minute.

And here it is same fish ready on a plate. All for 100(!) Bio.
Though what kind of fish is that? First we thought it was snapper. No it was not. Then it was “rhino skin fish” though what it is was quite unclear. This is a very tasty one, but still with an unknown name. Give us a hint? https://t.me/biocoinchat

We are continuing the coverage of biocoin-Bali! We celebrated the Old New Year with this fish. Attention- fresh fish and already on a plate cost us 100 biocoins!

And here are some more pictures from the “biocoin” hotel in Bali;)

Here is what is on Boris’s mind:

“Life always has a place for marvelous things. Or odd. I am now somewhere in between. I am sitting on an ocean shore (Bali sea to be exact), my kids are near me splashing in the water and so am I, why not. Here is black volcanic sand, weather of +26C, there is nobody on the beach, just fishermen waiting to catch their barracudas and tuna which you can immediately fry right here at a local restaurant. There are palm trees with coconuts, rambutans, salas(salaks, not fish) and other fruits with some hard to pronounce names.

Shots hold local rice distillates, glasses are served with non-local wine. There is also quite decent (in all senses) Bali massage. Water cruises with dolphins, finishing, waterfalls. The hotel offers a pool right in front of a personal bungalow and sea 30 meters from it. So, you know even without me about the fairytale Bali. What you do know not is that all of that (from bungalow, pool and massage to barracuda, dolphins, waterfalls and distillates) can now be purchased for biocoins. Yeah, you heard that right.

The same farmers biocoins that are spreading fast not only in Russia but all over the world! I just could not pass by such news that now you can pay with biocoins in Bali and thus, I went there with an inspection. And the inspection is going on so nicely. For a day I was silent, just walked, swam, sniffed, chewed, drank. And now I can assure you that it is right and biocoins are accepted in Bali.
And now when you are going to LavkaLavka (and not only) and receive biocoins as bonuses for a purchase of farmers salami by Alexander Potcheptsov, for example, or for chicken soup by Andrey Ovchinnikov at Dmitry Akishin restaurants made by Elena Savchuk, you can then celebrate the end of the year by such Bali trip. Do it just by using the accumulated biocoins.

Here is another way. You bought biocoins on the site biocoin.bio or at an exchange. The exchange rate changed during few months and you followed my footsteps much cheaper than using rubles.

This is a long one. Though I had to explain everything to myself and you. So, yes, biocoins are accepted in Bali, and France as well. Same for the USA and Novosibirsk. And they say in the forests of Arkhangelsk Region.

Now I have to personally visit all these places to check for myself! Rice zen to all!”

The founder of the project Boris Akimov personally ascertained how easy that is to pay with biocoins in Bali. He came to this hotel with his family for an “inspection”.

However we still recommend buying farmers products for biocoins 😉

We have wonderful news! Now biocoins are accepted in Bali!

You can pay using them for your stay at the hotel Bondalem Beach Club.
For biocoins you can purchase absolutely all services such as lodging, food and drinks at a restaurant, excursions, fishing trips, massages, dolphin cruises and much more.  The hotel has 9.5 stars on booking.com

Though these are not true farmer’s chicken wings, however you can buy these for BTC in a Canadian KFC. Due to the volatility of the currency the price always gets updated on the company’s FB page.

It looks like State Duma deputies agree with us:) Anatoly Aksakov, the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Financial markets stated today that 90% of ICOs constitute fraudulent transactions, and 60% of all ICOs are done by people originating from Russia.
