hello Frank,

I see that your are still answering question on your topic. Therefore I take the liberty to send you my question:


I was re-reading Antifragile by iconoclast thinker Nassim Taleb recently. He writes "Never ask anyone for their opinion [...] Just ask them what they have -or don't have ...

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays. AMA!

Hi Frank,

Can you tell us more about your new wallet feature? From what I gather you said you won't hold customer coins like coinbase or bitstamp but they will be able to send from Safello through their own wallet?

Certainly. We looked at the market and identified the recreation of banking ...

Hi there!

Do you think that big banks will eventually work together with startups, who work with the unbanked people with the Bitcoin’s protocol?

Thanks.

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays

Hi Frank,

Can you tell us, if they pro Bitcoin or pro Blockchain? Will they also join forces and close accounts linked to Bitcoin, like the Australian banks did?

Thanks for doing this AMA.

I assume you are referring to Barclays. They are technology agnostic and are hedging their bets between ...

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays

Question:

Swedish dark-market Flugsvamp has the line "Don't use Safello!" at the top of it's page. Do they know something about Safello that we don't?

/ Safello user with privacy concerns

That one is rather simple. We are registered with the financial inspection and follow the AML regulation, i ...

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays

Hi Frank, can you give us any interesting details regarding the project your team is working on with Barclays? Where do you see this relationship and project going?

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays

Re: I am Frank Schuil, CEO & co-founder Safello, we did the deal with Barclays

I'll ask then!

Whilst working with Barclays might be positive for Safello, given they have shut down bitcoin accounts and their track record over manipulating markets, involvement in misselling products etc, do you think this is beneficical to the bitcoin ecosystem to be 'jumping into bed' with ...
