Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!

Congrats on the big win at the Swisscom startup competition, Johann, it's quite impressive to see how you have brought Monetas along, and I think you guys could easily break into the mid-cap fund market in the new couple years. Are you guys fully focused on the recent product launch in Tunisia, or ...

Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!

Is Monetas still building Open Transactions or is that happening with Chris under Stash? Since the split, and the lack of any usage of either platforms, what is exactly is Monetas, OT, Stash and when we will have something that can actually be useful to everyday bitcoin users? Do you see your ...

@Johann, Thanks for all your amazing contributions in the space!!

You're welcome :-)

When do you SLEEP!!!! ;)

LOL! It's a constant challenge, especially since I am at my best when I consistently get a good 9 1/2 hours per night.
These past four years, I've had far less sleep than I need, and ...

Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!

Hello Johann

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- in their portfolio" I have come to think it's a very relevant question and you can better weight people's opinions ...

Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!

Hello Johann and thanks for doing this AMA.
1) Which companies are Monetas´ main competitors in the industry? Blockstream? Lightning network? And why is Monetas a better solution?
What do you think about Chris Odom´s new company Stashcrypto.com? As far as you both use a similar technology, do you ...

Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!

Thanks for this.

What strategies is Monetas taking to manage:
1) The instability of many of the countries it is planning to roll out it (e.g. troubles in Tunisia)?

As mentioned in my intro post, we only develop the software, we do not operate it. So dealing with local operational issues is ...

Hi Johann

Can you share a little bit about the moment you came across bitcoin? Particularly when you started to see the potential of this technology and how it could transform society?
Has the way you view bitcoin technology changed over time?


I first got involved with digital finance in the ...

2) I don't know how much of this you are able to disclose, but I am curious how exactly the platform/application manifests? Is it SMS based like some existing banking services? How are the wallets/data kept? Are there escrow services? Does it try to provide banking services, or is it purely for ...

Re: I'm Johann Gevers, Founder and CEO of Monetas. Ask Me Anything!



1) Switzerland has a reputation for good privacy laws, however it is my understanding that in recent years that has been somewhat degraded. What do you see as currently placing Switzerland as the ideal location to create a cryptofinance community? To what extent do you see computing/data/crypto ...
