Tri-colored startup with its stars
OnixCoin was born from the vision of young Venezuelan entrepreneurs that, inspired by the benefits and promises of the blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies as alternative, decentralized payment methods, created their own token with the purpose of allowing citizens from the Caribbean country and the rest of Latin America to access international markets without depending from USD nor having to fill delaying, unnecessary bureaucratic paperwork.
Powered by the blockchain technology, it works in a similar way than that of the most popular cryptocurrency as of yet – The Bitcoin. Being both of them store of value, the Venezuelan counterpart focuses on those emerging markets and people with low to zero financial history, just like students, bachelors and entrepreneurs.
Through their official website, users can obtain more info on the matter, such as the team behind this startup, Data sheet, available Exchanges, the ability of creating a QR code to be printed or given to someone so you can receive funds in ONX, among other interesting stuff. You can acquire these coins either by GPU Mining (through its own mining software, available for download), or buying them, whether in USD, BTC or even in local cash (VEF).
In the words of co-founder, Pablo Pérez: “Cryptocurrencies can untie a real revolution here in Venezuela that support changes not just on the banking sector, but also in every level of government and its citizen’s economic principles”
