Introducing Yassin Hankir: The Man Who Wants to Bring Cryptocurrencies to the Mainstream
On the 5th and 6th of April, Paranoid Internet GmbH will be organizing the C3 Crypto Conference, the biggest crypto conference in Germany. The inaugural conference is organized with the intention of bringing together leading crypto experts, investors, blockchain start-ups, lawyers, developers and everyone who is interested in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology.
The conference also features some of the most prominent figures in the crypto world, who will be giving keynote speeches and live trading advice. One of the names on the impressive list of speakers is Yassin Hankir, a FinTech entrepreneur and enthusiast from Frankfurt.
Hankir completed his masters in Economics and Ph.D. in Finance at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, one of top research universities in the world. Upon graduation, he worked at McKinsey and Co. — the San Francisco-based business management consultant firm — for 4 years, where he excelled in his role as engagement manager.
Yassin Hankir’s Mission with SaveDroid
In June 2015, Hankir founded Savedroid, a saving app that creates personalized saving plans to help us accrue enough money to purchase the things that we truly desire. To do that, Savedroid uses advanced AI and machine learning algorithms that allow it to adapt to our lifestyles and tailor the saving plans accordingly. In Hankir’s own words, “Savedroid is the new app with the little droid that can make dreams come true.”
Through the Savedroid ICO, Yassin wants to democratize cryptocurrencies by creating a unique AI-fueled ecosystem of crypto saving and investing for the masses. Their users will profit from easy access to smart micro saving and investment plans. From the newest design couch, to the newest Macbook or trendy running shoes — all these guilty purchases are made possible with Savedroid and its brilliantly engineered “if-then” rules, which puts money aside whenever the app detects an excess in the user’s cashflow. These micro transactions will be performed on a blockchain, which makes any action done by the droid traceable and immutable.
The Savedroid ICO started in February and will go on until Mar. 9. What makes it stand out among other ICOs is the fact that investors can purchase Savedroid tokens (SVG) with 56 non-standard cryptocurrencies such as Stellar Lumens (XLM) and and EOS. In comparison, most ICOs require investors to pay in Bitcoin or Ethereum, which limits the number of ways to purchase the tokens that are on sale. According to Hankir, this creates a sense of inclusion amongst the crypto community and makes a valuable contribution to the easier use of cryptocurrencies today.
So far, around four billion Savedroid tokens out of the total six billion have been sold, effectively making Savedroid one of the most successful ICOs in Germany. Be sure to catch Yassin Hankir’s talk at the C3 Crypto Conference
