Igor Chekun, CEO, Founder at Golden Currency

A proactive, but also conservative entrepreneur with solid economic education here shares his opinion, from perspectives of personal, corporate, corporate, and industry level.

JC: As CEO and founder at Golden Currency, a pioneer of cash money on blockchain. Can you share your view on blockchain economically?

Igor Chekun: There are many advantages of blockchain that could result in positive economic result for developers and users in many branches of economy. For example, there are such opportunities in blockchain projects that deal with government services and everything related. In our project Golden Currency we deal with government money issuance monopoly. We see that there is a market failure, there is no money in the world that is backed by assets, there is no global, reliable, inflation-free money. That is why we make Golden money that could be potentially used in our everyday life. Blockchain will help us to make money global and reliable. So in our case blockchain can help to work with market failures.

JC: What is the challenge Golden Currency meet?

Igor Chekun: Golden Currency project is very different from any other project. It deals with money that could potentially be used by any individual and entity in the world. As being a large and unique project there are many challenges that we meet. But at the same time if to look at every small element of our project — there is nothing new. For example, money backed by gold is something that the world had earlier. The same is with private money, etc. So there we see that there is no problem that we could not cope with.

JC: Which word describes you better? Proactive? Or Conservative? And why?

Igor Chekun: As working with a unique and large project you need to be both proactive and conservative. You need to have a different, new view on the problem and be very active to promote the project and achieve results. But at the same time you need to take into consideration all previous experience, for example, of other gold backed currencies that existed earlier, you need to take into consideration reliability and stability and thus to be some kind of conservative.

Golden Currency makes stable coin for legit use in everyday life both for companies and individuals, with “money” legal status. Golden Currency is money that you will be able to have in cash, put into your bank account or transfer to your crypto account in one click. It will be the only money in the world now 100%-backed by gold. Golden Currency is at pre-ICO stage now, increasing our team, looking for partners and investors.

The increase of the currency use, and therefore, the maximization of its turnover and the monetization of the project, will take place on the basis of ensuring and developing its competitive advantages.
