Roger Staubach said that “There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.” This aligns well with the intentions of our DAA manager Phoenix Decentralized Solutions, who plans to provide first-class customer service for new crypto investors as an important part of their strategy.

You started your DAA during a correction when a lot of altcoins dropped more than 80% from their all-time high. Do you see any changes in your clients when speaking about crypto during this specific period? Are people still as optimistic regarding the future, or are there already signs that might indicate doubt or reservations?

At Phoenix Decentralized Solutions, we deliver a service to people who do not have the time or knowledge to understand what is going on in this new market.

Many of our clients do have a sense of the general sentiment of the market, but this is not holding them back from investing. We believe one of the reasons for this is that we are not only aiming for profit, but we are also explaining what this new technology means for the world.

We show what decentralization means and how it can make the world a better place. Our clients are aware of this vision. Despite the current negative sentiment, our clients are choosing a long-term investment strategy, mostly because they know the projects we select have a positive impact on the world.

In your opinion, the Dutch market is one of the fastest-growing markets for digital assets in the world. Do you think this is due to the fact that the Dutch people are historically known for being quick to accept new things, or is it something else?

Geography, the Dutch entrepreneur mentality, the extremely well-developed internet network across the country, internationally oriented people, and maybe some luck with the early adoption of Bitcoin — many factors play a role.

At the same time, it is hard to measure adoption rate. To get an impression, we use circumstantial evidence to support this notion that the Netherlands has one of the fastest-growing markets for digital assets.

For instance, take the number of Dash master nodes hosted in Amsterdam, or the fact that Waves decide to launch a new product in the Netherlands while not native to it. Also, many of ICONOMI’s users are from the Netherlands, as demonstrated by visits per country to the ICONOMI website and the DAA managers on the platform.

But at the same time, many potential clients find blockchain technology and investing in bitcoin difficult. We find this holds back adoption. At Phoenix Decentralized Solutions, we offer personal support and guidance; this is how we make investing in crypto and blockchain easy for everyone.

Besides choosing the right projects (tokens), you are also focused on knowledge sharing and customer support as part of conducting your business. Explain why these parts matter and what you expect to gain from them.

We believe that blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies will play an increasingly important role in our society. This new technology is hard to understand for many. We believe that everyone has to be able to participate, and we are on a mission to make it easy. There are two methods to make participation easy for our clients: sharing knowledge and sharing experience.

The ultimate way to make investing in crypto and blockchain easy is through our personal support solution. We visit the client personally and start by answering all of their questions. The next step is setting up a personal ICONOMI account, and then we show them how to fund their account. The last step is buying into our Phoenix Paradigm Indicator DAA. There is no need for any technological knowledge or understanding with this solution.

Another way we make participation easy is by sharing our knowledge. Our website offers a free tutorial providing step-by-step guidance. Using our tutorial, it is easy to start investing in Phoenix Paradigm Indicator. We receive a lot of positive feedback about our tutorial, and we are just getting started.

Where do you see the biggest challenges and opportunities in the crypto industry?

One big challenge is the uncertainty concerning regulation. It won’t be long before regulators realize that this industry cannot be regulated in the traditional way. Decentralized exchanges are a perfect example of this. On a decentralized exchange, you can trade without any KYC regulation, securely and anonymously. How will governments react to this? How will regulators respond to this? How will users respond to this? A big challenge indeed, and one that we will monitor closely.

We also see many opportunities. We believe that blockchain technology can financially empower people anywhere across the world. Being financially empowered allows for many new opportunities.

For instance, nowadays, any independent artist can tokenize (and protect) their work. People are also working on methods allowing for universal basic income. And it is our belief that gold-backed currencies will soon be reintroduced to the world.

The biggest opportunity we see is making crypto and blockchain investing easy and understandable. This stimulates adoption and the growth of the ecosystem. This way we contribute to a better future. We welcome you to join our cause. Visit www.phoenixdecentralized.com and get involved.
