Tokocrypto is launching a simple and easy, instant and secure user friendly exchange that allows you to invest in Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum with confidence using Indonesian Rupiah.

Eight years ago, a 1 Million Rupiah investment into Bitcoin would be worth 750 Billion Rupiah today. However, not many people knew about Bitcoin’s existence eight years ago and gateways to invest in Bitcoin were few and far between. Hence, there is no need to feel like you have missed the opportunity of a lifetime to invest in Bitcoin because not many could have fathom it’s meteoric rise.

There are two main reasons why Bitcoin is increasing in value so rapidly, and they are: scarcity and utility.

Let’s talk about scarcity. There will only be 21 million Bitcoins circulating around the world, ever. This means that if we take the total supply and divide it with everyone in the world with a population of 7.6 billion, everyone will only have 0.00276 Bitcoin (bitcoin can be divided into many decimal places) or roughly 250k Rupiah. To put it into perspective, by owning 1 Million Rupiah worth of Bitcoin, you are already owning 4x more Bitcoin than the average person.

While scarcity is a huge factor that gives an asset value (like gold), the utility behind Bitcoin is the one that everyone is extremely excited about. Bitcoin is the first use case of Blockchain Technology and this technology is powering up a whole entire ecosystem of other assets like Ethereum, Litecoin and thousands others to be able to do one simple thing: Trusted peer-to-peer transactions, without a third party. It is transparent, tamper proof and unhackable. To learn more about Blockchain Technology click here!

“The blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of economic transactions that can be programmed to record not just financial transactions but virtually everything of value.”
Don & Alex Tapscott, authors Blockchain Revolution (2016)

According to a graph created by Bloomberg, with the Indonesia Central Securities Depository as it’s source, cryptocurrency traders are set to outnumber stock traders in Indonesia in 2018. Also, based on this article by Forbes, 30% of Millennials would rather invest in Cryptocurrency. This is setting the stage for more people, Millennials in particular, to invest their money into this new and popular asset class. Progress is a force that cannot be stopped, and it is extremely important and valuable to understand the role blockchain technology plays in this new era of innovation.

Tokocrypto strives to make it easy for anyone and everyone to own cryptocurrency, starting with Bitcoin and Ethereum, the top two coins based on market capitalization. For one month after launch, there will be no transaction fees so you can get the most out of your investment and special care has also been put in place to ensure the best user experience possible. The best thing? You can own your first cryptocurrency with just 500k Rupiah. Remember that all the best investors start from somewhere and Tokocrypto aims to be the place that you can start building your wealth of tomorrow.
