About Nautilus Coin:

Nautilus coin was created over a year ago by Brian Kelly of Brian Kelly Capital since then the Nautilus coin has moved from being a Clone of Bitcoin to being the 1st Official Currency over the NXT Monetary system and blockchain.

The important element to the Nautilus Coin that is going to set it apart and make it unique is the simple fact of purchasing power to back the currency with Gold and other assets in the future such as Olive production, Cotton and other Greek local produce, this means the more the currency is used in day to day purchases means the more Gold etc is purchased to protect the Value of the currency.

Nautilus coin is a Social experiment and most probably the 1st of its kind to date using blockchain technology as the distributed ledger.
