"I spent a lot of time in Southeast Asia, Jakarta in particular, where I saw the power of fintech and mobile wallets to lessen the access gap to basic financial services. I believe Telcoin can become a serious global player on that front, especially as far as scale and interoperability are concerned. Wallets are taking off, but they're still mostly closed systems, unable to interact across particular services or international borders." Newsletter release !
