Hi everyone,

It’s exciting to be here engaging with the passionate r/CryptoCurrency community. Some of the CoinSmart team will be helping me today to answer all your questions: u/imjakedaniels and u/liljbon .

I can't do this without all of you, now is your time to start asking the questions YOU want answers to. Have at it everyone - I am here to serve you. You can start asking questions now and I will be back from 14:00-16:00 EST o’clock to begin answering them (19:00 UTC).

We’ve had some very exciting developments that took place within the last month, here is a quick introduction: CoinSmart went public under the ticker $SMRT. You can now buy shares of CoinSmart on the NEO exchange or from any stock provider. We are extremely thrilled to be bridging the gap between crypto and traditional finance. It seems like the crypto world, and the traditional finance world has been engaged in a contentious battle for a long time. I know that we will better serve the future if these two schools of thought come together and provide one unified ecosystem where everyone has the opportunity to grow and thrive.

On October 22nd, we were granted restricted dealer registration with the Ontario Securities Commission and all other Canadian Securities Administrators members. We also increased safety and security on CoinSmart by adding mandatory 2FA and email confirmation for withdrawals.

We are continuously adding new crypto assets to the platform and are excited to introduce many new features to you in the future, while always taking the regulatory approach first.

That’s it for the introduction—looking forward to answering your questions and let’s make this a great AMA. Stay tuned until the end of the AMA there will be a special reveal!
