"2018 is the year the GCP is born.

First it was an idea in 2016; and then a concept crafted into a real project in 2017.

Taking something from the real world that works, makes sense. Most products are an improvement on something that already exists — an improved TV with sharper pixelation and more channels; a faster aircraft with more seats and less emissions — the list is endless. But Ethereum really is a game-changer. It’s not a step up, or a jumping 2 steps ahead: it’s like jumping from the staircase onto a new travelator.

Take a real product. Add Blockchain technology. And you create a chemical effect — you’re changing the composition of the original into a new compound. That’s what we realised we could do in 2017. We spoke to current and potential future customers and listened to their feedback, as a result we adjusted the platform concept to accommodate future baskets of currencies, not just GLX; we committed to using the Ethereum network, rather than more conventional methods; we decided to launch an ICO, as the only way we could really reach out to everyone, not just a very limited number of interested parties.

So now we’re in 2018. The pre-Sale has been great, the Sale is now on. Once we have completed this milestone, we can move on to making our vision real, and sharing the benefits of currency management with the greater community, and launching our GCP. We’ve run currency baskets in real life; we’ve checked the crypto concept with current customers; we are ready to alunch the platform, launch the first basket, and move on to other baskets. We’re really looking forward to 2018."

Hi. Could you tell me where does it say soft cap 10,000 ETH? That needs to be checked and thank you for pointing it out

Just signed up for the airdrop. Looking forward to seeing what the future for this coin holds... Seems extremely promising in my books. Atleast good enough for free coins

Has the hardcap been raised please?

maybe they will decide after the end of January 31, but I also look too small from 5k eth
hopefully there is a policy of team globcoin

Marshall McLuhan makes a comment that resonates with us today: “our new environment compels commitment and participation. We have become irrevocably involved with, and responsible for, each other” So that’s what a global village means maybe to us today — working together as a community to achieve aims together, and look after each other through lessening one risk in life — in our case currency risk.

Let’s create this together, 51 one years after the original — was coined.
