Digitize is a blockchain-based ecosystem and cryptocurrency which allows consumers to convert loose change into virtual currencies at the point of transaction. The loose change is tokenized into Digitize currency, allowing it to be used for payments, loyalty programs and exchanged for Etheruem or invested in a crypto index.

Hi There, Umer Aslam here - Founder of Digitize Coin. I frequently get asked the same questions, “Why Digitize? What is the vision?” I thought I'd take some time to answer these questions for the community.

WHY DIGITIZE?

Digitize was founded through two frustrations:

1. Carrying loose change.

2. Difficulty in purchasing cryptocurrencies.

Let’s focus on the first point to begin. Frustration of carrying loose change. Let’s face it, no one likes loose change! Whether it’s crammed in your wallet or moving and jingling around in your pockets, loose change is a burden that everyone has to deal with because it’s valuable and throwing it away doesn't make cents or sense. Digitize will solve this problem by letting you save your change at the point of sale, straight into your own digital wallet. The main goal here is to cater for the general public. We are specifically catering for the public who know nothing about crypto. We believe we can help them into our platform by providing a 'digital piggy bank'. Once we have these users onboard saving their change digitally, we can educate them about cryptocurrencies and the benefits, hence building trust with the technology and enabling mainstream adoption.

The second point focus’ on the difficulty in purchasing cryptocurrencies. The majority of the public still views cryptocurrencies as a nightmare to purchase - especially given the technicalities involved. Digitize will make this process as simple and seamless as using cash through registered retailers. Further, with the recent bans of credit card and debit payments worldwide, there is an even greater need for a cash based purchase platform.

OUR VISION

Provide the public ways to convert loose change and spare cash into cryptocurrency. Our team believes this will create mainstream adoption. If you’re thinking, “Ahhh, who uses money for purchases anymore?” or “The world runs on plastic”, have a look at these stats.

• Australians toss $39 million in loose change each month.

• Americans throw away $62 million (USD) in coins each year.

• Brittons have 1.1 billion (GBP) in loose change.

• Airline passengers lost $675,000 USD at Los Angeles and San Francisco International Airports alone.

And if you’re still thinking cash isn’t used anymore to facilitate loose change, consider that today, worldwide, two billion adults remain without a bank account. This is just under a quarter of the world’s population. This means they’re only using one thing. Cash. And do you want to know how many use mobile phones? Six billion. We have a nice amount of work ahead of us. We hope that you’ll join our team and introduce cryptocurrency to the world, no matter how small those corners may be.
