 Our altcoin of the week this week is ELECTRONIUM, the first British cryptocurrency. The mobile currency is a fork of Monero, whose app is available on Android and soon to be on Apple. Why have people been talking so much about ELECTRONIUM? This is because ELECTRONIUM wants to take the technical out of technical knowledge and the knowledge out of technical knowledge. Essentially, ELECTRONIUM wants to make cryptocurrency exchanging and mining so simplistic that even your grandma can do it. ELECTRONIUM has one of the largest followings from its start after running one of the most successful token sales to date. From there, they have developed an app that allows you to manage your online funds by sending and receiving payments with the convenience of a simple QR code scanning. ELECTRONIUM also implements an easy-to-use mining aspect to their wallets that allows users to experience mining without any of the burdensome costs of investing in equipment or dealing with large amounts of overhead. On top of this, ELECTRONIUM claims to be faster and more secure than Bitcoin while at the same time offering more anonymity, while still being a usable asset. ELECTRONIUM claims to have an unhackable offline wallet where you can store the bulk of your ELECTRONIUM. Whether this is true or not, I am not sure, but if their tech team is as proficient as their PR team is hyperbolic, I think we are all in safe hands as their website claims the odds of the hack are as follows. If you imagine every grain of sand in the world as a lottery, the odds against someone gaining access to ELECTRONIUM offline wallet is the same as winning every single one of those lotteries at the same time. ELECTRONIUM has had a hard time taking off however. They are only listed on Cryptopia at the moment and on November 6th, they were hit by a DDOS hack that has shut investors out of their accounts for several days. Awkward. But that didn't stop ELECTRONIUM, and it shouldn't. It wasn't a hack on the walled themselves, and also, since they have cracked down and hired new talent, they are not giving up. And well, they shouldn't. Despite ELECTRONIUM hovering around $0.10 for the past month or so, it is a great idea that it is targeting over 2 billion cell phone users with a focus on mobile gaming and online gambling. That sentiment is often felt across their support system, which is full of hodlers who are quite happy to be like this. ELECTRONIUM wants to make their system so secure and efficient that exchanging money with a click is easier than exchanging mononucleosis with a kiss. That's right, it will make money as easy as getting sick. Imagine that. Oh. Oh wait. Money. Money is a sickness. It's a disease. I understand it now. Nah, I'm just kidding. Money is great. I love it. You love it. Of course you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't have spent the past three minutes watching a video wondering whether or not you should invest in ELECTRONIUM.
