The American
Forbes Introduces Karatbars as One of
“10
Blockchain Companies To Watch In 2019”
In Its Latest Prominent Blockchain List
Stuttgart, June 06, 2019 – America’s most prominent business magazine
Forbes places The Karatbars group around Dr. h.c. Harald Seiz in a new list of
the “10
Blockchain Companies To Watch In 2019“. Joresa Bount’s article
presents a “deeper look at the technologies, founders, and companies that
are emerging in the industry (…) The teams of these innovative blockchain
startups are global, cutting-edge and typically include early blockchain
adopters as founders.”
The abovementioned list introduces 10
companies aimed at making the blockchain “more accessible, prominent and
mainstream. (…) Each offers something unique with the potential to disrupt
traditional industries as well as gain support from legitimate entities,”
Bount says.
“Based in
Germany, Karatbars International GmbH is the developer of KaratGold Coin and a robust gold-linked ecosystem of cross-border blockchain
solutions. Their latest product, the IMpulse K1 Smartphone, is the first phone
using Voice Over Blockchain Protocol (VOPB). Currently, KaratGold allows consumers to trade or
purchase gold on more than 500,000 acceptance points worldwide. With all of the
recent talk about Bitcoin versus gold, this company provides the best of both
worlds,” the article says about Karatbars.
“The
Forbes contribution and inclusion in such a list is a great honor for us. The
article shows the full diversity of the blockchain universe – and we are proud
to be listed in this series due to our two crypto-currency innovations,
including a link to gold, and the blockchain smartphone IMpulse K1,”
shares Karatbars CEO and Founder Dr. h.c. Harald Seiz. “Cryptocurrencies
and blockchain are on everyone’s lips. But cryptocurrencies are not only
relevant as an investment object, the underlying blockchain can revolutionize
all our workflows and business processes – even outside of finance. That’s what
we and the other nine companies exposed by Forbes are working on every
day,” he adds.
In his turn,
John McAfee posted on his Twitter: “Warning:
I work with this company. However, KBC coin is linked to gold in a way that
downside is limited, while the upside is unlimited. (…) For me, it is simply a
way to protect against the crypto markets’ volatility. I only work for
companies I believe in.”
