Image from BeFrank
Since we are very interested in the world of cryptocurrencies, we like go out and find cool and unique projects. Not too long ago, we interviewed the creators of a cryptocurrency called BeFrank and would like to share it with you today!
We started out by asking the creators to introduce themselves. Damien started by saying he is a, "Serial entrepreneur, cryptocurrency advocate and skilled programmer. Co-founder of Collibra and Orillia. Develops BeFranks software." Then Maarten continues by saying he is a, "development and growth expert, blockchain enthusiast. Co-founder of Shape AI. [He is] BeFrank's development and project manager." Next, Stijn says that he is a, "visionary and progressive strategist, Co-founder and current CTO of Collibra. Consults in BeFrank's technical design and strategy lead." Finally, André said that he is a "real estate entrepreneur, marketing and hospitality expert. Develops and manage BeFrank's social platforms, network and marketing."

Next, we wanted to know what got each of them interested in cryptocurrency. Damien starts out by saying that, "it explained how the 2008 crisis could have been resolved with less dependency on money valued based upon identity. Being part of the story was and is the most fun. Being a central banker is not much fun, I suspect." Maarten says, "Like most of us, I heard about it left and right but when I finally researched the technology, I got very excited about the possibilities. Now we have to wait and build the infrastructure innovations until it becomes part of our every day." Stijn continues saying, "This is a fundamental next step for the evolution of the Internet, which started as a decentralized information sharing system and is now becoming very dominated by centralized corporations. Crypto is returning to the decentralized roots, but then for value. Plus, I really want to see those "credits" they kept talking about in all the science fiction movies." Finally, André says, "[Its] accessibility, education, 24 hour trading, blockchain technology, [and] transaction time."
The following questions were asked to the entire group and a collective response was given.
Now correct me if I am wrong, but is BeFrank trying to become a national currency of Belgium?
Now correct me if I am wrong, but is BeFrank trying to become a national currency of Belgium?
Yes, it is time to be frank. It is time for BeFrank.
Why should people outside of Belgium care about this project
First of all: BeFrank is money by Belgians, for Belgians and under the control of Belgians, or anyone who feels part of our community for that matter. A National cryptocurrency is supposed to focus on a national level first, but if it does what it should, BeFrank could be playing a leading role for all the other national crypto's that are around. And working together should eliminate beginner mistakes and yield better and faster results.
How did the idea for BeFrank come up
Some of us like to see money being created for more than ourselves. It's demonstrating that some of [us] can't help ourselves [from] verifying only a crazy idea to the marketplace. It still can be solving some real world issues. It is the hobby project for a lifetime.
How long ago did BeFrank start
BeFrank is young and its first steps showed promising results. First BeFrank discussions started in December 2017 over a few beers. Beers matter -- but drink responsibly.
What would you say is the most important part of the BeFrank community
The fact that we don't own BeFrank, the community owns it. We can only move forward if we all stick together and focus our time and effort together towards every new goal. Everybody who wants to participate can does grow the movement.
What do you think about the current cryptocurrency ecosystem and market?
It is very early -- but exciting -- days, and for most people there is a lot of confusion and a lot of speculation. With the BeFrank community we hope to bring clarity, locally.
We really like the BeFrank project, despite being in the United States of America. It is an extremely interesting project with the goal of becoming a national currency of Belgium. Because in most crypto projects, developers tend to hide behind a pseudonym and do not back the project with their identity and reputation, the fact that the BeFrank developers do back the coin sets it apart and give people some peace of mine.
