*Big thank you to Stephan Wissel for the cake idea
It's a Piece of Cake
I'd like to ask everyone a
question:
What is Banking?
It all boils down to trust
• You trust your bank to hold and manage your funds
• You trust the money printed by the central bank
• You trust that virtual transactions happen just as if
they happened with a physical exchange of goods
Banking is the biggest

trust-based system

the world has ever known
Trust. Reliability. Community.
Banking. Blockchains.
These are all words that go together :)
Hyperlocal banking has the potential

to reach 2.5 billion lives
