==Summary== Launched by a former finance professional and crypto-experienced senior developers in 2018, BitcoinPoint enables anyone to buy Bitcoin easily. The idea originated from the frustrations with the complex registration on crypto exchanges and the extremely high fees non-tech savvy users encountered with Bitcoin ATMs * We're bringing access to Bitcoin online, in stores and via ATMs * We developed a Bitcoin Online Wallet uniquely without network fees * Designed as a solution for the non-tech savvy & the unbanked * We're on a mission to disrupt the Money Transfer industry ==Idea== <vimeo>513351194</vimeo> The head of the world’s largest asset manager (Blackrock) said Bitcoin can evolve into a global market asset. At BitcoinPoint we believe this is a monetary revolution & we are taking a holistic view by creating an ecosystem of agents, POS & ATMs to make it easier to acquire crypto & even use it for remittances.
