[Note: This is a press release.]
JAKARTA, Indonesia – Oct. 25, 2017 – Buying and selling cryptocurrency has never been easier, with the innovative ICO from Pundi X now delivering the market’s first POS device free to early investors who contribute more than 30 ETH or 1.5 BTC from a single bitcoin or Ethereum address.
From now until December 20, throughout the remainder of the ICO (including pre-sales and crowd sales), qualified investors will receive a Pundi X POS device which can be installed in retail outlets enabling consumers to quickly and easily buy or sell BTC, ETH, LTC, PXS and other cryptocurrency using fiat money (Dollars, Rupiah, Baht etc), bank card, mobile wallet or Pundi X Pass. The purchased cryptocurrency can be stored in a digital wallet or used to make cashless payments to top up phones, pay utility bills or buy goods, subject to local regulations in each market. The POS devices delivered under this offer will be shipped within 45 days after completion of the ICO process.
With just two days remaining in the pre-ICO period during which investors will be rewarded with a significant bonus of 30% extra tokens, Pundi X is fast approaching its initial cap of 14,000 ETH with a total ICO hard cap of 280,000 ETH.
Zac Cheah, CEO of Pundi X, said:
We have seen a tremendous swelling of enthusiasm among investors in Indonesia and much of Asia and our pre-ICO has developed a powerful momentum of its own. Now is the time to reward those early investors and give them the chance to operate their own POS device in store so that local consumers can start to purchase cryptocurrency, or cost-effectively conduct financial transactions in retail outlets, without the obligation to pay high banking fees.
Pundi X POS is the world’s smallest cryptocurrency device and is designed to sit conveniently on a retail counter in order to distribute cryptocurrency and enable consumers to conduct financial transactions.
A multi-function device that is connected directly to the blockchain so that each transaction is recorded, Pundi X POS serves as the bridge that connects the real world and the crypto world. It also supports the delivery of financial services to the large numbers of ‘unbanked‘ citizens living across South East Asia.
Cheah also explained:
Pundi X POS solves the last mile challenge for cryptocurrency purchases and sales. We created an easy offline solution to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyone. […] For those who are interested in cryptocurrency transaction or want to facilitate cashless transactions, this is the perfect time to get the Pundi X POS device.
For non-ICO investors, the company plans to start the first phase of a POS device pilot roll out in selected cities, including Jakarta, Bali, Seoul, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Pundi X will select applicants who own physical stores – cafes, restaurants, co-working spaces or convenience stores – in order to expand the offline sales network. This roll-out will start in early November and devices will be shipped to the applicant in the same month.
