This service allows you to trade stocks and currencies using just bitcoin - no banks

Hi Steemit! This is my first post here. I'm Jessica Lee, CMO at Whaleclub (I'm using Petar's account, our COO). We're a team of 11 people (and growing!) based in Hong Kong and we've been around since mid-2015. I've been following Steemit for quite some time but never had the chance to try it out by publishing a story, so here goes. I'm looking forward to discovering and engaging with the Steemit community!

Whaleclub is a trading platform that allows anyone in the world to trade or invest in the financial markets using just bitcoin - no bank account required.

Obviously you'll find the post below, which recaps Whaleclub's recent updates, more interesting if you trade or invest in the markets, but Whaleclub is just the first step in our team's vision to build an economy powered by digital currency that lives and breathes entirely outside the traditional financial system.

We believe that cryptocurrency provides a blank slate to build a new world. With digital currency, we can build services from the ground up that exist entirely outside the traditional financial and banking system, hence eliminating middlemen, cutting costs and legacy systems, serving people globally from day one, and unlocking new and smart regulation. And with millions of people owning and acquiring digital currency every year, the market potential for such services is clear.

At Whaleclub, we’ve made it our mission to allow everyone in the world to trade the financial markets using just bitcoin. Over 10,000 customers have traded more than $100M USD on Whaleclub in the past six months alone - we're grateful for every one of you.

Today, we’re excited to unveil Whaleclub v5, our most ambitious product update yet.

Whaleclub is now more efficient, more powerful, and more secure than ever. It reflects our vision for a next-generation trading experience that empowers traders to access worldwide markets by using digital currency — completely outside the traditional financial system.

Traditional trading firms are plagued with deposit and withdrawal delays, excessive fees, and poor customer support. By using digital currency instead of dollars and by running on superior technology built from the ground up, Whaleclub provides a significantly better trading experience with instant deposits, zero-fee execution, worldwide market access, low-cost spreads, and exceptional customer service.

Whaleclub now offers:

• A New Trading Dashboard: It’s been fully redesigned with a ton of grunt so you can seamlessly manage your orders and perform advanced technical analysis. And while the technology behind it is unlike anything we’ve ever engineered, the new dashboard will feel instantly familiar.
• 30+ Markets: Trade a whole range of markets from forex to cryptocurrencies to stocks like Apple and Netflix (including pre and after trading hours).
• Ultra-Low Spreads: Spreads have been slashed across the board, reaching as low as 0.0001 on forex pairs, keeping your trading costs at an absolute minimum.
• 100x Leverage: Get up to 100x your buying power so you can trade or invest more, and keep any profits.
• Instant Deposits: Access your funds and capitalize on trading opportunities as soon as your deposit transactions hit the blockchain—no confirmation required.

At Whaleclub, all product updates begin and end with listening to our customers, and this one is no different. We’ve rebuilt Whaleclub in a unique way, by carefully designing core features and cutting out confusing ones.

Our aim is to provide customers with a stellar trading experience. We're committed to keeping our products fresh, easy, and blazing-fast through constant updates and improvements.

We sincerely hope you enjoy using the new Whaleclub as much as we enjoyed building it!
