QUESTIONS

Give us a brief background of what professional experience you bring to the table (don’t be modest)

I’ve spent the last several years running two Ecommerce stores and managing my personal clients who are unfamiliar with Ecommerce platforms to help them improve their businesses and generate higher revenue. Throughout this process I have been able to acquire extensive knowledge about platforms such as Shopify, Woocommerce, and Magento, and have been able to analyze their strengths and weaknesses. As a result, I became determined to create an upgraded, advanced version of these platforms to ultimately improve Ecommerce as it progresses.

Where were you when you first heard about Bitcoin?

I was in Germany working on one of my Ecommerce businesses and read about it in an article and became immediately fascinated with every aspect of its existence. Shortly after, I began to study most of the intricacies and applications of it, and realized that the potential growth was absurd and that it could eventually dethrone fiat currency in the future.

What is the most impressive blockchain product you’ve seen so far (besides Elysian).

Dash is the most impressive project in the cryptocurrency market because of their strong community, primarily due to their forum which emphasizes engagement, and implementation of masternodes.

How did you get involved with Elysian?

I had previously been running two Ecommerce stores and working with clients to help them become familiar with platforms such as Shopify, when I decided I wanted to create my own platform and improve certain aspects of the currently existing platforms. Around the same time I was a fairly early investor in cryptocurrencies and was an advocate of them from the beginning and developed a solid understanding of their purpose, and ultimately wanted to combine my experience in Ecommerce with my knowledge of cryptocurrencies to create a platform that can penetrate both markets.

How is Elysian Different?

Elysian presents a very innovative approach to an Ecommerce platform that has not yet been introduced in the cryptocurrency market. We fix aspects of the current industry that are detrimental to businesses, focusing primarily on security and user experience, while also being able to provide the functions of previously successful platforms such as Shopify. Thus, the platform serves as an intermediary between businesses and consumers, and both parties are able to trust data storage and security because of blockchain implementation and smart contracts. Users will ultimately be satisfied with the end product as the user experience integration, AI and Virtual Reality, improves website navigation and promotes user engagement to provide an unprecedented experience in Ecommerce.

Where do you see Elysian in 10 years from now?

In 10 years I fully expect Elysian to be very well positioned in the Ecommerce industry, with a very large user base, competing with the likes of Shopify, Woocommerce, and Magento. Our team is comprised of Ecommerce experts who are familiar with the process so we are very comfortable and confident in the direction the project is heading in.
