A culture around vision
We believe that decentralised cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum will fundamentally change how the world views and uses money. As early pioneers in this industry, we feel it’s our duty to bring this knowledge and excitement to the world as best we can.
It takes a certain breed of person, with a special system of values, to take on a challenge of such epic proportions.
To the moon
This phrase was made popular by the community in reference to Bitcoin's rocketing price, and now also reflects our optimism and excitement for this technology.
Whether you’re sitting in a London penthouse, or on a beach in Bali, when you look up at the evening sky, the moon is one of the world’s only constants, and in many ways, our one true leveller. We believe Bitcoin has the same potential for an open, equal financial system.
Open and equal
We’re trusted by over 6 million people across 40 countries. That’s because we’re building a community together.
We want to upgrade everyone, everywhere with our easy-to-use products, built on some of the world’s most sophisticated cryptocurrency security systems. While traditional financial institutions may rely on exclusive offers, we provide inclusive experiences.
