UK-based Learning Enterprises Organisation (LEO) has launched a completely anonymous digital currency LEOcoin to rival the industry leader Bitcoin. The Bitcoin alternative launched in London on Wednesday will officially begin trading on a Hong Kong-based, global LEOcoin exchange LEOxChange from April 2. The coin will be recognized by other exchanges as well.
Dan Andersson, the co-founder of LEOcoin believes that the new currency will have “greater usability and accessibility than other cryptocurrencies.”
To promote wider usability, the organization has launched wallets for different operating systems: Windows 32 bit Wallet, Windows 64 bit Wallet, MAC OS Wallet, and Linux Wallet.
Interested parties can buy LEOcoins, mine them on a computer, join a mining pool, or trade them. LEO has also rolled out a “merchant program” for those willing to access the global LEO Marketplace.
The use of both Proof-of-Stake and Proof-of-Work validation puts LEOcoin in the league of most secure digital currencies.
The organization has promoted the concept to its 131,176 clients thereby essentially making it the “second largest cryptocurrency” in the world.
The launch of LEOcoin is a very risky gamble considering that the same organization commissioned a survey of 1000 small- and medium business owners which revealed that a huge 85% of the respondents are either “not very likely” or “not at all likely” to accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin and others in the future.
The study conducted by YouGov also brought to light that higher awareness has failed to push mainstream adoption of digital currencies. With an awareness level of 86%, a mere 2% were ready to accept a digital currency.
To this, Dan Andersson said that, “the industry needs to do much more to establish its credibility.”
On a positive note, LEOcoin’s aim to boost cryptocurrency usability and accessibility for potential users seamlessly aligns with the primary motive of the whole digital currency industry.

Come on man. You’ve got to work harder on your “articles”. “The organization has promoted the concept to its 131,176 clients thereby essentially making it the “second largest currency” in the world.” Yet another ridiculous statement. Also, you seem to have forgotten the qualifier “crypto” as I’m pretty sure the hundreds of physical currencies around the world are larger than it. The use of the word “Braces” in the headline is equally ridiculous. Let’s chat again the day after April Fool’s day and see if their market cap supports that 2nd position comment even with the crypto qualifier.
Now I understand why dumb article number one was written.
I agree Frank. This guy is clearly a shill. “Bitcoin has a serious problem…” followed by “Bitcoin braces for rival…” Nikhil Gupta is a joke. Who’s vetting his posts?
As CCN has stated – “And contrasting initial videos from the LEOcoin CEO (Dan Anderson) from summer of 2014 stating that LEOcoin will be widely accepted within six months, there is to date;
No merchants accepting it, online or otherwise.
Undisclosed pre-mining (unless you count this article).
A copy/paste of Bitcoin, no additional features.”
Brace Yourselves! Incoming pump and dump.
Full bitcoin nodes are required to store a record of every single transaction that takes place, and as this record grows, that in turn is decreasing the amount of people willing to pay for the escalating costs of running nodes. Wonder how they fix that? Problem when something is broken into 100,000,000 micro units out of a whole unit, too many little shits to keep track of and support. Also this leo farce is just a Ponzi. All crypto is crap!
you don’t understand the blockchain .. how it works .. what is in it .. the issues that surround it .. or the solutions. you are right about leocoin tho.
Yes I do understand the blockchain, it’s fatally flawed hence developers trying to figure out how to fix it.
“fatally” flawed – nope.
Yes.
i really hope your life isn’t as shallow as it appears to be that you spend as much time trolling for teh LELs. please tell me you have some agenda for all the faulty nonsense you regurgitate over and over.
Your the grandmaster troll. If what I say is so wrong and looney why do you go to such great lengths too make such jackass ghetto grammar posts about them. Makes you look like a total troll wich you most certainly are without a doubt what so ever. It seems I’ve gotten to you and you must settle the score or some such other foolishness. I didn’t think people were that petty anymore. You sure proved me wrong about that in spades didn’t you?
thank you for the flattering comments, but you clearly have an agenda here to smear bitcoin every chance you get with inflated lies and an annoyingly loud voice. it is astounding you devote so much time to something that you hate so dearly. sad. and astounding. you don’t respond well to being proven wrong and devolve to calling names like a child, cuz you literally are mentally or emotionally, maybe both.
Your agenda is to be a complete idiot and just troll comments on blogs.
my agenda was to straighten you out boy. but this has been more fun.
Straighten me out on what? Your overzealous and damn near cult like in your btc devotion. Loons like you are why btc is shunned by the world at large.
devotion? i’m afraid you’ve jumped to conclusions on very little empirical evidence. LOL
Err no your endless rants and goof ball replies pretty much prove my point.
what i’ve said doesn’t prove anything, but if making lame assumptions about what i think helps you stroke your epeen, then so be it. it makes little difference to me.
“what i’ve said doesn’t prove anything” applied to everything you’ve ever said and your 100% correct!
so how does it prove i’m devoted then? LOL yer sh!t don’t ever make sens d00d.
General cult like attitude, you come off like a ho dedicated to her pimp.
bitcoin is a better pimp than the crooked thieves you wh0re yourself out for
