Norwegian Air CEO launches bitcoin-exchange, can sell airplane tickets for crypto currency!!!
Billionaire Executive Director Norwegian Air Bjørn Kjos launched the Norwegian Block Exchange (NBX) in April, company officials say they will "explore and exploit the potential opportunities that lie in blockade and accounting technologies."
The company raised $ 250,000 in the first round of capital and is owned by Observatoriet Invest, although Stig Kyos-Mathisen, Koos's son-in-law and NBX chairman, says that the Norwegian will be the main owner of the exchange on time.
NBX starts issuing a crypto exchange at the end of this year and will also open an airline business for accepting crypto currency.
"We are looking at things that are easily scalable. Incidentally, the presence of a crypt currency as a payment option in the airline, "said Kyos-Matisen yesterday. "We see that there is a need for a serious market where you can buy and sell crypt currencies."
NBX has ambitious plans to compete with stock exchanges, such as GDAX and Kraken.
Norwegian Air Shuttle - the largest airline in Scandinavia, the third-largest low-cost airline in Europe and the ninth-largest low-cost carrier in the world, transported 30 million people in 2016. Norway operates in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and manages 500 routes to 150 destinations in 35 countries.
"One of the most important things for us is to create an ecosystem around the solutions that we are developing. In particular, the ecosystem within the Norwegian group, as well as the ecosystem in the aviation industry, is important, "Kiosis-Mathisen said
Norway and Crypto-currency have complex relations
Norway has not always been hospitable for crypto-currencies, while a small crypto-exchange Bitmynt AS recently loses a claim against Nordea Bank. Nevertheless, adoption and integration are growing - the country's largest bank has adopted bitmykunuyu integration, and the central bank even offered the state-issued crypto currency as an alternative to cash.
