"Does country-led currency driven by individual country conditions (corruption, etc.) still make sense in a global internet-led world? Governments are racing to create digital currencies, pushing fiat currency systems online, and bringing about a new wave of digital currency adoption that matches our digital lifestyle. Essentially because we live in the 21st century with a 19th-century financial system."

Here is a great blog by our CEO, Danial Daychopan, on how Bitcoin is the next logical step in the evolution of money. It also includes some great insight as to the origins of money and what's in store for us in the not-so-distant future.

Here is another great article covering the innovation behind Pluton Rewards (PLU) and why it is so beneficial to you. Our members have already acquired monumental amounts of PLU in a very short time period and we have plenty more exciting money-saving programmes in the pipeline.

"Currently, loyalty rewards such as Nectar Points or Avios Air Miles are focused on retaining customers to a specific retailer or brand, however, the growing demand for more freedom of choice suggests this might be outdated. Pluton was the first company to come up with a decentralized loyalty token which can be earnt at any merchant worldwide, greatly increasing the opportunities of earning rewards."
