GroupM Singapore Pte Ltd: GroupM Zilliqa Programmatic Ad Blockchain Alliance

Who is GroupM?
GroupM was formed in 2003 by WPP Group to serve as the parent company of WPP's media agencies, including Mindshare, MediaCom, Neo Media World, Wavemaker, Greenhouse Group, Essence Global, m/SIX, QUISMA, Xaxis, Outrider, Catalyst, Quasar, Movent, Vocanic, and Plista.
The company handles over 32% of the world's media billings, making it the world's largest media investment management operation.

Aqilliz's CEO from October this year will be Gowthaman "G'Man" Ragothaman, former global client lead at WPP, the world's largest advertising company. Based on the precedent on which Aqilliz is built, and on the fact that Ragothaman is its CEO, Aqilliz could be envisioned as something of a to-market version of the successful Project Proton trial.

Mindshare, whose clients include PepsiCo and many more, is a WPP subsidiary, as is GroupM, where Ragothaman was heading up blockchain initiatives. Elsewhere in the supply chain, Project Proton included the MediaMath real-time ad-buying platform, which describes itself as "trusted by two-thirds of the Fortune 500", and the Rubicon Project ad exchange, which processes ads across millions of websites.

Singapore Blockchain
Ecosystem 2019
Driving towards a decentralized world:
A glimpse into Singapore’s vibrant and diverse blockchain landscape

Zilliqa mentioned 8 times..P18,21,22.54,66

WOW  

                                                                                         ^Zilliqa                                                                         ^Aqilliz
 

Singapore blockchain ecosystem 2019 has Zilliqa at the protocol level and Aqilliz at the Solutions and Consulting level.
Also Xfers at the application level.

One of the key reasons ETH went over $1 was when they announced they would add Staking.
People began stocking up on ETH and the price shot up from 70cents to $30+within a month.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=428589.msg13523670#msg13523670
That was 4 years ago ...and still no staking!

Now Zilliqa are doing Staking and should go live sometime within the next 3months.
If you are considering staking...now would be the best time to begin stocking up ,while its cheap.

 

Hi ,
 Your welcome  

Very nice info from Amrit...i like.  

Obviously they will use Zil, its got three things for this use case that ETH hasnt..high throughput,fast tx speed and low cost.
Then other stablecoins will look at Zil and join in with their projects.
Zilliqa will be hosting more stablecoins than any other Blockchain.

The worlds first National currency in tokenised form..XSGD on Zilliqa....it will be awesome...$1Bill cap minimum.
When it starts shooting up..the whole crypto world will be here asking allsorts,lol, fun times ahead,lol.

I think XSGD will be released around 28 Jan 2020..once the new laws are in place.

You prob right, i dont know much about Val or the two policy pal network coin things.
 its shocking to see scammers getting away with things...esp when involved with MAS.

 

https://www.mas.gov.sg/-/media/MAS/ProjectUbin/Project-Ubin--SGD-on-Distributed-Ledger.pdf

Project Ubin's objective was to
evaluate the implications of a
tokenized SGD on a distributed    <---XSGD  
ledger with potential benefits to
Singapore’s financial ecosystem.

• In Phase 1, the project leveraged
on the MAS MEPS+ system to
enable real-time fund transfers
to issue funds on a DLT. Project
Ubin’s next phases will explore
improvements in domestic
and cross-border securities
transactions

Project Ubin will be implemented
in phases, starting with a DLT for
domestic payments. Subsequent
phases will explore cross-border
payments in a single currency,
settling different currencies and
culminate with risk free cross
currency securities settlements.

Catalysing Non-Financial Applications of Blockchain (Mar 2018)

In early 2018, there was a relatively vibrant ecosystem in Singapore exploring the use of blockchain in various applications in the financial sector. However, comparatively, the application of blockchain in other sectors was relatively nascent. The 1st Blockchain Challenge sought to enable companies to develop pioneering solutions using blockchain beyond financial applications.

Growing and Connecting Blockchain Business Networks (Nov 2019)

 

Discussions began a while back.
This is from Amrit, Zilliqa President.
https://www.reddit.com/r/zilliqa/comments/c2hbha/staking_for_zilliqa_exploration_of_possibilities/

AFAIK, things have progressed well and they are now looking at doing ..Option 2
 The second-level is to have staking for ancillary nodes. These are the nodes that do not participate in the consensus protocol but instead serve the network in other forms. Example of such nodes are seed nodes that help store transaction history for the network. Services such as exchanges and explorers often run seed nodes. Adding staking at this layer is slightly intrusive as the protocol will have to be changed.

Seed node staking...POW will remain the same aswell.

Also this...
Around 6months ago former Zilliqa President and co-founder Xinshu Dong left Zilliqa to create a Staking service... https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2019/08/07/rockx-crypto-platform-zilliqa/

Zil bottomed...now...
Up goes Zil 

                   
Thanks. Glad your enjoying reading this thread.
I wouldn't say insights, but do agree i see the potential of Zilliqa especially as we head into a new decade, Zil tech is leagues above anyone else.

Ok everything im saying is just my thoughts...and i could be wrong.

Price of Bitcoin and entire Mcap this year could depend on a few things...

BTC and BCH halvenings could have a price increase but it wont last long because of USDT, MT GOX and new regulations.
USDT provided major buy support in 2019 and if its shut down this year, it will cause a huge dump down because buy support wont be their.
Add the fact that MT GOX coins should be handed back, then expect alot of big sells..
Then their is the regulations that will lead to alot more KYC/AML ,FATF and The new EU rules 5AMLD taking place next week.

So i do expect a few times this year some real big dumps, with the whole market dropping alongside.
The top 10 ,excluding Bitcoin has changed almost every year, with new coins coming into the top 10 all the time...this will happen again.

Now the good imo , new compliant and regulated stablecoins/CBDC will come out and they will seek to launch on low cost high throughput Blockchains...Zilliqa is top of the list...
These stablecoins will be on all exchanges that comply with the new regulations (no more USDT)...(Zilliqa working with Elliptic is great)

New DEX will come out made on Zilliqa...these will have decentralised stablecoins similar to DAI...

If scammy BlockstreamBTC favouring USDT could take crypto to $800bill....
Then legit Stablecoins/CDBDCs could take crypto to the $trillions easily...but they dont need to pump or buy btc, they prob do it with the tech thats securing their businesses and future ideas (Zilliqa)

Zilliqa low environment impact will be a huge bonus as we head into a new age of climate awareness,
 sha256POW miners and others high energy consuming ,slow and expensive blockchains will be frowned upon.

Zilliqa super secure Smart contract tech (OOPSLA approved) will shine with growing new devs&dapps and devs&dapps from other coins will create on Zilliqa...because it makes perfect business sense to work on something more secure,higher throughput and cheaper than all.


I think we are heading into a new era for all of crypto and the old tech days are numbered at the top, they will have a short term effect on the entire market.
The new stablecoins will come out and begin buying the new tech.
The big business and banks need Zilliqa more than Zilliqa needs them...and this will happen this year.

Also i hear Staking is coming to Zil sometime early Q2 2020.  

Zilliqa price sometime this year will be over $1...It could go to $5-$10 if things go parabolic...
Its gonna be a crazy year, not for the faint hearted, lol....
Good luck to you and everyone this new decade and beyond.  

    SWIFT......Zilliqa 

Is this why XSGD is coming, to strengthen the Singapore Dollar?...

https://www.straitstimes.com/business/economy/10-things-you-should-know-about-singapores-monetary-policy

 HOW DOES MAS MANAGE ITS MONETARY POLICY?
Most countries, including the United States and China, adopt an interest rate policy where central banks raise or cut interest rates.

Singapore is the only major economy in the world to use the exchange rate, guiding the Singdollar higher or lower.

MAS says the exchange rate is the best tool for a small, open economy like Singapore. It is a more effective way to manage inflation, as much of the country's consumer goods are imported.

MAS lets the Singdollar rise or fall against an undisclosed basket of currencies of its main trading partners, intervening when needed to keep the exchange rate within its unspecified target band.

To deter speculation and be more effective, MAS does not disclose what is in its basket of currencies or specify its trading band.

It adjusts the pace of appreciation or depreciation of the Singdollar by changing the slope, width and centre of this trading band.





They are expanding into the Blockchain with XSGD ,the management of the Singapore Dollar to make it higher....
could they be planning to use crypto in their basket to control its trading band?
XSGD could be the easiest way for them to buy crypto....
Zilliqa is the tech that they use for their regulated CBDC that will give them more leverage for SGD with a more powerful basket for their trading band.

Interesting..you prob know more about this than me but from what i can see..
 Is MAS working with Policypal?
 No, The Policypal management team tout Policypal Singapore as the first graduate of the fintech sandbox of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS),
     They claim to have MAS connections but really have a MAS Sandbox Graduate. Looks like they got the license then scammed.

https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/insurance-start-up-policypal-graduates-from-mas-fintech-regulatory


Yes you are right MAS is not SEC, its bigger, lets see what each are....

MAS is a Money Authority , The Monetary Authority of Singapore is Singapore's central bank and financial regulatory authority. It administers the various statutes pertaining to money, banking, insurance, securities and the financial sector in general, as well as currency issuance.
unlike many other central banks such as Federal Reserve System or Bank of England,
WHAT IS MONETARY POLICY?
The way a country controls the supply of money to consumers and businesses, often targeting an inflation rate or interest rate, to encourage prices of goods and service to remain stable and promote economic growth.
MAS does not regulate the monetary system via interest rates to influence the liquidity in the system. Instead, it chooses to do it via the foreign exchange mechanism.(woa,check next post)

SEC ,The U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a three-part mission: Protect investors. Maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets. Facilitate capital formation. The SEC deal with monetary compliance.

Great presentation of Zilliqa Blockchain  

^ You never know...
Zilliqa is one of the best Blockchain techs in the world today...and the ONLY one that has a Monetary Policy maker MAS that has approved a 1-1 regulated Stablecoin.

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/49659/report-chinas-central-bank-to-test-digital-currency-in-two-cities-partnering-with-state-backed-commercial-banks-and-telecom-giants

China’s central bank will soon test its digital currency in the cities of Shenzhen and Suzhou, per Chinese news site Caijing

Four state-owned commercial banks are racing to find the best implementation strategies of digital currency, in collaboration with three telecom giants in China

The central bank is said to have accelerated its digital currency program, prompted by Facebook’s Libra project



Find the best implementation strategies of digital currency?
Zilliqa is the answer.

I know this thread is read by a lot of Elites.
All of them should be looking at Zilliqa asap.
