Interview with Scott Douglas, founder of Crypto improvement fund.
What are the objectives of Crypto improvement fund?
The Crypto Improvement Fund aims to accomplish one simple task – aid businesses in understanding and incorporating cryptocurrency into their existing environment. We will be educating businesses on the practical applications of cryptocurrency and decentralized ledger as well as the potential ROI tied to integrating Cryptocurrency into their existing eCommerce environment. We will offer cryptocurrency SaaS products as well as blockchain education and consultation. Showing them on how to cut costs and increase operational efficiency through the use of blockchain and decentralized ledger.
There is a huge market of cryptocurrency owners which would like to spend their cryptos 
directly with businesses. Businesses serving these customers will have an advantage, accessing a niche market with a market cap of over 200B dollars. The Crypto Improvement Fund will learn with every business implementation and will fine tune their SAAS offering – tailoring them to each specific business client. CIF (Crypto Improvement Fund) will promote general cryptocurrency adoption all while aligning their name with F500 companies – aiding in cryptocurrency adoption and acceptance, industry wide.
What is the state of cryptocurrency adoption in Canada?
Cryptocurrency adoption in Canada is on pace with the rest of world when it comes to adoption. Our government is a little bit more lenient towards cryptocurrency projects than some other federal bodies however this hasn’t spilled over into the retail/ eCommerce space. With only 5 of the top 500 online merchants accepting cryptocurrency on a global scale – we still have alot of work to do.
What are the barriers to further adoption?
Education is the largest barrier to adoption. We have to help individuals and corporate entities understand what cryptocurrency is, the benefits, regulatory considerations and potential ROI of cryptocurrency.
How can these barriers be turned into opportunities?
Through education, we can not only educate businesses on benefits cryptocurrency brings, but also allow us to sell a variety of products and services to them. We have cryptocurrency educators on board who can explain how business can profit from cryptocurrency in a safe, inexpensive way.
What are the specific skills needed to do the above?
We have to bring a qualified team and place them in front of businesses. We have to operate in the same manor as any other corporate entity and remove the smoke and mirrors from the industry. Our hope is that with a sound business plan and industry experts we can get speak to businesses on their level and help them understand, and trust how cryptocurrency can benefit them.
Who is the team behind Crypto improvement fund and what do they bring to this project?
Our team is comprised of tenured individuals who have extensive experience in business sales, marketing growth and strategy as well as software and blockchain development.
