Good team...

Really? New / Young blood is fine but never heard of em. So what exactly makes them that? And the two word shill reminisces goldbug style. Can't cpunks make better announcements?

Freemit (New York City, NY) http://www.freemit.com

Freemit is creating an alternative to current remittance and currency exchange systems. It uses the blockchain and a local currency in/local currency out service, along with a phone app and virtual credit card, to simplify and streamline cross-border money transfers.

They littered Btc symbol over their page though it's probably not solely that, have no whitepapers, no product (except for the iOS spy app), demand KYC, pointlessly lame website, based in the US, cloudflared, lying about 'free', debit card (lol), email collecting, not opensource, not available for Win/Unix PC's, etc. Just another centralized service among hundreds claiming to be something different and affiliating themselves with something they're not. Not to mention you can get all you need and more from BTC, well, except for a nanny (and maybe tx/sec and GiB's... till fixed). Or Ethereum or whatever else decentral and suitably anon. Or is this like the not really p2p different but still thorny Uber "alternative" to the Big Banking + IBM coin announcement? Now imagine a truly p2p ride service... buyers and sellers in direct contact, no middlemen, nice little sidechain of pki based reviews, document validation if you really care, etc. No need for Uber. And as far as anyone can read / tell, not Freemit either.
