Who we are
Our mission
Our mission is to break through the complexity of digital currency so that everyone can participate in the prosperity of the future with managed risk.
Accessible
Investing in crypto currencies is very complex and also has many risks. Apart from investment risks, there are also technical risks. How do you make a transaction? Where do you store crypto currencies? What are reliable trading platforms? How do I make sure I don't get hacked? How can I get my investment back into my bank account? We take these and other concerns completely out of your hands. Our specialists are very experienced in this and know how it works. Poolder makes sure this market is very accessible.
Reliable
Poolder is a reliable party and only does business with reliable partners. Poolder is registered with the AFM and does extensive research into the reliability of its investments through its own developed machine that analyses all (public) information on the blockchain, as well as technical audit reports, its own technical analyses of the codes and the reliability, origin and legitimacy of the smart contracts. This way, we know who and what we are doing business with and whether our investments can be trusted.
Active Risk Management
Investing on Blockchain and investing with Digital Currencies requires specific knowledge and risk. Because Poolder has been active in this market for years, it knows the ropes. Based on this expertise, we have developed a machine that can recognise, control, monitor and predict the risks of this market on the basis of algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
