4. October 1, 2015
Visa, MasterCard, American
Express and Discover liability shift
for POS terminals.
October 1, 2016
MasterCard liability shift for ATMs.
October 1, 2017
Visa, MasterCard, American
Express and Discover liability shift
for pay-at-pump gas stations, as
well as for Visa and AmEx at ATMs.
This liability shift is putting pressure
on merchants to comply with new EMV
security standards or risk being held
liable for all fraudulent transactions.
GoCoin arrives at just the right time,
offering merchants tokenized security
so they no longer have to view or store
credit card information, thus
eliminating security risks and liability.

8. “I believe merchants have been widely disappointed by the
number of transactions they see in bitcoin. Most merchants
have taken a passive approach to integrating bitcoin as a
payment method, instead of strategically testing and
optimizing checkout flows to encourage consumer adoption.”

Bitcoin’s lack of use in commerce is not
just a “chicken and egg” problem
Steve Beauregard, CEO of GoCoin Sources: Pantera Capital, ZepChain, CoinDesk (http://www.coindesk.com/is-bitcoins-merchant-appeal-fading/)
Consumer Adoption: The Long Pole in the Tent
Merchants generally welcome Bitcoin adoption
Lack of consumer adoption is the fundamental problem
Consumers need compelling reasons to use the volatile and still
relatively hard to acquire Bitcoin over alternatives
9. 9
How do we make mainstream consumers
care about Blockchain currencies?
It took 30 years for credit cards to be used
by 50% of households.
Mass adoption occurred in the late '80s
when credit card companies began offering
rewards and points programs. Sources: First data White Paper
Rewards have also
become a popular
feature. About 76%
of credit card holders
Receive rewards on
at least one card,
with 51% saying the
Rewards have a
strong impact on
usage. All told, 58%
of all credit cards
earn rewards.
16. Just by using the
GoPay system, you
will earn points to
redeem at any
GoPay merchant!

PCI-compliant, cloud-based GoPay Wallet that holds your credit cards,
