So, what on Earth is GenCoin?

Season 1 introduced GenCoin’s founder, Izzy Morales (Otmara Marrero), who spent seven years perfecting a digital currency algorithm that “predicts, adjusts and adapts to market and political shifts in order to remain stable”. In that sense, it one-ups Bitcoin. “Bitcoin is a cute idea,” as Izzy put it, “but it is susceptible to third-party interference and ultimately corruption.” 

GenCoin also makes secure and anonymous payments available to “unbanked” people (those who can’t have bank accounts), so long as they have a mobile phone. The big banks aren’t going to like that very much…

Not exactly. It’s basically owned by the Russian mob now, so there’s that minor glitch, but Izzy and her cohorts Ronald (Edi Gathegi) and Nick (Adam Brody) have a plan. Their new project is called ArakNet, and it’s backed by multimillionaire Wes Chandler (Ron Perlman).
 

How is Martin Freeman sounding?
