Dear LCX community,
On July 10th, 2022, we had the most engaging and supportive AMA in our official Telegram chat, where our CEO, Monty C. M. Metzger (@montymetzger) answered questions from the community on various topics related to the LCX exchange revamp, iOS App, Tiamonds at NYC, upcoming launches, and more. We really appreciate the warm conversation with the community and would like to share the summary of our live Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, moderated by community moderator “King” & “Alex”.

Monty Metzger CEO:
Our telegram community is so strong and important to LCX
Monty Metzger CEO:
Thanks for all the recent feedback and support
Community Host
Could you just give us an highlight of the events in the past month before we move to the AMA proper?
Monty Metzger CEO:
So much has been happening recently.
Monty Metzger CEO:
While others struggled, we had been growing – hiring and rolling out products.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Bear market is the best time to build and grow!
Community Host
Awesome, great to hear from you.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Highlight of June 2022
Monty Metzger CEO:
1) LCX Token at Kraken – It was very exciting to see the LCX token listed on Kraken
Monty Metzger CEO:
This is a major step for our $LCX ecosystem.
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX is now listed with two trading pairs USD and EUR at one of the most reliable exchanges.
Community Host
???
Monty Metzger CEO:
After the coinbase listing last year, this was another MEGA MILESTONE.
Monty Metzger CEO:
And it was many many months in the making.
Community Host
Awesome!
Monty Metzger CEO:
2) I was a keynote speaker at MetaForum Lugano – Sharing knowledge and spreading awareness about Tokenization is always interesting and welcoming.
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX was also the sponsor of the Gala VIP Dinner where I also held a quick speech
Community Host
Interesting??
Monty Metzger CEO:
Lugano is growing in importance due to their regional governance initiatives. The city government is pushing and supporting crypto, blockchain and bitcoin
Monty Metzger CEO:
3) LCX Mobile iOS launch.
The LCX Mobile iOS community has been waiting for the LCX Mobile iOS launch for a long time, and we planned to deliver great work on time. iPhone users can even participate in the Token Sale via LCX Mobile iOS app.
Community Host
Amazing Update for LCX ??
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX Mobile for iOS was something our whole community had been waiting for! Now it is available for download.
Community Host
Yes, and the feedback has been so great??
Monty Metzger CEO:
The launch was smooth without any problems or issues. We got so much positive feedback!
Monty Metzger CEO:
Thank you all for this positive response!
Monty Metzger CEO:
4) LCX had been at EBC 2022. The European Blockchain Convention is one of the most important events in the industry. It was always a pleasure to be a part of such an informative and insightful event.
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX was sponsoring the event alongside Coinbase and many others
Monty Metzger CEO:
5) Tiamonds was present at #NFTNYC conference. That’s the biggest NFT conference in North America.
Monty Metzger CEO:
It was an amazing experience how people got excited after seeing Tiamonds truck in NYC and shared some amazing pictures with us.
Monty Metzger CEO:
6) LCX was also at the Consensus Convention in Austin Texas in June. We did present LCX and our token sale manager on digital screens all over the city.
Community Host
Very nice marketing !
Monty Metzger CEO:
More infos are at online at LCX.com/Austin
Community Host
Wow ?
Community Host
Interesting and great updates?
Monty Metzger CEO:
And 7)
We launched the Tiamonds Marketplace.
Monty Metzger CEO:
We wanted to make it easy for the community to buy and sell Tiamonds in one place, so we enhanced the marketplace with new features.
Community Host
Great!
Community Host
Awesome Monty ?
Community Host
Very lovely highlights and great developments from the team?
We have so many questions bothering around Tiamonds and TIA tokens.
Community Host
Let’s get started guys!
Community Host
These are your questions we compiled?
Community Host
One good reason why to buy or sell Tiamonds from Tiamonds marketplace instead of Opensea?
Community Host
Starting from here @montymetzger ?
Monty Metzger CEO:
Tiamonds is not just a marketplace but it has its own NFT. When you buy and sell on other platforms – e.g. at Open, you need to pay a fee of at least 10% but at Tiamonds Marketplace there is no such fee.
Community Host
Wow, that’s quite amazing and lovely?
Monty Metzger CEO:
And if the owners buy and sell Tiamonds at Tiamonds marketplace it will be easy and convenient for them. We have created a smooth and seamless marketplace where users will find transparency, easy access to bids and sales, and a user-friendly interface.
And as LCX is a regulated company, thus, going with LCX and its products is always a secure step. We not only make the exchange and token sale secure, but the diamonds that are attached to every Tiamond are safely stored in a vault with protection level 10 and 6 eyes principle. Therefore, going with Tiamonds Marketplace is safe and secure.
Community Host
Very nice Monty !!
Community Host
Let’s do the next question ?
Community Host
In which quarter will $TIA be listed on other exchanges?
Monty Metzger CEO:
We are planning to list the $TIA token on other exchanges. Things are in the pipeline and we are working out some details that need to be considered before listing the $TIA token. You will soon be able to see $TIA on other exchanges as well.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Our business development team is working on it, and once everything is finalized, we will share the update with the community through social media and our newsletter. But I can tell you it is coming…
Monty Metzger CEO:
We will start with tier 2 exchanges and then add some top tier exchanges as well.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Currently $TIA is listed on LCX Exchange with several pairs and at Uniswap
Community Host
Awesome, and this will take us to the next question ?
Community Host
Yes, amazing ! ?
Monty Metzger CEO:
It is great to see that usage is constantly growing with $TIA, so reflection, balancing and burn also show its effect
Community Host
That’s very important for the whole Ecosystem
Monty Metzger CEO:
Remember in every on-chain transaction, there is 10% deducted and shared with the community. 50% of that 10% will be re-distributed to all token holders.
Community Host
Very nice ?
Community Host
Next question
Community Host
Is Tiamonds partnering up with Diamond consumers and suppliers in near future?
Community Host
Great question!
Monty Metzger CEO:
Tiamonds is revolutionizing the Diamonds industry.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Tiamonds is already the largest blockchain-powered marketplace for diamonds NFTs worldwide.
Monty Metzger CEO:
And we are just getting started
Community Host
Interesting ???
Community Host
??
Monty Metzger CEO:
We are already working with some major industry players to source our Diamonds
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX believes in expansion, and if partnering with Diamond consumers and suppliers will be beneficial to the NFT community and LCX, then we will investigate the details prior to moving forward.
Our objective is to expand with the community and introduce something novel and innovative to the market. Therefore, the Tiamonds Marketplace is launched with new features so that the Tiamonds community can easily buy and sell. The newly added features will enhance the community’s experience and streamline the buying and selling of Tiamonds.
We are working on a few more Tiamonds-related ideas that will be revealed in the coming days. Things are still in the planning stages, which is why we cannot disclose specifics at this time. However, at least three to four initiatives are already in the pipeline, and all teams are working diligently to enhance your journey with Tiamonds.
Community Host
Awesome development.
Monty Metzger CEO:
For Example we work with some Diamond experts to source the Diamonds we buy for Tiamonds from Belgium and Switzerland.
Monty Metzger CEO:
All the diamonds come with a GIA certificate, that is more expensive than other certificates – but we believe it is worth it.
Monty Metzger CEO:
In addition all Diamonds are put in a safe and secure Vault in the Liechtenstein alps.
Monty Metzger CEO:
The Diamonds are fully insured by Lloyd’s London
Monty Metzger CEO:
I am certain that this will change the way people invest in Diamonds.
Monty Metzger CEO:
Diamond NFT’s will enable global investment, trade and transparency in Diamond.
Community Host
Adoption for mainstream???
Monty Metzger CEO:
yes
Community Host
Have got a question that’s frequently asked in the community ?
Community Host
When is the revamp planned? Countdown was announced for after the release of the app.
Monty Metzger CEO:
LCX Exchange is the core of LCX’s platform. You can use $LCX token to pay for trading fees for example
Community Host
Let’s forge ahead with this frequently ask question @montymetzger
Monty Metzger CEO:
That’s why we want to take the LCX Exchange to the next level.
Community Host
Indeed!
Monty Metzger CEO:
We will launch LCX Exchange revamp, with improved User Interface, Faster Trading Engine, high liquidity and many nice new functions
Monty Metzger CEO:
kind of LCX Exchange 2.0 if you would like to call it like this
Monty Metzger CEO:
Good things take time and we won’t launch an unfinished product.
Community Host
Wow, our users can’t wait for this?
Monty Metzger CEO:
The LCX exchange revamp is in process, and we don’t want to hurry with the development of it. There is a perfect quote, “He who is in a hurry always arrives late.” So we want to recheck every aspect, keep on testing every change and then present it to the community. Being a regulated and reputed company, we don’t want to present our product half-heartedly and then face repercussions. It’s better to test everything and then present the best version of it to the community.
Monty Metzger CEO:
But…. I can tell you it won’t be long anymore.
Community Host
Yes, it’s better to be delayed and come out with something to be wowed about?
Monty Metzger CEO:
And we will start a countdown in the next few weeks, as promised
Community Host
Awesome, and this will take us to the next question?
Community Host
What does a reward staking programme (roadmap) mean? Can we earn interest in lcx by staking lcx?
Monty Metzger CEO:
The rewards staking program is on our roadmap as well. And we will launch it when all aspects are ready.
Monty Metzger CEO:
I cannot share details right now.
Monty Metzger CEO:
But what we are finalizing as well, is our interest earning products. With the first one being the 10 Million EURO tokenized bond.
Monty Metzger CEO:
This is a financial product which will be approved by the regulator and passported all across Europe.
Monty Metzger CEO:
You all know BlockFi and Celsius… they have been offering interest earning accounts without any approvals.
Monty Metzger CEO:
And now you see that will cause problems on all fronts, regulators and consumers suing them. No a trustworthy and reliable solution for the long term.
Monty Metzger CEO:
The tokenized bond on Euro will change this
Monty Metzger CEO:

Community Host
Thanks for the insight and this will also take us to a very important question from the community.
Community Host
New fiat deposits and withdrawals?
Monty Metzger CEO:
We have many options on the table and can implement many currencies. Let us know on twitter @LCX which currencies you want
Community Host
Great!
Monty Metzger CEO:
Currently we do support indirectly USD via USDC and EURO.
Community Host

Community Host

Community Host
Are we ready guys?
Community
Any updates on US regulation in regards to ICO’s and US citizens being able to buy?
Monty Metzger CEO:
I will try to answer as many questions as possible
Community
When does LCX plan to dethrone Goldman Sachs?
Community Host
Awesome!
Community Host
???
Monty Metzger CEO:
Any time ??
Community
What about utility tokens listed on the exchange? It was said the interest is massive and we will see at least 1 offering per month. What happened? Is it the market conditions?
Monty Metzger CEO:
We have listed many tokens, but maintaining liquidity across all tokens is a challenge. Thus we slowed down. In addition we only want to list high quality tokens. We are doing deep Due diligence for every token we on-board and legal opinions are required.
Community
Do you (@montymetzger) have a working relationship with Gil (QNT CEO) ?
Monty Metzger CEO:
Yes, we are often communicating directly. Here is the AMA we did a while ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0NdMdVTh_0

Monty Metzger CEO:
Yes, a key priority for us. But there is no washtrading and fake liquidity.
