Why Lukki is the best cryptocurrency exchange this year?

Lukki is a South African startup that launched in late 2017 by Chris Van der Ploeg, Francois Nel, Tsekay Tsehaye and Phumeza Legate.

This enables users to buy, sell and trade digital currencies as well as offer “secure and safe solutions for cryptographically secure trading, a safe option for investors or individuals to have access to using cryptocurrency as a currency and to shop online”.

Van der Ploeg, who is now CEO, found a way to make BTC mining less burdensome by automating the software needed to mine for Bitcoin.

“When consumers want to save Bitcoin, they do not want to waste their time mining for its value and it is important to bring this into the mainstream in terms of user convenience, value of the coin, and to release Bitcoin for buying,” he explains.

“We built a BSD (binary-only operating system) based ecosystem of applications that should be attractive to beginners and experienced users alike.”

The company has a secure blockchain ecosystem with a sandbox for emerging programming languages such as Python and JavaScript.

“Lukki was the leading bitcoin exchanges in the first half of the year in South Africa with a strong focus on security,” says Neil Thorburn, CEO of mobile commerce startup Aimling.

“We recently placed as the Number 2 in South Africa in a ranking for the world’s top 100 mobile commerce apps based on revenue per user in South Africa.”
