DocCoin Cryptocurrency Token for Global Telemedicine

Cryptocurrency is the currency of the future!
Cryptocurrencies are currencies built on top of a network of personal computers interconnected via the Internet. The current currencies have come to existence only because of lack of the Internet and computers at the time.

Cryptocurrencies are set up and ready to replace the conventional ordinary currencies, which are now outdated and have outlived their time. The cryptocurrencies are a result of technical progress, and their spread and development cannot be stopped, the same way as technical progress cannot be stopped.

A very important thing about cryptocurrencies is that they allow establishing direct connections between people, and these direct connections make many middlemen unnecessary for public, even such popular ones as the bankers, greedy people always pursuing their own interests.

With the help of cryptocurrencies ordinary people can exchange currencies using a program that is ‘not greedy’, ‘unselfish’ and reliable, because it is under public control, opened to everybody, and anyone can check the code of this program.

Cryptocurrencies are very convenient for people, and soon they will spread all over the computerized world and will be a very important part of it.

Health is very important in life, so the cryptocurrencies and the Internet must be used widely in the healthcare area, and this issue needs particular attention and should be set in high priority.

Telemedicine (or medicine on the Internet) is gaining momentum, although nowadays it consists mainly of remote medical consultations and monitoring of a person’s health through the Internet.

DocCoin is a cryptocurrency, or rather a cryptocurrency token, intended for rewarding consultants for services provided by the means of the ‘Doc in Pocket’ application.

Generally speaking, the difference between a cryptocurrency and a cryptocurrency token is that a token is issued by some company with a pre-announced special purpose, and “cryptocurrency as not a tokens” such as Bitcoin (BTC) is issued as a special kind of currencies issued in a decentralized manner, meaning without a central bank, by a spontaneous collective of volunteers.

With the help of the DocCoin token (abbreviated as DOC), clients can reward medical consultants for medical services directly, without middlemen.

Firstly, direct payments are quick, because they occur without unwieldy banks’ intermediation, which can transmit payments from one internal account to another before the money appears in the right place.

Secondly, payments by the DocCoin (DOC) token are reliable, because they are not affected by mistakes due to human nature, as they take place without the banks’ intermediation meaning without people working in banks. Cryptocurrencies exclude the human factor.

Thirdly, payments with the use of the DocCoin (DOC) token are simple and understandable, because they take place according to the rules that people themselves negotiate with each other, without burdening themselves with the rules and restrictions of middlemen banks.

All these advantages of direct payments without intermediary banks are possessed by all crypto-currencies and tokens without exception, irrespective of the field of their application.

But the difference between DocCoin (DOC) and other cryptocurrencies and tokens is that it is intended to be a part of the telemedicine system (“telemedicine ecosystem”). It is specifically designed for remuneration for medical advice and medical services.

This means, among other things, that DocCoin (DOC) in some respects is similar to state currencies. As one can see, the currency of any state is obligatory for admission on all its territory in exchange for any goods and services. Similarly, the DocCoin token is intended to be the same, although in a limited area. The token will be accepted in medical institutions with which the agreement will be signed in advance, in exchange for something tangible (medical consultations).

DocCoin (DOC) is a cryptocurrency token, which is not only built on the basis of the most advanced technologies providing direct, fast and reliable payments,
but, unlike many other cryptocurrencies, which no one is obliged to accept, it will be obligatory for admission in many (medical) institutions.
