I like this long-form letter and the sober design, but isn't "one hundred percent reserve cryptocurrency depository institution, with regular balance sheet disclosures, comprehensive operational reports, instant interaccount transfers, personal client relationships, and support for most major cryptocurrencies and digital assets" what most exchanges already provide (at least allegedly)? Isn't this all that is needed for your institution to be target of a million hackers?

Check out "bitfinexed" on Twitter and Medium.

Global crypto markets are about to collapse, Mt Gox 2.0 style.

Get your popcorn ready.

They forgot writing about the most important thing: insurance for 100% of the stored value that they have.

Lloyds almost privided this service for 1%/year, but the deal fell apart.

Also I need secure, insured key signing services, not cryptocurrency storage as a service.

An "About" section would be nice. Banking is based around opacity and trust. There is little of both here, except for quite some opacity.

Absolutely - the current site is just a placeholder until the main site is launched, and I figured that it is better to be concise and explain what Trovard is trying to do instead of detailing a lot of background information (since the purpose is just to register peoples interest).
