Interview

Afanddy B Hushni, president of Beldex, gave an interview to the CryptoKnowMics website at the World Blockchain Summit in Bangkok. In this interview which was published on December 11, 2019, various aspects of decentralized exchanges, privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and Shariah compliance in the cryptocurrency sector were discussed.

During the interview, Afanddy highlighted Beldex's upcoming plans to launch its own exchange. He emphasized the platform's strong focus on privacy, noting that unlike Bitcoin, Beldex is designed to conceal user identities and transaction details. This privacy-centric approach aims to address concerns regarding user anonymity in the crypto space.

Afanddy explained the advantages of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), where users retain control over their funds, in contrast to centralized exchanges that store user data and assets in a single location. He noted that Beldex promotes a decentralized system, ensuring that funds are securely stored on the blockchain. This decentralized model can enhance security and privacy for users, reducing the risks associated with centralized exchanges.

Additionally, Afanddy mentioned that Beldex offers users the flexibility to choose between decentralized and centralized exchanges based on their individual needs and preferences. This option allows users to select the exchange model that best suits their requirements.

A key point in the discussion was Beldex's status as the first Shariah-compliant exchange, adhering to Islamic law by avoiding activities such as money laundering and Ponzi schemes.

Afanddy also addressed the common misconception that cryptocurrency is synonymous with Bitcoin. He encouraged users to explore the broader market, which includes over 10,000 altcoins, highlighting the diversity and potential of cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin.

Finally, Afanddy invited users to engage with the Beldex platform through their website and Telegram community, emphasizing the importance of transparency and community involvement in building trust within the ecosystem. ^[6]
