Cryptoqueen 对Ruja博士的看法和感言

Business woman of the year 2014 Dr. Ruja Ignatova

Let me introduce you to a very bright young woman…..

The other day I had a meeting with a remarkable woman, Dr. Ruja. She is young, apart and brilliant. This was the first time I met her, but I had a feeling I’ve could have known her since long, as she was an open minded woman, easy to talk to.

Dr. Ruja is the founder of One Coin. Now you might ask yourself, what on earth is One Coin? That question I had to ask the first time I heard about it.

In very simple words, One Coin is “electronic money”.

Dr. Ruja was born in Bulgaria, but moved with her parents to Germany at an age of 10. She went to school in Germany and after high school she took LAW at the university in both Germany and Oxford, England.

She finds law being something very logical. She explains, to practice law you just have to think logical……might not be every man’s case.

She has a close and dear relationship with numbers.

After finishing her studies she started to work for the management and consulting company Mc Kenzie. She was not really interested in banking, but still ended up with it and during many years she worked in Moscow.

After a while she found out she had fallen in love with banking. She stayed in the company Mc Kenzie for 5 ½ years and became its youngest partner ever.

She was very much into risk management and started early to follow the currency BIT COIN.

BIT COIN is another crypto currency that more people are familiar with.

During 2013 BIT COIN was booming and was seen as the fastest growing currency and made 75 times its value.

Ms. Ruja was seriously discussing BIT COIN with some close friends in year 2013 and her friends suggested to her, “do your own currency….”

She didn’t have to think long. Let’s do it and become one of the 3 top currencies, became her motto and she’s already on her way to the top.

I was told that there are not less than 400 different crypto currencies on the market, something not many people know about, I didn’t.

Ms. Ruja decided to leave Mc Kenzie and start her own company for assets management in Bulgaria.

I, of course, had to ask Ms. Ruja what the difference between Bit Coin and One Coin is and she explained to me,

“the target group for BIT COIN are IT people and technical staff.

ONE COIN has a very low entry level and is for EVERYBODY.

The volatility of BIT COIN is also very big. ONE COIN is providing a steady environment in a sustainable way, not growing too fast.

ONE COIN is counting on 500.000 members/customers or even more, at the end of 2015.

Bill Gates once said that crypto currency will only have a market in emerging economies and I wanted to know what Dr. Ruja thinks about this. She said, “I agree with Bill Gates”. She compares crypto currency with gold. She also explains that an advantage with this kind of currency is that you can easily link it to credit cards. It’s easy to get to your money and fast.

In fact it would be possible for crypto currency to replace a bank. The banks don’t even want to touch this currency she tells me. No wonder……

When I asked how she looks at the evolution in the first year after an introduction on the exchange, Dr. Ruja says, “I prefer not to speculate as nobody really knows”.

I also had to ask some more private questions like, are you married? By this question her eyes start shining and her face lights up and she gives me a warm smile, “yes, I have been married 10 years now and my husband is my best friend and companion. We met when I was only 19 and it was LOVE by first sight. When I saw him at the university, I immediately knew, this guy I will marry.”

Her husband is a well-reputed lawyer and works in Frankfurt there the couple has their home.

While she is travelling a lot, he is based in Frankfurt and doesn’t travel much.

There has been no time to think about children yet, but I understood that a child would be very welcome in the future.

I also had to ask the compulsory question, if you could chose a destination for your next trip, where would it be? The answer came quick, “home” and home is Frankfurt today.

Time for any hobbies was my next question. “Yes of course Dr. Ruja answers. “I love to read and it can be any type of books and I also enjoy playing Chess”. No wonder, to become a good chess player you need to be logical and have a clue about math.

This is not her first trip to Asia, but it’s her first time in Bangkok. She finds Asia so different from Europe and very interesting. Asia is going to boom and become a huge market for One Coin, so I will have to spend a lot of time here in the future, she tells.

This woman is very interesting to talk to and we could have gone on and on, me questioning and she answering and explaining.

End of year 2014, Dr. Ruja started a Foundation called ONE WORLD FOUNDATION.

One World Foundation will provide children and youth with education and opportunities for a better life. In 2015 the Foundation was introduced to representatives of the business society and media at the Grand Hotel Sofia, in Bulgaria’s capital Sofia.

Dr. Ruja says “ I am extremely proud, that One World Foundation already has done it’s first donation to blind children in Cambodia”. This donation has provided the Foundation with a place among the major donors of SEVA Canada Society.

All revenues from the sales of her book “Learning for profit” will be donated in the future to the Foundation.

Dr. Ruja points out that everyone can contribute to make a better future for children around the world by supporting the One World Foundation.

The Foundation will work closely with SEVA Canada Society on projects that aim to improve quality of life for Nepalese, Tibetans, some areas in China, India, Africa, Guatemala, Cambodia and Egypt.

The Foundation as well, supports Teach for Bulgaria projects, aimed to improve the quality of education in Bulgaria.

Let us hope that Dr. Rujas goal to make ONE COIN to one of the most popular virtual currencies worldwide, comes true.

Of course, it wouldn’t be possible for Dr. Ruja to handle the business all by herself, even if she is very efficient and focused. By her side she has 2 Swedish men, Juha Parhiala and Sebastian Greenwood. Their names don’t really sound typical Swedish and they both do have mixed blood, but they speak Swedish and act Swedish.

Both these men are very much familiar with MLM companies. Now you might wonder, what is MLM companies? The English word is Multi Level Marketing. You organize meetings and get people to sell your products and they get new people to do the same, it’s an ongoing networking. For many of us the companies like NU SKIN, NONI, ORIFLAME are known MLM companies among thousand others.

Both Daniel (the photographer) and I happened to attend one of the ONE COIN presentations, which took place here in Bangkok at Hotel Rembrandt. Dr. Ruja came from Hong Kong to make the presentation herself and was in good company of Juha, Sebastian and some other speakers.

If you ask me to explain what a meeting like this is alike, I would say, “it’s a big road show, like a pop gala”. When I saw Mr. Juha on stage, he reminded me of a revivalist or a guru. The audience was thrilled and the excitement huge. The women, surprisingly many, were dressed like they were attending a wedding or at least a cocktail party and many men were dressed in tuxedos with flowers in their breast pockets. Must say, it was an amazing sight.

Juha started his career as a bartender and cook. He has managed several restaurants and bars in Scandinavia. 23 years ago he discovered the “networking” business and he has been active in Asia since 15 years. He is ranked as top income receiptience in the growing network business.

One year ago, he joined Dr. Ruja and Sebastian in the One Coin business and Juha’s goal is to have as many members as possible at the end of 2015.

The guy is in the end of his 50’s and has done an amazing career.

Sebastian, he was born in Stockholm, Sweden and raised internationally. He has gained significant experience from building large worldwide business networks with more than 500.000 people. His latest challenge is launching One Coin and build a network audience of more than 1 million coin miners (what a goal) within a short time of 3 years. STRONG LEADERSHIP is the motto of Sebastian. He carries one vision, one goal, one network and last, but not least ONE COIN.

Let us follow this currency and see if these dynamic 3 persons will be able to reach their goal.

I only say GOOD LUCK!
