Just Noticed ybcoin is at 17 spot on coinmarketcap.com

So it appears this is China's version of GoldCoin.  Man...they just copied us I suppose.  Anyhow...good luck with that long term since most of the world studies English as a second language.

I think there may be an issue with Google translate as it pertains to this name.

According to my understanding the coin's English name is YbCoin which is short for "Yuanbao". Yuanbao (aka Good Luck Coins) were used in ancient China as money and are sometimes made from gold, but not always.
