I have a couple announcements today, first of all, I would like to announce the Crypto Currency Consultants. The CCC consists of myself, Nick Cote, and Ofer Shoshani. (more on that later) One of the first companies we are consulting with is called Ribbit.me Ribbit.me uses something called RibbitRewards, which is a cash back rewards system, but what makes it really special is that it crosses over into normal shopping as well as the world of cryptos. They wanted to come up with a way to incentivize people to get involved with blockchain technology in a fun and easy way. The challenge Bitcoin faces of course is that people have to learn new things and change their behavior to get into it. The promise of Ribbit.me and RibbitRewards, is that it works with people shopping how they are now, with dollars, or whatever, so they can just shop as they normally would and get RibbitRewards, and suddenly they are users of blockchain technology! Basically, without having to learn anything new, simply and easily. That is where the future marketplace.life will come in, the first global marketplace accepting all currencies, including crypto currencies. Buyers and sellers can earn RibbitRewards for each transaction. Sellers do not pay a commission to the marketplace, and a percentage of RibbitRewards generated through each transaction is donated to charity as determined by the community - So I think they really have a lot of amazing ideas here and an outstanding team. To be honest, when I saw what Greg Simon and his team had come up with, I contacted him and told him I wanted to help, simply because I was very impressed and I believe this can help bring more people into cryptos, which is great for everyone! ribbit.me (There will be free coins with air drops, merge mining with SHA and Scrypt, and there will be a pre-launch RibbitRewards auction)
