💰 [ANN][ICO][AGT] 💰 AGATE - Paypal for crypto currencies 💰

[cantorcrypt]

What about airdrop or bounty program now? Are they available? May I join now?

[ArceriBau]

Well paypal is f****** me over with their restrictions on crypto so I am all on this project.

I agree, paypal has just tampered with things lately so I'm glad things are moving in this direction

it would be nice to have this as an option. A lot of people are unhappy with paypals restrictions on crypto.

In fact, we use the Paypal name to better understand our project. Agate would have much more functionality than PayPal in fiat economy due to being decentralise and also being as platform for all developers to run their DApp on it.

but then in what ways is it similar to PayPal?

Let's have a brief comparison just in merchant solutions:

PayPal

Provides online payment solutions to its users. It enables its users to transact money through their account balances, bank accounts, credit cards. Make an online payment, receive money or set up a merchant account.

Agate

1) Agate currently accepts five most important cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin, and we plan to increase the total number of coins to over 17, making it the choice to transact via the Agate platform an easy one. Merchants would receive the exact dollar value every time.
2) By allowing transactions back to cash, merchants are assured that they can transfer to fiat money quickly for everyday use in their business.
3) In the Agate iFiat Ecosystem, all funds are immediately available and spendable for merchant.

So we needed to use something similar like PayPal (NOT EXACTLY) to introduce the Agate project.

Still, it's not that far off, and the matter of fact is that we need a replacement for PayPal or similar sites and this is as good as it gets right now.

just to add a quick note that PayPal for crypto currencies is the title which community consider for Agate, while if you check this project you'll see it has far more capability and potential than what PayPal providing in fiat economy at the moment, but to make it easier to understand for general public as Agate would facilitate the crypto payment in a very cheap and fast way and more importantly without volatility for merchants and can be integrate with almost all e-commerce platforms and online websites they people call it paypal for crypto.

Thank you very much for a detailed explanation

It is similar to Paypal in terms being a payment solution, but it offers much more that Paypal.You get so many options to pay with, you get money almost instantly.One really important thing is that there are no transactions that can be stopped, banned and similar things that Paypal does

Marketing and PR are huge factors in the outcome of a project. You can have the best product out there, but if you can't surface, you can call it quits.

developing and marketing should imho have the same value in a project because one can not survive without the other. It's a synergy of both efforts at just the right time. And if you want the best results you have to get the help of industry professionals.
