I AM LONGTERM HODLING AMP ----
For those of you familiar with AMP, feel free to check out all the links, videos, and podcasts below that really encapsulate the high velocity evolution of what's going on with the Flexa network and the AMP token.
AMP Token overview: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/amp/
I am extremely bullish on the AMP token, Flexa Network and all the incredibly smart and motivated people behind this project as well as the retail merchant and crypto industry partnerships they’ve formed in a very short period of time.
This is a revolutionary way to simplify payments and requires NO CHANGES to retailers current point of sale (POS) systems. You simply scan your QR code on the app at the cashier and it takes seconds. You can pay with Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ether, or stablecoins pegged to $1 like the Gemini dollar. They will be adding many more in the coming months.
Currently you can use the SPEDN app at 40,000 stores in the US and Canada including: Lowe’s home improvement, Nordstrom & Nordstrom Rack, Petco, Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins, Office Depot & Office Max, Ulta Beauty, Gamestop, AMC Theatres, Regal Theatres, Alamo Drafthouse and more. They will be adding many more and soon enough this will be completely ubiquitous.
The major advantage for the retailers is that they will pay drastically less in payment processing fees as well as enjoy the reduction of billions of dollars in fraudulent activity associated with credit card payments etc.
In recent months, major developments include: launching the new AMP token, receiving the Gemini Exchange custodian endorsement and the buying/selling of the AMP token on the Gemini Exchange, receiving Coinbase Custody, and announcing some really exciting partnerships with some huge retailers and other crypto platforms. Soon this will be available to trade on Coinbase and Binance - when that happens and further integration of the Flexa network is realized in payment processing with partnerships with Shopify, NCR and Clover, the coin will explode.
