@yokokawa244 how do you benefit from this? or is this one of those switcharoos where developers build using your product and months later you start charging $10 a call
@yair_goldstof I agree with your opinion because cryptocurrency is really quite relevant today. It has always been relevant to find new ways to invest in modern times. Cryptocurrency fits perfectly to such a case, so I support it this way. Despite the fact that now there is a new meta-universe that can replace cryptocurrency and become a new leader in investments, I plan to continue cooperating with brokerage companies that are absolute pro in this field. I plan to find new ways. Namely, you can read more to see specific options.
@ihunanyachi thank you! our team was very intentional with design - we appreciate the compliment! please try out Crypto API and let us know it it goes!
