REM's partner ecosystem is expanding across crypto & traditional categories. Earn when you pay rent, buy beer, shop at Whole Foods, etc. Redeem through existing loyalty programs, Uber, or even for cash.

Swych is a global gifting and shopping network using Stellar to offer an instant, cross-border, secure & scalable way to send personalized relevant gifts and incentives globally. Swych is launching Shoken, a universal shopping token, as the underlying cryptocurrency representing a gift on the Swych network, which can be used by the recipient to shop 5B+ product SKUs from 1000s of retailers across the globe. Retailers don't have to make any change to their Point-of-Sale or IT systems as the transaction is "switched" in real-time using retailer's own branded currency ( gift cards, vouchers etc.). Shokens can be seamlessly spent across all retail categories independent of the underlying fiat currency or location.

TillBilly is a Stellar based digital payments network with a unique point of sale hardware terminal that empowers everyday shoppers to make contactless payments, automatically get digital receipts (tax invoices) and collect loyalty reward points, without the complexity or price volatility of other similar platforms.

In the FlipNpik ecosystem, the value generated is distributed in an equitable and decentralized manner among all active collaborators : consumers, businesses and ambassadors partners. The primary mission is to contribute to the improvement of the local economy and to promote the circuits of local and responsible consumption.

Cross Hedge is the next generation of fund management. By designing a new intelligent investment system, Cross Hedge allows all cryptocurrency holders to enter into the investment world. Cross Hedge uses Stellar blockchain to democratize the access to asset management empowered by Artificial Intelligence. For more, see video explainer here.

SVPER aims to revolutionize the social networking industry by being an inclusive, economically sustainable, secure and transparent social tool, by incentivizing its users with SVP Tokens and replacing user profiles, pictures and text messages with Instant Video Communication.

1. Google searches for bitcoin have dropped 75 percent since the beginning of 2018. Datatrak Research’s Nicholas Colas links the decline in web searches to the coin’s price rates. In an email to his clients, Colas said bitcoin needs a new narrative in order to reestablish global attention. The number of new cryptocurrency wallets has also decreased.

4. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak hopes bitcoin will emerge as the global currency of the internet. Wozniak’s comments mirror those of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who made a similar statement last month. “I buy into what Jack Dorsey says, not that I necessarily believe it’s going to happen, but because I want it to be that way, that is so pure thinking,” Wozniak said. -FORTUNE

Bitcoin has already “died” 62 times this year, according to stats from 99Bitcoins. –COIN TELEGRAPH
