It’s clearly a better, faster, cheaper solution than banks.
Agree?

In 2012, I learned about the blockchain.
Then in 2014, We helped our friends in China transfer their money withe the blockchain.
And later we transferred money from China to Europe.
That's when I realized the power of crypto.
Despite up and downs, the real difference between today and last year is that most people now believe in the future of cryptos. It's only the beginning.

I read 100 books every year while running a company of 30+ employees.
I combine 3 types of reading:
1. Book -> before bed
2. Kindle -> subway, bus
3. Audiobooks -> walk, go to work
It gives me clarity of mind and puts me ahead of the competition.
Web2:
if a US company wants to transfer 15,000 Singaporean Dollars to a Singaporean company

Invoicing App supports the lowly bank payments as well.
The ethos is simple; we want payers to pay whatever way they want, and issuers to receive whatever currency they want. Even USD & EUR.
We're building towards that goal with baby steps.
The $REQ token is important to us.
- It's good for
@RequestNetwork
awareness
- It's making more people know about the product(s), especially about Request Invoicing App
Therefore the app is getting traction, generating burn and a decrease in supply.
