3) About a Controversial Universal Gifting Demo Video on YouTube

There have been rumors that GIFTO has been working with a particular Korean crypto exchange, Bithumb, due to a demo video posted by the GIFTO Team on its official YouTube channel.

This video (GIFTO : Universal Gifting Demo) was recorded and published to GIFTO’s official YouTube channel and the GIFTO website on November 23rd, 2017 to demonstrate how GIFTO’s Universal Gifting Protocol works on the Facebook platform. Bithumb’s logo was included in the video as an example of the types of gifts and partnerships that could be created on the Universal Gifting platform. .

We would like to reassure you that neither GIFTO’s universal gifting protocol nor GIFTO team’s business has any official association with Bithumb. We truly apologize to our GIFTO fans,fellow crypto community, and especially to Bithumb, for the confusion.

The video will be deleted and replaced with a newly updated GIFTO Universal Gifting Protocol demo. We would like to encourage all of our fans and the larger crypto and creative communities to continue to explore all the real life applications and possibilities for our Universal Gifting Platform.
