Crypto city: how a futuristic concept can become a reality?
The number of active users of crypto wallets is evaluated to be between 2.9 and 5.8 million according to the Cambridge University report. It’s important to note that this survey focuses on active users in contrast to bitcoin holders. This allows us to understand how many people are actual users as opposed to only buy-and-hold contributors.
These figures show that crypto owners are solicitous to utilize their digital funds rather than just to hold them. Cryptocurrencies offer people an easier, faster, cheaper, and safer way to manage their funds as compared to fiat. That’s why they quickly gained popularity among traders, contributors, and consumers.
Seeing that the number of crypto holders steadily grew along with their wish to use their coins, merchants couldn’t stay aloof and included tokens in the payment options. They quickly came to the front.
Just imagine, when the Helsinki-based music shop Äxän started to accept cryptocurrencies in 2013, its sales jumped by 40%!
This example inspired many other businesses, so the number of stores and cafes accepting virtual coins sprouted like mushrooms after the summer rains all over the world. Large companies followed the small undertakers. Such business giants as eBay, Dell, Microsoft, Expedia, Greenpeace, Wikipedia, and Virgin Galactic have already received digital money for several years!
Today, there are over 14,000 crypto-friendly venues worldwide according to Coinmap. Who’d have thought several years ago that it’d be possible to order a pizza or book accommodation or flight ticket with cryptocurrency? Dreams come true. Nevertheless, the more you have, the more you want, and today the crypto community dreams of all-around tokenization. How cool would it be to live in a place ruled by cryptocurrencies, decentralization, and innovative technologies!
By the way, such places where crypto evangelists can feel at home already exist. Amsterdam, Melbourne, San Francisco, London, Buenos Aires, and other famous locations were included in the CCN’s list of top-10 cryptocurrency-friendly cities. Also, one shouldn’t forget about such fintech hubs as Zug, Seoul, Tokyo, and Singapore. However, these are existing cities that successfully incorporate emerging technologies into the operating systems. And what if the crypto community gets a crypto city built from scratch?
It’s not a new idea. For example, famous rapper Akon plans to build a cryptocurrency-based city in his native country Senegal. The musician believes that digital assets will “allow people to utilize them in ways where they can advance themselves and not allow government to do those things that are keeping them down.”
The Asian Noah Project is guided by the same concept. It invites users to join the crypto ecosystem where they will be able to enjoy remittance, contributing, exchanging, trading, and other services as well as expand their experience in dealing with virtual funds. Creating a futuristic city based on blockchain and powered by cryptocurrencies is one of the directions of this promising project.
To put this idea into practice, the Noah Project is collaborating with the construction company developing Horizon Manila, the future largest Central Business District in the Philippines. Noah City is expected to become a part of this district and open its doors by 2023. The project team has developed Noah Coin, a token that will be used inside the Noah ecosystem. Employing Noah Coin, visitors will get an exclusive access to various discounts, cashbacks, and loyalty programs.
Noah Coin is now available on six cryptocurrency exchanges. There are such well-known ones as HitBTC, Changelly, BTC-Alpha, Mercatox, LiveCoin, and YoBit. To provide users with a secure and convenient way to manage and store their Noah Coins, the project team has introduced the Noah Wallet, which can be freely downloaded from App Store and Google Store.
The Noah Project founders are confident that Noah City will become a number one center for everyone who want to interact in the cryptocurrency-friendly ecosystem. Don’t stand aside and join the digital world right now! Open yourself to new infinite opportunities and experience provided by advanced technologies.
