Verge Marketing Update #5
November 8th, 2019
Hello to all our usual readers, and welcome to all the new people that may just be finding us! Due to some real-life scheduling conflicts last month we did not release a marketing update in October; please remember that Verge is run by volunteers. We hope everyone is doing well and gearing up for what we all hope is a smooth Q4 for Verge (plus, crypto in general) and all those fun Holidays that usually accompany the end of the year! Let’s jump right into and recap everything that’s happened in the past two months!
Verge & Manny Pacquiao Foundation
This was undoubtedly our most recent, exciting news! Mark from our Core team made some contacts with the Manny Pacquiao Foundation and discovered they wanted to enable cryptocurrencies to further assist cross border donations. This also helped in reducing their processing fees on many common fiat donation platforms. We quickly got to work and formed a “crypto coalition” of other companies: Blockchain Business Magazine, XcelPay, XcelTrip, Paycent, KuBitX & ChangeAngel. This group of companies, while working for the adoption of cryptocurrencies, have built great relationships with crypto to fiat processors. Read more about this great collaboration via the press release here, and go here to make a donation to the MPF with crypto!
