2019 Retrospective for Rapids (RPD) & Rapids Network Hello everyone! Only a few months after the birth of ***Rapids Network***, founded by **Corey Strong**, the year **2019** started, and it was rich in **new features**, **meetings**, **partnerships**, **sponsoring**, etc ... Rapids is today: https://rapidsnetwork.io/ over **7 500 members** on the official **Telegram Channel** https://t.me/RapidsOfficial More than **10k Followers on Twitter** https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/ **10 languages across the world are represented**, both on Telegram and on social networks. A solid **team of passionate and fascinating people**, who are constantly planning events, games, contests ... **Let me give you a little recap of the highlights of Rapids in 2019.** Let's start with the beginning, as soon as ***January***, just after Christmas (2018) and New Year, all Rapids teams got back to work, to bring something new to Rapids again and again! **Here is a small, non-exhaustive list** of their work during the first month of the year: ***ZCore*** *: You can host your Rapids Masternode* https://central.zcore.cash/masternodes/RPD *RPD (Rapids) is listed on* ***P2PB2B****, under* ***RPD-BTC****/****ETH****/****USD*** *pairs.* https://p2pb2b.io/ https://p2pb2b.io/trade/RPD_BTC https://p2pb2b.io/trade/RPD_ETH https://p2pb2b.io/trade/RPD_USD *Rapids is available on the* ***Coin Market Apps****, news, charts, reviews, information ...* http://www.coinmarketapps.com/ *It is now possible to* ***exchange $RPDs between friends, family, colleagues ... on PlayStation*** *(requires Swft.pro.app)* https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1082356548083564547?s=19 *The* ***TipBot is available on Discord*** *(allowing rains and tips between users).* https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1083011014638166016?s=19 *Rapids presents its* ***E-Sports Team*** *(Twitch, PS4, XBOX ONE)* https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1083445347500937216?s=19   Rapids Network is officially **registered in the European Union, in Estonia** https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1090292484150837248?s=19 The month of January also saw the arrival of 2 new members in their teams: **Wendy O**: Advisor https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1083801811381899266?s=19 **Blake E. Rizzo**: Attorney & Charity Advisor https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1089707172622151680?s=19 And the little extra, I think it's really nice, a **member of Rapids has created a superb artwork** in the colours of the crpyo https://twitter.com/RapidsRPD/status/1088575782505644032?s=19

In my humble opinion, ***the most important event of this month of March but especially of this year 2019***, is that **Rapids has become an integrant part of the BOA program of companies** (as well as Puma and HolidayInn) of the ***English Premier League team BURNLEY*** ! Rapids Logo is present on the players' pictures, on their **60 m advertising screen** ! With their **21,400 seat Turf Moor Stadium**, is over **1 Billion viewers following the UK Premier League championship**, it's an exceptional thing Rapids has **achieved** ! https://twitter.com/rapidsrpd/status/1108835075490238471?s=21 https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/ https://twitter.com/rapidsrpd/status/1112026674470756352?s=21 https://twitter.com/johndecafee/status/1175912657376960512?s=19

That's the end of the first quarter of 2019, and as you've seen, it was a relatively busy quarter, **Corey Strong** and all Rapids Network teams did a huge amount of work. Now let's get on with ***April***: ***Rapids Network Facebook*** *page opens* https://www.facebook.com/RapidsNetwork/ *The* ***Ambassador Program*** *has been activated, and allows Rapids to designate members who will be Rapids ambassadors to users of various languages around the world, and to work with Rapids to continue the development of the community, but also to work on new projects, partnerships, events (around the world).* https://twitter.com/rapidsrpd/status/1113078056963465216?s=21 *Rapids (RPD) is available on* ***MyCointainer****, Staking service and Masternodes.* https://www.mycointainer.com/assets/rapids/ *Rapids is partner with* ***Mazer Gaming****, one of the largest e-Sport Gaming team in the world.* https://mazer.gg/ ***Rapids (RPD)*** *is integrated and listed in* ***Coinomi Wallet*** https://twitter.com/coinomiwallet/status/1118947720595673089?s=21 https://www.coinomi.com/en/asset/rapids/ *Partnership with* ***Advanced.gg****, and* ***FOCUS Products*** https://advanced.gg/ https://advanced.gg/product-category/supplements/ *But also on* ***CoinStats Wallet*** https://coinstats.app/coins/rapids **Rapids** was present on the "**Bitcoin Ben's World Largest Crypto Meet up**", for the first time a **big part of Rapids teams** were able to present to the public "***what is Rapids (RPD) and*** ***Rapids Network***" this event took place on **April 6th 2019** in Blanco, Texas (USA). The coolest thing this April, less than a year after the creation of **Rapids Network** and the **Channel Telegram of Rapids**, **"Rapids ($RPD) Tipbot" is first in the ranking of the most active Channel Telegram around the world** (ahead of TronWallet and Dogecoin TipBot), it shows us how involved and active the community is, since the beginning of this crypto.
