So many crypto hobbyists, projects, and companies out there. Up until recently (recently being 2018 or 2019), Coinbase was my "go to" place to stash crypto I got from exchanges and faucets. The pain point with Coinbase was, and still is, the insane fees.
Then Robinhood showed up and offered commission-free trading. It almost seemed too good to be true. Yeah. It was too good to be true. Sure, there are no commissions, but there is also no way to transfer. No transferring crypto in or out. You can buy crypto and liquidate, but that's it. The crypto isn't yours and you can never move it to a wallet. Their reasoning is because of all the "nefarious" things that can be done with crypto. Right.... like the dollar has never been used for crime.
Enter Voyager. Run by Stephen Ehrlich (ex-CEO of E*Trade), Oscar Salazar (ex-CTO of Uber), and others (https://www.investvoyager.com/about), these guys came out swinging. No trading fees. Limit trades. Transfer in and out options (for many, but not all coins yet). They didn't stop there. They've been growing their business. Making smart acquisitions. But here's what really separates Voyager from the other players. Ready?
Adhering to U.S. crypto regulations
USD is FDIC-insured
Publicly traded company (VYGVF is the U.S. symbol; VYGR is the Canadian symbol)
Insanely good interest (up to 9.5% APR on USDC and 6.5% on BTC, and interest on so many others)
VGX, their utility token, not only makes 3% APR, but hold enough of it and it provides additional interest to make up the "insanely good" interest rates mentioned above
Voyager Loyalty Program (VLP) coming soon. Imagine all kinds of benefits, reduced fees, debit cards, and more all based on how much VGX you hold. Oh, and imagine the demand that will exist for VGX
Entering Canada soon – expansion into new territory
Bought LGO in Europe and merging the LGO token and VGX token into a new VGX token, which will have a 7% APR instead of 3% – even more expansion and growth
Oh yeah, within the last few weeks alone, I've watched VGX go from a 15¢ token to over a dollar
CEO is very approachable on Twitter and answers people a lot
Honestly, I've been in crypto since 2013 and this is the most promising thing I've seen to date. Here's a company doing EVERYTHING right. VGX hovers at 95¢ right now as I write this. It's still a ground floor price, and I can see thing easily hitting $5-$10 this year alone. Maybe more. I'm being conservative. Point is, here is your next rocket. This isn't exaggeration. This also IS NOT financial advice. I fully recommend you DYOR – do your own research and see if what I'm claiming matches what they're doing and what's coming.
Lastly, if you'd like to partake in some of this, but don't live in the U.S., you can still load up on VGX by using Binance. In Binance, the symbol is BQX. I confess, I don't understand why the symbol is different but, when the VGX/LGO merge happens, I do believe that Binance will get the new symbol (which also happens to be VGX, if I'm understanding correctly).
Don't miss out. It's very rare that I promote the heck out of something, but Voyager strikes me as a one-of-a-lifetime opportunities and I am personally all in. See you guys on the moon or, as RetroLenny on Twitter likes to say, on Andromeda.
