What has Spice money been working on?

Spice money has been working to improve its user base by adding more money institutions. In the last few months, the Company has entered into a planned union with companies. Companies such as Microsoft where it is one of 100 blockchain-based startups. They were selected to take part in Microsoft’s Accelerator program. This provides resources and services to startups throughout their growth cycle. It will be interesting to see how the Company continues to plan according to its roadmap. That too after achieving its milestones user acquisition and volume processing.

While some may argue that nothing has changed since June when a similar report appeared on Btcmanager.com. It is worth noting that the Company has signed an MOU with the Malaysian government. And also, we are yet to see the impact of that partnership. Besides, other similar payments companies like Ripple have been able to scale up their business over the last few years. The executive team and advisory board at SPICE look quite promising and are capable of pulling off a similar feat.

The main reasons for investing in SPICE MONEY are its growing list of financial institutions on board. And its unique blockchain-based payments platform that makes use of decree currency instead of tokens. But, investors should note that the Company is currently operating in a niche market and not in its final stage of growth. It has a long way to go before it can take on competition from other global players like PayPal and Visa.
