ADA Finance Wins “Best DeFi Project of the Year” at AIBC Summit, Roger Ver Joins as Investor

Press Release: ADA Finance has become the first-ever Cardano-based project to win the “Best Defi project of the year”, at AIBC Summit 2021, as investor Roger Ver joins a growing list of big-name influencers. 

 

17th November 2021, Mahe, Victoria, Seychelles — Cardano, and Avalanche-powered DeFi ecosystem ADA Finance has been announced as the winner of the highly anticipated “Best DeFi project of the Year” award at the 2021 AIBC Summit in Malta. 

 

The win took place on November 16th, in unison with the addition of early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver, who has joined the project as an investor. These big announcements have synchronized perfectly for ADA Finance, with the project’s IDO just one month away in mid-December, 2021.

 

Best DeFi Project of the Year

Cross-Dual-Chain DeFi ecosystem ADA Finance has beaten some serious industry contenders to take the highly coveted prize of the “Best DeFi Project of The Year” award at Europe’s premier event for blockchain, AI, and emerging tech, AIBC Summit, Malta.

 

ADA Finance is the first Cardano-based project to win the award, beating other highly revered projects, including community-focused DeFi token Safemoon, and PoW/DPoS hybrid consensus ABEYFoundation. 

 

These recent achievements have put the spotlight on ADA Finance, with the project now joining the ranks of the awards previous winners, MakerDAO, and AI-powered DeFi portfolio project SingularityDAO. 

 

Roger Ver & Other Big Names Join the Party

The success of ADA Finance has caught the attention of Bitcoin investor and blockchain advocate Roger Ver. Known widely as “Crypto Jesus”, Ver was an early investor in Bitcoin back in 2011, and the previous CEO of Bitcoin.com.

 

Known for his past involvement in successful blockchain projects, Ver has invested in Ripple,  (XRP) Kraken, Shapeshift, and Bitpay. More recently Ver has shifted his focus to the DeFi market with a sizable investment in decentralized oracle service provider XFai. 

 

The project has also landed an A-list Influencer line-up alongside Ver, including YouTube sensation Carl “The Moon” and other notable names Crypto Banter, and MMCrypto. With a star-studded line-up bullish on the already successful project, all focus is now on the platform’s ADAFI token IDO in mid-December. 

 

First Publicly Released Code on Cardano

ADA Finance has chosen to take the innovative route of releasing its code on a public repository, becoming the first-ever project built on Cardano to do so. The code is released under the GNU General Public License. This means that anyone can fork the code, as long as they also make their own staking code public. 

 

ADA Finance is initiating this movement for the entire Cardano ecosystem, hoping that more projects will follow. This pioneering move speaks to the heart of the Cardano philosophy, and promotes openness and trust across both Cardano and the greater blockchain industry, with trust, fairness, and potential for massive growth just some of the resulting benefits. 

 

In addition, ADA Finance has recently announced an Academy Program with Bitdegree to help create awareness for Cardano blockchain development, and help to foster further involvement from the wider coding community. The program will also help to build a strong, sustainable ecosystem and grow talented, fully certified smart contract developers as Cardano grows as a layer one project. 

 

With the “Best DeFi Project of the year” award as a springboard, a highly innovative blockchain, Academy Program, industry support, pioneering Cardano philosophy, and upcoming IDO, ADA Finance looks to be a contender for the hottest DeFi project going into 2022, and beyond.

Bitcoin.com Founder Roger Ver Donates 1000 Laptops, Copies of Economics in One Lesson, to Students in Antigua

28th July 2021, St Kitts & Nevis – Bitcoin.com Founder Roger Ver announced today he has made a donation of 1,000 ASUS laptops and 1,000 copies of Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson to support the education of students in Antigua.

 

The computers were purchased with Bitcoin Cash through BitoPro, Taiwan’s largest cryptocurrency service provider, and each student who reads the Foundation for Economic Education’s copy of Economics in One Lesson (paid for in Bitcoin Cash) will earn $100 USD in Bitcoin Cash that they can hold as an investment, put towards future educational opportunities, or spend at vendors all across Antigua.

 

“Bitcoin Cash adoption is growing faster in Antigua than maybe anywhere else in the world right now.” said Roger Ver. He continued: 

 

“And the students who read the book and earn their Bitcoin Cash will be able to go anywhere in the country and find a place to use it. They won’t need to go through the difficult process of setting up a bank account or getting a debit card, they can just download the Bitcoin.com wallet for free and start using their BCH.”

 

Commenting on the donation, Foundation for Economic Education Executive Vice President Richard Lorenc said:

 

“Economics in One Lesson is the best introduction to economic thinking a student can read” and that “FEE is excited to work with Roger Ver again to help bring free-market thought to students around the world.”

 

The donation will be completed by the end of March when students will begin receiving their laptops and books from the Ministry of Education of Central and South America.

 

“Paying by cryptocurrency has become a reality.” said Titan, the founder of BitoPro. He continued:

 

“For instance, Visa allows payment settlements using cryptocurrency, and PayPal also allows customers to pay with cryptocurrency. As the leading crypto exchange in Taiwan, BitoPro will keep working on how to integrate the payment of cryptocurrency.”

 

FEE & Bitcoin.com – Expanding Learning Through Crypto

The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) recently announced two gifts totalling $2,000,000 from Bitcoin.com Founder Roger Ver, following a previous donation of $1,000,000 in 2013. The recent gift supported FEE’s 75th anniversary celebrations. Founded in 1946, FEE is the oldest libertarian think tank in the U.S and reaches an audience of hundreds of millions online and nearly 20,000 students through classroom programs in colleges and high schools in both the United States and Latin America.

The Foundation for Economic Education Announces Two Major Gifts from Bitcoin.com Founder Roger Ver

19th January 2020, St Kitts & Nevis & Atlanta – The Foundation for Economic Education (FEE.org) announced today that Bitcoin.com founder and early cryptocurrency investor Roger Ver has made two gifts totaling $2,000,000 in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to support FEE’s work in advancing individual liberty and educating students around the world on the moral and economic foundations of a free society. 

 

The first $1 million gift supports FEE’s marquee events in 2021–FEE’s 75th anniversary year–as well as additional student programs, including online educational content and books. The second $1M gift takes the form of an endowment, which will be a perpetual source of support for FEE’s educational activities. 

 

Ver, who previously donated $1,000,000 in Bitcoin to FEE in 2013, said he owes an intellectual debt to FEE and is making this new donation at a time during which he believes FEE’s work is needed more than ever.

 

“I was a subscriber to FEE’s long-running magazine “The Freeman” when I was in high school and I owe a lot of my success in Bitcoin to what I learned reading about the moral urgency of having a monetary system that exists separate from state force,” 

 

said Roger Ver. He continued: 

 

“I was looking around the world today and I saw global lockdowns, inflation, attacks on individual liberty, and I thought: ‘Who are the most important voices of freedom today?’ FEE is at the top of my list. I want to help FEE have the same impact on the lives of millions of young people that they did on mine.”

 

FEE – Anything Peaceful

Founded in 1946, FEE is the oldest libertarian think tank in the U.S. FEE is celebrating its milestone 75th anniversary with events throughout 2021, including FEEcon (in Atlanta from June 17-19) and the FEE 75th Anniversary Gala on June 19th. Each year, FEE reaches an audience of hundreds of millions online and nearly 20,000 students through classroom programs in colleges and high schools in both the United States and Latin America.

 

“Roger supercharged our online growth in 2013 when he gave an unprecedented $1M in Bitcoin to FEE,” 

 

said FEE’s Executive Vice President Richard N. Lorenc, who went on to say:

 

“At the time, this was the largest-ever donation of cryptocurrency and helped us significantly along a path of growing educational impact ever since. With these new major gifts of Bitcoin Cash, Roger continues his transformational giving just as we begin to celebrate FEE’s 75th year and unveil our campaign to expose ever greater numbers of students to the ideas of liberty, both in their classrooms and online.”

 

Asked why he chose to make his gift in Bitcoin Cash, Ver remarked: 

 

“Bitcoin Cash of all cryptocurrencies has the best chance at creating more economic freedom around the world. Unlike the legacy Bitcoin chain, Bitcoin Cash can be sent instantly around the world to anyone for a fraction of a penny without arbitrary government limitations. It has the kind of potential that got me so excited about first investing in Bitcoin and Bitcoin companies back in 2011, and that potential lines up perfectly with the work FEE is doing to realize a freer, more peaceful world.”

 

With the new gifts from Ver, FEE plans to quickly grow their capacity to continue producing powerful videos, writing compelling articles, and developing classroom materials all focused on advancing individual liberty, free enterprise, and limited government in the realms of economics, art, careers, culture, and more. 

 

“Roger’s pioneering work in the cryptocurrency space shows how ideas can and do change the world,” 

 

said FEE’s President Zilvinas Silenas. 

 

“Likewise, Roger’s continued investment in FEE emphasizes FEE’s vital role in the field of economic education. FEE is the premier player in introducing the ideas of liberty and individual empowerment to young audiences, and we are honored that Roger recognizes our groundbreaking work online and in the classrooms. With the support of farsighted philanthropists such as Roger Ver, FEE will succeed in making human liberty the most credible economic and political philosophy among the rising generation.”
