Leaxcoin: Creating A Real Estate Solution Using Blockchain Technology

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The power of countries depends on the economy, which real estate market is a significant segment of. More than 50% of global finance belongs to it. An impressive share, isn’t it? This market segment is most adapted to reforms and crises.

However, this does not mean that it cannot be slightly improved by innovations, such as the blockchain. The technological upgrade will allow the real estate market, as well as the economy, in particular, to move to a new stage of development.

While the real estate market is “collecting its belongings” and is preparing for a full-fledged move to the blockchain, there could be a Japanese company that has launched the sale of real estate for the cryptocurrency market. Also today, a couple of Bitcoins can already buy you a paradise on an island somewhere in the Caribbean. The world of real estate is gradually becoming digital.

Definitely, the “relocation” of the housing market onto the blockchain will have a positive impact on its development. This promising combo will improve and facilitate the purchase of real estate as follows. It will allow to:

exclude intermediaries who charge a commission in the course of transactions; reduce the time for the preparation of transactions and references; reduce the risk of fraud; simplify the process of checking property before selling: customers can buy property at any time of the day; the opportunity to track the entire history of the transaction.

All this makes the purchase of real estate easier and safer, but not publicly available. The latter and the above mentioned benefits can be offered by Leaxcoin.

The project provides a platform with the solution to all the problems with real estate transactions, either in the purchase, rent, lease, and real estate launch or in the property registry.

It is time to improve the global economy by reinforcing the real estate market with blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Motolite Launches the Res-Q Mobile App and Partnership with Ateneo Volleyball Team

Wazzup Pilipinas!

We have to thank a battery brand for another notable convenience they are providing g to their loyal customers. We definitely need immediate road assistance if we ever got car trouble, and motolite is making it easier by leveling up their free service into an app-based service.

It has also partnered with potential ambassadors of the brand in the presence of a volleyball team from a popular university in the country.

Motolite is the only car battery brand that I trust. It is actually the only brand I know that is familiar and mostly used by my friends and colleagues.

The brand now introduces the first and important RES-Q app in the country - an in-house developed app which motolite users can avail and offers free road assistance for battery checking or replacement needs, and some other car troubles. Their riders are well-trained for months even before the completion of the app and is proud go offer this value-added service as a way if giving back to their loyal customers

The event also announced the commercial partnership with the Ateneo Women's Volleyball Team - the towering ladies that are now seemingly the endorsers of the brand.

Here's a link of one of my video coverages getting to know the Ateneo volleyball team but and the press conference  done during the Res-Q launch. Check out our offivial Facebook page for more videos.

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1897345227047671&id=273998629382347

I'm sure each one of these ladies do have their own social media accounts and families, friends and admirers who follow or engage with them online, aside from their coach, then that would also mean they get to boasts of their Motolite ambassadorship to many other individuals too.

Now the only wish among my list is for the service to become not just within Metro Manila but also for out-of-town as I frequently have more trouble getting assistance when we are in the provinces. My wife's province us in Pangasinan and the around 4 hours drive.
