The Rise of BBECN
This week, MintCombine decided that having a huddle around the Bitcoin campfire wasn’t enough; they’ve launched the Beyond Bitcoin Expert Calling Network (BBECN), allowing regular folks to gab with top-tier experts in the crypto world. Think of it as a hotline for your cryptocurrency questions – just dial in, and you might be chatting with Ethereum COO Joseph Lubin or the founder of Let’s Talk Bitcoin, Adam Levine. No, not that Adam Levine – the one who talks about digital currencies!
Why BBECN is a Game-Changer
Access to knowledge in the crypto realm can often feel like trying to crack a safe with a feather. With BBECN, MintCombine aims to democratize the process. According to CEO Rik Willard, this initiative seeks to make top-notch digital currency insights available to anyone, especially small to medium-sized businesses that can’t afford the steep consultation fees. It’s like having a pocket-sized consultant ready to help you tackle your Bitcoin conundrums at a fraction of the usual cost.
A Peek Behind the Curtain
The BBECN is not only star-studded but also structured in a way that’s hyper-accessible. Imagine walking into a farmers’ market filled with experts instead of produce – you just pick who you want to chat with. Users simply sign up, create a profile with payment information, and then select an expert based on their unique queries. So whether you’ve got money-making questions or compliance concerns, help is just a phone call away.
Why Experts Want In
It’s not just about users getting insights; this endeavor also rewards experts. Willard mentions three major reasons why the crème de la crème of the crypto world are jumping on board:
- Help enlighten the masses about digital currencies.
- Boost personal and brand visibility in a space where they’re household names but might not be recognized at your local coffee shop.
- Flexibility in pricing – experts can charge what they deem fit while still keeping it accessible for everyone.
The Payment Plan
Right now, it seems users need a credit or debit card to join in on the fun, as Bitcoin payments are not yet supported. But fear not, Willard hints that accepting cryptocurrency might be just around the corner, especially once PayPal jumps on the BTC bandwagon. So, while you’re waiting to pay in Bitcoin, the pressing problem remains: how many questions can you ask in a single session?
Looking Ahead
The BBECN seems poised to widen its coverage dramatically, aiming to touch on various niches in the cryptocurrency industry. From music and mining to altcoins, the network intends to create an inclusive environment for knowledge sharing. With other initiatives like Coin Brainery gaining traction, it’s clear that the appetite for expert insights is growing, and BBECN is looking to feast.
