October is National Cryptocurrency month, which means we’re celebrating all month long!
In the years since 2009, when cryptocurrency emerged into the financial scene, the industry has blossomed to impact almost every aspect of American life. Now, with crypto being so commonplace, almost everyone has reason to recognize the crypto community this month!
As for Apollo, our biggest reason for celebration is the ongoing growth and deepening of relationships we see within our community daily. This project goes far beyond the bounds of just a financial venture, and is being used to impact real people because of its deep purpose.
To be able to improve the careers of the creators we come in contact with has been our goal from the beginning, and the more growth we see the more that goal can be met and expanded upon.
Huge thanks to our ever-evolving community for all that you’ve done in the first few months of this project, and here’s to what is coming next! We’re only just beginning to see what Apollo can truly be!
