โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ’ธ Amazon Prime's Cost is Peanuts Compared to its Value

By comparing all the sub-products of a Prime membership to similar offerings from competitors, JP found that #Amazon is selling its premium product under value. Whilst music streaming services like #Spotify, #Tidal or #AppleMusic charge their customers around 9.99 dollars per month, Prime Music alone is estimated to be worth some 4.99 dollars per month which would equal half of the price of a Prime membership.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ‘ป Marketers Have Yet to Embrace Snapchat

According to a recent report by the Social Media Examiner, just 8% of marketers used #Snapchat in the first quarter of 2018, which is worlds apart from #Facebookโ€™s 94% adoption rate and far behind the 66% of marketers that are active on #Instagram. Making things worse, 72% of the respondents have no plans of using Snapchat in the next 12 months, indicating that marketers do not consider it relevant enough to give it a try.

NOAH PROJECT: the first crypto city and crypto resort

๐ŸŒ The Noah Project is one-of-a-kind blockchain project aimed at creating the entire ecosystem for crypto enthusiasts, traders and people who wish to catch up the wave of innovative digital technologies and use them in real life.

The Noah ecosystem will comprise of convenient Noah Wallet for storing and transferring various cryptocurrencies, the smooth and easy remittance system, the worldโ€™s first crypto city called Noah City and a luxury Noah Resort, located in the Philippines.

All these projects will be fueled by the native token called Noah Coin (NOAH). It will become the key to borderless facilities of the Noah Project, including the crypto city and the resort.

๐Ÿ’ซ The Noah City will become a real paradise for crypto holders. They will be able to spend cryptocurrency in various shops, hotels, restaurants, getting discounts and special privileges for using NOAH. Of course, anyone will be able to use traditional money like cash or bank cards as well. The Noah City is being built in Horizon Manila, the future largest business district in the Philippines. According to the plans, the City will open the gates by 2020-2022.

๐ŸŽ Besides the Noah City, the team is implementing another project - the Noah Resort. The luxury resort will be located within Dakak Beach Resort in the Philippines, with which the team partners. The Noah Resort is to become a top-travel destination for crypto holders to have a rest from the city vanity. The visitors of Dakak Beach Resort will be able to use their Noah Coins in all the parts of the resort and receive various discounts and gifts.

๐Ÿ™ After successful funding rounds in early 2018, the Noah Project has already begun the development of the Noah City, Noah Resort, its cryptocurrency system for remittances, as well as its own Noah Wallet.

๐Ÿ”‘ Noah Coins are now traded on several cryptocurrency exchanges: HitBTC, Changelly, Livecoin, Mercatox, Yobit and BTC-Alpha.

โ€‹โ€‹๐Ÿ’ก The Offlines!

In a time when your entire life can essentially be lived online, there are increasingly fewer aspects of existence which remain untouched by the #internet. Likewise, the number of people that don't use the internet is also decreasing. As data from the ONS shows, though, there is still a fair share of people in the UK that have never used the internet and these differences vary significantly by country/region. In Northern Ireland, 13 percent have never been online, while in London the share is only 6 percent.
