The future of payments can be found in cryptocurrency. At the moment, 6% of all businesses accept it as a form of payment, including Whole Foods, Facebook, Nordstrom, AT&T, and Virgin, says NetCents Technology. More than 40% of consumers want to make purchases using cryptocurrency. Better, PayPal just confirmed its working to bring cryptocurrency capabilities to its platform, which lead to greater adoption. After all, “if a financial service with 325 million active users starts listing digital assets, it is likely to make crypto more viable in the eyes of the financial mainstream,” says Coin Telegraph. With greater adoption likely, some of the top companies to watch include NetCents Technology Inc. (CSE: NC)(OTCQB: NTTCF), Square Inc. (NYSE:SQ), Paypal Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:PYPL), HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (OTC:HVBTF)(TSXV:HIVE), and Visa Inc. (NYSE:V).
NetCents Technology Inc. (CSE: NC)(OTCQB: NTTCF) BREAKING NEWS: NetCents Technology Inc., a cryptocurrency payments technologies company announced the addition of Jannis Flachsmann to the Advisory Board.

Zug is a highly respected hub for legal and technology matters relating to the growing cryptocurrency industry. Mr. Flachsmann obtained his Masters of Law (LL.M.) degree from Fordham University.
"I have been watching the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry mature for the last few years, but I think that 90% of the growth is still to come," stated Mr. Flachsmann. “I am very excited to bring my unique experience, legal skillset, and connections to NetCents.”
“Mr. Flachsmann will bring a unique dimension to our advisory board and add immensely to our capabilities to react to a very dynamic landscape,” stated Clayton Moore, Founder and CEO of NetCents Technology. “The taxation considerations of cryptocurrency are extremely complicated. Having someone as well versed as Mr. Flachsmann will give us a strategic edge in winning the large international corporate customers we are now soliciting.”
NetCents continues the buildout of its European presence, including specific resources dedicated to servicing European customers from an operational, banking, and sales perspective. "Europeans are more focused on having financial capabilities that aren't tied directly to government agencies. They are more open to the cryptocurrency products we are building, so we are going to capitalize on that momentum,” added Mr. Moore. The Company is looking forward to sharing developments with investors regarding its European efforts.

However, with 39% of credit card rewards holders unaware of their rewards balances, there's an opportunity for more people to uncover funds which could extend their budgets and help them buy the things they need most. "More and more people across the country are turning to their credit card rewards as a helpful and easy way to make their dollars go further, and in the current environment, two thirds of Americans (66%) now view these rewards balances as a way to buy the things they need such as groceries and other essentials," said Jill Cress, vice president of consumer marketing at PayPal. "With travel and luxury items still less of a priority for many right now, our research shows that people are instead tapping into their rewards balances to support small businesses in their community and to give back to causes."
