APMA to Introduce New Crypto Currency

 

Following the meteoric rise in the popularity and value of such crypto currencies as Bitcoin and Ethereum, the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) has announced plans to introduce its own crypto currency to be called Podicoin. According to James Christina, DPM, APMA’s CEO and Executive Director, the coin is to be modelled after Dentacoin, which is already being used in dentistry.

Podicoin, based on blockchain technology will allow podiatric patients to pay for services with a click of their smartphones. “APMA members will also be able to pay their dues using Podicoin,” says Christina, “so the anticipated rise in the value of Podicoin will benefit both APMA and its members.”  Podicoin’s value will be based on the RVU of CPT Code 11721 (Mycotic Nail Debridement) and will trade on the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE), commonly known as “Footsie.”
