APMA to Issue New Cryptocurrency and NFT Collection

 

Cryptocurrencies are becoming accepted worldwide. Bitcoin is now legal tender in El Salvador; Ecuador rolled out its own digital cash; and even Mayor Eric Adams of New York City is accepting paychecks in Bitcoin. Now, James Christina, DPM, Executive Director of the APMA, has announced that the APMA will be issuing its own cryptocurrency called Podicoin. The APMA will be encouraging insurance companies to reimburse podiatrists with this new digital currency. Podicoin can also be used to pay dues to the APMA and its component organizations.

Podicoin unlike The U.S. Dollar has a fixed supply that is resistant to inflation. In addition to Podicoin, the APMA will also be launching its own NFT project. This exclusive collection of 10,000 “non-fungus tokens” (NFTs) will be generated from various traits of feet. They will be ranked in order of rarity with the rarest NFTs having clear nails and normal arches. The lowest ranked NFTs will have traits such as onychomycosis, verruca, and hallux valgus. The pre-sale will be open to all APMA members before the collection becomes available to the general public.
