Flitpay Is Back With Flitpay Cryptocurrency Exchange

It wasn’t that long ago when cryptocurrency was being portrayed as the best investment method that one can engage in to get better returns. It would be fair enough to say that the Indian market was extremely enthusiastic and open to embracing all the positives that the cryptocurrency had to bring. This was when the Flitpay Bitcoin Wallet was launched. They had a successful run and were amongst the top crypto portals. Sadly, things took a turn when the Supreme Court of India placed a ban on the cryptocurrency exchange.

While Flitpay has always been on the side of cryptocurrency exchange, they still believed that imposing a temporary ban was a good move as there were a lot of questions surrounding cryptocurrency that needed to be answered. The government took its time and lifted that ban! This was a great step as it helps in solidifying the belief that the cryptocurrency market can bring many exciting and rewarding opportunities for all its traders and users.

And if you wish to get your hands on those opportunities then there is no better place for you to begin than Flitpay. Flitpay has launched its cryptocurrency exchange with phase-I on April 23, 2020, and has come up with the distribution of FLT Tokens as their launching offer.

In a talk with founders Mr. Akash Bansal and Mr. Ashish Sangai, we got to know that this time they have launched Flitpay with the motive of making India crypto-friendly. Flitpay Crypto Exchange will allow you to trade in popular digital assets like Bitcoin BTC, Ripple XRP, Ethereum ETH, USDT, INR, Bitcoin Cash BCH, to name a few.

Flitpay is aimed to provide all of its users with a fast and friendly interface, a negligible trading fee, and the best part of all, Flitpay’s entire working philosophy revolves around putting their customers first. So, you can rest assured that the Flitpay team will always be dedicated to you and solve any potential query that you might have round the clock.

According to the CEO of Flitpay, Akash Bansal, their new version of the cryptocurrency trading platform is better, smoother, and smarter than ever. Further, Flitpay has started its operations in Phase-I where they are rewarding with FLT Tokens for KYC approved Signups and referral program. These FLT tokens are their own exchange tokens which will definitely hold a handsome value in the future. The offer is for a limited period and if you act quickly and sign up now then, you can also expect a number of other benefits to come your way during the second phase.

While we don’t have a lot of information regarding what benefits one can expect in the second phase from Flitpay – to build the excitement apparently - we do know the details of the referral and sign up program.

Here’s what you get during Phase - I, you will get a scratch card that can get you anything from 500 to 1000 FLT upon Signup with KYC. You will also have a unique referral link that you can share with your friends and family members to further earn FLT scratch cards between the values of 100 FLT – 300 FLT. The more you share your referral link on various social media platforms, the higher your chances of earning more FLT tokens.

If you think that this is where the referral program ends then you are wrong. Because apart from all this, you also get a trading commission every single time your friends or family members make a trade. 50% of their total trading fees directly go to you! This gives you the chance to earn more rewards even while you are sleeping! Earning cannot be easier than this.
If you are as excited as us about these offers then hurry up and sign up since these are limited offers! Set up your Flitpay account and refer to earn rewards in the easier way possible.

TRA’s Covid Mental Wellbeing Index shows Mumbai at lowest

Delhi citizens cope second best with current crisis

Mumbai. 29th April, 2020: TRA Research, a consumer insights and brand analytics company, today released a new finding from its recent white-paper, a research survey conducted across 16 cities with 902 urban citizens to delve deeper into the Mental Wellbeing of citizens across urban India.  Guwahati citizens showed the highest mental Wellbeing (84%) in their ability to cope with their current worries of family health and work stability as well as their fears on the country’s health and economic impact. This was followed by Delhi-NCR (78%) which had the second best Mental Wellbeing score. Other cities which displayed a ‘Good’ ability Mental Wellbeing of their citizens include Indore (75%), Coimbatore (73%) and Pune (72%). Mumbai showed the lowest Mental Wellbeing Index at just 28%, showing severe stresses and anxieties among the citizenry, followed by Lucknow at 36%.






















N. Chandramouli, CEO, TRA Research, explained the concept of Mental Wellbeing and said, “The Mental Wellbeing of citizens in the context of this research is seen as their ability to cope with current worries regarding the pandemic. The ability to cope with worries depends on the individual’s mind-set of course, but also depends on the city’s general acceleration rate in patients, as also the a city’s complex demographics that may impede coping with the pandemic. The rapid spread in Mumbai with the highest number of Covid-19 patients is also reflected in the low Mental Wellbeing of its citizens with regard to coping with the disease.” The Mental Wellbeing Index has been calculated with Coping Index as the numerator and the Worry Index as the denominator, measured as a percentage and the Coping Index was measured on four parameters and the Worry Index on six.

Dr. Jalpa Butta, MD, Consultant Psychiatrist, practicing at Global Hospital and Hinduja Khar, said, “Coping skills are determined by one’s resilience, attitude, belief system and support system. It is reassuring that most of the people in smaller cities are coping better with good Mental Wellbeing. In the larger cities there could be many factors responsible like worry on account of stability of work. When our identity is determined by our career and earning capacities, people can feel at a total loss when that may get impacted. Relationships are also getting fragile in bigger cities, giving poor interpersonal support, which is much needed for a sense of mental wellbeing.”

Chandramouli elaborated further on the difference in cities, “The smaller cities have a relatively higher Mental Wellbeing Index as compared to the larger cities and Guwahati, Jaipur, Indore, Pune, Coimbatore are coping better with the situation, than their counterparts in cities like Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.”
Dr. Bhuta suggested attitudinal alterations to cope. She said, “It is important for all of us to find peace within ourselves, develop a more spiritual and accepting attitude, learn to deal with change and embrace the higher power during difficult times.”
