Contributing to the Arise ICO has never been easier (if you have Bitshares)

Hi All!

As some of you may know, there have been a few posts around these parts about the ongoing Arise Bank ICO. While lurking in their telegram channel, a couple of team members mentioned an alternative way to enter the ICO - via BitShares!

There's a 1:1 Token Swap for Bitshares to ACO (The Arise Bank ERC20 token that will be distributed at the end of the ICO) - currently, if you're purchasing an ACO via the ICO website, you'll pay $1.40USD, while a Bitshares token (at the time of writing) is trading on Binance at 69 cents. This means you can enter the ICO at essentially half price.

Sounds great, doesn't it?

I've got nothing but praise for the Arise Bank team - they've spoken perfectly good English, been responsive to my requests on Twitter, and their customer service has thus far been nothing short of excellent. If you don't believe me, go and join them on Telegram!.

The process is as such, buy your bitshares, and send them to the arisebank-ico account. Include your email address for your ICO account on the Arise website, and the team will take care of the rest! Don't trust me? Ask on their Telegram!

For those of you who don't know much about Arise Bank, I recently commented on a post by @acidyo regarding ICOs to look out for. From the horses mouth:

AriseBank is the first decentralized banking product ever created and features one of the largest cryptocurrency platforms ever built, with services like AriseID, aEx, aiExchanger, aTransfer, AriseCard, aTMs, aPocket, aPay and more. aBank is completely decentralized, which means it's never hosted in our data center and we never touch your money. It's entirely hosted on your desktop and mobile devices.

My favourite part of their methodology and appeal is "Your bank should never know your identity.". The added fact that this is all built ontop of Dan Larimer's powerful Bitshares platform makes it all the more better.

The Crypto landscape is set to change dramatically in the next few years, and Arise Bank looks to be on the forefront of being truly disruptive to the banking industry, being truly decentralised.

Thanks for reading!
