consumers at a disadvantage”

payment services.”

“There are only a handful of companies that provide [blockchain] services. BlockCypher is excellent. Their product is simpler to implement and works better than other services. We also think highly of the team.
We will continue to need more services to interact with the Blockchain, and we’d much rather use BlockCypher’s services than build our own.“ - Wences Casares
