There are already a great deal of applications in the new world of decentralization. If Steem took the social media route, others, just as passionate about encryption and technology looked towards the chat apps market.
With a strong, tried and tested mechanism for chat provided through Telegram, an app that is both faster, more reliable and a whole lot more secure and private than anything else on the mainstream market (i.e WhatsApp or Viber), a team of young developers set out to take this platform to the next level.
The end result is GetGems. An app that runs on the Telegram network which has a Bitcoin wallet intgrated and pays you daily just for using it, with higher rewards for inviting others or for joining channels that contain advertisments. You see, GetGems is a platform that believes your attention and time is worth something and as a result, advertisers have to pay YOU for showing ads to YOU.
GetGems also allows you to create secret chats that you fully control, giving you the option to delete or auto-destruct a message or an entire chat both from your ddcice but also from the device of the receiver. Secret Chats are encrypted end-to-end.

*I am in no way in contact or associated, nor have I been paid or rewarded in any shape or form to write this. I simpky think GetGems and the decentralization are the way forward and I want to spread it further.
