My Experience with XcelPay

“I cannot begin to tell you how thankful I am to the creators of this app. Here is the story of how XcelPay saved me from embarrassment in another country.


Ever since the birth of cryptocurrencies, I had been extremely interested in them and when the opportunity arose, I put my money into it and left it to “breed”. After that I went on with my life and lost interest in bitcoins and eventually forgot about the investment that I had made (I know this sounds crazy, but life sometimes gets in the way of everything and you tend to lose track of all that once interested you).
Bitcoins have drastically impacted the economic world since and multiple other cryptocurrencies have dominated the market. Unknowing of all this I went on with my day to day activities.
Soon I planned a trip to South Korea, my dream trip. I had for years watched K-dramas and got into the K-Pop scene very early (I must tell you 2ne1 is my guilty pleasure). As soon as I landed in Seoul, I immediately went to a café at SM Entertainments to munch on some delicious snacks and sip out of cups with K-pop stars on them.
Within a few days I had run out of physical currency and I had a heap of credit card fees accumulating. After a drunk night, I went to a café to bring down my drunkenness. With credit cards maxed out and cashless, I ordered a Cold Brew. As I proceded to pay, I realised that I had screwed up. I didn’t know what to do and the language barrier kicked me off my feet.
The nice barista, however, suggested that I could pay with cryptocurrency, and that’s when I realised that I had a large sum of bitcoins that I could use. I immediately found out my public and private keys and started looking for an app that would allow me to transact quickly and one that could be trusted. This is when I stumbled upon XcelPay, I quickly downloaded the app on my Samsung phone and payed the barista. Ever since that day I have been using the app to make simple transactions to merchants and It came in very handy on my trip to Korea.
I am so thankful to the XcelPay app and the wonderful barista who reminded me of cryptos, I am now investing a lot in utility tokens and using them wherever I can.”
