In this encrypted world, there are a variety of offers that may seem attractive at first glance, but they are "dark" inside. For example, Boost Mobile, an operator, is offering its subscribers a service to pay phone bills through Boostcoins. All you have to do is watch advertisements and play games. After downloading the new BoostOne application, you can play games, watch ads, and interact with them in other ways. Such activities will generate Boostcoins for you. Conversely, cryptocurrencies can be converted into real money.

Well, all of this sounds attractive. But in fact, Boost Mobile doesn't offer anything, but becomes a captive to your phone. The problem is that an Boostcoin is only equal to one cent. Therefore, in order to make some meaningful money, you must spend a lot of time on the application. For example, watching an ad that lasts a few seconds will earn you two Boostcoin. However, you can get a variety of gifts from the Wheel of Destiny's Spin & Win game, ranging from 5 cents to $5 for a single rotation. Although we don't know how many games you can play every day, there are probably not many opportunities.

"this represents an exciting new business model and a stepping stone for the future of wireless consumers," Stephen Stokes, chief executive of Boost Mobile, said in a press release. "most telecoms companies rely on subscription models, but it's time to move beyond the old ones and adopt mature digital models that are popular in other industries."

In the future, users will be able to share Boostcoins with each other. In addition, the company is working on new ways to exchange coins, such as exchanging them for toll-free calls.

The company behind Boostcoins is Dish. We have to say that this is not the first time the company has tried to enter the web 3 field. In early May, Dish launched a 5G network called Project Genesis in Las Vegas. At the same time, the company released a new app that advises users to help the company fine-tune its network. For this, you will receive some rewards. Including NFT.

We also heard that Boost Mobile will launch a new postpaid Boost Infinite wireless plan in a few months' time. The latter will allow users to use cryptocurrency to pay for their new phones. If there is unused data, they can exchange it in digital currency.
