$AMPL is not an easy nut to crack.

That’s why I wrote these two guides: Technical Guide to $AMPL for Beginners and Non Technical $AMPL Guide for Beginners. Be sure to check those out if you want to better understand $AMPL.

As for today, I wanna briefly talk about three prominent crypto leaders that get $AMPL.

Brian Armstrong

Brian Armstrong — CEO of Coinbase

This man needs no introduction… but I’ll do it anyway.

He’s the co-founder and CEO of Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in North America and the first to go public.

He’s an OG Bitcoin investor and proponent for revolutionary cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies… probably why he’s an early investor in Ampleforth’s $AMPL.

Brian invested into $AMPL back in 2018 and continues to indirectly support the project to this day. As the CEO of Coinbase, he recently onboarded $FORTH (Ampleforth’s governance token) onto Coinbase and the Coinbase Earn program.

He listed $FORTH just hours after it launched, making it one of the fastest Coinbase listings in history, and put both $AMPL and $FORTH in the spotlight with Coinbase Earn.

Brian clearly gets $AMPL and has the conviction to bet on its future.

Sergey Nazarov

Sergey Nazarov — Founder of Chainlink

$AMPL is supported and deeply understood by none other than the flannel man himself, Sergey Nazarov, the Co-Founder and CEO of Chainlink.

Chainlink serves as the oracle provider in Ampleforth’s Market and Consumer Price Index (CPI) oracles and was integrated with Ampleforth from the get-go.

Therefore, Chainlink and Ampleforth worked closely together in Ampleforth’s early stages, during which time, $AMPL’s founders and Sergey got acquainted.

According to a blog post written by Evan Kuo, co-founder of Ampleforth, Sergey showed particular interest in Ampleforth and immediately understood and believed in the project.

As stated by Kuo:

“Sergey continued to support us, taking time to visit our office and offer advice. Surely he cared about oracles, but he cared even more about what developers would one day do with them. And we had created the world’s first “oraclized money.”

On top of that, Chainlink has over 500+ project integrations and if you go to the Chainlink website, you’ll see $AMPL is high on that list, right next to Google on their homepage:

So, yeah. Sergey gets $AMPL and isn’t afraid to show it.

Aave Team

Leading DeFi lending platform Aave and its team really get $AMPL.

Back in October 2020, Brandon Iles, co-founder of Ampleforth submitted a proposal for borrowing and lending $AMPL on Aave which was met with overwhelming support from the founder of Aave, Stani Kulechove and the team.

Stani urged those who want to see AMPL on Aave to go vote on-chain with their $AAVE:

Moreover, Aave developer, Emilio Frangella recently said he “loves $AMPL” and also clarified to someone a common misconception that $AMPL is in fact, not a stablecoin:

You see, the Aave guys get $AMPL. And once the $AMPL on Aave proposal gets passed, a lot more people will learn to get $AMPL too.

Conclusion

Seeing as all of these guys get $AMPL, it should no longer be a concern if $AMPL is a legit project or not…

I mean, I’ve seen some $AMPL fud in the past with people calling it a “scam” or a “Ponzi scheme”, but I hope all that nonsense can be put to rest now.

After all, these guys are reputable crypto leaders in the space who totally get $AMPL, they’re not supporting some scam.

That said, when will you jump on board and get what $AMPL is all about?

It’s never too late. But it doesn’t hurt to be early.
