APX is now a Steem Engine token, as Steemit has not been able to deliver on their promise yet, even though SMTs were announced shortly BEFORE Appics.

There is not a single project in the world that I trust more than this one, since I have met the team in person. These young people are ready to change the world. And I am ready to follow them all the way. Are you?
