We aim to develop our markets globally including South Asia, North Africa and South America. Providing entrance for their fiat currency and small languages. Therefore, the growing potential of ABIT, objectively speaking, is huge with the solid foundations.

User question: Being a crypto inventor, I have invested in many projects early stage. Some of my investments are performing really good and gave amazing ROI. Tell me some reasons why should I choose AB tokens over others?

When we evaluate the rising potential of a platform coin in a short time, the buy back and destruction amount is very important. ABIT is very confident with our ability regarding this. Because AB is the important link for the entire ABIT ecosystem, and we spare no effort to pursue token deflation. Basically all our 2B activities must rely heavily on AB. For instance:

1st, for our global recruitment of ABIT Super Node, to become a Super Node and enjoy the benefits, each Node will need to lock 1 million AB and selecting a total of 21 Nodes along will hold 20 million.

2nd, the pre-signed 2B customers entered into contracted with us will all use AB to make payments.

3rd, the OTC Cloud will be launched soon. By using this function, any exchange platform can connect to our products (through APP etc.) and embed the payment portal,. Because of our multi-fiat currencies advantage, our OTC Cloud is very popular in the market. All of our OTC cloud users also need to pledge AB.

Apart from these examples, other users may also need to pay AB when they are provided with operation or maintenance services. Therefore, we are connecting the entire business sectors of ABIT with the ecology of deflation of AB. The combination of all these purchasing powers is very powerful. Not only because of the appreciable quantity of merchants that we signed and will sign in the future, but also because, for our market, the current price is relatively cheap. When these two are combined, we are very confident that when we launch our AB, and demand will exceed supply.
