Why I'm Long & Bullish on BitBay

I've been in the BitBay slack (link: http://bitbay.market/wp-login.php?action=slack-invitation) for quite some time. Throughout my time chatting with the developers and core group of investors, I never got the impression that anyone was out for a quick buck or run their mouth off about vaporware that may never see the light of day. In addition, David Zimbeck has released his updates in a timely and seems to show a grand enthusiasm for making the best possible market client he can.

Unlike other cryptocurrency projects, BitBay is not a promotion or vaporware. This crypto software is available for you to use today, for free, and does exactly what it says. Many investors speculate on coins, not even bothering to download the software and see the power of what it offers. We are trying to fix that. The BitBay Smartmarket Client software has a full user interface and hundreds of features exhaustively tested over the years. There is absolutely nothing like this anywhere in the digital currency world.
The most innovative feature will be the upcoming “rolling peg” system, which will allow for the removal of much of the volatility experienced by most average digital currencies. To explain in the simplest manner possible, the rolling peg will operate by freezing and unfreezing the coin supply, allowing for a soft peg to a predetermined value. The team is hard at work and the rolling peg anticipated to be released near the end of 2017.

So, without further ado, the following is a comprehensive list of all that BitBay has to offer TODAY, right now, at this very second:

1. Unbreakable contracts (P2P means NO blockchain bloat!)
2. Decentralized Anonymous Markets (P2P, no blockchain – stronger than Tor!)
