Smart bitMoney is pegged to be used for real life payments

in #bitshares7 years ago (edited)

There is this ingenious part of Bitshares that might be undervalued quite a bit. It is things like bitEuro, bitUSD and so on, that can be found at the Bitshares Decentralized Exchange {DEX}. Not limited to that, there is also things like bitSilver and bitGold. Yet, in this post I want to keep the focus on Smart bitMoney {SBM}. Still tinkering a bit with what the best name would be for Blockchain Valuta, but I'll keep it at SBM for the time being. But why are those bitUSD, bitEuro and bitCNY already fit for real life payments? The answer is actually quite simple.

Because they have the same value as their Debt bankersMoney {DBM} counterpart they are pegged to. Now, I'll leave the complex technical part where it should be, at the Bitshares blockchain. The real life usage though is that it is worth what it states. So if you are lucky enough to be able to buy a cup of coffee still for 1 Euro, somewhere, then you could pay with 1 bitEuro. You could exchange some Bitshares assets to bitUSD, if you like, on the Decentralized Exchange {DEX}, for instance. Where you would send some to your smart phone and maybe pay some dinner with it.

The Smart bitMoney wallet

Yes, there is a very good one available, developed by Bitshares-Munich, and it is called Smartcoins wallet. Just install it from the App store (for Android, click here) and you can use it for receiving and sending all kinds of Bitshares types of Smart bitMoney. Meaning also the pegged ones like: bitUSD and bitEuro.

The really smart real life use being that is has that value. At this point Bitshares is a bit ahead of Steem, because we currently only have Steem Backed Dollar at this platform. Lucky for us those both blockchaines are family and Bitshares also supports Steem. And all like 1-2-3-DONE. It is such a bliss using these kind of Blockchains for transactions. That is something merchants can experience for themselves, thanks to things like Blockpay.

Point Of Sale, just as simple

Receiving payments should be just as easy for merchants as it is for you and me to be able to pay, right? Otherwise there would be not real life use to it. And yes, you could use the Smartcoins wallet for this, but what it you wanted to have it fully intregrated within your company? Just receiving the right valuta on your business bank account might become too complex when just using your Smartcoins wallet. And that is where Blockpay comes into action. With this a merchant can easily receive all kinds of Smart bitMoney, not just limited to the Bitshares supported ones. And it has a free Odoo plugin, so it can be completely integrated into any kind of business.

This is also a developement by Bitshares Munich. And it delivers the whole package. For traders, customers, entrepeneurs and those who Blog on Steem. All with ease of use in mind, that is already a reality, set to be used in day to day life. And all part of that big growing family of the fastest blockchain technology on the planet. The one that does 3-2-1-BLOCK! Now that you can take to the bank... Or maybe not even anymore, just go crypto, all the way. (Androind Blockpay App, click here.)

It is already here

All those blockchains that state they could at one point be used in real life situations, with decentralized exchange, or not. Going faster with 1 block per minute and what not. Scale doubling and so on, it is all future talk in the crypto realm. Well, it is, with the exception of Bitshares, supporting Steem also. It can already be used in real day to day life situations, just like 1-2-3-DONE! That is the real power of the Bitshares blockchain technology and its direct relative Steem.

It is already here, to be used by you and me, just as easy and fast like 1-2-3!

Have a good one!

Excellent post! I like your work My friend

Thank you! I am very glad that you appreciate my posts. :-)

Thank you for the explanation @oaldamster. Anything you can write explaining the use functions of BitShares is helpful.

Yes.....very important for a crypto-currency to have ingress...egress.

All the best to you. Abientotlater.

It is my pleasure @bleujay.
Cryptoconomy needs to rotate indeed. And Bitshares has got what it takes.

All the best in return!

Excellent write up @oaldamster!

Simple proof that bitUSD is superior to all other fiat pegged tokens is that it's the only functional one left! :)

Thank you @cm-steem!

It is indeed great, and I think, just like Steem, Bitshares needs to be brought to the attention to all of the crypro realm and beyond! :-)

And thanks for the resteem!
