Use Case
An Outsider's View
Mark is a small business owner who has a thriving business. He has watched with much enthusiasm how bitcoin steadily grew from 20 cents to $20,000 in less than a decade. Now mark would love to get involve in cryptocurrency and possibly bring his business on the blockchain but doesnt know how to.

He meets his friend, paul, who is a big cryptocurrency investor but when he tells mark how bad the market can get; mark was astonished and left frustrated. He decides it might not be in his best interest to take such risk as his business is barely thriving.

One day, on his twitter feed, he saw this post that talks about a new,stable and asset-backed cryptocurrency with high yield which just kind of agree with mark initial view of the market.

Finally, mark thinks he will be able to settle with this for a start and eventually be able to bring his struggling business on the blockchain to gain more exposure through the Kinesis Commercial Center.

Mark is happy he met paul before investing, Mark is happy he found Kinesis on time to invest into their ICO and buy tokens when it is still cheap!
