Bcshop.io: The online retail 'flagship killer'

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

As some people have heard about Bcshop.io, I am personally excited about its potential and I think it is truly a game changer and not to mention a 'flagship killer' of sorts in big online retail chains.

Bcshop.io can be used for purchasing items such as software license codes, e-tickets, online event tickets and many more.

Now, instead of hyping it up on how awesome it is, let us look at the problem of online retail and how bccshop.io can be the solution.

Relevance

Talk to some people on the street and it is likely that not many actually understand how the blockchain and cryptocurrencies work. One reason in my opinion is that such knowledge has no relevance to them. Why would someone bother to even know about cryptocurrencies if it does not affect your life? But this is different with Bcshop.io where the service is tied to so many cool items.

Want to get a software that costs cheaper online but double the price in your home country? Use Bcshop.io. Want to get an xbox game? Use Bcshop.io. This is one of the items I look forward to as my country has no support for xbox games and each game costs at least 20usd more.

So when I go around telling someone that they can get their favorite game or software at a cheaper price instead of the local online retail store, their answer would probably be, "sign me up!". As such, this opens up not only opportunities to get cool stuff at competitive prices, it allows for vendors to sell cool stuff for maximum income and at cheaper prices. This is because
Bcshop.io does not have any hidden cost.

Hidden costs
Online retail in my country requires the purchase of custom government software. That costs money on top of the maintenance of data servers and protection from virus attacks as well as hacking. Bcshop.io uses blockchain technology which eliminates all this, allowing for cost to be cut in data server maintenance and one would not have to worry about virus attack and hacking.

Furthermore, Medium.com pointed out that there is no hidden fees and its fees never exceeds 2%. Most local sites in my home country charges at least 10%. Now imagine if you can make an extra 8% or give that 8% to the consumer through discounts. This would be great for the business and would make prices more competitive as compared to amazon.com or even taobao

Currency
If I were in another country and I wanted to get something from amazon.com, I would have to convert a particular currency to purchase this item. That may not seem like much, but convert it often enough, and you lose a fair chunk of your hard earned money to currency conversion alone.

With Bcshop.io, this is taken out of the equation, instead all transactions are made using Ethereum, one of the most widely accepted cryptocurrencies in the world. This is akin to buying something from your local online shop and it makes stores overseas more accessible. Furthermore, its less of a headache for vendors as the bank is removed from the transaction process. This eliminates certain cost such as transaction fees, conversion fees and annual fees.

Final words
All in all, I am excited to use bcshop.io and can't wait to introduce this to other people. This is truly going to disrupt the online market place, akin to how bitcoin did the same with currency.

Good post, thanks. One of the advantages of BCShop.io seem to be that they do not focus on their token, but rather on their service for everybody.
