If one looks at a project like Centz, crypto tokens purchased in the crowdsale function not only as an asset of the company held as an investment, but can be exchanged for Goldbucks and spent throughout the network – whether for oneself or given via transferable e-gift cards. Dubbed the world’s first gift card cyptoexchange, their ICO commences in 39 days times from today.
In total, there will be a maximum of 16,000,000 Centz tokens for sale by OpenLedger exclusively on their plaCorm. The Centz Token, which will trade under the symbol of CNTZ, will be fully tradable when the ICO goes live.
The early bird round, which has a limit of 6,000,000 Centz Tokens available, started on December 7, 2016, and runs late January 2017 with the minimum order being 1 bitcoin (BTC) and bonuses increasing from the 20 BTC level.
Undoubtedly, the future is ripe with a myriad of opportunities for fintech disrupters innovating business models and ways of conducting commerce with the implementation of blockchain technologies. It will be interesting ride into 2017 and to see how it all pans out. Carpe diem.
