1.The Problem
In times of globalisation and travel, paying is more and more problematic. It is mainly because of exist of many different currencies. Every single day millions of people travel, exchange currencies and pay the spread (difference between buy and sell price that allows parties like banks and exchanges to make money ). E.g a transaction can have as high spread, as 12% of total transaction value and it can go through a number of intermediaries, where you are obligated pay a fee every step of the way. Even those providers, who are trying to minify the amount of parties, knowing they can earn more due to lower amount of parties, are adding bigger spread on purpose. Moreover, there is no currency for people who are travelling a lot — they need to bounce back and forth between currencies, exchanging them on frequent manner. One, universal and global currency, that could be paid in the same way in France, Canada, China or Great Britain, simply does not exist.
Intuitively, people start to seek for a universal currency. The most common currency these days are USD and EUR, but they are not common enough. Many of them turned into cryptocurrencies , like BTC or ETH. Although there are crypto exchanges and markets, they are not trustworthy or secure. That creates another problem. If a user were to buy something in a shop that does not accept given cryptocurrency, you need to exchange it to different one, which in current days means waiting for the transfer from the exchange market, what can take over 24 hours, that’s too much time comparing to simply going to the shop to buy a bottle of milk. Of course, that is only if given market supports currencies. There is a lack of well made bridge between FIAT currencies, like USD, EUR, or CHF. and cryptocurrencies, like BTC, ETH, LTC or ZEC.
Let’s assume that kind of bridge would exists, what if given currency changes its value drastically in short timespan? We cannot simply make our users predict the fiat and crypto currency rates, and we cannot simply tell users to deal with it. Users shouldn’t worry about those things. If a user recharges his account with 10 units of any given currency, he wants to use 10 units of that currency, with pinpoint precision to 10 units. The account value should not change in the meantime. To sum everything up:
Exchange currencies nowadays are uneconomic
To pay in foreign currency, firstly it needs to be bought for another one
Lack of good bridge connecting currencies and cryptocurrencies — there is only bare minimum to keep crypto currency world viable.
Transfer times are too long
Market fluctuations
- The eBit Solution
eBit Payment LLC, offering exchange including crypto exchange, without unnecessary third parties. eBit payment will also offer it’s own token, we gradually plan to extend usage of our tokens — through eBit Coins. Generally, targeted effect is having just one party in the middle — eBit payment, that means exchanging currency with smallest possible spread — 0.99% at max, which is in some scenarios dozen times less than with other solutions.
Internally each user’s account will be presented in ebit crypto currency and all transactions will be sent in any userspecified currency, including some supported crypto currencies. To achieve this, whenever user needs to pay using certain supported FIAT currency, transaction goes from his account using ebitcoins, which will be automatically exchanged in our internal exchange in real time, then directly sent to transaction destination. Everything will be done automatically, and transparently for users, just like paying with any other payment card. The whole process is instant. The order of operations: When user tries to pay with our card, the terminal asks the card provider if the transaction can go through. Than the provider’s servers ask our servers if we could send the payment, we internally check if user has enough ebitcoins on his account, and when that is correct, we send ebitcoins from his account to our exchange service, then sending the FIAT money to the shop account, then we respond to the card provider that transaction worked out, so the provider informs the terminal that everything is ok, the purchase is complete. Everything in just a few seconds — literally like that was your typical payment card.
This way the multiple currencies and exchange problem is solved — ebitcoin is that solution which was seeked by many universal currencies users. Transferring it as another currency is seamless. Because of the blockchain network speed, the transfer usually arrives in just few minutes, so this issue is solved by itself.
Simplified scheme how sample transaction works:
