BitcoinVend, a peer-to-peer marketplace and crypto payment platform, has announced today that they will integrate with the TrustSwap Launchpad for their token liquidity offering on February 24th at 9:00 AM PST.

BitcoinVend is an all-in-one app for mobile devices that makes crypto more accessible for people & businesses. The BitcoinVend app enables anyone with a smartphone to :

  • Buy & sell anything with crypto
  • Process payments
  • Exchange peer-to-peer

And much more…

Challenges of Crypto Adoption

Despite growing awareness, crypto is not part of everyday life for most of the world and has not even come close to reaching its potential.

Some of the reasons include:

  • It’s complicated for everyday people — The tech is complex with a steep learning curve.
  • You cannot spend it on everyday items — Very few businesses accept it as a form of payment.
  • Many people have mixed feelings about crypto — Lack of understanding has led to skepticism.

BitcoinVend solves these problems by offering a global digital marketplace in the palm of your hand.

How It works

BitcoinVend brings together seasoned crypto users, businesses, & newcomers alike.

It enables business to:

  • Accept crypto in-store or online with no technical skills
  • Sell products and services for crypto in a global marketplace
  • Send & receive payments instantly in over 30 cryptocurrencies
  • Auto-convert payments to local currency and withdraw to bank accounts

And much more. BitcoinVend makes cryptocurrency seamless.

It enables people to:

  • Pay friends, family, & businesses
  • Sell items or setup an online store and get paid in crypto
  • List services and get paid in crypto
  • Swap peer-to-peer between crypto and cash

The BitcoinVend team is on a mission to accelerate mainstream adoption and ensure that cryptocurrency becomes the default medium of exchange sooner rather than later. They have developed their all-in-one comprehensive solution with mass adoption in mind.

The BitcoinVend app is currently in Beta testing and will be launched in Q2 of this year.

The $BCVT Token

The BCVT token powers specific features and functionality which relate to user management, trust score, dispute resolution, and policy enforcement. BCVT token is the default unit of account for all fees and transactions.

Holding enough $BCVT will allow users to:

  • Get discounted fees in the app or pay no fees at all
  • Increase their “Trust Score” (increasing the willingness of other users to trade with them)
  • Become “Mediators” who get paid a % of the transaction value for resolving disputes
  • Vote on technology upgrades and feature integrations within the app
  • Run nodes and receive a % of all transactions processed

In summary, the BCVT token gives a strong element of decentralization to the BitcoinVend platform. $BCVT is the default way of paying fees and it incentivizes usage in a multitude of ways. Furthermore, BCVT token incorporates game theory to align incentives to remove bad actors.
