The project team says that the coin’s “rapid adoption and development has positioned Creditbit as the ‘Future of Money.’”
This digital currency project was launched in 2015 with the goal of “reach[ing] out to every individual on the planet,” with the hopes of providing blockchain-based banking and financial services. The team says that difficulties with the traditional finance system makes it “almost impossible” for a large portion of the world to have their own bank accounts. The team cites centralization and “decision makers,” as sources for these difficulties.
This cryptocurrency differentiates itself from Bitcoin by “implement[ing] the changes to prevent [Bitcoin’s] issues from repeating on their platform.” The altcoin uses a Proof of Work-Proof of Stake hybrid, which solves “the no-take-at-stake problem generally faced by the Proof of Stake (PoS) systems,” according to the development team. The altcoin’s developers also say that it is capable of processing transactions “ten times faster than Bitcoin,” which has wait times of around 10 minutes. Reportedly, transactions can be confirmed in less than 30 seconds.
