Guys  I don't  understand   the use  of  this  coin.   Does it   work  as  a  payment-gateway  between banks  and  blockchain?

does it  have  future?   I don't  know  there  are plenty of payment processors  out  there...   paypal, skrill..  why  people  should   use  one  blockchain based?  Just  for curiosity

That's basically an airdrop token you just need to linked your bitcoin to the lumens wallet and you will be able to receive the free lumers in every period, and in my understand that. it was so easy because i was participating in the crowdsale.
