I'm taking a few quotes from my article here: "why is kin crypto's killer app"
https://priceslide.wordpress.com/2018/04/17/kinkillerapp/Kik messenger (15 million montly active users) will use KIN to demonstrate that crypto is ready for mass consumers. Sometime soon, KIN will be integrated into Kik in the most-watched digital experiment of all time. Users will be given opportunities to earn and spend their Kin with no technical knowledge needed. Users will want Kin because they will want to spend it on things that they can use, digital or otherwise.
“When we look at Bitcoin we look at it as a decentralized incentive platform. We’re building a solution to the problem of moving value around the internet. But in order to do that, we need people from all over the world to contribute. The genius of Bitcoin is how they set up compensation for contributions. Basically, once Bitcoin is created there will never be more, and if you help us run the infrastructure you can get your own Bitcoin, and by the way, there will be demand for Bitcoin because it’s the only way to interact in the Bitcoin ecosystem.” (From Q&A with Ted Livingston #2)
But why would people transact in Bitcoin? Why would I spend my bitcoin if it could be worth twice as much tomorrow, and why would I accept bitcoin if it could be worth half as much?
Kin solves this by taking the speculative process out of crypto payments.
Games are the most obvious way to break into the micro payments market: free-to-play games already use paid digital tokens to upgrade your experience or abilities in-game. But games are just the beginning. Music production kits, personal blogs, private chats, and services that don’t exist yet will pop up to integrate KIN into their workflow. People will use these services to earn and spend KIN!
The instant that someone wants to buy KIN to use in their favorite micro-transaction game, instead of to speculate on, is the instant KIN becomes the most valuable unit of exchange in the world. Millions of people will earn and spend a cryptocurrency in their daily lives if it’s easy, fast, and fun.
