Bringing Stockmarket Exchange Quality and Convenience to Cryptocurrency Trading

CURRENT PROTOCOLS & ISSUES
At present, cryptocurrencies are scattered across multiple exchanges, which means that users are often required to sign up to multiple platforms. This causes inconvenience and trust issues for users, as well as missed trading opportunities due to time lapse whilst funds are in transit between different exchange platforms.

OUR SOLUTION
Blockbid is an ultra-secure cryptocurrency trading platform with the goal of facilitating the highest volume of trades from the most cryptocurrencies on one platform. No more having to register and login to several exchanges or use poor quality exchanges just because they are the only platform to list a coin you have researched and wish to purchase. Listing will be free for all coins, and in addition, we will proactively approach the teams behind each current coin and new coins as they are created to arrange listing.

We also plan to solve the inconvenience of needing one provider to exchange fiat to Bitcoin/Litecoin/Ethereum, and another to purchase and trade the hundreds of smaller altcoins, by accepting fiat currencies directly.

BENEFITS OF USING BLOCKBID TOKENS ON OUR EXCHANGE
Blockbid tokens can be used on the Blockbid exchange to reduce the transaction costs of trading by 100% during year 1, and a 50% discount thereafter. The Blockbid tokens are not used on a per trade basis. Rather, the Blockbid tokens will give you a time window whereby you will be permitted to trade as many times as you like for a discount. The discount period is as follows:
1 Blockbid = 30 minute window

How you utilize this discount window is entirely up to your discretion. If you have determined that you need more than 30 minutes for your given trading window, simply use more than 1 token at any given time. There is no degradation on token use, meaning if you use 10 tokens at once that will be 10 x 30 minutes = 5 hours.
In addition, buying and selling Blockbid tokens on our exchange will be free.

HOW TO PURCHASE BLOCKBID TOKENS
Blockbid tokens will be for sale at our ICO which you can participate in by entering your email under the Join ICO section of our website

Users can transfer ether to the address we will provide in exchange for Blockbid tokens. The ICO value of Blockbid tokens will be:
Week 1: 1 ETH = 360 BID
Week 2: 1 ETH = 340 BID
Week 3: 1 ETH = 320 BID
Week 4: 1 ETH = 300 BID

The minimum contribution is 0.1 ETH and the maximum is 100 ETH per transaction. Final BID per ETH ratio will be adjusted according to ETH price to ensure cost per BID in USD terms is no higher than it would be at a USD$250 ETH price. Blockbid will endeavour to lock final Blockbid token price as close to $1USD = 1 BID. Participants will receive a MINIMIM 8–20% bonus during initial weeks of ICO.

SOFT & HARD CAPS
The soft cap for the Blockbid ICO is 1 million tokens. In the event that the Blockbid ICO does not achieve this, all participant funds will be promptly refunded. No more than 30 million Blockbid tokens will be created and we will not be accepting more payments if this token count is achieved.

HOW ARE THE GENERATED TOKENS DISTRIBUTED?
The generated tokens will be distributed at a rate of 80:20 between general sale and Blockbid. From Blockbid’s 20%, founders and team members will retain 12% and 8% will be available for bounties and rewards post-ICO.

USE OF FUNDS
Proceeds raised from the ICO will be used to fund platform development and expansion coinciding with anticipated strong user growth. 15% of of all funds raised during the ICO will be kept in cold storage.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BLOCKBID TOKENS ONCE YOU’VE USED THEM?
We will redistribute all of the redeemed tokens back to the Blockbid trading community free of charge in the form of rewards. Some examples of rewards can be in the form of referrals or continued support of our exchange.
