Bitcoin, GRIN ツ and others...
Grin MimbleWimble News #29
GRIN ツ is a Commodity ?
The debate over whether cryptocurrencies should be defined as securities, like stocks, or commodities, like wheat or gold, continues..
Commodities don’t produce a return from a common enterprise. They are goods or property that get mined or grown where their value is intrinsic based on market supply and demand.
Bitcoin's decentralized character has led to its acceptance as a commodity. And Grin is similar to Bitcoin and even more similar to Gold with its linear emmission.
Grin ツ has;
NO ICO.
NO Premine.
NO central company/ foundation / Dev tax fee.
‘‘Grin is a decentralized digital currency built openly by developers distributed all over the world.’’
