“Combining the internet with Bitcoin gives us a real chance of achieving the original promise of the internet; freedom of speech, commerce and finance.

Kimble went onto say that the bitcoin blockchain has been able to scale so far and is now able to support a range of new potential.

“We can finally create our KIM token on top of Bitcoin thanks to recent technical breakthroughs like Lightning and Liquid. Bitfinex is the perfect partner to help us distribute KIM tokens, built on Bitcoin, to those who want to access the freedoms that our products provide.”

Bitfinex mea while highlights that the reward IEO platform will have “direct integrations with the Bitfinex exchange itself.” The firm's chief tech officer Paolo Ardoino made some notes on the current state of things.

“Most IEO’s are marketing campaigns that focus on achieving a short-term result, but that’s not how real businesses are built. Successful businesses are built through long-term, sustainable growth.”
