The coin's tokenomics show that the team is building a platform that rewards investors handsomely. First, the token is a hyper-deflationary payment network token, which rewards investors for holding tokens in BNB. For every transaction, 12% is charged, only 3% of the collected tax goes to marketing. The 4% is awarded to the token holders in BNB. It is this active income from the rewards, which is paid every 60 minutes, that is attracting most Safemoon members and thousands of other investors.
However, while there are some organisations that accept it as currency, others shy away due to Bitcoin’s dramatic price swings. Driven largely by speculation, the price per Bitcoin rose sharply from $1,151 in January 2017, to an all-time high of $19,783 in December the same year.* It then dropped to below $7,000 by February 2018 and rallied again to around $11,000 over a matter of days, before plunging once more to trade below $4,000. Subsequently, one of the key characteristics of Bitcoin that traders should understand is its potential for extreme volatility.

As users choose the more robust and convenient option, the service will see a fall in traffic that will translate to fewer transactions. This will disincentivise BTT staking, which is likely to make its core function largely obsolete.
