Above all things, MBank will be needed for automated systems and atomic swapping.
People themselves can decide how profitable the deal would be if made right here and right now. Machines are not that intelligent as they need a comprehensible algorithmic environment with the complete predictability of the exchange operation outcome. It is these robots that exchanges and services for selling BIP and other Minter-based coins will connect to.
The official price plays a pivotal role here, being a gateway for both entering the project and exiting it. In reality, the addresses transfer the rights to BIP ownership between one another. There are neither new nor burned coins; they don’t appear on or disappear from the network, either. All they do is change hands.
Liquidity Providers will be able to use MBank for building long-term products, where it is paramount to have stability and unlimited liquidity with guarantees. All other users will be able to put their BIP and custom coins up for sale at any price.
