Question from the CryptoRank team
#1 How did you come to the idea to create the BiKi exchange?
Ethan Ng: – BiKi started in the bear market of 2018, when all exchanges and projects were downsizing. we came up with the idea of creating an exchange will be community-driven and more 1 to 1 with users. We have a long term goal of the blockchain industry, like the internet industry in the past, small companies like google and Paypal grew to big companies today and the internet industry is a mainstream industry now. So foresee blockchain industry will be mainstream too and exchange will be the financial center of the blockchain industry. We have a vested interest and long term vision for this exchange. We came up with the name BiKi because we needed a name that is more personal and universal that everyone around the world can relate and easily pronounce.

Ethan Ng: – Currently, users can stake their BIKI tokens for 1 year and get 10% interest per year and also get to be our community partner. We will be releasing a financial chain soon depending on the market sentiments, this will give the BIKI token more function for our vested users.
Anna: – Primarily used to pay for services and fees when trading on the exchange, using BIKI grants the trader discounts over using other payment methods on the exchange. BIKI follows the 4 principles of “daily buyback, quarterly burn, tokens in a locked position, steady deflation”. This motto guides the platform’s goal of bringing value to BIKI through a three-step process.

You are free to interact with other BiKi users in our community too. Most importantly, we have one of the best staking programs with good customer service for you.
#4 How is your cash flow? Given the rigorous market situation, can you still cover your cost?
Ethan Ng: – Very good question. BiKi became profitable in December 2018 and we got investments from Node Capital, FBG capital and Genesis Capital totaling $10 million. These are world-renowned blockchain venture capital funds. Because we are using a sustainable business model, we have secured $5,000,000 as part of our insurance fund to protect users, in any case, we will use this fund to compensate users in the case of hacking. So in our accounting books, we are in a very healthy state, growing 200-300% in a bear market from 2018.
