100k satoshis. Going there. How, I don't know. That just seems likely in the not too distant future. 10 million overseas Filipino workers sending money back home. $30 billion USD market. You get 1% of 1% and try to do the math.
Any reason for using Pesobits instead of bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency for that matter? What's so special about it, other than the name?
3 major reasons, and a few small ones:
1) Pesobit gives the coin owners staking 5% interest while Bitcoin does not give anything. This allows Pesobit users to earn back all the fees they need to pay, or even make some money if they can hold on to their PSB long enough. Bank interest rates are at 1.5% in the Philippines, so clearly they make more money holding PSB.
2) Bitcoin is extremely slow to send around - it is not a practical payment tool. Pesobit is casi-instanteneous; this is a major problem for Bitcoin.
3) Pesobit was created by a team of Filipinos - while remittances can also be done with Bitcoin, connecting Pesobit with local Philippine Peso is easier to negociate and arrange, as they feel they have better control over software development and what is needed to make it work.
4) We can add here a sense of national identity, which is something Filipinos and Filipinas are not getting with Bitcoin - but this is a minor reason when compared to the previous 3.
