im going to re-post this from 86b in slack, think it really highlights some major advantages of blocknet:
"Youll be able to choose your confirmations. There seems to be a lot of talk about network fees being expensive/etc and this is very misleading as it really only applies to BTC and is a flat fee no matter the amount of BTC youre trading. For example Litecoin: you can get into the next block paying a miniscule $0.01 mining fee... and I believe that is the 2nd most expensive.
The real value here too is not having to sell to Bitcoin, then selling that Bitcoin for an alt - youll experience trading fees + slippage premiums in the book - and this gets increasingly more expensive if you have to deposit/withdraw from exchanges. Also, when transferring from exchange to exchange to chase alts not supported on 1 exchange but supported on the other, youre relying on the speed of the exchange to process your withdraw itself and paying a high enough mining fee to get you into the next block all while being charged a withdrawal fee at the same time... then youre waiting on confirmations from the receiving exchange to process.
Lastly - our DX gives you total control of your security, and thats something many traders are willing to pay for. All in all though the whole expensive part of it only applies to BTC trading (for now - like basedgod pointed out). Another benefit is not having to worry about exchange withdrawal limits without giving copies of your identity to exchanges who frequently get compromised along with your personal info."
