The origin of BOOM is simple, once users transfer BOOM to others, 1% of the total transfer amount is automatically destroyed at the same time. The initial total supply of BOOM is 1 billion. The supply will decrease due to transactions, and no new BOOM will be issued then.
Does this mean that the receiver gets the amount he received with a cut already of 1% of the total amount?
That's definitely what he means and I'm surprised what the project is thinking before implementing such protocol which will reduce the quantity of token send to receiver instead of burning token from the total supply.
I don't see the sense of having that kind of protocol and passing the burden and consensus of that token to the users. Do the developers think that people like this kind of system, I don't think that they would love to pay that much for burning those tokens.
They should have thought of it that burden shouldn't be passed on the receivers, it's better if they have been burning the fees if ever there is a fee for each transaction.
