However, irrespective of the unique characteristics and benefits accompanying the use of cryptocurrencies for transactions in businesses, so many business owners are yet to adopt this technology. This is as a result of the difficulty involves in the real life usage of theses digital currencies. A lot of merchants still prefer the traditional Fiat currency transaction system. Therefore there was a need to create a project such as CHIMPION which will encourage the acceptance and real life usage of cryptocurrencies.
CHALLENGES WITH CRYPTO PAYMENT ADOPTION
The adoption of cryptocurrencies as means of payment for goods and services is having a hard time due to the following issues:
Difficulty in understanding the real life usage of cryptocurrency: it looks stressful trying to adopt the use of crypto currencies especial to those who are not familiar with the blockchain technology.
Low level of acceptability of cryptocurrencies in Exchange for goods and services by merchants.
Lack of proper infrastructures put in place to enable effective cryptocurrency payments.
Difficult user interface which discourages merchants as well as customers from venturing into cryptocurrency transactions.
CHALLENGES WITH TRADITIONAL FIAT PAYMENT OPTION
Like the saying goes, everything has advantages and disadvantages; in as much as people are trying to run away from adopting the amazing features of crypto currencies and the blockchain technology, there are also some factors limiting the success of e commerce when using Fiat currencies especially in some areas where people do not have essay access to the traditional bank services. Some of such factors may include:
i. unnecessary High transaction charges .
ii. Inability to assess online banking facilities in some areas.
iii. Lack of transparency in payment, some hidden charges is applied due to the use of middle men.
iv. Inadequate security tools put in place to checkmate fraudulent activities.
v. Difficult, long and delayed payment methods
REASON FOR THE CREATION OF CHIMPION
Taking into consideration the need to promote E- commerce globally without barriers and encourage mass adoption of cryptocurrencies as means of payments for goods and services Chimpion was created to leverage on the innovative features of blockchain technology. Although a few merchants have stated accepting cryptocurrencies as means for payment, the main aim of Chimpion creation was to create an enabling environment where more Merchants globally would accept this digital currency thereby adding more value to e -commerce industries.

Meaning the merchants can not collect payment in their local currency, which makes Chimp no different than ByteBall. Now we just have ANOTHER token floating around attempting to compete for dominance. I see the same thing happening to crypto as has happened to Linux. Linux has far too many varieties and none are compatible with the other. Whichever flavour you choose is the one you are stuck with. If there was just ONE form of Linux, I believe it would have become a household operating system by now. It is superior to Windows, but diluted by all the competition.
All those developers attempting to introduce their own token rather than pooling resources to make ONE token the best it can be are basically cutting their own throats. Smarten up you smart people! You are smart enough to develop a great product, but not smart enough to see how it affects the big picture.
well, you may be correct about Linux and other examples you have cited here , but for chimpion, i think the essence is to promote the adoption of cryptocurrencies, so the fact that buyers of goods and services are able to pay not only with chimpion coin but with any other stable coin is an idea that will encourage the use of crypto in real life which i think is the main aim of the project.
For competition, it cannot be eliminated because everyone is trying to be better than the other , Mr. B uses the loop holes in Mr A's product to enhance his own and so on.
