Megaupload 2.0 comes only in January 2017, the founder Kim Dotcom has begun to spread the word. The service, which promises 100 GB of free space in the cloud for all users, among other benefits, will also have some mysterious news.
The news that Dotcom has boasted more is still somewhat mysterious, and he did not give details. This is something called Bitcache, which will only be detailed on 20 January, but the entrepreneur promises to take the bitcoin into the mainstream and make the virtual currency shoot in value (and therefore now would be a good time to buy as investment).
According to the founder of the site, all transfer of Megaupload will be connected to a small microtransaction of bitcoin. No one knows yet say what this means, however, because Dotcom purposely omits information. Perhaps users pay for usage? Users might receive bitcoins as an incentive to use the service? Maybe both, charging a microvalor as US $ 0.00001 to send or download a file, but paying for users that generate more downloads? The certainty is that the resource could move large amounts of money in the form of bitcoin.
The fact is that he claims that the novelty will take the bitcoin the mainstream. He had stated that the Megaupload 2.0 will be released with the database of users of Megaupload 1.0, closed in 2012, which means that the service is already launched with 100 million members. That means 100 million Bitcache portfolios.
Dotcom also states that Bitcache solves the problems inherent in bitcoin, specifically the blockchain limitations that are already well known and that hinder the use of money in situations of large volume of micropayments.
Finally, Kim Dotcom also promises privacy as much as possible, something he has taken seriously since the first Megaupload was closed by the US. "Megaupload 2.0 will lead to decentralization, anonymity and encryption to a new level. A nightmare for mass surveillance and censorship. "
