What is BATA (BTA)? Barter And Trade Alternative. Bata (BTA) is a cryptocurrency that has been developed to replace trade dollars in traditional Barter Systems. As the "Sharing Economy" grows, so does the decentralized market. Bata aims to change way the way we trade, by introducing Barter on the Blockchain. A Barter cryptocurrency has been re-invented on a blockchain, decentralized, secure and widely available in the form of BTA, replacing a Trade Dollar. Trade Dollars are just like cash and for that matter are based on regular currency, but in current Barter Systems they are controlled and issued by a central party. BTA is traded on multiple cryptocurrency exchanges right across the globe. Our vision is to create a new system of commerce that will create new jobs for an information based economy, and to help break away from the current system of debt based money.
