You already know what Bitcoin is, so why not profit from the trading of cryptocurrencies?  If you have ever wanted to own an exchange, you're in luck.  Well, you wouldn't technically own it, but you can share in the profits it generates from many actions of it's users.  Let me explain:

[OBITS](https://obits.io/) tokens are hosted on [OpenLedger](https://bitshares.openledger.info?r=perryjw1969), a cryptocurrency exchange powered by the [BitShares](https://bitshares.org/) network.  Owning [OBITS](https://obits.io/) tokens allows you to share in the profits of the [OpenLedger](https://bitshares.openledger.info?r=perryjw1969) exchange.  There is a limited supply of [OBITS](https://obits.io/) tokens similar to shares of stock in a company.  Once a month, profits from the exchange are used to buy back the tokens.  Once tokens are purchased, they are burned (destroyed) thereby reducing the number of tokens available.  This makes the tokens more valuable.  Companies will also buy back their stock when they feel it is undervalued, taking shares off the market.  A lot of companies will also pay a dividend when they have extra cash on hand.  There may be a time when [OBITS](https://obits.io/) holders could be paid a dividend in BTS ([BitShares](https://bitshares.org/)) or even BTC (Bitcoin).
