There are more than 100 crypto exchanges in the world. More than half of these trade at volumes lower than our expected monthly output. It does not make sense to pay them as a middleman when our production will be high enough that we can enter the exchange space with our own reserves, and undercut the buyer/sellers who do not mine.

Operating our own exchange will result in a 10% gain across the entire budget of our business: 5% from avoiding the conversion fees of the other exchanges we would be using, and an additional 5% when developing our own exchange customer base.
