HPB is creating a high performance blockchain platform, which is the world's first platform to provide accelerated hardware chips. The blockchain is a software system integrated with hardware acceleration engine. This allows for blazing fast transaction speeds on the blockchain, which can support up to millions of transactions per second. 

- Already partners with Union Pay, which controls 80% of all of Chinas banking transaction data. UnionPay is bigger then VISA in China. This is a MASSIVE partnership here. 

- The HPB chip R & D team is assembled from Huawei and Intel experts. HPB backed by former OKEx and Huobi Executives, and by a noble prize winning physicist. The CEO, Wang Xiao Ming, is a highly respected blockchain expert in China. He has published multiple books on blockchain technology. 8btc is an angel investor along with NEO, which is China's largest news source for cryptocurrency information. All of this showcases the promise to this team. 

- Additionally HBP is partnered with NEO, and will be the first blockchain in the industry to support NeoVM (NEO Virtual Machine). NEO helped HPB launch an AMA with NEO's community, you can read the results here: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/3v6AGGWmCAPR1wuLNgDonA

- It currently is offered on Bibox, which is a new exchange, but is quite a nice exchange actually (Has a Binance feel to it). Additionally, the telegram claims they are close to being listed on KuCoin, which will help with the project gaining attention in the west. HPB has a lot of traction in the east, but is completely unknown in the west right now. This can be seen from the high volume the project has, but the extreme minimal attention it is seeing in the west right now. The project was just listed on Coinmarketcap.com yesterday. This was the case for Antshares (NEO), when it first began to gain momentum, and we all know how that turned out. 

There are 28,000,000 coins circulating at $4.88 per coin, this gives the project a current market capitalization of $136,000,000. The product with its Hardware and software depth fusion, along with agnostic virtual machine capability, has the potential to be massive. I believe it will be well above 1 billion market capitalization in the short term, which would be 10x your initial investment. Get you HPB before the price explodes.
