What is the World Internet Currency?
The WSE operates using fictional currency called the World Internet Currency (WIC, W$) provided by www.WicExchange.com . New users receive a bonus W$100.00 assigned to their WSE account in order to experiment and start trading. When using the WIC you are issued with a limited license by WIC Exchange that you can buy and sell for US Dollars subject to the terms of WIC Exchange. The value of the WIC license is determined by an exchange rate set by WIC Exchange, the rate is then applied to the total amount of WIC assigned to that license at the time of the transaction. Trading on the WSE allows users to increase the amount of WIC assigned to their license and the more WICS users have, the higher the value of the license! The WIC Exchange rate to buy is currently USD$1/WIC$265 and to sell is WIC$270/USD$1. WIC Exchange accepts VISA, MasterCard, Bank account and Paypal. To Deposit or Withdraw WICS on WSE go to the menu and select "ATM" on the WSE. Click here to join WIC Exchange!
