If facts & reasoning don't change your mind, nothing will.
Done more research and decided to invest anyway. I jumped the gun a bit quick earlier and apologize for that.
I still think your communication is hand wavy, but your business model is solid, and your team is top notch.
I hope I made the right choice and won't be disappointed.
I'd recommend being more upfront about that market cap thing though.
Whether or not you agree that market cap applies for crypto assets in the same way as it does for stocks, it is still a fact that every other crypto under the sun agrees to this approximation (even if it is only an approximation) and accepts to be upfront about matters of supply, and how much future dilution investors should expect to undergo. So far what I observe is that each time future dilution is mentioned you (@SynereoCommunity) go into a wall of text mode where you pretty much flood the matter under reasonable sounding explanation all the while not acknowledging the fact that the current float in indeed a mere 4% of the total supply.
Can we discuss frankly about numbers?
Sure! We appreciate your critical views - these help us to decide on future plans, and give us important feedback on how we can improve.
"Market sentiment" is indeed important, as murt9000 says, and it does apply to digital tokens.
All I'm saying (sometimes with too many words!) is we need to replace the parts of that valuation model that do not apply to us.
One of those parts is "quarterly earnings reports", which the market sentiment reacts to with vigor.
I believe that the milestone funding that we've set up does this, albeit at a much longer term of 18 months. However, that will change now that we are rolling out the first alpha iteration. With each improvement (this will be every 2-3 weeks for a while), the market will see our progress this way.
The main problem I see is that many people are trying to use the principles of supply & demand in a superficial and incomplete way.
If you do not take the growth of demand into consideration, you will indeed come up with ideas like "inflationary" or "dilution". The problem is, when the user base is growing, and the number of people that hear about the project increases greatly, those equations will not work. It's a balancing act to match the increase in supply with the increase in demand - and new supporters buying tokens from the funding wallet do just this. I can tell you that many people are coming into this for the first time - they do not own any other tokens. IMO, this increase in the size of the market, and volume, will be very beneficial to the trader communities.
I invite anyone who wants to help come up with a better system than just using "supply x price" - especially those of you who are critical of our ideas - to work with us to develop something a bit more useful and accurate. We all know we live in a world where things can be 'faked' easier than ever, and we have to act collectively to fact-check people's claims. Right now, that is impossible if we are relying exclusively on 'market cap' as the litmus test.
