I hope you come forth with some transparency since the information so far provided is not enough.
So there are 1.68 billion amps in existence...
And are currently available for trading only 62.5 million..
So how many AMPs were sold in the private crowdsale?
How many AMPs were given away as part of the promotion?
Where the private crowdsale AMPs already released to the market?
I assume you have not updated the market cap figures to reflect this sale? If so why not?
And soon you are going to sell $8 million dollars more of AMP at 40 sats according to the web page for crowd sale.
Assuming that price of 40 sats then $8,000,000 = 12,900 BTC at $620 per BTC
Which means you are going to sell 12900/0.0004 = 32.2 million AMPs
Basically you are diluting the market cap of the 62.5 million AMPS in the market by an additional 32.2 million, which is a 51.5% market cap dilution, and you are hoping that the market cap is boosted automatically and magically by the same proportion. That would require that the price holds when these additional AMPs are released to the market.
So lets assume that you do this and the people buy all of your AMPs and then you release to amps to the buyers..
First you have sold all of the AMP to the people who want to buy AMP who are now in the market thinking should I buy now at market prices or should I buy from the Devs. So when you sell AMP directly to the buyers, you have taken those buyers away from the market and embezzled the value of that sale to you rather then to the market.
So now we have a market with a lot more holders and less buyers... how do expect the price to hold up?
Now lets repeat this scenario to the total 1.68 billion AMPS available.
I am truly at a loss on how anyone can think that this is possible... Basically you are increasing the market cap of AMP (if price holds) in huge steps by doing these progressive crowdsales instead of letting the buyers dictate the price of an AMP by the standard market forces.
Now all of the current holders of AMP get screwed out of a price rise since you are taking the buyers out of the market and selling them more coins...
Again, the idea of valuating this company (or any other) by using hacked terms borrowed from the stock market (or others) is not going to work for anything meaningful.
So I'll try to correct & answer your questions as best as possible.
There was no "private crowdsale". It's all one thing.
The pre-sale has been going on for some time now, and it is included with the total.
They will all be released at the same time, at the end of the sale.
The other details can't be calculated until it is over. Stay tuned.
We do not do a "market cap" - that is something the exchanges have created.
So when you sell AMP directly to the buyers, you have taken those buyers away from the market..
It sounds like you might be confused. The secondary market where traders buy & sell tokens is supplied by us in general. All tokens that we (or any similar company) sell are "directly to buyers". We are the sole producer of said product, as are all tokens. We do not compete with this market, we enable it. The more people that hear about Synereo, the bigger that market will be, including buyers. The social media platform is the vehicle that can take digital tokens to the masses - far beyond what has been accomplished by BTC.
This confusion comes from misusing the stock market term of "market cap". Stocks are ownership in the company; tokens are not. Even in these traditional companies, market cap is not the sole determiner of the value of the company. However, if a publicly traded company did create new stocks, and they sold them on the market and the total was more than the actual value of the company, the market would react and the stock price would adjust down (that's why they only do this when there is room to move there) - just like it can move up when positive quarterly earning reports are released.
So the missing piece of information in your line of questioning is "How much is Synereo worth?". That has nothing to do with the amount of tokens on the trading market. One standard way is to compare the company to other similar companies. Facebook is worth around $350 billion - and analysts recently claimed it could be worth $1 trillion in the future (whose future, I don't know!). Ethereum was around $1 billion. At the moment, no one has a scalable blockchain specified except Synereo - which means they can get to the size of Facebook. Now, these are just loose comparisons, but even with their drawbacks, they are more helpful in valuation than just multiplying the tokens already sold to the market by their trading price at the moment. You have to create some perspective, not just a single dart thrown at a wall.
The markets are good at finding equilibrium once they are mature. The AMP market is not yet mature - it has just begun. The market knows that there are more AMPs designated for Future Funding, and that they will be used as they pass milestones. Each milestone increases the value of the company, because it has moved closer to those mature competitors like Facebook. (this is not even considering the many other markets that Synereo will serve, beyond social media) If Synereo did try to sell more AMPs to the market in the future, and the company's potential new value was not greater than this figure, the market would reject them.
On the other hand, since Synereo is still a start-up company, thinking that new AMPs "dilute" the market is misplaced. Even if nothing else happened, just the money that is raised would increase the balance sheets; "infusion" is a better word for what happens. The value of the company will be recalculated by the market, based on the new information available. You are free to speculate that the value is too much, too little, or just right. The vast majority of people I've heard think it's low. Even Steem is still almost twice where AMP will come out of the funding event, and it has declined for a couple months.
