Topic: [ANN] Blockbid: 90% Reduction in Coin Supply (Read 2528 times)

Just out of interest: why can't you raise more money than you need? I mean theoretically you could or what is the point?

It's a reduction in the hardcap we originally had of 30m tokens... so it means we won't and can't raise any more money than we actually need, and ensures our market cap stays very low.

Ok by the way what is the 90% reduction in coin supply based on? Are those unsold tokens you plan to burn or is it something else?

Still here and working!

Oh you actually responded but in a rather unusual way when it comes to using the quote function on this forum Nevermind!

Ah so you can't see my response?

Hey was checking by here and saw you answered my post while it seems it didn't work out properly. Empty quote!

The decission to reduce the total coin supply will helps in building it's price but will still be needing a good marketing strategy and promotions for the cryptoworld to be aware about your decision and about the project itself.
In that way, it will have the support and adoption of the community.

90% Reduction in Maximum Coin Supply

Blockbid is pleased to announce that it has reduced its maximum coin supply from 30m tokens to 3m tokens. This decision has been made following investor feedback and to ensure investor confidence.

This will be done by pausing the smart contract once 3m tokens are sold. As before, our soft cap remains at 1m tokens. If this figure is not achieved, all ETH received is automatically refunded via the smart contract.

The initially planned and stated maximum potential coin supply of 30m, if the ICO was fully subscribed, would result in a Blockbid market cap of approx USD$20m, which is higher than justified given our relatively early stage of development.

The original hard cap was formulated to provide adequate supply for a large number of traders to receive free or discounted brokerage on our exchange, as no additional coins will ever be minted.

We also feel it is important to only raise the funds that are required to build the exchange, and USD$2m will be sufficient for this. If further funds are required in addition to USD$2m, they will be raised via private equity.

With a reduced maximum supply of 3m tokens, the highest possible market cap Blockbid can attain based on ICO pricing is approx USD$2m; this figure is commensurate with our current stage of progress.

This will support BID token value upon commencement of trading, which will be shortly after ICO completion on one or more of the many existing exchanges.

Blockbid is and will continue to be highly attentive to user and investor feedback, and one of our primary concerns is to ensure that the on-market value of our tokens meets or exceeds the price paid by ICO participants.

With this adjustment, the maximum market cap and coin supply upon commencement of trading will be 90% lower than stated in our initial ICO announcement.

The whitepaper and all future press releases will also be amended.

If you wish to participate in the ICO you will require an Ethereum wallet such as MEW.

In which countries have you already acquired licenses for legal activities?

All good! And yes we are always open to equity investment also as long as it's on fair terms.

No of course not to just increase your bank balance but maybe you have good use cases for the money and could expand the team and development, marketing and all that stuff. But yes, you know better what to do and how to proceed with your stuff than I do I guess Just saying
