I am confused. So what happens when factom reaches 0 ?
0 of what?
Sheep? Eggs? Beers?
I think he asks what if all Factoids get destroyed. This is not gonna happen my friend.
No cause there will be a inflation , that will that will be the same as the price of the "income" so actually the coins stay 8.75 mil.
It will fluctuate because there are three aspects:
1. New created Factoids (about 73k per month after Milestone 3)
2. Use of the system: The number of Factoids converted into Entry Credits (= out of the system)
3. Price of Factoids
If the market would be totally objective and know how much EC's are used at every time it would level the price always at:
x Entry Credits used per month * 0.001 / 73,000 = price per FCT
0.001 is the price of 1 Entry Credit in Dollar.
What that means is, that the price will play a big role when it comes to the question if more new FCT's will be created than converted (out of the system), or the other way around, or if it will be leveled out. What I expect is that the price won't be totally objective to a given time but speculation will always anticipate the future potential, the market will always try to guess future demand and progress. And that's rational in my opinion, even if it won't be possible to predict the future totally correct. But the market also involves some irrational aspects. But.. I don't mean that in a negative way because I speak about high volatility (next couple of months) and most likely it will be an upward-dynamic - it wouldn't even need good news, just an absence of bad news while good news are more likely.
But, we will know a lot more in a couple of months and after all Milestones are reached. And in best case, if Factom should gain traction more and more, it could lead into a very nice price-dynamic out of a steadily growing demand for EC's. Because it won't be just about more user and companies it will also be about the growing data-amounts per user and per company. In best case, Factom will be a system for growing systems plus it would lead into kind of a network-effect. The more it's used the more it makes sense for others to use it, not just because a working system gets more attention, but also because data is always in relation to other data and one company is always in relation to other companies.
It will be a pretty complex dynamic but if Factom won't fail, there is a lot of potential for a steady growth. I wouldn't say that the price is undervalued right now, but measured at the potential Factom in general is still underrated. That's at least my opinion.
I hope to soon hear something from the Dev teams , been quit last few days compared to weeks before. Price looks stable
and even soon to pop to 400k sat. People are accumulating a lot coins around this value
The price is really pretty stable and there was > 8 Mio of Volume just on Yuanbaohui the last 30 days. That's not the same like "they traded the total supply in just 30 days" but because of the stable price, that will lead into a price change and my guess is: Up. It's unlikely that the price will go down much after the iSoftStone-news and soon before Milestone 2.
