For those people interested in the future of HEAT (long term hodlers), and looking to earn a passive 24/7 income:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3456 blocks per day. PoS reward = 4, PoP reward = 4 (for the first year)
Example: if one holds 50 000 HEAT and ALL 25 million HEAT is working for the network (which is not going to happen, so one should earn more than this estimate)
50 000 / 25 000 000 = 0.002
0.002 * 3456 blocks =~ 7
7 blocks per day * 4 reward = 28 HEAT per day
I think this is considering only PoS rewards, so if one is performing PoS + PoP, I believe this 28 heat per day would be double. Please correct me if this is incorrect.
= 56 HEAT per day with 50 000 HEAT hodling and helping the network.
At ICO stage 1 price = 0.0001000 btc / heat
56 heat * 0.0001 btc/heat = 0.0056 btc/heat
At a exchange price of 700 USD per btc:
56 heat = 4 USD per day 24/7
Per 30 day period at ICO stage 1 price = 120 USD reward = 1680 HEAT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, let's say HEAT marketcap goes to 10 million USD at BTC = 700 USD :
1 HEAT = 0.4 USD
56 HEAT per day = 22.4 $
22.4 * 30 = 672 USD per month!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, let's say HEAT marketcap goes to the same as WAVES (which HEAT has some similar but Better capabilities than WAVES):
As of today ~ 35 million marketcap for WAVES:
1 HEAT = 1.4 $
56 HEAT per day = 78.4 $
78.4 * 30 =2352 USD per month!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is again, for a 5 btc investment at stage 1 ICO price, and then hodling 50 000 HEAT, with ALL 25 million HEAT working both PoS and PoP for the network. Please correct me if my math is wrong, I think it is fine.
While the calculation looks correct, I think its unlikely that HEAT would be able to sustain a price of $1.4 with the high initial inflation.
Lets take the Waves example.
If we use a market cap of 35 million and assume that the token price stays the same.
That would mean POS rewards for $7 million in the first year and
up to 7 million more for POP, for a total market cap of 49 million.
I think its more likely that it would push HEAT prices down a bit.
With a lower market cap it might not be the case, and the token could keep its value.
But that is of course all speculation.
In crypto anything can happen, and a 4375% increase in market cap over the first year is uncommon but certainly not impossible.
