They needed the funds to develop the payment system they are planning and probably will develop , I'm not saying they won't do that. But what you have been given, these Monetha tokens are useless as they will just act as vouchers once the payment system is up and running! You haven't bought shares or a % of the company. They wanted your cash and in exchange have given you coupons for their project once it's up and running. Monetha vouchers/tokens are not needed for the future of the project. The team don't need them for it to be successful. You don't have to own Monetha vouchers/tokens to use the platform.
So ask yourself, why would anyone want to own them?
Example -
For Bitbay marketplace you need to own Bitbay
For Edgeless casino you need to own Edgeless Tokens
For Monetha you need . . . Oh wait 😬
Hello funsponge, thanks for your question.
Below are two answers from our community members that have provided the clearest answer:
“my reason as an investor for wanting to invest in Monetha is to gain the MTH tokens, which I’m hoping one day there would be a huge array of merchants and people who use Monetha. So I’m kinda always given “free" or heavily discounted stuff because I’m a MTH holder. And eventually these vouchers would be attractive enough for people, who are not yet MTH holders, to want to get MTH tokens, so that they can get access to these vouchers for discounts and free stuff.”
Or, what another member on Telegram said it: “I see the token vs voucher question in the following way: You buy MTH TOKENS to contribute the platform and later maybe to pay with it. For your contribution you will get tradable + spendable tokens and later when the platform is major enough and generate revenue, you will get as EXTRA also a voucher (like an Amazon or Steam) which is spendable only. Of course vouchers require a wide/strong support of the platform, which, I guess, is expected by all the ICO contributors. If you only contribute to make quick money on an exchange, forget the vouchers and be happy with the skyrocketing token price :wink: Where you can spend MTH tokens, there you can spend also the voucher.”
