They are trying to shake out the weak hands. Over the summer I believe we will hit new ATHs. This moment in time is really a gift for everyone who missed out initially. Once this starts running it will be a freight train. When the platform is live and people are making real passive income, it will moon because it has to.
Worst case scenario, if PPT price stays low or flat, which is not likely imo, you will have a token that pays you a very high yield and for that reason alone it wouldn't make sense for this token to remain low. If you can earn 10-15% per month on your tokens that is 120-180% annually. Now that might be aggressive but even purchasing invoices at just a 5% discount per month will yield you a 60% return. You still hold your PPT and that doesn't even factor in any increase in the price of PPT.
When we go live I will be a bit conservative and see how the platform functions. I also would like to see how the platform helps me assess the creditworthiness of the invoice sellers and let them build a bit of history. Then I will lend half my tokens each month.
