I prefer to mine this coin instead of buying in pre-sale, it's too expensive!!!
There are 2 billion coins, IPO price is 465 sats and 518 sats, let's say 490 in average, the market cap will be 2 billion * 490 sats = 9800 BTC, it's too big for a new coin!
If you set a lower fixed price in IPO phase, you can raise more BTCs in pre-sale, it's good for investor,miners and you DEV team, really don't know how the high price is finalized!!
These numbers also give me pause. They exceed Vericoin's and XC's market caps and approach those of Blackcoin, Counterparty, Mastercoin and Monero's. It isn't to say that these marketcap levels aren't achievable by Syscoin, but the question for investors is what kind of room does that leave for growth and a return on our investment? Doesn't seem to leave much, unless I'm missing something.
Basically, with devs arranging to get so much BTC up front - a lot of the potential return is shifted to devs and more of the potential risk to investors. Would appreciate it if devs could address this concern on pricing.
Over next 17 months 315,187,200 coins will be mined. At 518 sat that is 1632 bitcoins. If presale buyers HOLD 17 months and the price stayed at 518 sat over the next 17 months then the market cap on what was mined will be $1,028,160
Factor in the presale numbers and devs coins then after 17 months we got around a $3,000,000 market cap at 518 sat.
In 17 months a $3,000,000 market cap will be small. In 17 months syscoin will either make you broke (bad investment) or rich (good investment).
