I am the only investor in my business. And initially putting up USD $5m of my own own money to fund growth of Tagbond. I don't hold any coin, except the small premine (10,500) that was made to give out as rewards which is what we are doing. We have no intention of selling that and for what?..a few thousand dollars of profit that would give us a bad reputation?
I am curious as to what price you think is too high. Please explain why you think the currency price of about 25 cents is too high?..It values the whole amount of about 4m coins in the first year at USD 800k. Think about our business model, and then tell me what the right price should be. Not within the world of speculative commodity trading and miners, but the actual real economy of advertising and rewards.
Just to put this in perspective - say we have 1,000 businesses on our platform wanting to push their deals, marketing modules etc, and they pay in TAG to push their results to the top of the search results (like google). Each one bids for keywords, and we take that only in TAG. Conservatively speaking, each of those business may spend the equivalent of $100 a month (in TAG) for placements and advertising. That's $100,000 a month in TAG turnover. Multiply by 12 and you can see that the current pricing is not high enough. Now take that same figure and multiply by 100 because we intend to be the platform of choice for deals, affiliate marketing, and rewards, and you begin to see why the value needs to be higher. In fact we may not be able to take just TAG, we would probably have to take in BTC as well. If we only service 1,000 businesses a months spending $100 each then fine, but we intend to do a lot more than that and the coin price needs to rise accordingly to match our turnover. I don't think anyone has built a coin for this purpose, but the logic is there for everyone to see. As I said, we are transparent about we are doing and how.
We don't need to buy it, it's the customers that come to our platform that have to buy in exchange for advertising and rewards in TAG. It solves so many problems for us in regards to cross currency charging, credit card charging etc AND we use the same TAG to give as rewards to customers (either from us or from business wanting to offer it). But it would make sense to keep TAG at a stable price that supports our own business objectives. And that is just ours, I have no idea how many other businesses will come on board to use TagCoin.
So I would welcome thoughts on this...maybe there are better business minds out there that can let me know what I am doing wrong. I am always willing to learn...
