Has anyone found what benefits token buyers get out of holding the tokens?
Although I don't think this is planned as an investment so you don't need to get additional bonuses out of holding the tokens.
Maybe essentially this is a utility token and not an invesment token, so they wont give you any special benefit for holding the tokens.
Wait what? Then why would people want to participate in the ICO at all? Is Soma some kind of philanthropic project?
To be able to answer that question I think we first need to know what exactly Soma's business model is. Has anyone found a description of it?
Well to be honest I am not really sure what their business model exactly is. Could it be possible that they charge a small fee when an trade/auction on their market place was successful?
Then why don't Soma say so in their whitepapers?
And fees on trades? I thought their vision was to "cut out the middlemen from the trading"!
This is the only thing I can find:
SCT complements a good business model with patent-pending features and it is inevitable fact that the crypto currencies will play a major role in the future of C2C-platforms
What is that good business model?
We have to guess?
I get what you mean, this whole topic in the whitepaper is too vague. It would be good to have someone of the team showing up here and answer such questions. It should be clear how the team plans to earn money with their working product.
