Note of Caution: Please do your due diligence
It's possible most understood the following, but personally at first reading of the OP I thought this was a new DAC with a total of 10 million official tokens/units. My current understanding is that there could ultimately be a trillion+ such units issued and they are designed to be price stable, so your upside is limited.

FandangledGizmo. Thank you for your due diligence and deep dive into the project. You bring up the same point that was discussed yesterday a little on BitsharesTalk. The upside is not "limited" Who would argue having more Dollars has a limited upside? The more I have the better for me. That is what
mainstream consumers know. And the same will be for Sollars.
You may disagree with that philosophy and therefore see the "upside" as limited but that is a relative statement. No money system will be fair to everyone on the planet but at least the way we are doing it allows latecomers and early birds to benefit for their various reasons. At the end of the day we eventually want an alternative to the Dollar.
We are eventually trying to replace the Dollar NOT Bitcoin. Sollars is not a commodity. So calculating your "investment" is very simple. Like Dollars, the more you have the better your possible "return". Consider the answer I gave on BitsharesTalk.
SoLCerts is an example of using a token to represent a portion of the 1 trillion SSS Sollar bond fund. 10,000,000 SSS Sollar bonds will be represented through this (SoLCerts) token.
http://newmoney.sollars.com/new-money-funding-series-part-4-solcerts/So these 10 million SolCerts represent 0.001% of a total 1 trillion bond fund?
(I don't understand bonds very well, to someone more familiar with limited crypto tokens, this pre-sale seems to be for a very small amount of future supply?)
Thanks for diving deep. Yes 1 SoLCert essentially equals one future Sollar through the Sollar Bond. But that is too complicated to explain to most people. At the end of the day a SOLCERT is a future Sollar. Sollars and Sense will be a stable unlimited supply coin as we are trying to be a currency with it and not a commodity like Bitcoin or Bitshares. Our commodity is SOLCERTS and Sollar Bonds. That is more like Bitshares or a speculative asset. One can use SoLCerts/Sollar Bonds to speculate on the value of the future Sollar against the future Dollar. If you believe the Dollar will be here forever then no need to follow this project. If you dont then consider the vision and roadmap of our project. Read part 3 of that series.

Whether Sollars supply gets to 1 Trillion or 60 Trillion like the Dollars market cap will all depend on adoption of the currency by regular everyday consumers. It is my 10 year goal to get it to 1 Trillion. And to start on that path is with SOLCERTS, this bond fund and Millennials. We are issuing assets the same way Bitcoin, the US government and Bitshares issued assets to fund itself out of thin air. This is no different except that we are creating a mainstream alternative with a brand to actually take on the Dollar. So if you believe in a stable alternative to the Dollar then believe in this... or not. Either way people participating in our pre-sale are essentially buying into that mainstream currency supply now through SOLCERTS. And if we are successful you are going to be glad you did. As you can see from my answer above this project is for a mainstream audience. We do things differently and we have a different philosophy necessary for mass adoption of our currency unit. That may not go over well in crypto-land but I can guarantee you your grandma will us Sollars and Sense:Smart Money before she will us Bitcoin. #Makes$ense #Stability #Sollywood
