For anyone interested, 50% of the total KDC's will be mined by the first halving. That's 9,933,000 out of the total 19,958,654. By the time the second halving comes around, KDC will add another 4,966,500 coins for a total of 14,899,500.
The market cap of KDC will have to be $10 million by the first halving to reach the one dollar everyone is dreaming about. By the second halving, it has to reach $15,000,000. In order to reach two dollars, the market cap has to reach $20 million and $30 million.
To put that into perspective, outside of bitcoin, there are less than 10 coins that have a market cap of more than $10,000,000. All of them, early adopters and widely established.
Kitteh, (MEOW) which went from 2 satoshi to 120 satoshi, has a total market cap of $1,775,585 right now when I checked.
If KDC, even reached that number by the first halving, we are talking about a maximum value of 17,000. not nearly anything close to the one dollar..
I feel the impact of the dilution is severely being underestimated by the community as well as the devs. Please put these numbers into perspective.
Upon reviewing these simple but glaring numbers, I am officially out unless the devs change the parameters of the coin to a reasonable level immediately to slow down the flow of newly minted coins.
Please don't call me a hater, because I am pro KDC all the way. But look at the numbers. Can anyone even remotely reasonable say that they think KDC will be at $10-20 million market cap in 3-6 months? The numbers don't lie.
I have been wondering and analyzing, with all the community support that KDC has gotten, why the price has not gone up and instead is continually going down. Now I understand why, it should have been obvious if you examined the numbers from the beginning. KDC is a phenomenon. In the future I will avoid any coins that have a short maturity date as it will work against the supply/demand model needed to succeed. It seems the longer the maturity, the more difficult they are to mine and thus more valuable and harder to mine in proportion to the total that will be available. Altcoins have a short half-life and are designed for a pump and dump, but KDC coins are printing so many new coins a day that it is virtually impossible to pump.
To put this in even more perspective. Its been about one month now, so there should be around 3,300,000 KDC's in the market today. If we froze Klondike mining this very minute, KDC would need to have a market cap of $3.3 million to reach one dollar a coin. That would have to put us near the top 15 of all the coins in existence outside of bitcoin and double the market cap of Kitteh Coin. We are currently the lowest volume coin on Coinmarket.io
Now I understand why we could never break through to higher levels.
Sadly, this will not end here. Every day that passes by another 110,880 KDC's are being mined and that means every day an additional $110,880 needs to be added to our market cap just to maintain the goal of one dollar a KDC. By next month, it will double to $6.6 million and so on and so on.
It is great to have lofty goals as long as they are attainable and within reason. But even in the altworld, where anything can happen, it doesn't look good and every day it gets worse. This problem is not a faucet dripping and leaking, it is a dam about to burst.
