Just bought another 50K, its sad that mining getting to its end
very curious what effect the end of pow phase for the price will have. bought some 200k more today too ^^
Big dump ,nothing more. But i hope next 20.4 price will @4000
Hi Guys
just a couple of things:
firstly, mining is not "coming to an end" and as far as I am aware there are no plans to terminate it at all.
What is looming is another reduction in the mining subsidy - this happens every 100,000 blocks. On or about the 6th of July the mining subsidy (the amount added to transaction fees paid to the miner for the current block mined) will halve from 3.28125 CANN to ~1.64 CANN. This means that only ~3,380 new CannabisCoins are to be minted each day. This is a huge reduction from the initial distribution rate where ~865,000 CANN were minted daily.
What does this mean for CannabisCoin?
Miners are vital to proof of work (POW) coins like CANN (to keep the block chain moving and secure) so the expectation is that miners will be able to profit from mining CANN. Current exchange rates suggest the returns are currently marginal for miners, at best. Miners are about to lose half their subsidy. Is the reduced availability of newly-minted supply likely to double the exchange rate to maintain miners' viability? Is there expected to be a significant increase in transaction fees (meaning product is to be released into the CANNdy inventory, perhaps)? On reflection, even a small release would likely double CANN's exchange rate simply because it is tangible evidence of progress.
So many fascinating possibilities to ponder...
Will there be a major dump, as suggested by
chemal? I strongly doubt that. People are accumulating, the exchange rate is slowly but inexorably increasing so I just don't see anyone ditching a coin that is reducing new supply.
zoata87 is mistaken, there is no "end of POW phase" but there is a looming reduction in the minting rate of new supply.
My guess? Absent a "shock event" like the announcement of another milestone achievement or new product release I think there are plenty of buyers convinced of CannabisCoin's long-term potential who will continue to buy up available supply, probably squeezing the exchange price into the 2.5k-3.5K sat range.
Of course, any announcements are likely to see it race far past that.
