This is the part I think most believers fail to understand/acknowledge.
As of now you would need to dump 1.7m paycoins (14% the total coin supply) to eat through GAW's buy wall of ~$34 million.
In 5 years there will be 12.8 billion paycoins so dumping 1.4m paycoins would only be ~0.015% of the total coin supply. To dump 14% of the total coin supply (1.8b) at $20/coin would require a $35 billion buy wall.
Why does everyone here think the automatic thing is to dump? Isn't the whole "high-brow" point of BTC centered on building an ecosystem around it's use and adoption? So that a BTC is a BTC, and not just what it's value is today in USD?
You don't have a choice.
If you don't dump, your money is worth 1/1,000,000th it's original value every 10 years. (unless you perpetually fork over money for hashstakers)
Get rich quick schemes are a zero sum game. Everyone cannot win.
I'm sensing some irony here from you posting this on a bitcoin forum.
The difference is that BTC is a freely traded asset. Supply/demand have determined the value of Bitcoin. The CEO alone has determined the value of paycoin.
No, the CEO has determined the *initial* value of paycoin, and what he will value it via paybase. What the markets do and what people want to buy/sell/trade at is their business, and it will stabilize at some point after the initial panic sells and the dust clears.
What makes you think that XPY won't be a freely traded asset, btw?
Here's an example of what will happen:
Step 1: Investor spends $2.5m to acquire 125,000 paycoins to buy a prime node.
Step 2: After 2 years at 400% apr the investor now has 2,000,000 paycoins
Step 3: Investor thinks that turning $2.5m in to $40m is good enough. dumps $35m worth of paycoins. Scheme collapses.
The problem with this scheme is that the only real value is the promise of profit. Without the "guaranteed" price of $20/coin everything collapses.
There's a problem with your math. You cannot get a prime controller without the ability to stake 1% of all available coins. There will be no new prime controllers or changing of hands for at least the next 6 months. Depending on how many coins shake out of the POS tree, the prime controller owner is going to have to restake a good chunk of their newly minted coins in order to keep the controller. They can cash out some of the profit coins, but they can't ever call it quits. They either have to sell the controller, or let it expire and then try to cash out coins, tanking their profits with a sell wall.
There have to be buyers for your 2 million coins in your scenario. If it's all a scam and fraud... who is going to buy them?
