In the case of HYP I would like to buy some, stake and then sell. Maybe I'm completely missing the point here but all the talk is about 70% interest which, it seems to me, is subject to selling price of HYP.
So, I buy 1.0 HYP for .00001010. I stake according to time limits etc and end up with 1.7 HYP (max) which I then try to sell at todays price .00000715 (if I'm only selling 1.7 HYP and not 50,000 HYP) I get .00001216 and I'm up .00000206. About 20%.
If I wanted to sell 50000 HYP, I would be completely screwed.
I may be missing some esoteric knowledge here and I'd like to be educated. Help please.
Sorry, probably need to add that this is absolutely NOT any type of fud. Just trying to grasp how to make the most of an innovative experiment.
The most important think with HyperStake is to be realistic. Should you invest 100 BTC and then cash out in a week? No.
HYP, like most high rate PoS coins, has a shallower market. It doesn't do well to instantly buy or sell large volumes of the coin. But, I do want to point out that within the last 24 hours HYP had 2 dumps of 75k HYP and still withheld the exchange rate fairly well. But the best way is to buy or sell over a period of time, feed the market slowly with buys or with sells. This is beneficial both for the market and for the trader who will get a better price.
And also the rate is 750% annually which comes out to about 18.5% after 9 days (its time to maturity).
Its important to note that even though exchange rate could go down, the value of your holdings can still increase. So if you were to buy 1,000 HYP @ 800 sats and then after 9 days you get your stake and have a total of 1,185 HYP. The exchange rate could go down all the way to 675 sats and you still break even... But that is only your reward of one stake cycle. You will be faced with a choice to sell all the HYP, sell the stake reward, or to compound it all.
HYP has rewarded most of the coin holders fairly well for their ability to maintain our block chain.
But the main point of HyperStake is not to make people get rich... it is a coin that is an experiment in coin economics, and also one that gives the mining rewards to those that have coin age rather than hash rate.
