Free card and also the 20% cashback seems like a noble idea. I'm on the edge, ready to invest but I need some answers to tip me over the line.
If the card is free and shipping is free, then who is really paying for the expenses of creating, maintaining and shipping the card?
Also, who is paying the 20% cashback? You can bet your house that the merchants are not paying 20% from each purchase to accept ZNX.
If it's coming from the team's / company's reserves then what do you think will happen to the value of ZNX if you give away 20% on every purchase? (as it's obvious that the cashback tokens will be dumped for profit / the circulating supply will raise fast so the value drops obviously)
Quick calculation here: Let's say you have 1 million customers like your goal is by the end of 2019.
If the Zantepay card gets a lot of usage, let's say each user pays $500 per month with Zantepay card.
Then each user will get $100 per month in cashback.
$100x 1 million people = $100 million in cashback to be paid every month.
In 12 months this is $1,2B paid out in cashback
So In case you reach your goal of 1 million users by end of 2019 and each person pays an average amount of $500 per month, you are looking at $1,2B to be paid out in a year.
How sustainable is this model?
How are you paying the cashback? Is the user getting cashback in ZNX?
If the ICO is raising ~$10M and your business model doesn't seem to have any cashflow generation, where is this money coming from?
Other than that the idea is obviously good and team looks like they know what they're doing.
I'm thinking of investing but I would need clarification on those issues - who's paying for the free cards, where does the cashback money come from and how sustainable is this model.
Also, I see the ICO is not available for US investors. Do you plan to make the zantepay card available for US users?
Good observation and absolutely well pointed out, i guess there are alot of uncleared statement in the information provided by the team that needs more clarification for better understanding, from what has been stated above, the cashback 20 percent seem a little bit vague in my opinion, when many users get to be using Zantepay card and cashback happens to run in millions who is going to foot all the money when both card and shipping is said to be free?
But it will also be very nice if this is really achievable, as it is, it sounds a little bit too good to be true
