No need to speculate.
As KMD is pegged to BTCD by the rate of 50 KMD = 1 BTCD roughly, this gives an indication for the KMD price this minute: BTCD/50 = 0,004BTC/50 = 8k sats. With a total ammount of 100M KMD this results in a marketcap of roughly 8000 BTC or 6,24M USD.
Does this makes sense to you all?
It would make sense if KMD was actively being valued in terms of BTCD, but KMD is not on the radar of many traders yet and right now BTCD is low volume and the market really isn't determining a clear price for it.
What is clear right now is that buying BTCD and converting it to KMD later is a great deal, compared to the KMD ICO price.
And with buying BTCD now, you also get the extra REVS asset that Komodo Platform will be issuing. You just need your BTCD in a private wallet on the day that the snapshot is taken and they will give at least 7 days notice for that.
Here are the numbers that I broke down for everyone:
HThis is the only way to indirectly buy KMD right now. Once the swap begins on the Komodo ICO site, you will be able to swap 1 BTCD for 50.4488 KMD. Here are the current #s:
Current BTCD Price (Poloniex):
.00338 BTCD/BTC
Current BTC/BTCD rate: 295.86 : 1 (amount of BTCD that you get for 1 BTC)
KMD/BTCD swap rate:
50.4488 : 1 (amount of KMD you will get for 1 BTCD that you swap on ICO site)
KMD/BTC current rate:
14925.68 (amount of KMD you get for 1 BTC worth of BTCD at current price on Poloniex)
KMD/BTC ICO rate:
7746.522 : 1 (amount of KMD you got for 1 BTC at the end of ICO with no bonus)
Current extra KMD via BTCD:
+7179.158 KMD or
+92.68% extra (relative to ICO KMD/BTC rate at the end of ICO with no bonus)
So at current prices, you get nearly twice the amount of KMD that you would have at the end of the ICO.
The price could rise sharply from here to
.006512 BTCD/BTC and you would still get the same amount of KMD. per BTC spent, as during the final phase of the ICO.
Once you buy BTCD, be sure to move it to your personal wallet. BTCD is Proof of Stake so you will receive extra free BTCD due from automatic mining when you have it in your own wallet. And you also need it in your personal wallet before the KMD “snapshot” that will get you the extra REVS asset. Download BTCD wallet here:
