There is soooooooooo much more to FLY , you have no idea. But if I told you everything, then it doesnt keep it exciting now does it?

After observing Fly for a while from an economics and sustainability point of view, for the sake of the Fly community I hope there is more than the current price and profit model. It is not possible to have a model just based on profit - for every winner there must be a loser. The winners and losers does not necessarily have to happen at the same time but the respective cycles can be deferred. Currently the coin seems to be in the "winner cycle". There are winners as more people join, stick to the rules and people are willing to hold off from selling. The model will work as long as there are people willing to buy into Fly (stake or from the fund), which means that when the market gets saturated the community will have a problem as the losers cycle will kick in at that point. For now though there seems to be people willing to buy in order to get into a position to sell their stake. The mystery question is how big is the pool of willing buyers... and at which point will the market be saturated... For the model to keep working, coin management needs to find a way to either increase the pool of willing buyers and prolong the current cycle (possibly in perpetuity) or create a reason other than profit for people to want to buy the coin.
Hi Jc, thanks for your feedback. Its very clear you are versed in economics, and are very intelligent. I am glad to answer any questions you have. I will section your comments and respond if you dont mind:
I hope there is more than the current price and profit model.
If you simply look at the FLY code its simple and unexciting. Profit is a tiny portion of what fly is about. Have you read on the OP about "SuperFLY" and how it supports those on the bottom , and eliminates the "rich" at the top? Have you read about our "rescue missions" where we will help those devastated in crypto by financial loss? There is also "Team FLY" for the elite members of crypto. FLY has LITTLE to do with profit and everything to do with making crypto a better place. We are days away from launching SuperFLY. SuperFly is the heart of FLY. Its where the magic is. Its what allows Team FLY to make crypto a better place. There is much much more , but we are about 45 days old, and its too soon to reveal more.
The model will work as long as there are people willing to buy into Fly (stake or from the fund), which means that when the market gets saturated the community will have a problem as the losers cycle will kick in at that point.
FLY is self sustainable, it does NOT require new investors to sustain. IF it always required new investors, then its a Ponzi and its weak and will collapse. FLY can stand on its own without any more investors. The market will NOT get saturated as the top 15 hold almost 95% of the coins, and they are NOT selling.
The mystery question is how big is the pool of willing buyers... and at which point will the market be saturated.

The pool of buyers? Who cares, NOT needed, a non factor. FLY does NOT need buyers. Its self sustainable. Our vol is probably the lowest on Yobit and our price is only 2nd to LTC on Yobit.
For the model to keep working, coin management needs to find a way to either increase the pool of willing buyers and prolong the current cycle (possibly in perpetuity) or create a reason other than profit for people to want to buy the coin

Again.. why do we need buyers for FLY to stay alive? I think you believe that FLY works this way:
Private investors buy from me. I then fund the Superfly wallet and reward the investors on the bottom. Under this scenario, Fly WOULD always need new buyers as Superfly will quickly run out of funds.
This is NOT how SuperFLY operates. This is simply a ponzi, which fly is notHere is how SuperFLY REALLY works: The funding into the superFLY wallet comes from massive TX fees to the tune of 10% for each transaction. THIS funds the SuperFly wallet. This also discourages those from moving money around and sending it to the exchange. It rewards holders and stakers, and discourages sellers. So this is why Fly is self sustainable, because it does NOT require new investors , and will go on for years without even 1 new investor. However IF there is a private investor, the btc attained goes to create a buy wall on Yobit, holding the price even stronger.
I hope this clears up any confusion. Im glad to answer any more questions.
Thanks
