Look at the Ethereum, they told that ETH will be full pos on autumn 2017 and today is still mineable, why?
Because mining is the engine of the crypto
I don't agree with this because its the miners that are dumping their coins right now to get back what they put in for running costs mining the coin. POS will bring in the long term holders who won't be dumping their coins. DMD price has been stable which every coin wants and when future developments are released the price will slowly rise like I believe it will here with Solaris. What makes the price of a coin go up is when it actually has a use for using the coin and once this exchange is built and complete we should see the price slowly rise over the long term.
Yes, but "staking" is not a use. There are now too many "me too" coins adding staking of some sort. At some point, people will get tired of purchasing coins for no other purpose than "staking" that coin.
Yes I understand this as well however Solaris has a use for the coin so coins that do have a use will succeed while other POS coins that just rely on staking for rewards will not. The same could also be said with mining as what's the sense in mining a coin that has no use to it, I know some mine for quick profits and then leave but the coin won't succeed with no use, that goes for all coins out there. If people like what they see with the project, then they will invest in the coin and start staking. So I do understand where you are coming from and that is why I always say to people look for the coins with a solid future plan like we have here at Solaris.
