Why do so many think a high pos diff is such a big deal? I think it’s the only instrument TEK has against out of control inflation. Forget about the micro stakers. They are not the problem. Inflation is, if you look a little further down the road...
It's true - compounding interest always becomes a problem a little (up to a lot) further down the road for everybody that accumulates: for those that already have lots now it is already a problem, for others with less now it will become a problem a little later, and for those with very little it will become a problem quite a bit later, but it will definitely become a problem for all. Maybe reverse the interest so those with least stake highest % and let it slide lower as holdings become more and of course those with the most let them stake at a minimum %
That is about the most ridiculous suggestion I have heard to date. To combat that bit of socialism, larger holders would simply break their holding into a crap load of small holding. Brilliant.
While we do this, lets up the unemployment benefit, expand welfare, create universal healthcare, give out free cellphone to the poor, and pay for it all by taking that minimum stake from the folks with the largest TEK holding. We should have them shot too.
Why, sir, are you implying that Socialism doesn't work? That those who work and plan an save to accumulate wealth are WRONG?? How dare you!
Shit, I can't even type that with a straight face
I suspect whale holders will not waste time with managing myriad of micro wallets staking micro amounts compared to whale amounts in single wallets. Also I'm not suggesting work, plan and save is wrong - to the contrary, I'm suggesting to make it worthwhile for the micro guy, he a needs a boost. The whale is still going to roll around in all his TEK. Let me illustrate my point:
Micro guy has 100 TEK and he can stake let's say 40% after 30 days Whale has 1 000 000 and he may stake let's say 1% after 30 days
100 x 40% = 40 (140) 1 000 000 x 1% = 10 000 (1 010 000)
140 x 40% = 56 (196) 1 010 000 x 1% = 10 100 (1 020 100)
196 x 40% = 78.4 (274.4) 1 020 100 x 1% = 10 201 (1 030 301)
274.4 x 40% = 109.76 (384.16) 1 030 301 x 1% = 10 303.01 (1 040 604.01)
384.16 x 40% = 153.664 (537.824) 1 040 604.01 x 1% = 10 406.0401 (1 051 010.0501)
537.824 x 40% = 215.1296 (752.9536) 1 051 010.0501 x 1% = 10 510.1 (1 061 520.15)
As you can see the micro guy with the much needed 40% interest managed to get his 100 TEK up to 752.95 which is quite a nice figure for the micro guy - he feels empowered and ready to rock the boat.
As for the whale, look at his nice gain over 6 months - a whopping 61 520.15 The whale will not feel left behind with his gains at all, but best of all
NO runaway inflation to cripple TEK in the long run.
No all of us have 1mil in Tek , we are the middle class , stuck with the micro stakers , and the guy behind this have more than just getting ahead of the pack . They are many Pos coins now , what's if the point was to drive ppl away from this coin , from the dump going on , I would say quite a few already change ships!
So we are all on the same page. 1,000,000 sounds like a lot right? well... Mister middle class.... it represents a whopping 2 bitcoin. Which is about 800 bucks american. Yes, I am a whale, I have... more then a million. But am I middle class? Hmm. It seems to me, I don't smoke at 5 bucks a pack, I don't drink 5 buck Lattes, I brew my own beer, so the money I save buys alts. Between having some foresight, sacrificing and staking, I am where I am at. Tell me again why the cig smoking, latte drinking late comer should get the higher return?
I have said repeatedly, I AM OPEN TO A LOWER PERCENTAGE TO SAVE THE COIN. But not so some 90 cent investor can make headway on me. We take the hit across the board. All of us, or I am out. Believe me when I say you don't want me to dump. ( and I really don't want to.)
You mention a current dump? I must have missed it. We have been holding a pretty steady 200 Sat. Not great, and certainly not the 4000+ sat we realized before the Crapsy incident. Our late comers did not have to suffer though the 900% devaluation. Any chance they want to donate to us less fortunate? Why at Zero, they are WAY ahead of me for sure!
So that dumb idea behind us, any more suggestions? Lets keep it somewhat intellectual or do we need to change the coin name to O'BumerTEK?
