Let me calculate this for all of you.
#dividendcare - On average you would get 0.07$ dividends per year per 1 icn, now you have:
For 100$ per 1 ICN == 1428 years of getting dividends -> when people from dash scam wake up and join us & platform launches
What you are calculating its not really relevant.
Lets say you have 100k ICN
That means you would've got an ~ 7.000 USD / year dividends for an initial investment of ~ 14.000 USD (give or take). That means you would've got your investment back in about 2 years, and after, the following years 7000 USD / year its quite something in many parts of the world.
With dividends you would have an "endless" income stream to use.
With burning coins, maybe the price of each ICN would get higher (its no guaranty about this), but in order for you to actually use those gains you would need to diminish your amount of ICN and in the end have none. So, if the project its a success you will be able top actually enjoy the gains only by getting out of the project.
Would it be economical to eventually cash out your ICN back to ETH, and then put everything onto the platform? Correct me if I am wrong, but you could essentially cash out 10X your initial investment, toss it onto the iconomi platform, and just bank off of those returns.
As I recall as well, the returns were something like 20% per month, in that ballpark, so lets say you take your $10,000 dollars you made from cashing out ICN, toss onto the platform, and every month receive about $2,000 in returns. That is better than any dividends.
(Please correct me if I am wrong about anything)
