that's great news!! Question, let's say I buy 10.000 ART at the ICO. Do I end up with 10.000 coins, or will I get a genesis adress that mines 10.000 coins over the period of 60 years?
You will get a Genesis address that mines 10.000 coins over the period of 60 years.
I can't believe anyone in their right mind would choose an investment that takes 60 years, in a market that's barely 10 years old. if there's no way to buy ART in bulk up front, like any other coin, what's the purpose of investing? Ask yourself, would you rather get 20K ART now, each valued at 1$, or 1ART a day over the next 20.000 days, with no guarantees that ART will even be worth 0.01$ within 1 year?
It's not important 1, 10 or 60 year. All investors are in the same conditions.
For example if we have 1 million tokens, 1 year and price 1$ after 1 month (total tokens 83k, market cap is 83k $),
then for 10 years period after 1 month we will have 10$ price (total tokens 8.3k, but market cap sure will be same 83k $ and price 10$ case in this case it's a rare token and low supply).
Just simple math.
Difference is only speed of price change cause inflation.
