As I said, we got your point, I even gave you exemples on Discord, now move on. We're all adult.
You didn't give me anything or anyone anything. The theme for this project seems to be (When you don't have an answer, say you already answered it)
explain how this analogy isn't true for Stipend
It's amazing that people are investing in a company without asking and getting a clearly detailed explanation of how a company they are investing in intends to become profitable. I could say today I am starting an airline and we will collect only 3% of what other airlines charge for tickets. And while that idea may sound great initially, in practice it is impossible because the operational cost are too high, it's the exact same with this project. It sounds great but in reality it can't function with it's current promises
You know nothing about their infrastructure and its cost so the number you're throwing out of your pants mean basically nothing. Since you don't know about their infrastructure and long / short term strategies, the operational cost you're talking about is hard to evaluate precisely, and you perfectly know it. You're saying it can't function and yet you proved nothing. This is demagogy and we're all tired of this. Your getting paranoid at this point.
I'm not throwing out a number, and it still doesn't work. That's the point I'm making. Now if I do throw in some numbers it is even more unrealistic. Most frequent freelancing gigs are less than $50 at 3% that's 1.50 per project. So even if they facilitate an astronomical number of 20k gigs at $50 on average per month. There monthly income is maxed at around 30k USD a month. When month to month operational cost would be well into the six figure range.
But here's the main issue, they aren't being paid in fiat they are being paid a 3% fee from a useless coin who's price is declining constantly. Which in reality spews out several more issues, for instance. lets say it's a bull market such as back in January. I do a gig for 500 coins that will take a month to complete, by the middle of that month the price of Stipend drops to half of what I originally charge, being someone who values their time, the person decides screw it I'm not completing this gig for half of what I initially valued my time at.
Or in the reverse, I pay someone the day before for a gig that will take a week and the price jumps multiple times instantly I cancel the gig to get back my coins and take profits.
These issues aren't even remotely addressed, where the UA, where's the policy on gigs? How can you force someone to complete a gig, even if you can return the coins the cancelattion rate will be so high people will just go back to a fiat platform.
These crucial and fundamental flaws in practice will kill this coin as soon as people realize how unprepared this business model is.
And that's not including the MASSIVE budget that would be required for marketing on an ongoing basis. Oh but the devs a marketing professional right, convenient. Yet your PR team didn't prep for obvious fundamental questions that were bound to arise.
