Thanks guys!
So if I understand correctly, with that price (25KMD per DEX coin) the annual return would be about 0.001% at today's prices and volume. (Coinmarketcap has BarterDEX at $2600 volume last 24h)
BarterDEX would have to surpass around $12 million per day in volume before the return for holding a DEX coin would surpass the 5% return for KMD.
($12M) x (.15% x 50%) / (1M token supply) x (365 days) / ($62.5 price of DEX coin) = 5.26%
We've got a long way to go, but there is plenty of volume on the table. Over $15 billion has been traded during last 24h according to coinmarketcap. IDEX had over $11 million in volume.
The KMD 5% is inflation whereas the DEX payouts are earnings or revenue, and that is a huge difference. Don't get me wrong, the KMD inflation serves a great function during these bootstrapping years, but DEX assets pass the Warren Buffett investment test , invest in great business' that pay dividends but for some reason are hugely undervalued. Buffet doesn't understand crypto, but his dislike is based on the same reason he doesn't like gold; no earnings, no dividends.
DEX is probably the best asset in the cryptosphere, real income paid as dividends from a great service charging fair and reasonable fees, no inflation or smoke and mirrors tricks, it really does pass the Buffet test!
I agree and I'm interested in owning some. I just feel like today's price should be more like 5KMD instead of 25KMD. Then, of course if KMD gets more recognition, it will gain in value.
