Hi,
I've been reading about the strategy ICOs use for unsold tokens in case they do not reach their hard cap.
As far as I understand, there are a few options to be used for this scenario.
1) Unsold tokens are burned - the most common option used by ICOs. If tokens are burnt, token holders share will increase, therefore its price.
2) Unsold tokens are not burned - founders keep them. It's not a good option at the eyes of the token holders. It can be used as a personal interest.
3) Unsold tokens are airdropped - A few ICOs (eg. FundFantasy) used this strategy. As far as they see it, the token price will be decreased but will be readjusted because people will use it.
I'm not aware of any more alternatives to those three. What are your thoughts? Would you use option 1 or go for the other two options? Would you come up with another possibility?
Thank you very much.
option one seems very reasonable to do considering if you are protecting the investors who had invested in your ICO, by burning those unsold tokens, dumping will be prevented and also the demand for that token will increase and therefore price of it will go up too, but this will happen only if the team had a good marketing and people were really into it, the hype should live up to the demand and needs of the people to that project or product.
