That isn't a technical calculation. And I think your answers to a), b), and c) are all extremely ambiguous.
Where is the incentive for people to use their MintCoin for trade? It looks like anyone who sells MintCoin will be forgoing a 20% annual interest rate in the first year on that money??
Is it some sort of obligation to assume someone who asks valid questions not here to see crypto like this succeed? I'm trying to understand how others see it working in commerce, that's what's important for the adoption of a particular coin. I have three degrees. Two are masters in international business, and applied finance. I would like to encourage people who can discuss this at the appropriate level to add their views. I'm in for 12M MintCoin currently, I'm not swayed by short term gains I have no need for additional liquidity.
Why does it seem all the kids here are threatened by intellectual discourse?
I think to a point it doesn't matter, I view crypto currencies as the next/new stores of value for the digital age. Sure we will still have NYSE, Nike and Komatsu however. For the younger generations I suspect a digital asset of mathematical rarity will make as much sense as a company that makes shoes fairly well. Or more specifically I don't think a coin has to be widely traded to be of use. I think MINT could be a purely speculative investment that might really pay off regardless of if it finds much Utility.
The world seems hungry for Crypto, who knows what is going to happen next.
