clever

just not clear on why people would hold curecoin

for the previously purely altruistic protein folders, there is only incentive to sell

buying curecoin doesn't support protein folding or scientific research except in a stretch of the imagination that a higher priced curecoin helps donations (more selling)


please explain why this won't be worth 2 satoshis in a month
if it's worth only 2 satoshi nobody would fold because they wouldn't recoup their electricity costs

so yes, people have to buy the coin to support folding

In all honesty some of us will probably fold no matter what the value of the coin.  I'm not particularly concerned about whether I recover the cost of my hardware or my electricity.  Crypto was a gamble for me and I simply despise mining due to the wasted resources so if I make money great!  If I don't, I can live with it.  At least the work done to earn the coins meant something.

Yeah, I disagree with the idea that people will quit folding. I highly doubt every other team out there with folders is paying them to do it; people do it because they care.
