I'm wondering how the "5%" growth zone is being managed at this point in the game. Is the price being actively suppressed to keep it in this zone presently? This may be obvious to some, but is this an Annual growth rate? I and many other "early adopters" got on board thinking there may be some benefit from incurring this early stage risk, so I'm just wondering if this was some poor logic on my part... Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.
I think you are misunderstanding what BK calls "the economy". The Economy here is the number of transactions. The interest rate is linked to the transactions, not to a certain price. Of course the price of the coin is not independant from its usage, which is the number of transactions. Also, the effect of the interest rates on supply will probably not be big at this stage of the coin, but it is a really nice concept for the future. There is no way right now the NSF or the interest rates can surpress the price and this is not intended anyway.
