Hello, this token is assert backed token. How is it possible that it has considerably lost value? I always thought that the token price in real estate backed tokens will be connected to real estate prices. Am I wrong?
Hi!
In general you are right, REA token idea is to be backed by real estate investments. Consequently, price should not fall below a certain level. Nevertheless, the final price is always decided by the market itself (just like in any other market scenario) and upredicted situations can happen as people sometimes act irrational.
Despite all of that, currently REA tokens are not yet backed by real estate investments. Main focus is put on platform development, which is in line with presented roadmap on Realisto channel - pleasse refer to:

What is more I would not care much about price at this moment. Current trading volume of REA is rather small. As a result it is very hard to talk about any stable price. It should change considerably with plartform launch - which, should happen as early as Q2 2018

The project has gathered capital in BTC, ETH. Has the team already spent it to buy some real estate? Were crypto funds converted into fiat? It seems that crypto volatility can have a great influence on the project.

Long story short, currently Realisto's focus is on platform development, which should finish with the end of Q1 2018 (very soon). Consequently, to fund this goal part of obtained Ether was converted to fiat (as far as I remember it was when ETH was around 1150$ per single unit). So far market volatility hasn't had much impact on Realisto plans and roadmap

Thanks.
How does the 18 decimal points figure in?
I was considering this in market cap when I mentioned there are less coins than bitcoin. Meaning the market cap would need to be nowhere near bitcoins to have a good ROI.
Hell, XP had a 400 milion dollar market cap at one point. If REA had a 100 million market cap then the 3 million coins would be worth 33 dollars a piece. Sheesh.
I just meant that if you want to compare "number of coins" between two currencies you should compare the "smallest unit possible" - i.e. you should take into account what is the Max. Coin Cap of a particular currency and its decimal point to calculate how many of those smallest units can be into circulation.
When it comes to ROI, you are totally right. Single REA token can reach really nice price values, without Realisto reaching high market cap (although I personally think it might do that as well

)
Regards!
