Sometimes I get kooky ideas, so let me run this by everyone. Also, please don't stop reading at the word "pre-mine".
New coin, rules, expectations:
- 100% premine of an arbitrary amount of coins.
- Issuer sells coins in large lumps on exchanges for very low prices, $.0001 for example.
- After 1 month of selling, all outstanding coins unsold are burned. The result is that the only coins in circulation are those that were purchased for the introductory price.
What happens to the value now?
By buying the coins in the first place, you are pledging to follow certain rules. The rules are these:
- A daily value target is known according to a set function. The value is set to rise from $.0001 to some price per coin over the course of 10 years. The function produces an S curve where the x-axis is time and the y-axis is dollar exchange rate. The upper limit of the curve is set at a target where the market cap of the coin in general is set to $1,000,000,000,000. If, for example, a million coins are sold in the initial offering, then a target price of $1,000,000 would be set at 10 years.
- Participants (buyers) pledge to buy, if possible, any coins below the daily target value and sell any coins above the daily target value.
- After 10 years, the daily target ceases to exist and the coin is free to float as Bitcoin does now.
What is the goal here?
2 goals. The first is to experiment to see if value can become a kind of self fulfilling prophecy, where most participants believe a large reward is within the realm of possibility, therefore they voluntarily behave according to the rules, knowing nearly everyone else is doing the same with the same goals in mind.
The second goal is for the initial participants to make a lot of money.
So... Any community interest in such a project?
