Well, not really assuming, rather stated by you that this token is not intended to be traded for profit, only for donation. As for the matter if anyone will "cross" the line by trading it for profit, the possibility might be there, existed up to certain degree, but the reason for people not to will be significantly higher, just like other coins out there with little to no utility.

Yours has a benefit of being used for charity, but this purpose only served for a rather short time window, namely when someone being pushed by their impulse to donate up to when the token being traded by the charitable organization for fiat. This time window leave little to no chance of creating a fluctuation on price. Thus, the only chance that'll appeal trader to "cross" the line by trading the token is if this token somehow has a chance to get higher in value through depleted supply just by sitting through time, either by (like you said on paragraph 3) burning or sitting long terms on someone's wallet.

As for burning, you don't have this feature, so it's safe to say a scarcity through burning will not happen for your case. And for long time holding, let us back to the argument above that there's little to no reason for people to speculate that is profitable to hold your token for a long time, as mostly token being bought and sold in a short time window. This should lead us back to the question of "how", but let me rephrase that into "what factor does your coin has that could appeal traders to hold your token that will leads us to scarcity?"

(About paragraph 2), now you're saying that basically no scarcity? Because people can sell and rebuy token indefinitely? Would you please follow me back to previous page and trace where does this scarcity topic keep repeating? You're the first one that insisted that you understand the principle of economy that'll help increasing the value through rarity (scarcity, if we spoke in economic terms). I simply ask how, asking what steps do you take to increases demand, thus forcing scarcity?

This is the last time I will be answering this, as this conversation has gone on for closing in on two pages now.

Scarcity, is that of which it is hard to get something, therein lack of a large supply, correct?

Each day, around 300 coins are mined, most of which go to the pre-mine wallet as we do stake / have a masternode always running to gain ASPIRE to donate, but some of which goes into the hands of users, this amount is minimal, meaning, if people were to buy, they would have to demand more to get it, due to a lower supply. Some people would want to hold their ASPIRE due to its rarity.

This is not what we want, of course, but it is inevitable with anything like that, but it will be rare because of the fact people have to trade bitcoin for it, we do not give it away but minimal amounts in our bounties which aren't enough to really get rewards.

So, this practically means almost all ASPIRE will be donated, right? So where is the scarcity? Well, I just explained to you how scarcity in coins work, there both is and isn't. I explained to you that scarcity doesn't really exist because people can just buy and re-sell the coins indefinitely. But the scarcity is that there is less of it to go around and do that.

When I refer to the act of 'burning' .. this can just be coins being removed in total, it doesn't have to be from the supply, but from the coins in circulation. Such as coins being sent to a void address and being permanently removed, this would be accidentally only though, but over time it can stack up. http://fortune.com/2017/11/25/lost-bitcoins/

In the end, there will still be plenty of enough supply for it, but due to the nature of supply and demand, the coin will at least be higher valued. And people will still have to buy coins if they want, and some people may sell higher for that just because of the fact of the demand.

Luckily, unlike most traditional exchanges, we likely will have a cap on our buy and minimal sell order in the future. This is because the coin will of course always be buyable from our website so that anyone can easily have access to trade their cryptocurrency into ASPIRE to donate to charities, we want this price to be the same universally.

This may be contemplated in the future with community interests, but for now, that is the plan. If you once again do not feel this answered your question, I don't know what else to say, this to me is a helpful and valid answer which I have re-iterated a few times now. I hope the effort is noticed however!
