It seems to me that the success of this project lies very heavy on the speculators pushing the value up and keeping it up. GREAT, if the value of the project justifies the consistent and managed upward momentum, but come on, nothing is stopping a pump and dump from happening, lets say for example, from your competition who would love to create chaos for your customers who have to rely on some kind of stability of the coin.

Would a longer term contract signed by content creators and advertisers help?...and would they be willing to do so if pump and dump is done to you by your competition or anyone with a large stake on a regular basis?

what is to stop anyone from purchasing a large amount during the ICO just to control the price? Has already happened to many coins already.

Why not have a derivative coin / tokens tied to the US $  separate from the CDX just for this very reason?

the only other way I can see you preventing large swings is if you held a majority of tokens in order to flood the market or buyback your own tokens in a moments notice. This does not always work so well either.

Don't get me wrong, I like the project and might still invest, but tough questions need to be asked in order to make sure it is project that can be as strong as possible for all parties that want something like this to succeed.

How are you going to compensate for the volatility of your CDX token when it hits the markets? As a content creator the $$$ amount per token being paid out will no doubt fluctuate up and down from day to day.......worse for the advertisers, how can they determine the value of their ad revenue on a token that you have to admit.....cannot just keep going vertical forever.

Same here, not sure why?

I love PPT....I own PPT.....my only question is how does it compete with online companies like "Marketinvoice.com" ? from what I understand, they have a low 1 - 3 %  fee for invoice financing.....will the auction model bring this cost lower?

Thanks for the reply, I have full confidence in Reggie and his team, Reggie himself has expressed his desire to have the big boys ( soon to be irrelevant IMO ) list VERI, which in turn led to my questions as to why the need....understandably, this can only help, but not necessary.
 

Dumb question from a newbie

why would any Centralized exchange such as Bittrex allow trading for any Token from any DE-Centralized competition?

Yes it is...and really not that difficult to use, I have my Veri along with PPT  and honestly I prefer a DE-centralized exchange over the big boys....I was just wondering if it was Necessary to the success of these projects to be on an exchange that would provide more liquidity.

If ED is the one and only option ....then it would be important and viable to these projects to Market ED on their own sites and/or promote HOW to use ED to the average Joe investor....the site ED obviously needs more traffic.

I also have OAX ( DE-centralized exchange ) token on ED of which I can imagine will NEVER go beyond ED to get traded as well. Even though the talk from them is Bittrex  soon......hmmm...we shall see.

Is there a desperate need for Veri to be listed on higher traffic exchanges? 
Is it necessary for the survival of this project?   
If not, then why is there such concern for it not being listed?

Is there a need for massive liquidity in the future when a top 10 stock exchange is in play?    seems to be the same concern for Populous, my conspiracy theory brain has to wonder if their is a plan to try and kill Veri and PPL by keeping the liquidity down.....granted, I'm no expert, just speculating.
