Interesting project, so the inflation and deflation is automated and the rate is dictated by transaction volume? Pretty smart.
Isn't this susceptible to automated trading? Buy when supply high - sell when supply low as the price will be dictated mainly by the token supply mechanics.
Do you have any prediction on how long it takes for one "contraction" to execute?
Yes, it is susceptible to automated trading. Are you an algo trader? You may take a look into $PRIA airdrop system. You can set up automated strategies to arbitrage the airdrop. The duration of time for one contraction to execute is mostly dependent of the volume. More volume there is, faster the burning. After two weeks from its launch, $PRIA has burned from 100k supply to almost 84k. All this with daily volumes between 50k to 2 mil. So, my estimation, based on this, is that $PRIA can reach the minimum supply of the first turn in about 2-3 months from now.
