Coin Sale Pricing at Bittrex
I’ve seen a lot of confusion about the coin sale pricing at the Bittrex sale page for Breakout Coin. In this post I hope to clear up much of that confusion. For the impatient, the bottom line is that the real price one actually pays at the sale is much less than it appears on the sale page. Please keep reading to understand why.
As I type this, it takes 0.8695652 BTC to buy 1 “BRK Share”. A lot of readers may ask “Is this the right price?” Actually, the answer to that is no, it’s not the price of Breakout Coin, it’s the price of something that Bittrex calls “BRK Shares”, and is their answer to the fact that we only have a limited number of coins for sale.
When you purchase BRK at the Bittrex coin sale, you buy a fraction of the total number of coins for sale, proportional to the size of your purchase. The price reported is not the price of a BRK, but a placeholder price (BRK Shares) that is used to calculate how many BRK you will receive when the sale is complete.
Currently the price of 1 BRK is 0.00019323 BTC, or 5175 BRK/BTC.
This latter number, 5175 BRK/BTC, represents the current 15% bonus applied to the BTC. This means that the BTC itself is multiplied by 1.15 and applied to the “floor price” of 4500 BRK/BTC (0.000222). The math is 4500 * 1.15 = 5175.
Although you can estimate how much BRK you will be credited with by using this conversion, your projected balance may decrease if the total funds received in the coin sale exceeds 1,472.79 BTC.
So, what happens when we sell less than 1,472.79 BTC of BRK (applying bonuses to the BTC)? In this case we have unsold BRK that will be provably destroyed by Bittrex, and the 1 BTC with 15% bonus applied bought 5175 BRK (1.15 * 4500).
On the other hand, if we sell more than 1,472.79 BTC of BRK, the price of BRK goes up.
A couple of examples are below for the ambitious. They may be difficult to follow, so only press on if you are really motivated to understand the math.
enjoy the sale.
