So it seems that Doge is actually fairly conservative in terms of the number of coins being produced - $3K a day is not much for a popular international currency, such an amount is very small compared to some of the other counterparts. And the percentage goes down over time since it's a constant, which is at 4.9% now rather than 5.25% initially at the end of the launch.

I think there's definitely demand for micro transactions, which are not that feasible with Bitcoin due to the high fees, and since Doge costs only 1 DOGE per transaction, with the additional benefit of being much faster than Bitcoin, is there any other currency better suited for this purpose? Perhaps Litecoin, but there's not much else out there with enough adoption and community support to be practical.

why such new coin as zcash is on the second place... its really so good or is it just hype?

High emission compared to low real world usage is bad.

Zcash is pretty much unused but its inflatition is super high which means nobody with a brain will hold it medium-long term. Ideally, inflation rate and demand for a coin should be roughly the same to have a stable price.

Also, the 4 year halving period made sense for Bitcoin because people didn't know anything about crypto back then so those periods gave people time to get interested, start mining, etc - and still do.

But now, 4 year per halving I think is way too slow for a new coin. Meaning, because of the long halving periods inflation will be super high for years to come and by the time it gets to an acceptable level for investors, Zcash might very well end up being abandoned tech.

re: Z

okay MATH alone just crushed any reason to HODL;  (60x inflation of the 2nd highest) = insane @ level batshit stuff
nevermind the 'pay the dev' coded in; cha-ching! or Kah-Cung!
_{yes .. i fully get it is a game to capture the base line MC by black chip players}

no sympathy for the victoms, how many variations of premine can we invent before the lesson is learn't?

at least it is a reprive from the ICO maddness (see premine=100%)

Producing 14,400,000 new coins a day or 5,200,000,000 a year is not conservative production of number of coins. The 3k a day is a function of low value.

Thank you for that. That is a really good piece of analysis.

I think this is wrong.  I did not go calculate it again. But I did 2 days ago and was half less so $55.000.

I think your mistake come from not taking accurate data that Monero block time is 2 minutes and not 1 minute as was a year ago.  Your sources did not updated it in a year time

Good point, I updated it.

I do this kind of analysis sometimes on a coin, so it is nice to see it in a table. Thanks!

It's really amazing to me what bitcoin or ETH market caps absorb in daily coin production.  But look at LTC.. over $50k.  That's 1/5th of eth, and I'd say there is less than 1/100th of the actual development interest in eth as in ltc.  Maybe that shows just how powerful the chinese traders/investors are in propping up LTC.  And then even random old coins like NVC are surprising... over $500/day added.  Good luck maybe somebody will buy something someday with NVC
