Snapup is certainly a cool project and will bring lots of benefits to Snapup users but what are the beneffits to ICO investors?Why should I invest in ico and not wait till Snapup platform is launched and buy snapcoins there and participate in snap?
GREAT QUESTION!
Snapcoin is in limited supply. 200.000.000 tokens in total, of which 100.000.000 will be distributed to the investors during the crowdsale, and the other half will be kept for the distribution to the public(check the whitepaper for the details)
The target audience for Snapup is the general public, who is not necessarily cryptocurrency savvy.
They are going to be the users of the application. Thanks to our mechanism, they don't even have to know it's a cryptocurrency to use it, look:
The price for joining an even is calculated as the EURO counterpart for the SNAPCOIN.
So for an Iphone that costs say 1000€, if we say Snapcoin has a market price of 0,33€, you would need 3030 SNP in total to CLOSE THE EVENT,
and if we set the max participants to the event to be 300 people, everyone would have to pay approximately 10SNP to join(3,30€)
Now, say that the value of snapcoin doubles. Since the participation cost is calculated as the EURO counterpart, with your snapcoin now you can join DOUBLE the amount of Snapups.
And how would the value of Snapcoin increase over time? There's generally 2 factors that influence the value of a cryptocurrency:
1 - Supply/Demand
2 - Market Cap
3 - It's Market
Let's start with the market:
Snapcoin have value because there's someone, Snapup, who will provide a service in exchange for Snapcoin.
If we buy Snapcoin back from the users(as we do) to close the events and assign the products, the value of Snapcoin can never go below what we as a company are willing to buy it back for.
Supply and demand:
Snapcoin is in limited supply. The more people would want to buy Snapcoin, the more their value is going to raise.
Market Cap:
The more people buy Snapcoin, the more the market cap is going to increase.
Being the supply a constant that can never increase, the value of Snapcoin can't help but go up the more people buy and sell them back to us in exchange for our services and we sell them back to new or recurring customers that put more money in the system! (Can you actually visualize it?)
Now, you can clearly see how this benefits you as an investor.
We will list Snapcoin on all the major exchanges to be traded on.
Furthermore, Since we will always be the largest Snapcoin buyers and sellers, we are planning to give investors the possibility to put their snapcoin up for sale in an "Investor Pool". Kinda like an "in app" Exchange; And grant them that 15% of the snapcoin sold daily will be taken by that pool.
We've blogged about this on medium also, check this out:
