Token economics

[covfefe_]

Most of the tokens have no real concept and are issued just for profit of the issuer or as a fundraiser for the startup. The value of tokens are entirely upto how the initial investors would be able to fool the new investors.

This is huge challenge as the smart people are still not involved to build the right economy of token

I have been going through dozens of ICO's with shitty token economics that makes nonsense sometimes.

What can drive or make the token economics better? What should  the business model have?

Just as for every coin to have a certain success the token has to have its real power and recognition, recently from Ether Delta they have allocated several types of tokens that have no use for the users besides simply pouring an absurd amount of money in the form of token.

But we do have some caveats in this environment, several good projects come out every day and their tokens just come out in the middle of so much junk.

I agree that there is a sense in holding an ICO. Some tokens produced are very necessary and useful. There are, of course, a lot of unnecessary coins, but such will remove the market. This is natural selection. Just before investing in ICO, you should first of all be interested not in the nearest profit opportunity, but in the quality of the project and the usefulness of the token.

What the business model should have is dependent on the ico companies. If they are sincere in themselves and after the ico campaign, they continue with their promises and people are not disappointed; then, they would have sent a better model.

ICOs are better if:

- They have a solid team and the devs know what they're doing.
- They have a good supportive community backing up the project.
- They want to raise a proper sum of money. A very big cap or a very small cap are not good.
- They have a good idea and will probably have real world usage.

Always do your research before investing.

Tokens serve only as speculative tools and very often 1-2 years after completion of the ICO become useless. If there were stocks instead of tokens, then the situation would be much better.

Yes they are speculative tools but believe me, they don't always become useless. Once a working product is developed and marketed, these tokens get really valuable, especially the ones that offer profit sharing dividends to holders.

It is a really hard choice to invest in, because even a very promising and innovative project can not get stuck in the market and lose everything.

[Philip Graham]

First of all you should always remember, ICOs are a high-risk way of fundraising. Never invest anything you can’t completely afford to lose. Keep in mind that due to a lack of regulation, you will have difficulty getting back your lost money in case of any failures.

The project economics and integration of the token into the product should be described in detail on the website and in WhitePaper. And it should be concrete and not abstract reasoning

Token should be fully integrated into the company structure. Investors should clearly understand why the token will gain value along with the success of this project.

Cant argue with your opinion. But I'm in doubt. I'n interested in Blockshow project, I trust them and was in Singapore last yeah at their conference..But they dont have WP..Is it a bad sign?

[martin1221]

Maybe before we go buy the coin in ico, make sure we have some research about it,  what are their plans, if they are trustworthy enough and how active they are,  and most of all, its a legit. Because right now, percentage of successful ico have been decrease.

[ClvrGmr]

You should do a deep research. A great way is to start in the team members and advisors. Mostly a great ico has a great team and advisors who have previous experiences to other successful ICOs. Other factors may give you insights but you must knos the team more than any other.

Actually token economics follow the conventional trend of economics. It's hard to understand because the supply and demand in this platform are modernized. one example is how exclusivity of tokens greatly affects how companies can profit from the entire crypto currencies. Thisng like this are emphasized in the token economy.

[Lerikaweb]

It is a simple startup. You invest money in an idea. When it is realized (if realized to be concrete), you'd get profit from its sales.  But ico differs from a real startup due to the fact you have no chance to get your money back if it scams.

I guess you've passed a lot of ico, as you say. and I think you have a lot of experience. so why would you ask, because you already have experience and knowledge. know it all depends on experience and knowledge to choose and get a good ico generate many benefits.

real world blockchain solutions to disrupt traditional business!
just like what Storj and SIA are proposing to do for example.

Dont forget our community is centered around decentralised
and unregulated blockchains, exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto
proposed with Bitcoin.

What goes hand in hand with the business model of a particular
project is adoption. without anyone using the proposed crypto
its not going to go anywhere.

I have mentioned it before but there is too much emphasis on
buying ico tokens purely to cash in once it goes live on an exchange.

What make a project successful long term isnt the price of the
token on coinmarketcap, its useage!

This is absolutely the nail on the head. You can have the most well thought out token economics, but if the idea of your business does not address a big enough market, or does not solve that problem an order of magnitude better than your competitors, then people won't want to use your solution. Token economics is actually simple. If there is money flowing into the system (people want to use your product/service) the price will trend up. If people don't want to the price will be completely at the hands of speculators and likely crash and burn.
