Hi,
What happens with coin burning? Im guessing it will decrease the total available but not sure
I read this could be happening with TRX (Tronix)
Could this push its value up?
Yes it would push the value up as the available supply decreases.
Here's an excerpt that I have found regarding the fundamentals of coin burn :
Coin burn, otherwise known as proof of burn works in a simple and easily understandable manner. Coin miners send coins to a nonspendable address aka an eater address, effectively "burning" them. Coins cannot be accessed or spent again once they have been burned. Burned coins are recorded on the blockchain, and because of this, there is enough evidence that the coins cannot be utilized again.
The idea behind this whole concept is that coin burn signifies a user's willingness to make losses in the short term while he is expecting more investments in the future.
Users are rewarded over a long time through a mechanism that is put in place for proof of burn. The more coins that a user burns, the bigger the chance that he will have to mine the next block.
Coin burn (proof of burn) can be implemented in different unique ways; For example, the coin burned may be that of the user's native currency or that of an alternative currency. Your stake takes a downward dive over time when you burn coins. The urge to maintain a good odd of being selected for mining the next block is enough motivation to make you burn more coins over time.
Advantages of coin burn
1. It is quite a valid argument that a proof of burn protocol encourages a long-term involvement in a project because prices will gain a greater level of stability since there is a greater percentage of investors willing to invest in the long term.
2. Proof of burn encourages the fair distribution of cryptocurrency in a decentralized manner. This is contrasting to the proof of works methodology that is used in the likes of bitcoin, where we have seen the centralization of mining.
3. Proof of burn is an excellent way of seeding new currencies.
4. Coin Burn ensures fair play if the tokens or coins initially allocated for an ICO is not completely sold. By sending those coin to an unspendable public address, it makes sure that the company does not just have an unfair amount of surplus token which they can sell at an appreciated price when the coins hit the exchange. Basically free money for them.
