"Also why you sell in large number when later you have to reduce the supply?"
The total number of TKP tokens supply ONLY depends on the number of tokens that will be sold during tokens sale due to the formula:
[number of tokens sold / 0.65]
For example, if 10,000,000 TKP are sold during the public sale, then the total number of TKP tokens issued will be 15,384,615
We will not reduce or increase the supply of tokens because its number is a constant.
Thus, the more people will believe in the TOKPIE success the more tokens will be in circulation.
Could it be worthwhile to introduce some kind of restriction on the number of tokens to create an artificial deficit?
It's already there..
1. Subscription fees will be paid using TOKPIE tokens, causing a constant upward pressure on the TKP token, and a downward pressure on market supply.
2. TOKPIE counterbalances these two pressures by selling tokens, creating a downward pressure on its token
holdings and an upward pressure on market supply.
However, TOKPIE will be selling all incoming tokens with
the rate of 10% each month in order to avoiding oversupplying the market. So, for example, 100 tokens received
in July 2018 will be sold out (returned to the market) during the period August 2018 to May 2019 with
10 tokens sold each month.
3. During the four years after the token sale, token ownership will be decentralized through sales of the TOKPIE’s
reserves (see 5.3 section for details
https://tokpie.io/assets/downloads/tokpie_whitepaper.pdf).
The share of reserves is 21% of total token supply.
Reserves will be auto released by the smart-contract by equal parts every sixth month after TOKEN SALE according
to the following schedule:
On January 03, 2019 = 2.625% of total token supply
On July 05, 2019 = 2.625% of total token supply
On January 03, 2020 = 2.625% of total token supply
On July 04, 2020 = 2.625% of total token supply
On January 02, 2021 = 2.625% of total token supply
On July 04, 2021 = 2.625% of total token supply
On January 02, 2022 = 2.625% of total token supply
On July 04, 2022 = 2.625% of total token supply
The same scheme is applied to the Team pool, that represent 9.6% of total number of tokens issued. It will be placed on hold for 2 years and steadily released according to the schedule:
On January 03, 2019 = 2.4% of total token supply
On July 05, 2019 = 2.4% of total token supply
On January 03, 2020 = 2.4% of total token supply
On July 04, 2020 = 2.4% of total token supply
