[ANN] OneSingleCoin - a cryptocurrency that has just one circulating coin

[mscott42]

The website

https://onesinglecoin.com/

The rules

Each time someone buys the OneSingleCoin, its price goes up by 20%.
The buyer gets the ability to broadcast a message - it could be an ad or something else.
The seller receives the price minus 8% which gets equally distributed among all the previous owners.
The rules are written in form of an ethereum smart contract. The code is verified on etherscan: https://etherscan.io/address/0x6103281b7d1f7862d692fda42dc06ece61a40547#code

The value for the owner

The buyer can publish any message when purchasing. This message is immortalized in blockchain and published on the website.

Since OneSingleCoin is getting media coverage on crypto resources, the website is visited by a lot of people from the crypto industry. Therefore it's a good place to advertise a crypto-related project. For instance, an ICO.

The goals

The primary goal of OneSingleCoin is to become a cryptocurrency with the biggest price. UPD: the goal achieved on June 22, 2018.

The next goal is to reach $1 million per OneSingleCoin by the end of 2020. Because some coin has to do it after all.

Good projects, which greatly solve and save related employment costs, also help employees get new labor opportunities.

 Good luck guys.

how exactly your coins will grows up?
which technology you will implement in this process?
and what you will do, when your token will not be in demand?

Sounds interesting but is it possible that their could be a time and price someone else might not want to buy it for probably not been able to sell it forward? just a thought.

Yeah you're right, is it possible that this situation could happen? We understand the lower the supply the higher the demand and this can reflect on the price but just one circulating coin? 🤔🤔🤔

Update

Sure. When the price is this low, it's a shame not to buy it.

The primary goal has been achieved

As of now OneSingleCoin is a cryptocurrency with the biggest price in the market (≈ $8972 a coin). Sorry, BitCoin.

One of the past holders with text based message checking in. Can't believe it was your project that compelled me to finally register after years of lurking this forum.

Can you please clarify how to post an image in the message? Does an imgur link automatically show up as a picture. I was hoping to add a picture message but was fomo'ing hard and wanted to buy while it was still within my affordability.

Side note: It will be interesting to see how long the purchase chain continues. If successful, it might turn into a game of whales.

I shared this project with few friends and most of them considered this a ponzi scheme. To be honest it does fit the textbook definition of a ponzi scheme except the buyer is not tricked into buying for a guaranteed ROI. The buyer knows well that he will not get his 1.12x ETH if there are no new buyers. However the buyer does get to advertise a message to the world which is fascinating.

I was also fascinated by how the calculation favours the most recent buyer. For example, it would take approx 70 hodlers for the price to reach 1million dollars assuming ETH price does not fluctuate much. At that point the most recent buyer who is taking on the the most risk has a potential reward 120k (20% - 8% = 12%) from the next purchase. All the previous hodler do not get much of a reward at that point (8% of 1 million = $80,000 ---> approx $1142 reward to past 70 holders). Even the cumulative rewards for any of the past hodlers does not add up to 120k when the price reaches 1 million dollars. Therefore the most recent buyer takes on the biggest risk but has the potential to get the biggest reward compared to past hodlers.

What will be the endgame for the very last buyer? Is he screwed? Is there any chance for him to recover his ETH. Its all fun and games for participants until it comes to that stage.

Good project and going very well to upward direction. Best of luck for dev

1 coin > 1 btc. looks like scam

[gongolongo]

I whipped up the following spreadsheet to see how much do each one of the past hodlers make in total based on where the chain ends:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I7MBUx5zpiH2F-8aDZqpvOtE7hLJ5LOW8NYXqf_g5VU/edit?usp=sharing


One can easily see that even if the chain ends at the 72nd hodler who would pay 2791ETH (~$1.329 million at current ETH prices at the time of this post), majority of the original hodlers would have cumulatively made less than 15ETH (~$7150 at current ETH prices at the time of this post).


Please only change cell B1 to playaround, but if somebody messes up the spreadsheet, then here is a read-only version:

The main value the buyer gets is the ability to publish a message when purchasing. So one should consider putting a message which he will get some benefits from. An ad is an obvious choice since the project is getting good media coverage. You can see that a lot of previous owners have already advertised their projects.
