Don’t dig yourself into a hole there fren. You don’t seem to understand AMPL correctly. Your % does not change with someone selling. If they sell, those tokens are not burned just somewhere else. That means the total does not change and your % doesn’t change either.

However, for the geyser yes if people pull out of the pool then your % of the staking rewards will increase.

dude I am telling you this for your own good, you do NOT understand how AMPL works.

it’s just a regular-ass commodity cryptocurrency like BTC, only with a variable denominator to fool rubes into thinking they are buying something else.

It’s a lot of sound and fury to achieve absolutely nothing. It is not stable, the only way it will preserve value is if the market continues to value the entire market cap at higher than it has before, for absolutely no reason.

The ‘liquidity’ rewards are just another layer of indirection layered on top to get people to buy their useless bags. The team will be selling directly into this artificial demand. Think for a moment, they could easily create this dex liquidity themselves if they wanted.

And if they provided all liquidity like you apparently wish, then it would be even more of a scam...this way they create community and decentralization. The price is currently high because there's high demand. The closer it gets to $1, more demand will meet it, because it provides daily compounded value.

The variable denominator as you put it is a novel finance mechanism that hasn't been executed before. You may not believe it will work but it isn't a trick or some meaningless flare. Its genuinely interesting which is why people much smarter than you have invested in it and shown interest.

The Geyser and liquidity program are a two-fold purposed program.

First it is a price discovery mechanism which cannot just be decided by a central group. This will determine the actual demand for the stablecoin.

Secondly it is a marketing program. There's nothing wrong with this. People need to learn about and become investors in this on a decentralized basis for it to ultimately succeed.

The team will likely sell some. Developers should get paid. Don't be dumb.

>>20158837

you're investing in a stablecoin. You dont expect to make money off of a price increase (which is what causes impermanent loss).

You'll be making uniswap fees whenever anyone does a trade so your balance of ETH AND AMPL will both rise gradually (AMPL rising more in raw quantity but not really in value long term)

If ETH rockets off you'd suffer impermanent loss there but it is ironically really stable around $200.

That said if you'd invested in this 6 days ago youd have returns of 20% or so and be on your way to higher geyser multipliers.

There's still 75 days to go so you can still hit the maximum multiplier for it.

>> No.20159187

>>20159112

Expecting to hold rebases and profit long term is more risky and assumes a very large demand. Ampl will eventually be worth a dollar so if demand begins to drop you could end up paying more for your $1 coins than $1.

If 10% rebases are consistent during thr whole course of the geyser then obviously that compounding will be much more than you'd gain by getting uniswap fees and the geyser, but that isn't likely. That would give a MCAP in the trillions. I think its more likely that the price and therefore the rebase amount gradually and slowly decreases the closer to the end of the geyser we get, till its eventually near a $1 and rebases stop happening.

The safest and most surefire way to achieve a reasonable position in AMPL and to make some additional returns is to participate in the geyser and just hold. If you pay for 1k AMPL now and MCAP of AMPL is 10x its current level when the price stabliziaes at $1 you will have 5k worth of AMPL and you will have made fees and geyser payments that whole time as well still.

>> No.20159214

>>20159187

Sorry this is incorrect actually, my bad. If you have it in the liquidity pool your AMPL will be roughly worth whatever you initially placed in the liquidity pool, so yea you'll miss out on the MCAP appreciation except that your geyser rewards will still be affected by that.

Here is how this scam will go down. Uniswap liquidity pooling has a risk of token imbalance. Shitcoin teams will reward pooling liquidity because a) you have to buy some shitcoin b) you have to match it with eth. So what they do is when there is enough pooled they sell a metric shitton of tokens to Uniswap which dumps the price and continues to whittle down the ETH side of the liquidity pool, eventually draining it to 0, leaving you with metric shittons of a shitcoin. So lets say you pool 10 eth and 1000 shitcoins, after the dump you will have .0001 ETH and millions of shitcoins.
