Here is the deal. This board has helped me in the past, and I want to repay the kindness, since this is going to be very profitable for everyone involved at this point. Potentially also for someone who has helped me.

Ampleforth (AMPL) is aiming to be a new PRIMITIVE. So what is a primitive? A simple way to explain it, is that Ampleforth is trying to be a new primary medium of exchange. It's literally trying to IMPROVE money, by changing the mechanics of how the supply of the currency works. A money 2.0 if you will.

The thing is, MOST holders still don’t realize what they’ve actually stumbled upon here. Listen. This is seriously the next step in trying to create a better economic system, that potentially can enable prosperity for everyone. It sounds fucking crazy - and it is. You are literally watching history unfold at the moment.

Take a look at this:
https://youtu.be/9-uo-KfnkhI

Hayek was an Economics Nobel laureate, and the idea of an elastic supply comes from him. His idea couldn't really have been carried out, at the time when he was alive. That's also why he talks about it in such conceptual terms, because he just had an IDEA of how the system should work CONCEPTUALLY, not practically. Que the internet, que blockchain - and here we are.

If this experiment succeeds, it will be one of the most monumental things to have happened in the cryptocurrency space since the original Bitcoin white paper - and if we see wider adoption of crypto currencies - it will change money forever.

So there you go, nothing more, nothing less.

Nobody here really understands it, that much is obvious. I posted a thread asking what the benefit of having elastic supply was and the only replier was a retard just echoing buzzwords and never answering my question.

Here's the deal: it's a competitor to USDT. USDT is hard-locked to be a dollar, but Ampleforth price can fluxuate and increase or diminish supply as it is needed. This has benefits - mainly in price discovery, since early adopters as we rush towards a stable mcap will be rewarded. When USDT mints coins, all of it goes to the dev team for them to use. Increase in supply is entirely the dev's. For ampleforth, increase in supply benefits the holders.
So once we reach a stable mcap, growth will be very slow but steady upwards. The price discovery stage is where the money is to be had.

>> No.20679677

Here's why AMPL is classified as a ponzi:

If coin drops below a dollar the coin starts doing negative rebases.

So current holders of AMPL need people to keep buying in order for rebases to go in their favor.

Think of it as a person who gets money for recruiting other people into their MLM scam

USDT is correlates to the dollar. Ambleforth correlates to the 2019 dollar. It has broken away from being attached to the same valuation that other stablecoins are.

As I said, it is a new primitive.

Listen here. With any other normal fiat currency, you lose value if you hold it and it inflates. There is simply more of it - and the distribution is never readjusted.

This currency works in your favor, and redistributes the wealth, every time the currency inflates. Your value is stored. It is a store of value - yet because of the elasticity, it doesen't de-incentivize spending, like Bitcoin does.

You don't want to use Bitcoin EVER as a day-to-day currency, since it has a fixed supply. You want to hoard it - like gold. This is why Ampleforth is great. It literally solves the problem that Satoshi tried to solve.

Why would they dump it? If you are a seed round investor, first of all, I am assuming that you want the thing you are investing in to succeed. Secondly, I am pretty sure that it is common practice to make agreements on how these types of investors are allowed to sell-off their investments. It's not like 19% of the supply will be dumped on the market one Thursday afternoon.

If this project/experiment succeeds, they probably wouldn't sell everything - and the amount that would be sold, will be absorbed by the market.

It depends a lot on human psychology.

Bad wording on my part and mistake on the price lag concept. It's not even a price lag, it's just a daily readjustment of supply which does nothing but dangle keys in front of dumbass traders who think they can make a profit.

I think you have misunderstood something. Ambleforth is not aiming to be deflationary. Look. This is the literal definiton:

"In economics, deflation is a decrease in the general price level of goods and services. Deflation occurs when the inflation rate falls below 0%"

This does not describe AMPL. It describes Bitcoin, since it has a fixed supply. You cannot create more, Bitcoin can only be lost - it is directly the opposite of inflationary.

You are looking at Ambleforth as a volatile asset (which is currently is) - however, when the market cap has reached a sufficient size, the elasticity prevents it from being too volatile to be used as collateral. This is the goal.

It is not revolutionary, it does not change how deflationary/inflationary the coin is. It is irrelevant, it just makes the trading number more convenient.

What would happen, if you buy 100 AMPL today (and it is sitting at a stable price of 1 USD), and you wait for 20 years.

Let's say you also kept 100 physical US Dollars on the side during this time.

After 20 years, you compare the two portions relative values to the currencies they are in (The bills to USD and the AMPL to the total supply of AMPL, respectively).

100 AMPL will have the same relative worth to all other AMPL tokens. The currency has not been inflated.

100 US Dollars will not have the same relative value, because now, there is simply a higher supply of US dollars, because more has been printed during the 20 years. Your US Dollars have lost value, your AMPL has not.

It appreciates to 2$ each after 20 years.

I said, the worth of a currency is defined in relation to it's supply.

If the supply of a currency is increased, the value of a single unit of currency depreciates.

The supply of the US Dollar keeps increasing - the value of a single US dollar will keep depreciating.

The supply of AMPL keeps readjusting itself based on it's market cap. The value of a single AMPL token will fluctuate minimally, but will stay the same. It becomes a store of value because of this readjustment mechanism.

Gold bars are pretty fucking hard to divide into amounts that are suitable to pay for small things.

The answer is, that the supply of the fixed ERC20 token is never readjusted.

It is the only answer. But you are so dug in to your position (or you are so committed to trolling) that you are unwilling to acknowledge that a fixed supply != a readjusting supply.

What happens to a society that uses a da-to-day currency with a fixed supply? It fucking grinds to a halt, because no one is willing to spend anything. Everyone is incentivized to hoard, because their money will be worth more in the future. Worth more then it is now.

With a constantly readjusting supply, your 1 unit is ALWAYS going to be worth the same, which means that you are NOT incentivized to hoard. This is the important difference.

Calm down you fucking mong. Good to see we're getting to the bottom of it. An automatic stock split. That's all it is. There's nothing revolutionary about that, it's not more/less inflationary than a generic ERC token like OP suggests. Literally just a generic ERC token that has the convenient feature that its price is close to a dollar.

>look at BTC or ETH - it makes a terrible medium of exchange because the USD value fluctuates and since the rest of the world uses fiat

lol "terrible medium of exchange". No. Most people have calculators and internet, and the fact that the price of bitcoin and ethereum fluctuates is not an impediment. If that's the only value proposition that Ampleforth has then it doesn't really have much to stand on.

Nice that we're getting past all the garbage about it being a revolutionary inflation resistant currency and all that though.

There is literally no difference in incentive to hoard. Having 1000 tokens worth 1$ and 1 token worth 1000$ is entirely equivalent. You say that the appreciation of the fixed supply token encourages people to hoard, yet somehow the rebase and increasing number of tokens does not?

Incentives, from a rational/economic perspective are strictly the same. Any difference would be purely psychological.

It's literally not revolutionary because it doesn't have any major effect. It means the price stays closer to 1$ which is at best a minor boost for convenience but is not alone enough to give Ampleforth a valid claim to being a currency.

There is a rational/economic reason for this. The two scenarios are not equivalent. I can't give you 1 BTC or any fraction of a BTC in exchange for anything - I don't want to, because that whole BTC - or that fraction - might be worth more in the future.

I do however, want to give you 1 AMPL in exchange for something, because I know that it's relative value always will be the same.

They ARE the same.

A fraction of a BTC might be worth 10% more in the future

And I may have 10% more Ampleforth if I hold onto it.

They ARE equivalent. If you think they aren't you are wrong.

"I have 1 coin worth 1000. It might be worth 1100 in the future so I won't spend any"

"I have 1000 coins worth 1 each. I might have 1100 in the future so I won't spend any"

The difference is, that even if the coin is divisible the supply is still fixed. Because the supply is fixed it is a scarce resource. Because it is a scarce resource 1 unit or any fraction of a unit will be worth more in the future. Because of this I don't want to use it as a medium of exchange. We don't do this today either - because what I am talking about here is effectively gold.

Instead I want to use a medium, that I know will not increase in value in the future. Right now, we use money which can be inflated. Ampleforth is just a better fiat currency, since it can't be inflated.

LMAO. Delusion.

Stablecoins are (at least in theory, and in practice for the good ones) backed 1 to 1 by the US dollar. You buy stablecoins because you know that the value of what you buy will not change in US dollars.

Ampleforth does not have this property. If you buy 1000$ worth of Ampleforth today it could be worth $100 or $10,000 in a month.

It is obviously not free money, and "free money" depends strictly on more people buying into the scheme. If people start exiting then the value of your investment starts going down... like any other cryptocurrency.

So you never get more tokens, just risk losing tokens to a rebase if it drops below $1?

That's the simple way of thinking about it. If the price is over 1.06 then you will get a positive rebase. If the rebase is 5%, for instance, you would get a 5% increase of tokens, but the price will generally dip at least 5%. Sometimes less, sometimes more. The opposite happens when it goes below 0.94c, but the negative rebase is limited to 10% per day

So there hasn’t been a negative rebase yet then? Looking at the graph it’s been above $1 for quite some time now

There likely won't be negative rebases for some time. It will only happen if a large amount of people panic sell over a medium period of time at this point. Say, a day or so. I think most large sells are being absorbed at the moment, so you don't need to worry too much.

I saw someone dump 3 million dollars AMPL -> ETH in one transaction yesterday, and the price didn't move at all.

Just quickly read up on it, fill me anons if Im off.

You receive extra token to make you not sell as quick and prevent large sell offs and mitigate the high volatility that is crypto. High experimental

>Once this reaches a market cap where the elasticity has the intended effect, it becomes a currency that will be used as a medium of exchange WHILE also being a store of value. The idea is just absolutely genius.

The same applies to Bitcoin once the marketcap is big enough that the volatility decreases, and people begin to spend it since the biggest gains are behind them.

I don't see the point of this token.

The fuck? How does it disincentivize spending if you're hoarding it right now to reap a profit? That's the exact same as any hard-cap token or coin. What does incentivize spending is inflation, like the US dollar already has.

Is this token a joke to profit off of midwits?
