Valuing SEED
Over the past few days have been thinking about a proper way to value SEED in order to avoid giving late participants an unfair advantage vs early ones when fast increases in price happen.
The main problem is people buying the token for 1$ when the assets behind SEED escalated very fast to a higher value, which is something that will happen for sure when we start receiving allocations into Private sales.
Implications and Problems.
One 'problem' that you have to deal with when you participate in this kind of Private Sales is that sometimes (almost always if your allocation is high enough), your tokens are vested for a defined set of time (not all at once!).
For example, with the upcoming Game starter Sale, Only 20% of tokens are available at the beginning. The 80% remaining are being distributed on a quarterly basis.
This means that 100% of tokens are distributed over a period of a year and a half after the token sale.
Do you see the problem? How do we value SEED if a big chunk of its wealth is locked?
This is where we have to break down the token into 3 values:
Safe Value, Flex Value, Locked Value...
As a proof of concept, I'm throwing out these 3 values, which I'm explaining below:
Safe Value: The core of SEED when we talk about 'security, 100% of this value is composed of all the HBD allocated into the 'Savings' section of the @seed-treasury account.
Flex Value: This value comes from the aggregation of all the off-chain assets which are free from locks/vesting periods.
Locked Value: Opposite of 'flex' value, this is, off-chain assets with vesting periods ongoing.
As an example:
As a provisional measure...
And as a 'fair' way to value SEED upon the next weeks/months, the token price will be backed by the 100% of the Safe Value and the Flex Value, plus 1/3 of the Locked Value (never less than 1$).
Please note that the current 'Locked Value' is 0, so this isn't affecting yet. However, wanted to keep you updated regarding the matter.
That means once we win the first allocation/s, SEED price will be worth more than 1$.
Once that happens I will give you a 7 day notice to buy SEED at the base price of 1$ until I raise the base value. Also note that my intention is to avoid at all costs to lower that base value later, so I'll do my best to be fair with new buyers while protecting old ones.
More details on y next post which will probably be the first 'earnings' report.
Thank you everyone for the amazing support so far.
Any doubts/suggestions/thoughts? Keep in mind that I'm a single person managing this, and I'm by far not perfect, so don't hesitate to share your thoughts If you believe it can help to improve the project.
I'll keep you updated, as I already started participating on the first SHO (Strong Holder Offering). I don't know yet If I managed to get a spot :) Fingers crossed!
EDIT: We won. LFG!

@empoderat! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @d-zero.

Faster than expected! :O

Congratz! Hive is a strong community. Splinterlands is overloaded to a point of being a pain to play. It's just a start. Users are flocking. Some of that will translate to more funds for you to invest 😎💪🎆
Nevertheless, I prefer quality over quantity.
That's it, better 50 focused long-term and reliable investors/friends/hive OG's rather than thousands of moonboys.

Never too late. I'm buying every day, little by little.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see you're accumulating like an ant. Good job!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol, that's the only way, isn't it?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have the feeling hive will pump again :)
Cant buy now Seed :P I take the gamble to buy seed later for more than 1$ :)
You still have plenty of time to buy SEED around 1$ (at least 7-10$ days) as I'll be honouring at least a 7 days notice before upping the base price.
Feel free to keep counter trading me!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
haha :) 7-10 days time hive pump to 1$+ :)
I will only lose if hive falls massive! Challenge accept :P
HIVE at +1$ would be massive. I don't even remember how such a thing feels.
It feels like this:
Do you have an intro post about SEED? I'm interested in learning more
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Check my last posts or @seed-treasury from the beginning, as SEED it's still a work in progress, I'm giving new details and information every few days.
As a general idea, check this (in order):
1st post (introductory)
2ond post (more tokenomics)
3rd post (name revealed, next steps)
If you need to ask anything you'll easily reach me on the telegram group (link at the end of the post).
Thanks and have a good day.
Ah I might have to grab a few more SEED tokens once you put out the notice.

Thanks for being so transparent about the whole process. I have high hopes on this one!

Thanks for the support!

Always good to see your thoughts on the matter. There is a lot more to consider than just throwing a price out there and raising arbitrarily.
Keep the updates coming.

Best to do nothing rather than do and be forced to make a step back later.
thx for the support taskmaster ^^
Good points but whatever I send across I don't want to see for a good 5 years lol. I am glad you are raising these points now as they are important to understand and let everyone know.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
5 years? Omg, that's a commitment.
The key is to enjoy the journey, so I'll do my best to keep the communication flowing back and forth.
Also, this hasn't been announced yet, but expect me to raise my fee at some point (want to have the machine working first).
As a reminder, current fees are:
0% on the first 25% profits.
10% on the excess profit on top of that 25%.
More details later, yet nothing decided.
Feedback is always appreciated, hope you understand.
thx cryptoandcoffee :)

Yes I do understand and happy about that as you are going to earn it for us so need to be paid accordingly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thanks for 7 days notice.
I will like to have more "SEED" but do not want to send HBD every day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As long as you send round numbers, it isn't a problem to send every day.
Thanks again for your support.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Nice reflexion. The safe value could be as well labelled as "Liquid Value". We can even think in a future where this token is used in Defi ^_^
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I like 'liquid Value' :)
