Leaving the office for 36 hours and a few updates

Authored by @silverstackeruk

Hello, LBIer's. Tis the season to be merry, not saying I live in a rough area but just bought an advent calendar and half the windows are boarded up. Heads up I'll be out of the office from around 8 hours after this post is uploaded until late AM on the 26th. Feel free to continue to send LEO for LBI's but be aware that you will get them on the 26th. Tomorrow's post will be a simple upload, 8-12 lines and a nice Christmas picture wishing everyone a good day. I was thinking to not post at all but then the "monthly author" achievement is calling and I dont wanna break our streak. I'll always find a reason, haha.

Over the next week

  • The first proper weeks earning and holding report will be uploaded on Saturday the 26th. The spreadsheet I am using is very basic as we are a fresh project so and you will be able to watch it evolve and grow over time. I think token holders are going to be happy enough with what we can earn in 1 week. We got a double payout on Saturday because LEO rewards are paid out every 23 hours. I never timed it like that to make our numbers look good for the 1st week, im not that smart but we'll take it and make it our benchmark for the next week.
  • The governance post will be uploaded next Thursday and will decide on a model to go with. I think going from feedback, most people were happy with what was suggested with a few asking to increase from 6 months to 12 months for the governance team cycles while keeping 6-month governance voting cycles where the top 5 proposals are voted on.

LeoDEX & hive-engine trading

I have noticed that the daily volume on the LBI token is always on the top 20 meaning a lot of tokens are being transferred and swapped between wallets. I see a few people buying LBI's and then flipping them over, nothing wrong with this and it's nice to see people are spending there HIVEp to get involved. I see the people that are doing the flipping are returning to buy larger amounts of LBI so i would put a guess out there and say they converted the HIVEp they got into LEO and everyone wins. More LEO being bought adding to demand, more LEO be powered up by LBI and the arbitrageur's increase's their holding.

Sorry for the broken record but...

LBI is only 17 days old and we've issued a massive 177,442.669 LBI tokens at the time of writing. We've powered up more than 178k and that LEO is as good as gone in terms of it being tradable. We'll hit 200k soon. I believe!!

I see a few people asking about 1/, the LBI hard cap and 2/ when we will stop issuing tokens.

1/ There were 1 million LBI's created so max hard cap is 1 million. Be aware that 80% of the final hard cap for LBI will consist of 80% sold tokens and 20% content team rewards. So, in our case, the max amount we can convert to LEO by selling them is 800k. With most people having already filled their bags with big LBI buys, i can safely predict we will not issue another 550k LBI tokens.

2/ Simple, when people stop buying them directly from @lbi-token. A rough ballpark figure would be when leoDEX/hive-engine trading volumes overtake direct sales. Of course, we will give it 2 last pushes to maximize the amount of token we issue. We could offer up a limited amount on the exchanges for HIVEp for maybe 1 week are something and as a last LEO grab, exchange LBI's for wLEO for another week before hard capping. This is all months away so there's no rush at all right now. The LBI issuing price will remain at 1 LEO until at least February and then we'll see what happens.

Good news is I see a lot of token holders putting in direct buys everyday almost like buying LBI's has become a part of their daily/weekly routine. Nothing wrong with saving a cut of the LEO earnings, good strategy as little and often soon adds up to something big and expensive. If this is the case and we can issue a decent amount every day, maybe we never stop issuing them. If the demand for LBI remains as it is now, we would continue issuing them until all 800k are gone. Might take a few years all the same.

Teaser

Here's a look at how our LEO earnings are coming in this week so far. We can see that curation rewards have taken over content rewards as predicted. As we continue to add LEO POWER to the LBI wallet, curation will continue to increase.

The curation earnings are becoming really impressive ... and totally expected that they would take over the content earnings. But, I'm still baffled by the amount tokens that is issued so far.

I knew from day 1 we would issue 175k token in just over 2 weeks, lol.

If you'd asked me 3 weeks back, i would have said we might be at 70k by now best case, im still blown away as well.

If I have to make a guess ... I would say, at least 2 weeks from now until we go over 200K

With the account size, the curation is outpacing earning.

Keep in mind that the curation payouts are a week behind. We are upvoting now with a much greater amount than a week ago.

The payout for each curation upvote is larger than what we are being paid on now.

That's a great thing that we have accomplished this so soon after the start. And, that makes me very curious to the curation earnings from next week ...

Buying LBI certainly became a daily routine for me. As long as you don't grow tired of sending me these LBI tokes I won't grow tired of sending you my LEO ;-)

Merry Christmas to you and the team - enjoy the holidays!

We are glad this is forming as a basis of how people are approaching LBI.

It will help to keep the issuing of the tokens open. As long as there are steady buyers, we will foster the growth of the project.

Merry Christmas :)
I think people will keep buying LBI directly everyday from their daily LEO earnings , so 800k isn't actually too far in my view.

Could happen, remember SBI units on STEEM. They were able to sell thousands everyday. I know its not the same thing but it's possible

Happy Christmas

That would be incredible but I think rather difficult to pull off.

There are not enough rewards on a daily basis to end up with that.

That said, we already saw the expected total surpassed so we shall see.

Tens of thousands of LEO could keep flowing in each week for months. If that is the case, we will keep watching it grow.

Well once the payout starts , many people might convert some Hive to LEO just to get LBI too .
According to me , once payout starts a lot of people will start posting about it ( like APR and stuff ) which can bring even more people .

That is very true. We will see how it all unfolds. For the moment, I dont think there are enough wallets.

We need to see at least 250 wallets holding LBI and adding to it.

That said, if there are a couple thousand LBI sold each day, we will likely see it kept open and it grows.

Either way, fun times ahead.

Is there anyway for us to know in how many wallets LBI is currently present?

It is wonderful to see people setting goals for LBI.

This shows they are serious about the project and growing their stake.

If someone is willing to sell below the 1.0 price, then you can scalp some for a reduced price.

I dont know why people do that but at times they do.

I must check but have to do some maths on it first to see if there are any deals going. I don't understand people selling now either, especially when things are only getting started.

I currently only have one liquid LEO and as soon as I get to at least 10 I will buy 10 LBI tokens.
For now I placed an order on LeoDex to buy at least 10 LBI right away.
I think buying will be LBI will be a routine of mine soon.
Thanks for the news and Merry Christmas :)

I'm waiting for 200.000; at least 190K+ before 2021, let's see if it happens or not 😎

Merry Christmas ^^

It will be tight. We will see how the last week of the year goes.

Over 180,000 in there now so we will see if we have a big week.

200K by the start of 2021 would be amazing.
