OBITS website sold the asset also as a long-term investment:
"4. OBITS tokens can be traded and used as a speculative instrument or as means of profiting from a long-term cryptocurrency investment."
But in spite of the monthly buybacks, the price just keeps going down. 11 months ago, a 10k BTS investment in OBITS would yield about 408 OBITS. If those OBITS would be sold today, they'd be worth about 7500 BTS. In USD, that was an investment of 33.6 USD that is worth today 27.3 USD. Every time there is a buyback, there is an increase of price, but that seems to be only temporary, and does not translate to a real value increase of the token as time goes by. The long term chart is very clear, although right now it doesn't get displayed in the webpage (using Linux, either Firefox or Chromium).
I understand that as a speculative instrument, if you buy and sell every month you can set yourself for a nice profit, but as a hold and wait this buyback system seems to be a terrible idea.
What was the voting result after all - the final numbers are messed up - and what is going to happen in the future?
