CENTZ CROWDSALE - Billion dollar giftcard industry on the blockchain

[lil_jay890]

It is exactly correct what btswolf said.

Very roughly: 1000 usd = 1 BTC = 1000 centz tokens.  And 1 centz token gives you 1 A share of the centz company --> Since there are 100 million A shares in total the centz company would be valued at 100 million USD - pre-product and without any users.

Everyone should judge these numbers by themselves but it is very rare for a seed investment valuation to exceed 10 million, see for example https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/19/what-reset-both-seed-and-late-stage-valuations-just-hit-record-levels-says-new-report/

b) dividends in the form of token drop from revenues of Centz operations

The pdf btswolf quoted states that the dividend is 10% of the revenue of the centz business until the equity is dropped onto centz token holders when the threshold is reached, yet all centz token holders hold 16% of the whole centz business....

It wouldn't be a Crypto ICO if it didn't value itself at some obscene 8-9 figure valuation...

Most of the ICO's done on the bitshares platform have done this as well, leading to the constant downward pressure on nearly every UIA.  Basically anyone who bought into any UIA has lost money in both BTS terms and Dollar terms.  This is a huge reason, among several others, that the BTS token gets sold off hard on every single pump to lower highs.

Why would that effect the BTS token?
btw, it's always hard to call a valley, but I think it's time to take of your BTS depression glasses;)

And put on the rose colored ones that have caused so many here to lose tons of cash?  Maybe when this dog stops getting sold on every pump I'll think about it.  Maybe when almost every single UIA doesn't look like a downward ski slope.

Reason why it pushes the BTS price down.  UIA's are distributed to all these people... many of who just want to sell on the first pump.  Because of this, the pump is small but they still want out.  The try to dump the tokens for bts, then try to dump the BTS of btc.  Because there is a lack of new blood in BTS, and because most of the supporters here have nothing left to invest, there is no buy liquidity.  It can be seen in nearly every order book.

Sorry, but your explanation lacks an independent first reason that is not the same reason BTS would go down without the UIA tokens as well.

Lets try this again...

1. A third party creates a UIA in the BTS Ecosystem.... Lets call it SCAM.UIA
2. Third party promotes SCAM.UIA, saying it the key to decentralized, deregulated, liberty for all, fortunes
3. In order to get in on this wonderful investment, you need to send DOLLLARS or BITCOIN to this third party
4. The third party then sends you a whole bunch of shiny new SCAM.UIA tokens

So lets review what has happened so far.  The scammer has created a token out of thin air and sold it to you for real currency or bitcoin.  You are hoping that he will take that money and create something wonderfully profitable and then distribute the money back to you via buy back or dividends.

Unfortunately....

5.  Once the SCAM.UIA tokens are distributed, all the investors are locked into the BTS ecosystem.
6.  All these investors have lots of initial "paper" wealth. But SCAM.UIA's trading book is extremely thin.
7.  Some of the original SCAM.UIA buyers wanted to sell on the first pop, but the books are too thin
8.  The books are too thin because there is not enough BTS holders, who were not involved in SCAM.UIA's ICO, willing to buy SCAM.UIA on the open market
9.  Original investors start selling SCAM.UIA because there was no initial pop and barely any buy orders on the books.
10.  All of a sudden the trading book for SCAM.UIA is loaded with sells with hardly any buy orders.
11.  This leads to steady sell pressure on SCAM.UIA.  Many of these investors who are selling SCAM.UIA have no interest of being in the BTS ecosystem, holding BTS, or using the DEX.
12.  What are these uninterested investors who just received BTS for their SCAM.UIA going to do??? That's right! SELL THEIR NEWLY ACQUIRED BTS!
13.  What do they sell it for??? bitcoin, ethereum, or fiat.
14.  What does selling BTS for fiat do to the price of BTS?? Causes it to decline.

These 14 steps have happened with the majority of the UIA's issued on the BTS platform.  Unless a UIA creator starts making a profit and buys back bts on the open market with his fiat profit, he has in essence taken energy out of the system.  The UIA creators, especially the big ones that raise a ton of money, put an incredible amount of stress on the tiny amount of traders who use the DEX.  If the UIA is going to stay profitable the DEX traders need to provide buy support.  Problem is there is not enough traders with excess capital to provide this support.

It is exactly correct what btswolf said.
Furthermore 10% of the crowdfunding revenue is used to buy OBITS.WARRANT which will then be distributed to all investors on a first come first served basis, since only 4 million OBITS made available for this action, and both apptrade, centz and getgame investors all three projects have this special added value included.

It means that:

a) apart from equity in Centz,
b) dividends in the form of token drop from revenues of Centz operations
c) exit option at tier 1 rate being able to trade, when tier 2 level has been reached,
d) exit option from 2 CNTZ tokens to 1 GoldBuck to be used to buy giftcards,

you have additionally an option to buy a part of OpenLedger with the buying of OBITS at the price of 0,16 USD anytime in 2017 no matter the price at the time of execution. If you bought 1000 Centz you would receive as well 100 OBITS.WARRANT valid to be used in 2017 only.

I have put an amount of 500 000 OBITS.WARRANT up for sale at 0,10 as well, so that deseription is available on cryptofresh.com (this is for the ones not interested in buy into either of the above mentioned three projects.

How many class A shares will there be in total? Without that info there is no way to evaluate the offer.

https://ico.centz.net/assets/files/The%20Offer.pdf

16,000,000 Centz token represent 16% of total outstanding Class A shares
= 100,000,000 total Class A shares

I read that too. But since it wasn't part of the OP I didn't want to make that assumption. So can ronny confirm?
