Re <<Casper >> Re Casper, recommend below programming on "why Casper? " Re the yield of Casper (as opposed to the absurd ETH), the designed-in tokenomics yield, is fixed by protocol to be between 8-24% per annum, a variable rate minute by minute, depending on how many coins are staked with validators to secure the network transactions vs how many are floating on the exchanges (higher the former, lower the yield, and vis versa) The market knows the protocol in all its detailing, and takes the yield / inflation into account, as the protocol is very extremely transparent, together with transactions on the blockchain network. The users of the network pays $, Yen, Yuan, Euro, Swiss Franc, ... to buy the Casper tokens in order to use to pay the validators ('gas fee') to validate the smart contract NFT, etc etc and etc Casper should never ever ramp like ETH did and might still do. I would be surprised if Casper touches $1.00 w/I the coming 60 months. Casper coin is a utility coin, that which makes a 'computer / software' (Casper network / blockchain) go go go. IOW, should one be launching a Microsoft Windows Office Suite today, one might consider doing so on the Casper network. Now, critical part, how successful will Casper be attracting institutional users / adopters to the network to launch coming generation of apps for business, transaction, storage, etc etc etc, is the gamble I know of one project, where I through a friend, introduced an ex-client now in charge of a fortune-200 financial company to the folks backing Casper, and they together are working on a project to tee-up revolution in the chosen space. There are enough projects to make the pitch no a laughing matter, and especially when backed by IBM, signals something happening As folks who need to use the network increases due to its technical / first-mover features, Caspers are transacted on so far only a few exchanges, and as with currency of any domain, the pricing moves Inclusive of yields, my all-in cost of Casper hoard is ... hold a sec ... $0.0374, decreasing minute by minute as yield is earned and accumulated, as I had purchased coins at private sale circa 2020 March at 0.01, and 2021 March at 0.015, and later by public trading at prices ranging from 0.21 to 0.0245, plus yield accumulation generally ranging at ~10$ apy. Today, now, Casper is at coingecko.com Given the prospect, Casper might get to be one of top 10 coins, and should id graduate to #10 from current #87 (top left hand corner of above piccoingecko.com ... would have market cap of $11.6 billion. Casper at $11.6 billion, would mean (on say 13 billion coins outstanding by then) would attribute $ 0.89 per coin, a ~16X return even as APY remains at ~10%. Such an outcome would be quite anti-inflationary, mathematically speaking. As Casper is for use to energise smart contracts / NFTs, and is the institutional-grade competitor to the hobbyist chain that be Ethereum, say Casper reaches 1/10 of ETH value of this day coingecko.com ... or $25 billion, at 13 billion coins for Casper, an attributed value of $1.92, a 34X of the present Casper value. Can Casper do it? Who can know? Wager, must I and I must. So as far as I am concerning the knee-capping of Binance is good. The destruction of ETH is better. The grinding to powder of BTC is best. For most must fall so that a very few might rise. In any case, some infocnbc.com China has been quietly building a blockchain platform.
