RE: Pocket today: new confirmer bot, markets, discord server
Thanks for mentioning the Discord server!
@pocketbook and I have been thinking about asking people to answer a consensus poll about the price for POCKET they would be willing to pay. The winner between the three following choices would be the price tag we would both put on the POCKET we would be willing to sell.
- 1 SBD = 20,000 (based on some transactions on an auction held by @mattclarke)
- 1 SBD = 15,000 (based on @pocketbook's actual selling price)
- 1 SBD = 10,000 (based on a simpler form both @baus85 and I like for a starting set value)
I will probably post about it next Wednesday after my current reverse-auction will have ended.
Yeah, I've seen bits of this discussion. I will respectfully decline to vote in your poll, though I think I see your reasons for talking about it. I'm skeptical of any attempt to "decide" on a price for a commodity that has a fixed supply. But I see that for people interested in buying in, a fixed price would be convenient. Best of luck!
I totally understand. To tell the truth, I am split myself between thinking the ''invisible hand of the free market'' will eventually & naturally pull the price toward a specific range, and the idea that maybe we must push POCKET into a certain direction or else it will never really go anywhere if nobody ever takes the lead. By having 2, 3-4, 10, or maybe 20 people assessing a specific buying & selling price between themselves and to others, maybe we could finally spark the beginning of a reference price. Maybe it's because of the small amount of Steem or SBD for POCKET exchanges but at the moment, things seem too chaotic for POCKET transactions to have real significance. Maybe it's a question of being more patient or maybe it's a question of being more active, that seems to be the POCKET dilemma.
I know I'm not in a hurry personally to see POCKET with a price tag, but there have recently been more people starting to ask the question. The higher frequency of conversations surrounding the price seems to show that people are passionate about it and willing to turn it into an, even more, concrete of a tool.
