Personally, I want to hold on to my tokens until I see three-figure prices… underselling has never been an option for me.

ANT would need to get to around XRP’s current market cap to reach 3 figures (depending on circulating supply)… which if Autonomi is working well shouldn’t be that hard I guess give its potential functionality & value.
Reaching ETH’s current market cap with a supply of 1bn would equal $438 per ANT. That would be nice, though may take a few years unless Autonomi sees Facebook-like adoption way beyond the crypto crowds.
I want to hold a big chunk of my stash for the long term in case the 3 figures+ scenario happens. But I must sell some into early pumps so my holdings aren’t irresponsibly heavy in ANT

I wonder if super-whales will bring the price way up, almost like a Safe Exchange Coin esque scenario (I bought a car by investing like 40 dollars into that LOL). Hence why in my other post (in the wrong thread as I realized this morning), I said I would likely have fun day-trading during the TGE myself, despite the diamond hands for 10 years (which weren’t even diamond hands otherwise I’d have 2.85x more MAID). There are some crazy address amounts out there, and this event that people have explicitly been waiting 10 years for (i.e. exchanging promise token for network token) is about the best time to make the market mad. Would be harder to manipulate the long term growth after this event, though it’s certainly possible to long term decide when to buy and sell still (but that’s not manipulation).
Or they could be like me (not even a whale much, though many new ones could be created over the next years), and not know how to expertly rig anything. Which would make just regular people day trading and nothing Wolong-esque (from doge’s early days; a person who hardcore manipulated that and other markets).
Am I the only one to think that price of token has got nothing to do with the network’s functioning, at least in the short term? I believe markets are always forward looking. So, even if we manage to generate decent buzz, price should go up. Of course, it also depends on what exchanges the token will be traded on and how much liquidity we would have.

Hi guys
Just seen that ANT will be coming soon. How does this affect my emaid? Can I keep the emaid or do I have to swap it for ANT by a certain date?
Any advice? Im confused.
Thanks guys

Me brainstorming out loud. Based on just hype on this forum we’ve had 2 major price peaks, right? USD$ 1.40 in 2021 and $ 1.12 last summer. So I’d assume that with a bit of outsiders coming (and other exchanges) in, a price around 3 dollars would be reasonable. Has anyone compared it to Filecoins launch? I am not 100% sure about the details (200 million circulating at launch + 15 million that came available for trading)?

The conversion can be done any time after TGE, the instructions will be given.
To the best of my knowledge there is no cutoff date. Native token will be developed and we can even wait for the native token to replace the ERC20 ANT token for doing the conversion from (e)MAID.
The ERC20 ANT token is what will exist when TGE occurs and native will replace it when it has been developed. Both can be referred to as the network token (a utility token)

I think this is true. This would be possible without TGE given we already have a token that could be pumped with marketing efforts.
TGE and the live network adds utility to the the mix, as the live token will be able to be used to buy network resources, and people will be able to earn by providing resources.
While marketing with a low-functionality network could pump the price, I think the more functional the network, the forward-looking elements of the market will perceive greater future potential and this will be reflected in the short term price (lower sell pressure, greater buy pressure)
So, both marketing / hype and network functionality / utility will play into the token price short & long term, but functionality more important for the long term as hype alone would wear off.
I’m hoping for some hype, along with functionality worthy of that hype

IMHO there is (understandably) a lot of wishful thinking in the community about the value of the network and thus price. IMHO the apps which create an actual compelling use-case are key. Marketing and TGE will not create enough attention for the network/price to take off. So im my view, we won’t see any price hike in the near future as I also don’t see a big dev community yet. Right now, newbies are rather repelled by the CLI and lack of useful applications.
I am still pessimistic but I hope to stand corrected. Anyway I will not sell my stash below the market cap of filecoin. Right now, I see my MAID holdings more or less as a lottery ticket.

In terms of viable long-term token value, I agree these things are needed.
Hype can pump the price with low liquidity, but I don’t see much value in that.
I’m not as pessimistic as you because I’m confident that good apps and a growing dev community will come, rather than seeing it as low-probability.
When that will happen I don’t know, but hope mementum on the apps/devs builds nicely following TGE.

The price could collapse, who knows? After 18 years, there is like it or not a huge scepticism amongst the wider crypto community concerning this project.
Is the project in it’s currrent shape going to be persuasive to them?
It does feel like a lottery ticket right now but such is life.

In this plane in which we live, there is no coincidence, but causality…
I don’t agree with people who talk about bad luck…everything has a logic, a purpose…a reason…
Our dear token is not a lottery ticket…there is a lot of work, dedication, frustration, illumination, brilliance, darkness, joy, illusion, vision…with which I share the famous saying that says…
Honey was not made for the mouth of the donkey!!!

Just after a few promos go out Emaid gets a boost. Maybe more than just a coincidence.
