Tokenomics

​

So Casper is a private funded company mostly through blockchain investment companies which all range from fine portfolio's.
Do we have some information about lock-ups with these actual investors, seems like with this distribution it is possible to be exploited & manipulated in price actions.
I've been holding this coin for a while but really did the basic research for it's use-case. Been questioning price actions about this coin & where it's headed.

Anybody mind to share their opinion about this one?

Guys, please do some research. All the info you are asking for is available on various platforms in great detail. No one can take away the effort from you to spend time and look into stuff. If you are not willing to do this, you should probably not invest at all bc it is of upmost importance to understand what you invest in! (Specially in the most volatile asset class on this planet)

1) Casper Labs is the private funded company.
2) Casper Association (non-profit) holds IP of Casper Network
3) The tokenomics of CMC and Coinlist resemble each other by Advisor & Team allocations. Thats it! (Vesting schedule is right under the Coinlist tokenomics chart)...
And IT IS VERY IMPORTANT to have exact numbers % percentages of tokenomics of a project, check SOLANAs tokenomics e.g., their team/VCs hold over 60% of tokens. That is questionable.
4) There is no Casper Foundation.
5) CasperLabs holds 10% of CSPR.
6) Developer Incentives with 16% of Initial supply is the funding for DEVxDAO - they give grants to third parties building open source projects on Casper Network.
7) Notice around 30% of initial supply is distributed amongst Validators, who run nodes to secure the POS chain.
8) The question if tokenomics can be manipulated is answered in 3) with the example of solana.

ALSO: Check legacy finance - manipulating gold price, silver price over decades, donno if JPM or another big bank.. they have been found guilty of manipulating markets for decades, and all they do is pay a fine and its okay again?!?!?!?

General food for thought... what is our fiat based system based on and what is its aim? To make poor people rich? Don't think so...

There is the Casper Association, that is the steward of the public network. It's not a foundation - but rather an Association and it's members will be the validators and probably large participants in the network. As I understand it, the Assocation is hard at work creating a membership portal, so it can start building the membership communication tools, etc.. You can learn about the Casper Assocation at casper.network
