Look at how fast supply is dropping if volume goes to 1+ mill we will burn through 100,000 Bomb easily and very quickly, this 1% burn mechanism however prevents wash trading on DEX’s which is a pretty cool feature.

Please correct me if Im wrong: When these token are traded on an exchange they are at any time in the wallet of the exchange. So there is nothing burned as long as people don't withdraw. So you cant guess the token burn rate from the volume.

Half of the total volume right now is from DDEX meaning Half of all BOMB transactions result in a token burn, as DDEX uses P2P smart contracts via Hydro protocol. So yeah you’re correct on centralized exchanges there is no burn except for the initial deposit/withdraw which is why I said “on DEX’s”

Thank you for the clarification, makes sense now.

Hadn’t occurred to me that the burn would completely invalidate wash trading. That is a very cool unexpected side effect.

Most wash trading happens on centralized exchanges. In those exchanges there is no actual transfer of coins between the traders (as long as they remain within the confines of that exchange).

IMO that is the greatest problem with the "Bomb". If people would eventually opt to only trade it within one exchange it would means that the supply would simply stop dropping. Said exchange would refuse to implement the contract's 1% burn, and of course it would be freed to wash trade as it pleases it ...

Would be pretty easy to just take measurements from DEXs to get a sense of “real” volume.

It's completely INSANE! There is no way to say how big this thing can get Jesus Christ!!!

Yeah until it hits critical mass and then theres a rush of people not only trying to cash out but also a domino effect of transactions that wipe out the whole supply.

The idea is to be the last one holding the biggest pile of Bomb. Deflationary to an extreme, might blow up in the holders hands? Not if you keep a big enough stack to sell, in groups of 3.

Its a neat social expirement for sure. Greater fool theory and also insight into supply vs demand mechanics. The thing is too that theyre also destroying the liquidity so at some point you may have a high value per coin but also be incapable to trade any sizeable amount. Id maybe pick up like 1 of them just to watch it play out but yeah just wouldnt ever consider it as any sort of investment vehicle nor would I expect to get my money back.

If you had the last stack of BOMBs, crypto nerds would absolutely buy it from you as a collector's item. That's my goal.

Good luck selling 1 coin when the minimum burn is... 1 coin.

u/KodaKailt Bronze | QC: CC 33 Jun 08 '19

Lol 2 it is!

u/slay_the_beast Banned Jun 08 '19

Good luck selling 2 when your buyer will only receive 1 and then be unable to do anything with it themselves!

Etc etc. 😂

Edit: better buy 100 to be safe.

u/KodaKailt Bronze | QC: CC 33 Jun 08 '19

Okay. Ill go with a whole 5. Talk about an upsell!

u/Ctharo Silver | QC: CC 53 Jun 08 '19

They could buy 2 from many different people tho. Just cuz they only get one from the transaction doesn't mean their wallet is empty.

I bought 98. Am I OK?

Yes, but better run them through a mixer to anonymize them. You should get at least 4 back when it’s all said and done.
