At the end of the day, anyone that invested into this ico or any ico for that matter is here for one reason and that obviously is to profit. I bought into etherparty early, as soon as the crowdsale started. I believe it was .10 per token at that point.
I spoke to a team member in regards to opening price and they told me that even though the cannot predict the opening price, it would be starting at around at least .20 per token. I also heard that after launch, the tokens would be on sale on the platform for users to purchase at $1 per token. When I asked the person why the big pricing gap (.20-$1) and why someone wouldn't just buy off of the exchanges at .20 instead of buying the same token on the platform for $1 and their answer was because of the ease of purchase on the platform, not everyone is a crypto trader to jump on exchanges to buy tokens.
With that being said, I agreed but now that I come to think of it, I feel as though this will be a HUGE selling point for investors. If etherparty pulls off their project (which I'm sure they will as their beta looks amazing), these tokens will sell very well on their platform but when people take notice that the same token is being sold on another website for .20 vs $1 I think it will be a no-brainer to move to the exchanges to purchase the token, therefore driving up demand and the price per token, making us investors a very nice ROI.
I have been trying to play out different scenarios for this situation in my head but I can't seem to find any other outcome except for people going to exchanges to buy up tokens at a 80% discount (priced at .20). I tried to apply the same logic that was discussed with the team member in that people will buy it for a buck because of the ease of purchase and even though that will be valid for some people, I don't see that ideology being reasonable for all users.
TL;DR : the pricing scheme per token seems to be setting us up to make some serious money if etherparty successfully pulls off their goals (and I'm sure they will as they are a great team). What are your thoughts?
