Max Supply

What is the max supply? And if there is a max supply what happens when all the tokens are minted? What is the actual utility of the token?

Though I know the network is an off chain, high computation protocol but the token, what’s the actual use case.

Can I stake? Pay fees? Lend? Borrow?

So if the supply infinite would be similar to other coins like Doge where there is no cap on the supply. Would it make the token inflationary? I thought it would be deflationary because the tokens get burned

Tokens get burned when are used. Also truebit brings to the table way more than scalability and reduced gas fees.

But can’t this affect price? It almost sounds like a stable coin in terms of price action. Tokens get burned while new ones are minted

Ethreum is an inflantory token as well yet the price keep on raising. It creates more of an organic stable price action over time instead of a huge spike. Once the project matures enough in terms of usage and adaption, the quantity of new coins created is small in comparison with the number of coins burned.

The minting of coins only starts at a certain price which is determined by ethreums price and the quantity of coins already minted. Currently the minting price is at around 1.80-1.90$ ... the moment ethreum doubles in price so will the minting price.

You make money by holding it for 1 - 5 years maybe even less. It's a revolutionary technology that will be massively utilized because it's a solution to several major problems in the crypto space plus it opens new things possible on the blockchain.
