RE: Why Economics MATTER in Cryptocurrencies: A Case Study
I think you should rather compare the ratio investor's coins/total coins.
For example lets say you bought 1 zch and 1 piv and there were total 100 coins of both of them (You have 1% in them) 2 months ago.
Today you will still have 1 zch but the total zch will be 127 which means you will have less than 1%.
The total pivs will be 101 and if you are staking you would have 1.01 piv which is still 1%. (You would have even more because not everyone is staking).
I think you should not compare the price to usd because tomorrow zcash can be 300% up.
With a 2.4% WEEKLY Inflation paid to Miners, ZCash can't go up a whole lot in fiat. It needs 2.4% new money every week to not go down (or just "hope" the miners are HODLers). PIVX doesn't need any new money to stay stable. That's the economics of a stable, owner run Currency.
I know that. I just think that if you compare them to usd you should calculate as if the market cap wasn't changed the last three months.
PIVX had a big jump I think about two months ago from average market cap $100 million to $200 million and now it's $180 million. Zcash had $600 million market cap and know it is $400 million.
If the market cap wasn't changed the difference would be a lot smaller.
In your example without the market cap increase you would still have $10K of pivx but you would have about $6K zcash. I think this is a better way to compare them.
Don't get me wrong, I love pivx and I'm all in it. I just think that your numbers are a bit misleading because of the market cap change.
