RE: SPS cost-benefit metrics after one month of daily downloads

in #steemtalk • 3 months ago

Actually, companies do "stock buy backs" all the time, which is functionally the same thing.

But in this post, I'm not advocating for or against burning. Just tracking some metrics that relate to the SPS. I started this data collection before anyone was actively talking about burning SPS funds.

    Yes but with a stock buy back, the stock can be sold later. The stock is not destroyed. Buybacks often are performed to prevent hostile takeover.
