Does supply matter to you?

[vs2014]

In fact, a project enters the crypto market with a different token supply. So how important is more or less supply to you? What do you think if there is more supply the token price of the project may be lower. But you should know that a project becomes stronger with more supply and now there are many top altcoins that have more supply.

I don't care how many billions of tokens the total supply of a project is, I only care about a few issues:

• How many % of tokens are in circulation?
• What is the market capitalization of token?
• How many % of tokens does the project team and partners hold?
• What is the plan to unlock and burn tokens?
• Tokenomics: use case of tokens.

Total supply is just a number, and we have seen many projects burn 99% of total supply but the capitalization is still just under $100K. Don't be distracted by unimportant things.

Yea, if I don't actually notice a token or coin during its early stage of ICO and perhaps I get to see the coin after it's newly listed on an exchange, the first few things I will check about the project are the team that constituted the project, the road map of the project, and the total coin supply. I will also check how much was raised in their ICO if they actually did one.

In my opinion, taking note of the total supply of a token is very important because a lesser supply may likely be limited if there is a high rate of demand, which can cause the price to pump and gain more value. Although some projects can actually have a very large supply, the token will still have good value in the market. For example, Doge Coin has an infinity supply, but the price is still better than some other altcoins that have a billion total supply.

The amount of supply an altcoin has is actually not that important in my opinion. But what must be taken into consideration is whether there is circulating supply and what percentage of the total and max supply is in circulation. The method of vesting and distribution is also very important. So the most important thing is the governance itself and the time period required for distribution or vesting.

So whether a lot or a little supply is actually not that much of a problem.

A little bit I'd say. I agree that it is not the most important thing to decide whether you should buy or sell a token though. I have some tokens with more than 2 billion supply, but the circulation is pretty low until probably 3 years later. Which means any price action can swing the price wildly. Depending on how you utilize that opportunity, you can make more money from trading them compared to a 1 billion supply coin that has 99% of its supply circulating on the market.

But you should know that a project becomes stronger with more supply and now there are many top altcoins that have more supply.

Why do you say so? Which project are you referring to? I don't recall seeing any new projects that have ridiculous supply being significantly favored by the market.

The equation is simple, as both supply and demand constitute the price, and the supply side can be manipulated, but the demand cannot. If the cryptocurrency manipulates the supply, know that it is a scam, as it is possible by burning or pumping an amount of supply, the price rises or falls, but in the long run, the curve is Bearish, for the price to grow correctly, demand must be growing, and for demand to occur, there must be something special in this currency, as there are more than 2 million cryptocurrencies.

Exactly true.. ETH has an unlimited supply, but it gained trust because Vitalik has better potential than the average altcoin developer. We can see its price tends to rise even though the total supply is unlimited.

Lets see other coin , BNB has a limited total supply and regularly undergoes burning. However, in terms of price movement, everyone knows that ETH has shown better progress (another interesting fact is that BNB was born from ETH network) ...

Both altcoins are in the top 3 (excluding USDT because it's a widely used stablecoin), and they both provide concrete examples that total supply isn't a significant issue as long as developers can deliver something better to counteract client distrust. So the answer can be confidently stated that total supply needs to be balanced with a good business model or developer performance.

I say it doesn't matter on a bullrun because hype almost always wins during this period. It used to be a good selling point, together with the "no premine", but the pumps of XRP, Doge, and then the emergence meme tokens with billions of supply proved that it doesn't really matter to retail investors. Today, devs can issue any number then put up a buyback or burn plan and voila!

Higher supply tokens are prone to pump and dump due to it's cheaper prices but with limited supply coins prices will surge if someone will accumulate huge amount of it and you're not gonna worry about someone who will dump because the supply isn't that high.

Have you ever think for once why Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million and it's very scares? That's because the supply is very limited in number. With the principle of demand and supply, when a token is not much in supply, it creates more value because only few will be available and when people makes more demand for it, there is going to be an increase in the price.

Second instance is the meme coins, no matter how the meme coins are been pump, the hardly get the same value with coins with limited supply, they hardly make a $1 worth. In addition, when a coin is not many in supply, even the team don't have much with them and it creates value for the coin.

it's true, if a project has a small supply of tokens the token price is usually high, if the supply of tokens is large the price is usually low... but I think it depends on the project, they make the platform grow and can get lots of people using the project, that will create a token market volume This increases so the price also increases, even though the token supply is small but there is no development of the token, the price will be mediocre.

[JahriMeayer]

I think a project need to have decent amount of supply. Trillion of supplies makes me irritating. Although Supply actually doesn't matter at all. It depends on how about the project is. Project with small Supply and project with large amount of supply, both can be useless or useful, based on how potential they are. The difference is, small Supply based projects are costly, but big supply based project are less in price and most if people can afford to buy. That's all

As the supply of cryptocurrency decreases over time due to token burning and limited overall supply, the economic principle of supply and demand comes into play. With reduced supply and growing demand, the value of cryptocurrency may rise.

In my opinion, the supply of tokens or coins can still be a consideration when choosing coins. However, we also need to pay attention to other factors in the project. what about the conditions in the market, the circulating supply, the trading volume, the progress of the project, the solidity of the team to continue paying attention and developing the project. and also what about the demand. If the difference is very large, then you need to reconsider investing in coins like this. However, if supply and demand turn out to be quite ideal, then the potential for continued survival and upward progress will continue to exist.

Indeed, from the start of the project, supplies are usually limited or adjusted so that the predetermined price can be achieved.Later, after development is underway, supply will be increased gradually and according to needs.So clearly, you are right. A project with a small supply can get a high price, but everything is returned to the investor and also the developer. Can it run simultaneously because they need each other?So the supply must always be monitored and controlled properly so that it is in accordance with the planned objectives.
