4,000,000,000 STEM Tokens Burned.

avatar

When the STEM token was created to reserve the name, the max supply was set to 5,000,000,000 which is a reasonable starting point while deciding on the inflation, distribution, and initial supply.

When I deciding on those numbers, I wanted to create fewer tokens yearly than most have. Most tribes are producing 1-2M+ tokens a year. STEM only produces a little over 840,000 tokens via inflation in the first year with a 3% reduction yearly. When factoring in the initial supply and 50 years of inflation there will only be around 52 million tokens available.

The 5 billion max supply was a safety net which I was happy to remove a large chunk of.

4,000,000,000 STEM tokens were burned and removed from the supply.

The current circulating supply is still around 3.5M tokens which mostly consists of the @nostem4u anti-abuse account (1M) and the sell wall (2M). (As stated previously, the @nostem4u stake will never hit the market or be sold OTC).

Wondering why the sell wall displayed on steem engine is 2 bil tokens instead of 1.

Ah, I have to stop reading your posts because I keep reading @nosfer4tu instead of @nostem4u. Pretty close, but not close at all. I hope there is a Nosferatu account out there. Here. I don't know what it would do, but I suppose it would not grow garlic.

What else, what else. Think I need more coffee.

Yeah, great idea you have there! Here. I mean with the stem and geeks and nosferatu.

Four billion tokens is a good burn. I guess the theoretical value just went up 5X, but let's see what happens. In any case, I'm much more comfortable with the long term prospects for STEM now.
