Have you tried using another browser? I have heard that some people have problems with ether delta if they are using google chrome although personally I have never had any problems with ether delta using google chrome. Just a thought. 

Let's be crystal clear:

Less supply = higher price.

We all understand that.

The fundamental question is: what makes PPT so desirable over Fiat?

Both PPT and Fiat holders can invest in invoices, can they not?

Again, you don't need PPT to invest in invoices. You can simply invest Fiat.

People answer with, "Because PPT is priced higher than the dollar, giving you more buying power".

Okay, but the price is higher because people are speculating that it's going to go higher in the future.

THAT'S THE DEFINITION OF A BUBBLE.

It was the same with the housing crash of 2008.

People were buying homes, not because they wanted to live in them, but because they assumed the homes would go up in value.

Now look at PPT: are you buying the PPT token because you assume it's going to go up in value? Or is there some kind of intrinsic benefit to holding it?

Remember, you don't need the token to invest in invoices.

That plan only works assuming the demand for PPT remains high.

For example, if they are burning a token that isn't needed to use the platform, then why would the price go up?

Scarcity only matters if the thing that's scarce has value.

Hi BTCBusinessConsult.

It's been made clear in the whitepaper (page. 18) and in dozens of videos that you don't need PPT to access the platform.

Whenever I bring this up to people, they say, "But you know Populous is going to buy back the PPT tokens so they're going to increase in value".

They don't realize that the buyback program only increases the price of PPT if there's a demand for it.

And there won't be a huge demand if big whales can simply invest using Bitcoin or Fiat.

I've been asking on Twitter, YouTube, Slack, and this forum, and the only response I get is, "You're just trying to spread FUD".

Getting an answer shouldn't be this complicated. It makes me think that nobody TRULY understands how the platform works.

Bingo! For the record I'm heavily invested in PPT and want it to succeed. If you listen to Cliff/Steve video and start at 55 min and listen for 6 min, Steve only talks about PPT holders doing the invoice buying and the fiat pool used at a financial backup support to cover the PPT holders' invoices they are buying. He said he expects demand for PPT to go way up due to the buyback and for the demand to do invoice factoring. The white paper does say though if u put 1 fiat in you get 1 poken in the platform. We are definitely missing something....do PPT holders get first rights to the invoices before fiat buyers are needed, are fiat buyers only participating in the "buy" of invoices by being the pool of funds backing up PPT holders and making a small return (.5% monthly i.e.) while PPT holders make the 4% like the example they've given us? Both of those scenarios would indeed increase demand and the cost per token. But, if u can simply buy invoices with fiat just like PPT holders then it's different. If that's the case, then are there enough invoices for all of us (PPT holders and fiat) to go around?  I don't know... It would be great to have concrete answers but I get no responses from anyone either.

It's not a good indication that they want to burn PPT.
That means that fiat can definitely buy invoices. Otherwise you would never burn PPT.
Their reluctance to answer this is an indication that there is no answer.

Another bad indication is that they misspelled "Receivables" on the main screenshot of the alpha. Right below that, it's spelled correctly several times. How did they not correct and fix that? Sloppy!

Nice catch BTCBusinessConsult.

If that's the way it works, you've summed it up quite nicely.

Perhaps you should be on the marketing team for Populous

Thanks to u and Clif! Nice work! Now it makes sense why it will skyrocket!!!

Booya Smitty!!!

Welcome!
You ain't be disappointed.
