For companies to use Factom they have to buy entry credits.  Using entry credits burns factoids, reducing the supply, so once entry credit usage picks up the price should go up due to decreasing supply.  Note that after milestone 3 new factoids will start to be added to the supply, but the overall supply will still go down if the usage is high enough (what long term factoid investors are predicting).

Just a little correction - but it's not much of a difference in practise: Not using Entry Credits burns Factoids. It's a conversion from Factoids to Entry Credits once somebody needs/buys EC's - and the converted Factoids are out of the system - burned.

As example: Somebody gives me $10 because he wants EC's, I send Factoids for $10 to his EC-address. The Factoids are already burned and he can use the EC's whenever he wants. 

Regarding the supply: I believe that there always will be some inflation, because the market will always try to anticipate the future. Let's say there should be news that a big company will start to use Factom, or even just rumours, the market won't wait but already will drive the price up and maybe even anticipate more.

What I really like in Factom: The market can bet on the future and hype the price up or crash it down - customers don't need to care, since the price for EC's won't change.

If Bitcoin ever passes the 1k barrier for good and crypto projects start to actually get adopted by companies and used by real, average people I think we'll all be very wealthy no matter the project (well obscure and shitcoins will fail most likely...). Bitcoin at $2000, Factom at $50, Ethereum at $100, etc. And those are very conservative numbers at the start of the real bubble.

If crypto truly is the next new/hot thing and not just hype and vaporware, owning 2-3 BTC in both BTC and strong altcoins will most likely makes us rich and that's no hype, it's a fact(om).

It seems our dear speculators re going to perform another round of pump and dump. I missed this train, really hoped the price would break up to at least 35. Maybe Trump needs to invest into Factom next cause it seems Gates alone s not enough to convince the market.

Thanks man. Very informative. I've been hearing about factom for several weeks and still thinking to invest some.

Possibly greatest comment in a 300 page thread.
I do like the guy, it's just really funny though. He's always the badman around these parts.

The friction in the oyster is what makes the pearl.

Pump?

I dont see that. To tell u the truth, I do not even know what need to happen for FCT to pumps up again big time. Cause all great news seem to have no effect at all.

No one wants to let go of their precious BTC, many think it will pass 1k or whatever. It's just a pump and dump like any other altcoin experiences, Bitcoin is not immune. No real adoption or world usage, improved tech, good news, etc. Just some countries experiencing economic troubles and speculators going at it. It will go back to low 600s before the end of the year and settle around $650 (it would be another year of profit and growth though!)
