I just started the process of creating a new Steemit account with the purpose in mind of providing different services that would be solely paid in POCKET tokens.
One of the possibility is to give a upvote to those future users.
So, in order to ''test the market'', I've decided to dedicate this post to this very idea of POCKET for a upvote.
I'm not sure yet how I would be giving power to this new Steemit account, whether it would be through delegation or investing new Steem on the platform, but what I know for sure is that my account is now sitting on a bit more than 1,000 undelegated Steem Power and that, this is a perfect number for a testing ground.
The goal is to learn if people are generally interested in this kind of POCKET for upvote offer.
Here is the deal with today's post
- Send a specific amount of POCKET through this command as the first thing in your comment:
pocketsend:<amount>@heroic15397,
- Follow its last comma character by a space or by starting a new line and by adding the link to the post or comment you wish to be upvoted by me.
- I reserve the right to refuse to upvote plagiarized or any type of offensive material I do not wish my name to be associated with and to return back your POCKET.
- This offer is for a limited time. I will end it at my own discretion depending on the success of this enterprise.
Here is what you get in exchange for your POCKET
- At the moment of typing these lines, is close to being back at 100% (https://steemd.com/@heroic15397).
- Taking a look at Username: on Steem Now (https://www.steemnow.com/), you'll notice that a 100% upvote is worth $0.10 in return, 90% equals $0.09, 80% = $0.08 ... and a 10% gives $0.01.
- According to the POCKET/BitShares market (the most active market for POCKET it seems) on OpenLedger DEX (https://bitshares.openledger.info/market/POCKET_BTS), the lowest sell offer for POCKET is now at 0.00044 BTS and the highest buy order is at 0.00013 BTS.
- And considering it has been bought a couple of times somewhere between 0.002 BTS and 0.009 BTS during the last month, that some people are even selling some as high as 0.047 BTS, 0.125 BTS & 0.5 BTS, and as a middle ground between the 0.00013 BTS & 0.00044 BTS current best offers, I consider the target of 0.0002 BTS to be a fair and simple price to aim for in our POCKET for upvote transactions.
- At the current price of approximately $0.05 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitshares/), 1 BTS = 5,000 POCKET (0.0002 BTS = 1 POCKET), and with the price of STEEM being close to $1.00 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/), it means it takes 20 BitShares to make 1 Steem.
- Finally getting down to it, all those calculations have convinced me that I should charge the following prices:
