Here are a few reasons why EOS is a great token to own:
Earning Potential (profits): I have heard the analogy that owning EOS tokens is like owning real estate in the new decentralized internet. Each token represents bandwidth. And just like in real estate, you can choose to lease your tokens (bandwidth) for profit to others that require bandwidth on EOS. This means you can keep your tokens and still earn money holding them, separate from the price of the actual token. In other words, as EOS grows and users require more and more bandwidth, your tokens will produce rental income for you. This is landlording without the tenant headaches, ha!
Airdrops: New Dapps on the EOS platform will airdrop their individual tokens to EOS token holders instead of holding an ICO. This solves the legal problem of being issued a "security". This is brilliant! Dan Larimer probably has a legal team bigger than Donald Trump. It's not a guarantee that this will become the new standard. However, when Everipedia announced it's intentions to airdrop their IQ tokens to EOS token holders, they hinted that others would most likely follow. You really have to take a second to digest this information. The implications are massive. Is EOS attempting to change the entire standard for launching an ICO? Will the term ICO even apply anymore as these new Dapps choose to build on the EOS platform. I see a lot more "airdrops" coming!
Market Cap: The constant stream of airdrops and the leasing potential will provide motivation for investors to HOLD their EOS tokens. Therefore, the price of EOS could see a sharp incline after June 2018 as more interest develops in EOS and all 1 billion tokens have been released to the public. With no more new tokens (accept the 5% inflation or less) being "mined" on a daily basis. The value of each token will most definitely begin it's climb!
Let me take another stab at this:
Dan auctions off his EOS tokens for a period of 1 year. He raises over $1,000,000,000.00 (yup, that's a billion). He will then launch his EOS platform in June 2018. He has created partnerships with prominent Venture Capitalists across the globe to recruit Dapp developers. The VC's pony up their own funds alongside Dan's money. This stretches that billion to a lot more! Then, the new Dapps are built on the EOS platform which is owned by the EOS token holders. So EOS token holders will receive airdrops from the new Dapps as payment for services rendered. This is freaking amazing!
You can follow the money from your pocket, to Ethereum, to Dan, to the Venture Capitalist, to the developers, and right back into our pockets in the form of independent tokens from new Dapps. Wow!
I'm a Btcoin enthusiast first! But I may be an EOS enthusiast last!
