Study Notes
Token Economics
- Token velocity is not an extrinsic factor affecting token exchange rates
- Token exchange rate is not controlled by adjusting token velocity
- Examining economic models is crucial before using them
- Models are tools; they are not guaranteed predictive instruments for real-world scenarios
- Economists who use incorrect units or equations should be dismissed
Contents
- Economics in general discussed
- Medium of Exchange Tokens assessed
- Utility Tokens examined
- Sanity checks are mentioned
- A review of BAT price stability is noted
Economics in General
- Economists who use imprecise definitions are often wrong
- Economists who rely on incorrect equations or fail dimensional analysis should be disregarded
- Economic models can be tools for understanding economies, but their predictive power is limited
Addressing "On Medium of Exchange Tokens"
- Vitalik Buterin's 2017 blog post is examined for its errors
- The equation MV = PT is mentioned, but the correct definitions and context to use it are critical
- The relationship of transaction volume to velocity and price and the units used is discussed
Sanity Checks
- The lack of self-consistent units or definitions in economic analyses can lead to erroneous conclusions
- Articles with meaningless language (like word salads) should generally be ignored
A Review of BAT Price Stability
- A model for virtual currency exchange rates is examined (von Oordt and Bolt, 2016)
- The model considers factors like payment utility, speculative regulation of supply, and adoption to virtual currencies
