If you do preliminary chainalysis on TIME token, you will see that wheals are trading TIME on HF. This goes against the whole (3,3) gaming theory. The more TIME traders we have the more volatility and selling pressure we will have. Traders make profits out of volatility, It is FACT. They are exploiting a bug called NO LOCKING! The big money are coming in just before the rebase and getting out after it. buying at the bottom and selling when the price go 1 point up.
The whole premise of TIME is holding and the more you hold the more profits and rewards you will get. So far that is not what is happing! The TIME is price is going down and the APY is going also down?!!! The APY fluctuate, I know but it show NOT go down when the price do, right? It should be the opposite. Unless, I did not get the memo. The less money in the protocol means people are selling and this is recorded on the blockchain on Avalanche that should trigger higher APY to reward holders and to incentive new buyer which in theory will increase the price. This is what should be happening, but the reality is different. WHY?
I have a proposals :
1. TIME should have rewarding locking mechanism set in place to block or at least reduce HF Traders in order to sustain and eventually push the price of TIME up.
The rewarding mechanism shouldn’t be complicated. We can introduce no trading window of 72 where you can not sell your TIME during this time. This will deter Traders form doing HF trading putting high selling pressure on TIME price.
2. Remaking of the APY and the rewarding mechanism for people who hold more than 30 days to incentive more people to lock their holding voluntarily. I think that no one will argue over the fact that if more people hold the price will go up!
3. Please if you don’t have something better to say here do not bash just to bash.
Thanks with love.
