This ^^

I hope that with the Crew system releasing that the Bytes demand will go up.

The value will change short term but the value won't really change long term.

The worth of the bytes are going to be down for a little bit but then raise back up.

Yeah, they will. This should just be a short-term thing. :)

When everyone spends their 10k/100k bytes on the crew game the value gonna shoot back up.

Yeah Im not worried. Infact, I would probably pay the same rates if I were buying bytes today.

I didn't even know that you can sell your bytes.

But yeah, obviously, people are going to shit posting 😑

RE: Possible side effects of Bytes Bonus Day? - Shelob - Oct 21, 2018

who cares about value goes down for now, it will rise again later

I don't think they'll drop below 0.01$ tbh.

People can post maybe 60 times an hour. 6$ an hour for the poor users right there!

The Bytes value will go down obviously, but the activity will increase drastically.

The 10 bytes is insane. Cant believe omni did it to be honest.

RE: Possible side effects of Bytes Bonus Day? - Omniscient - Oct 21, 2018

Many gamble their Bytes away in slots or blackjack. And so let's say that there has been an extra 4000 posts in the past 10 hours since I implemented this. That represents an extra 20,000-30,000 Bytes into the market. Hardly a massive sum when you consider we have 2 million Bytes in circulation.

Quote:There will be a lot of shitposting in the lounge side of the forum, but I'm sure most people will save their bytes for something else other than money at this point. :)


Sure, we'll get some extra Lounge posting but I'm seeing other forum activity too. And I do think a lot of members will save their Bytes as they are realizing that we have plans beyond gambling games.

btw, I'll end this by the end of today. So it's short-lived and just temporary.

Thanks for the clarification. Best get your bytes in quickly guys!

Bytes is definitely going to be the next big thing!

Very good points... I didn't realize there were already 2 million bytes in circulation thats insane!

I cannot wait for the upcoming plans with bytes. They do certainly seem promising.
