A token model where a tokens fixed maximum supply decreases to a predetermined amount over time.

As the fixed maximum supply enters circulation within the market over time. Generally accomplished via the buyback and burn of a small percentage of each transaction, therefore effectively removing it from circulation. This activity increases the value of the remaining tokens left in circulation. As demand rises, overall maximum token supply cannot. These token models are utilized in various ways and are frequently considered a store of value, similar to precious metals and or equated to digital gold. Some investors even consider them as safeguards against inflation. As token value should, in theory, rise over time as supply shrinks and demand grows.

An Example of this is: The Binance Coin (BNB) Token. Issued as an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum network. Having an initial maximum supply of 200 million tokens.

Both of whom use these preferred mediums to covertly spread “FUD” via mass misinformation about a project. The projects team members, promo a competitor project or as a method for peer-to-peer theft from a user.

Ask yourself. What does someone you do not know, have to say to you in private? That they cannot say in the community project’s open chat forum for all to read? Why the secrecy? Never send anyone who contacts you your “Mnemonic Phrase/Seed Phrase”. They are trying to steal your money!

Also, be wary of winnings, lotteries, contests, spam projects, free cryptocurrency, tokens, coins or the like! Since “MOD’s” now ban all “FUDster's” from project chat rooms. These scum have resorted to exploiting unsuspecting people via DM/PRIVMSG by way of a server “Raid” via “Social Engineering” and or “Spoofing”. All to cause harm to other traders, gain profits for themselves and nothing more.

Should someone contact you via these tools, be wary as 99% of all projects or project creators, will never contact you via “DM/PRIVMSG”, EVER! For the sake of your investment, project and sanity. Please report these types to your chat room “MOD” so that they can handle them accordingly.

True Hyper-Deflationary Token Models, put investor and community well being first! This is achieved through various means and is unique to each and every individual project whom elect to utilize the Hyper-Deflationary Token Model.

Hyper-Deflationary Tokens have emerged as a new category in the world of crypto. Offering widely unique Tokenomics models, making them quite different from regular tokens, as well as each other. While Hyper-Deflationary Tokens are similar to the regular Deflationary Token Model. Differences are easily identifiable when comparing project Tokenomics side by side.

Hyper-Deflationary Tokens are geared towards maximizing token holder value and user base growth.

Inflationary models are similar to fiat currency, and devalue a projects token. Which is inevitable, due to the endless supply of printed tokens being dumped on the market over time. To overcome the many problems that are associated with this model, Deflationary Token Models have been put into place.

Examples of this are: Ether, which is the native cryptocurrency of Ethereum (ETH) and Dogecoin’s (DOGE) of which has no supply upper limit, which means it can print coins forever!

With hopes that a team will reveal detailed inside information about what they are doing. Therefore, allowing a “FUDster” to buy and or sell on inside information. Most development team’s within the crypto space today are very aware of this illegal activity and will not fall prey to these sort of attacks on their project. They simply ban all “FUDster’s” during these attacks on their project.

In crypto, “Utility Tokens” are tokens that have a specific use, which also offers utility. They are created on a blockchain and are native to the platform they are used upon.

They are used to incentivize users to participate in a platform and to power the network. A platform may require users to hold a certain amount of tokens in order to be eligible to participate in certain activities or access certain features. “Utility Tokens” can be used to reward users for completing tasks or providing services within the designated platform as well. The use of a utility token is limited to the particular platform ecosystem that it is designed for.

Example: RickRoll (ROLL) Token will be utilized as the “In Game Cash” within the RockInRollLand.com platform ecosystem.

“Utility Tokens” are not designed as investment vehicles, though speculative trading within them has been known to happen and does occur.

Overall Self-Custody is the pinnacle of the “DEX”, “AMM” cryptocurrency mindset. All decentralized token holders and traders know and understand. The “Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto” slogan. Cryptographic private keys give direct access to your funds. When you own your private wallet keys, you and you alone can gain access to these funds! Meaning, no third party can sign a transaction from your wallet unless you personally authorize it to happen, funds can only be sent out by you.

Example: If your funds are held on a Centralized Exchange “CEX”, you do not own or hold your keys to your crypto, the exchange does. This means that you are trusting them to hold your keys and keep your crypto safe. Not a very good idea, whomever holds your crypto in custody could run off with it and or even sell it. If you think “CEX” collapse cannot happen look further into Mt. GOX, Terra and FTX...!
