Pivx fork, zkSnark, privacy token . . .
All this means shit to the normies.
The only thing that matters is the tokenomics from staking. So long as the devs don't fuck that up we are good.
You know why John hasn't hit the bricks on shilling this shit yet? He doesn't want ESH money. He wants the Ghost money.
Why showcase the volatility of ESH when a week from now he can showcase the stability and returns of ghost.
If you haven't figured out that "exchanges will be assisting in the token swap" means that they will be used in the staking process, I don't know what to tell you.
The only thing he needs to explain to a normie audience is that holding Ghost generates more Ghost. That's it.
"It's safer than bitcoin. You can mine it without any fancy computer equipment. Holding X amount of Ghost for Y # of Days Yields Z amount of more Ghost."
He will be lambasting central finance showing how much the dollar is being dilluted and offering an alternative that yields more of itself just by having it.
The efficacy of the privacy aspects are NOT an issue for debate. It could be a turd in a basket, it does not matter. They could push it a year in development --- so long as the staking works and normies can see a return they will buy whether fearful or greedy. People will be unironically taking out loans to buy more Ghost because they will think "I get more of what i just paid" If they paid $100 a pop they would still get the same return rate.
All this is going to sound very very good to the normies.
Biz is not the final market for Ghost. Not by a longshot.
Just hodl. Thats it. So long as you don't sell, it doesn't go down. If you limit the supply, you will increase the demand.
Look a month or two down the road. We are very, very early to the game.
