Hey fellow nouners. Itβs been a pity to see the price at the recent auctions: it dilutes a monetary value of every minted noun
Each noun worth at least as much as our treasury divided by the number of minted nouns to date.
More so we can profitably invest the treasury converting ETH to higher value by promoting the brand, and we will continue doing it as a community
Nevertheless, I feel like absence of concrete perks for Noun holders has had a negative influence on price over time. People like to be a part of a community - no doubt, but everyone likes sizable investments to have measurable payoffs
What if we provide each noun with a monthly pocket cash, payed monthly straight out of treasury? It would make a much clearer economic incentive to buy a Noun to straight up investors, and drive the price up!
Currently the treasury per capita rate is little over 56ETH. If we set the payout rate at 10% per year, each Noun would be payed 5.6ETH yearly or 0.46ETH each month.
It would make each new Noun a great investment vehicle, making each Nouner a little bit more happy but more importantly providing a very clear incentive to bid higher for new nouns
If every newly purchased noun would be bought exactly at the treasury-per-capita price, the salary would drive down this treasury-per-capita rate very slow, allowing the total treasury to keep growing. In the next year we will add 365 new nouns increasing the supply by 70%, in the year two - by 41%, while the salary makes a downward pressure by only 10% in the example above
We can decide which rate to choose, or adjust it every so often. I think it would be a great fun!
To make the incentive even more fun, instead of a steady predictable salary we can spend this fund on buying top NFTβs and making a random draw amongst all nouns - I would personally love this option, and think that it would result in the same price drive, but a little bit of gamble would provide more thrill to this endeavour
What do you think?
