With the 50/50 pool you would've 3200$ worth of ADA and 15k worth of MELD. Now let's skip to the year 2025 and ADA is now worth 20$ which means that you gave them roughly 6400$, but MELD is now worth 1$ which means you got now 30.000$ thanks to the airdrop. At the end you've given them 320 ADA, but get back 30k in MELD. Now let's say you stake 15k ADA that produces 10 ADA in rewards per epoch. So because it's an ideal world and fantasies become reality will say that because of the pairing and other reasons the demand is so high that 4 out of the 10 billions are in the MELD token. Let's say that 1% will join the best product, that means 10 Billion worth of AUM (Assets under Management) would be floating around in the MELD protocol and 1/3 I can imagine would be MELD pairs. The crypto currencies included are so far ADA/BTC/BNB/ETH which is together at current price roughly 1 Trillion Market Cap. In this case I strongly believe that MELD with the genius loan has the best loan product in the crypto and as a matter of fact in the banking space. People or better their assets will naturally get drawn to the service / product that treats them and their money the best. We know that people need/want loans especially in the crypto space. I personally look at it more from an opportunity perspective. I can’t take credit for this as it was posted in Meld’s Telegram, but here’s more food for thought along the lines of this thread:Ībsolutely right thought process 👏 Protecting your wealth is super important. But that is speculation right now, not sure if that should be mentioned at all. Since there are 40b ADA and 4b MELD, the price of MELD might be same or around as ADA. I think that if everything goes right, MELD market cap may stay approx. Is 3b market cap realistic? Similar project on ETH is AAVE and it is 4.3b fully diluted market cap. Is that much? If 1 MELD is 0.75, then fully diluted market cap should be 3b since there are 4b MELD coins. Then one MELD must cost $0.75 so we can have 100% APY but not for year but in 32 epochs or 160 days. We want it to have value of our initial investment $1500. On reward day after 32 epochs, you will get 2 MELDs per ADA. So, you spend $1500, buy 1000 ADA and delegate to MELD2 pool. I think that will be the price by the time you read this. Imagine you want to buy some ADA to invest to MELD.
