So someone on Twitter asked me to do an article on Abundance, which is a new digital currency which hasn’t even launched yet. I promised him it would be my first article while I’m in London, so here we go. Folks,meet Abundance!
From the original pre-announcement thread, Abundance’s objective is clear : set the Crypto world on fire! By calling itself an income coin (because of fair distribution and residual income through Proof-of-Stake) , Abundance is setting the bar very high for itself.
However , there is something “unique” about Abundance that you aren’t aware of just yet.
Abundance wants to earn the users’ trust by introducing PoE (Proof-of-Effort). Participate in social media ations and earn Abundance!
There will be two PoE phases for Abundance. Phase
1 requires participation in at least two out of three social media events, whereas Phase 2 will reward users with Abundance by casting their votes on MintPal.
With a team consisting of no less than seven people, alll with their own area of expertise, there could be an interesting future for Abundance. You can find a full list of team members by clicking here
Only 500,000 coins will be mined during the Proof-of-Work phase, before Abundance switches to Proof-of-Stake. In total, there will only be 1 million ABC after 8 years, making Abundance a very scarce digital currency.
There will also be an Abundance Foundation, in order to maintain and grow the value of this coin , and to give it back to causes improving the human condition. Nothing we haven’t heard before as far as I’m concerned.
Considering the fact there is also a plan to run an IPO for Abundance, I’m completely unimpressed by this coin so far. This seems to be a step backwards from where we are at the moment. But I’ll hold off on final judgement until the coin actually launched.
