Pure - are you thinking tokens then rather than cash?
Thanks PureG,
I'll look forward to it, (I think).
yes,thanks PureG. .am i about to be proved wrong? won't be the first time. morning albert.regards to you.
Tokens confirmed
Is that a good thing? i think i was more excited about cash
Yeah well great question, we will find out in the long term if cash or tokens were to be better.
Everyone I've spoken to has their own opinions, but I personally feel for the tokens to have a chance they need to be very stable, and will act far more like the Robux currency from Roblox or FIFA points or COD points from their respective games than bitcoin or any of the other cryptos we tend to think of. Vlassopulos has eluded to in game currency alot in his recent interviews (especially Roblox given his connection) and I fully expect to see Napster gift cards in my local Tesco e.t.c within a year's time, just as I can buy Robux there too. I maintain the need for stability because artists labels and even Napster themselves if the subscription is payable in tokens as has been suggested will need to know at any given time what the cash equivalent is otherwise it seems to be a admin headache to keep adjusting prices to keep up with exchange rates.
Hi Italian. Hope you are keeping well.
So it looks like the story goes on. I first invested in August 2017 in EVR and I daresay you've been in this even longer.
PureG
Re your last paragraph I would not see much problem with any electronic payment. Wouldn't any transaction be like a currency exchange, done at the prevailing price?
But Napster gift cards at Tesco etc. Fantastic! But would need some pre-preparation.
So maybe Jon V is already all over this. Great for us if he is !!
Once again, thanks for all your input.
Yeah I mean it would work in the sense that it would be functional but with volatility comes risk.
An extreme example for demonstration purposes could be from a user experience if someone buys 100 tokens for £100 spends ten tokens on their monthly subscription then comes back the following month and it now costs 90 tokens for the subscription because thats the new exchange rate you're going to very quickly see an exodus of users who are very ****ed off and will no doubt share their negative experiences on the internet.
afternoon albert.im fine thanks.i have a long history with napster,originally evr.probably my best investment ever in my first foray.i sold out on the spike at about 180p.second time around probably my second worst investment ever.doh! still we need to see what happens with the tokens before the story is finally over.interesting times eh.
