press release
PRESS RELEASE. The Seasonal Tokens economy has gone through its second change of season. Like bitcoin, the four tokens – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter – go through regular halvings of the supply from mining. Every nine months, the rate of production of one of the tokens is cut in half. On the 6th of March, the Summer halving took place. Summer went from being produced at the fastest rate of the four tokens, to the slowest.
As the market adjusts to the lower rate of supply after a halving, the token that was previously the cheapest gradually becomes the most expensive. This happened with Spring after its halving in June of last year. The same process is now unfolding with Summer. Autumn tokens, which are now produced at the fastest rate of the four, have become the cheapest token, and can be expected to remain that way until the Autumn halving in December. Meanwhile, Summer is rising and is now tied with Winter for second place.
The tokens are designed to slowly cycle around each other in price so that traders can take advantage of the predictable price changes and accumulate holdings over time. The rule for successful trading is simple: Always trade tokens for more tokens of a different type. This eliminates the risk of making a loss, measured in tokens, and it guarantees that the total number of tokens held increases with every trade.
Before June 2022, a trader could get between 40% and 60% more tokens in total by trading Winter for Spring. After November, when Spring was the most expensive of the four, those traders could trade Spring for Summer and gain more tokens in total once again. Over the coming months, Summer will tend to become the most expensive token, giving traders a third chance to increase their holdings without spending more money.
Like bitcoin, the tokens become harder to obtain over time, making them suitable for use as a store of value. Unlike bitcoin, however, holders have a way to get more coins without speculating. A trader could try to get more bitcoins by selling when the bitcoin price is expected to fall, but the price might rise instead, leaving the trader with fewer bitcoins overall. Trying to accumulate bitcoins by trading necessarily involves gambling, and comes along with a risk of loss.
The predictable cycles in the relative prices of the four Seasonal Tokens make it possible to accumulate tokens through trading without the risk of ending up with fewer tokens. The total number of tokens a…
