DAII Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) For the Flare finance , which will happen in future, it's going to take a snapshot of existing Flare tokens Wondering, how many people will convert everything (other coins) to Flare (just for the period when the snapshot occurs. To get the free airdrop), and then re-convert back flare to other coins, soon after the snapshot is completed.

I'm sure some people will and others will be happy with what they already have. DAII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 What some do is that they anticipate a price drop right after the snapshot/fork of a coin and sell RIGHT BEFORE the token actually splits. They basically think the new coin will be worthless and the original coin's value is higher than it should be because people want the "free" coins. Now this is actually the opposite what you describe. So it's not all that black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And made a good cut in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And made a good cut in the process. Now FLR is a bit different since the coin hasn't been even released yet AND the upcoming for is already known. The upcoming fork is basically already priced in, and we can only expect a sell-off right after the second fork. I believe the price of FLR in the first month will be determined by very different things than the upcoming split... We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there's people like me who know that some people buy right before, others sell right after and the best thing to do is market make the two coins before, during and after the snapshot Skippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
