The post The Economic Structure of Cryptocurrencies appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Tokenomics refers to the economic structure of a cryptocurrency. It includes factors that affect the token’s use and value. It also covers factors that influence the token’s use and value in the future. These factors include creation, distribution, supply and demand, incentive mechanisms and burn schedules. The knowledge about tokenomics is very necessary for an investor to join a crypto project. What Is Tokenomics? This word” tokenomics” is combination of both, “token” and “economics.” It is the set of rules that together create a crypto ecosystem. These are encoded in software and as such are predictable and transparent. This is how they control the way in which the tokens are created, distributed and used on the network. For example, there are 21 million fixed coins of Bitcoin ($BTC). These coins are generated through mining. Some individuals are rewarded with the ability to validate transactions. This subsidy halves every 210,000 blocks, which means that every 4 years the block subsidy falls in half. It keeps going till all 21 million Bitcoins are mined. Key Elements of Tokenomics There are several important elements of tokenomics. These elements affect a token value and its utility. Here are the key aspects of tokenomics: 1.      Token Supply When it comes to price, the supply of token is very important. Maximum supply pertains to a total of all the tokens that will exist ever. For example, take Bitcoin which has a maximum supply of 21 million coins. There is a cap of 84 million coins for Litecoin ($LTC). Circulating supply is also another important factor. This means that how many tokens are currently in circulation. The price of the token is based on the balance between maximum and circulating supply rather than its overall supply. 2.      Token Utility Token utility is its utility within the ecosystem…
