A thought I had that proved nonviable through Eterium, but maybe there's a way to get it to work.

Right now shitcoins have massive massive market caps that have an upper limit of more coins then the number of stars in the sky

I propose the opposite: a coin that has exactly 999 coins preminted, and no more will ever be made. Call them Doge Shiny or DS.

What you do is give away 100 coins to influencers and rich personalities, and lock the rest behind a smart contract as follows:

when the price per coin reaches a certain threshold, 100 more coins get added to the market and sold, the price multiplying by 10 each time
so when it reaches $0.01, 100 get added. $0.10, 100 added. Same for $1, $10, $100, $1,000, and so on until the last 99 coins sell for $100,000,000.
you may choose to break up the last 99 so they instead sell smaller sets for each price increase increment. If you do 10s then 1s then the last coin would sell for $1x10^26, or a hundred quadrillion dollars.

Obviously, the last few coins would not sell. But as more coins are on the market, more people are aware of the coins and demand increases to the point that people with very deep pockets have no issue with dropping a large chunk of money on the coin, as everyone knows that the price will go up over time very quickly until the threshold is hit. Even if it peters out at just over $10,000 like bitcoin, you, the issuer, have made $111,111.10. with a coin max much lower then bitcoin it might go for a hundred times or a thousand times the price of bitcoin.

thoughts?

it's good in theory, but I always find myself coming back to the same issues with cryptocurrencies:
  1. crypto originated as a medium for illicit darkweb transactions
    • as such the very nature and foundation of blockchain is inherently economically unstable
  2. any currency, crypto or otherwise, has to at some point represent real world value
    • influencers are inherently worthless, therefore any observant investor is going to see that DS is inherently worthless
    • any assigned value is going to be social, which is the most unstable market value of all

All those problems can be mitigated by the long nose tribe, sadly. But they would also fuck with the algorithm so that it's sketchy.

the main problem is listing and gas fees.

This is stupid. Your whole post is a big sandcastle of stupid and every time I try to dig out one sentence and explain why that part in particular makes no sense the whole stupid sandcastle falls on me and I choke on stupid sand until I die.
You are underage.
