1. Why will influencers use the indaHash Coin instead of traditional fiat currencies?
The benefit of using indaHash Coins are clear. One prerequisite will be the personalization of tokens. The ecosystem created by indaHash will enable influencers to create their own personalized coins which has been unheard of until now. With the creation of their own tokens an influencer can use their tokens as rewards for their audience. These rewards can be given in appreciation for an audience’s loyalty or to motivate and encourage more activity from the audience’s side, such as likes and reposts. As audiences gather more tokens they will have the option to exchange them for offers from their favorite influencers, which could be anything from personalized prizes like shoutouts, signed gadgets, mutual selfies posted on social profile, face to face meetings, and other engaging social activities mutually beneficial for both sides. The possibilities are endless, and will be a practical aspect of the optimization of the relationship between influencers and their followers.
indaHash has also revealed a unique “Pay-With-Fame” feature. With this, influencers can exchange their indaHash Coins for various offers from brands, including but not limited to early access to exclusive and limited edition products, events, and/or workshops. This will be a groundbreaking change and help link the connection between brands and influencers adding a sense of exclusivity for influencers when they are offered products and opportunities that they may not have had the chance to receive before. This will also be advantageous for brands as their products and services will be viewed and used by more and more promising influencers.
The option for influencers to exchange their tokens for payout will be available as well. Influencers should know that if they are to keep them, the value will be expected to grow with time. Payout with indaHash Coins will allow influencers to be a part of the the booming industry of cryptocurrencies. If anyone has followed Bitcoin over the past few years, it’s quite obvious that coins can be something lucrative to hold on to.
2. How will the circulation of indaHash Coins look like for everyone involved?
Basically, according to the recently published indaHash Whitepaper ICO, “indaHash cryptoeconomics assumes indaHash Coin circulation between three groups of receivers: brand, influencer, audience”. The infographic below, provided by indaHash and featured in the previously mentioned Whitepaper, gives a detailed breakdown of the circulation between those three groups.
3. How is the indaHash Coin worth anything if it is not regulated by a country or central bank? Will the value change or be something static?
Barbara Soltysinska, CEO of indaHash, has answered these questions in an interview with investitin.com:
What gives indaHash Coin value?
As with all cryptocurrencies, the ultimate value of indaHash tokens is dependant upon the demand and supply and the economies of scale. The more the indaHash business grows, the greater the value of the indaHash Coin. Pre-ICO, the value of 1 IDH will be around $0.06 but the future value of the indaHash Coin will be determined by the market. What is unique about the indaHash Coin is the fact that indaHash will constantly buy back its own indaHash Coins to pay influencers for campaigns. So, indaHash will create and drive the growing value of IDH. Furthermore, the indaHash Coin value should reflect wider influencer marketing industry conditions and it’s commonly known that influencer marketing is the fastest growing media segment.
How will this value change over time?
indaHash will issue 80% of all tokens. In order to be able to settle the payments in the indaHash Coin, the company will regularly purchase its own indaHash Coins for the fiat currencies received from the brands. Then it will give the indaHash Coins to the influencers. This will constantly fuel the demand and the value of our currency and it will grow together with the dynamic development and expansion of indaHash as a business.
4. How will people outside the realm of indaHash influencers, brands, and the audience be able to invest in and become a part of the indaHash Coin community?
