Burning coins causes deflation and hence increases the value of remaining coins.

*UTILITY INCREASES THE VALUE*

#BitcoinCASH is greater than *just* the $$$

True and for that very reason supply/demand holds true.
replied 2363d
what does that have to do with burning coins?
replied 2363d
If the demand is contant and supply goes down (by e.g. burning), the price of the remaining supply must go up.

Burning is the laziest,
most deceitful.

Burning coins is kind of like burning a Tabasco the Bull thinking it'll make all the other extant Beany Babies more valuable/desirable. In reality it's just a token gesture(wakawaka).
replied 2363d
I agree it is lazy, and we should seek to grow value in other ways. I was just stating how the market works.
replied 2364d
So explain the decline in price of the remaining coins, since people started burning BCH for wormhole.......

Maybe because of the conflict, don't you think? I don't think the burning is the reason
replied 2355d
i dont think burning affects price in any way, which is exactly my point, people claiming burning increases value of other coins, this is provably false, by the price decline.

I would rather say that the decline was stronger than the effects of the burning
replied 2355d
They always will be.

Burning coins does not increase the price in USD of remaining coins

All it does
Is reduces how many slices of the pie there will be.
This is not the same.

How is that? Because the market believes there are 21 million? In reality a lot less but we can't detect how many are burned.

Burning coins will increase the price proportional to the ratio of burned coins to coins in circulation. For a permanent 1% change you need to burn 210,000 BCH.
replied 2355d
If I burn 100 coins the price in USD is unaffected, as these coins would not be part of trading market anyway.

All it means is, I hold less bitcoin.

Yes yes, the way to affect the price is to restrict the supply *on the market* while making sure demand stays consistent or rises. If restricting supply decreases demand it's futility.
replied 2364d
The sell pressure has been extremely strong for two reasons - the general bear market, and the FUD regarding Nov. fork. This has NOTHING to do with the burning.
replied 2355d
a BURNT coin, is essentially a coin sold for $0.00

this has no impact on remaining coins.

Less supply of coins = more value per coin. Does selling it for nothing trump that?
replied 2355d
Supply AND demand,
Determines price.

It doesn't matter what the supply is if there is no demand.

UTILTY CREATES DEMAND!

Utility is where the value stems from, not the supply.

Exactly, burning a Tabasco the Bull doesn't create any more demand for collectors to buy one. If I have 10 and burn the price I can sell the remaining 9 for doesn't increase.

If it's utility and demand, why wouldn't less supply mean higher price?

Having 3 apples at that people value at 33 sats and eating 2 apples, or selling 333,333 BCH, (or whatever is a substantial amount of BCH) wouldn't affect the buying price?

limited number of coins
utilised for maximum value.

Burning is the cheapest
most vulgar option.
