Pitfalls: Theoretical and Practical Concerns

The Risks of a Mono-Commodity Dependence

The ESB token's historical reliance on digital assets sales, notably breedersboxes and NFT drops, exposes it to challenges often encountered by Mono-Commodity Economies. These economies—or in our context, ecosystems—are majorly dependent on a single type of commodity or a narrow range of commodities for their revenue and growth. While this focus can foster growth during periods of high demand for such commodities, it's equally susceptible to sharp downturns when the demand falters.

For instance, in the global context, nations heavily reliant on oil exports flourish during high oil prices but grapple with economic challenges when these prices plummet. Similarly, for Breeders Zone, the risks of relying predominantly on breedersboxes and NFT drops for revenue became evident when the demand for these digital assets waned, leading to a decline in the currency's value.

The imperative for the Breeders Zone is to diversify the utility and income sources for the ESB token, ensuring resilience against such market fluctuations. Moreover, a positive valuation of the ESB token not only fortifies the Breeders Zone's ecosystem but also strengthens the position and confidence of its investors.

The Fisher's Equation Dilemma and Inflationary Pressures

The rapid increase in the ESB token supply, without a corresponding growth in utility or demand, brings to light the principles of Fisher's Equation of Exchange. This equation, given as MV=PT (where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and T is the transaction volume), suggests that an increase in the money supply without a proportionate increase in transaction volume can lead to price inflation.

For Breeders Zone, the money supply (ESB tokens) saw a rapid increase due to high APY staking rewards. However, without a corresponding rise in the token's utility (transaction volume), this naturally led to inflationary pressures. The challenge now lies in either increasing the token's utility or managing its supply more effectively to ensure balanced economics.
