Funding$25,000,000
Funding added to the reserves of the Global Income Coin Foundation as working capital for market interventions.
3
Airdrop/person/week$7
This amount's worth of GLO is what we'll distribute as basic income to every verified human (maximally, assuming GLO = $1)
4
Aidrop/person/year$365
5
Enthusiast pledge10%
How much of their post-tax USD income the average GLO enthusiast converts to GLO
6
Enthusiast avg income$31,133
Based on average US income (2019). (We're not limited to the US, just using it as a rough estimate)
7
Enthusiast tax rate50%
Rough estimate of tax rate
8
Enthusiast yearly purchase$1,557
Given income, tax rate, and pledge percentage, the amount of USD the average enthusiast will spend on purchasing GLO on a yearly basis

11
How many verified humans can we support in a year, keeping GLO completely stable at 1%, given the amount of funding in the reserves?
12
X = sell-off rate: what % of airdropped GLO do (non-enthusiast) humans on average sell for USD? This leads to supply / sell pressure.
13
Y = enthusiast conversion rate: what % of verified humans get excited about the mission of Global Income Coin and start actively purchasing it?

Green cells: theoretically the number of humans that can be supported here is infinite, since each added human is "net demand positive" on average

Interpretation example
32
In the very worst case, not a single person becomes GLO enthusiast and everyone who receives GLO airdrops sells all of it for USD.
33
Now we can support
68,493
humans, keeping GLO = $1 for a year
34
35
Note that in reality, we won't keep GLO = $1, which would mean very agressive interventions without a limit on reserves spending.
36
Instead, we'll put some cap on daily reserve spending (e.g. 1%) and allow the exchange rate of GLO to fall instead if demand is low.
37
This means in reality we'll be able to add more humans to Global Income Coin than this table suggests (or support the indicated number of humans for longer than a year).
38
39
Sell-off rate: the sell-off rate will get lower as the GLO ecosystem develops (i.e. more businesses accept GLO for payments, more payment services are built, etc)
40
The reason is that this gives GLO-receiving humans the option to spend their GLO for goods and services rather than sell it. It increases the utility of the currency, so there's less reason to cash out for fiat.
41
We're assuming in the beginnning, about 70% will be sold and 30% will be kept on balances to be spent later.
42
43
Value created:
44
If we keep the value of GLO=$1 while airdropping $7 worth of GLO to 114,021 people, we've created 114,021*$365 = $41.6m worth of GLO
