there’s no actual value accrual for vvv
the only sustainable economic link is the programmatic burn which is effectively zero - it’s $2/$5/$10 of vvv burned per NEW sub (pro / pro+ / max). there’s no programmatic burn for ongoing subs so it’s a onetime pymt only on new subs. it captures economic value just for new signups one time. the $18 / $68 / $200 monthly rev doesn’t go to the token. conservatively speaking they’d need to add 10-25x of its current paid sub acquisition rate just to offset emissions
the discretionary buyback can be terminated any time (it’s just trust me bro)
vvv captures imo 5-10% of revenue with the rest going to equity (equity biz prob p good tbh) but even if you take the recent delphi (optimistic imo) 12mo forward target of $260M ARR, at 5% capture that’s $13M/yr in buy pressure which provides little support for the existing valuation + emissions
you’re basically relying on team to juice discretionary buybacks and imo if that were really their intention then part of the recurring monthly sub rev would be going to programmatic burn. i don’t buy the “we are in growth mode so we don’t want to burn token” — don’t do it all then
