Conclusion

By employing a very simple deflationary token model that is tied to platform success, $HIO price will be easily analyzed and predicted based on subscriber growth. The economic flow from listener to artist is efficiently harnessed and fairly benefits $HIO token holders. Importantly, in this model, the value of $HIO is not dependent on artificial supply constraints.

This design represents the HIO team's commitment to supporting $HIO as a valuable utility token. Any changes to the above-described design will be made in the long-term interests of $HIO token holders.
