Simulation Results: Micro Business + Diamond Hands

This analysis covers 15 simulations of a micro business model over 36 months.

Business Outcomes

Despite high revenue volatility, the micro business survived in 93% of cases. The square root pricing function helped dampen price swings during spiky revenue periods.

The significant gap between mean and median revenue indicates a right-skewed distribution with occasional extreme successes.

Participant Performance

▸ ROI Rankings (Mean): (3 participants)
  • Early Adopter: 40.57x ██████████
  • Founder's Friend: 33.77x ██████████
  • Committed Holder: 23.36x ██████████

Behavior Analysis:

Diamond hands outperformed in this scenario, achieving 32.57x average ROI. Their refusal to exit captured full upside when the business succeeded.

Sample Narrative

*The most dramatic story from 15 simulations:*

The Font Foundry launched in Jan 2024 creating UI component libraries. In Feb 2024, Stripe account suspended pending review. Then in Feb 2025, negative review from a popular tech blogger hurt conversions. The business shut down in month 36.

  • Night Owl: a single tweet from an influencer changed everything (survived, $97,152 total)
  • Deep Focus: accidentally shipped the wrong product to a reviewer (survived, $161,421 total)

  • Amara's Neon Loops: server migration went sideways for a week (survived, $85,888 total)

Economic Observations

Price variation of 31% tracked the underlying business risk. The bonding curve damped but didn't eliminate swings—appropriate for this volatility profile.

Supply Floor (S_min = 1000): The minimum supply floor prevented price collapse in failure scenarios. Floor price: $0.25. No simulation reached the floor, indicating adequate supply cushion.

Exit Queue Mechanism: With high survival rate, exit queues typically cleared quickly. The FIFO queue processed exits from ongoing revenue without delays.

Key Findings

1. High survival rate rewards patience. Diamond hands and long-term holders outperformed reactive strategies in this scenario.

2. Early Adopter achieved highest returns (40.57x), while Committed Holder achieved lowest (23.36x).

Design Principle Check

Implication: For micro businesses with similar parameters, the token system creates meaningful value for early contributors.
