This time, Bold Point’s overall economy will be in scope! Besides, they’re going to highlight $BPT and $YAY roles in the game. Keep reading, and you will understand exactly how to place your bets within the game.

Economy

As you know, there are two types of players: those who have a lot of time but no money and players who have money but little time.

In Bold Point, they tried to equalize these two groups and came up with a new strategy. The economy is built on the principle of income ~ expenses, so as not to cause excessive accumulation of resources in the player and to be able to predict the financial state of the player at one time or another of the game.

The game currency is divided into soft and hard. This gives more room for maneuver and makes it possible to compensate for mistakes made in one of the economies at the expense of the other. One of the major economic mechanics is the Cyclic Deficit.

Cyclic Deficit: As multiple currencies circulate in the game, a player always has one currency in abundance, one for active spending, and one in deficit. After certain points in the game, theyswap their places. Thus, the player will simultaneously feel both abundance and scarcity, which will incline players to farm more. But for a player not to fall into complete frustration, this mechanism will be cautiously balanced. Gradually combining the points of deficit, followed by an increase in income, again a deficit, again an increase.

Sooner or later, game currencies will lose its value. Players farm more and more, goods are rapidly becoming cheaper. Some developers use denomination, some are trying to strictly control the rate, while the black market is blooming violently.

To control this issue, they use a variant of a “living economy”, in which it is possible to both add and withdraw real money. At the same time, the entire reserve of the game currency is secured by a bank deposit. The game is a single issuer, all money turnover occurs in-game as well, and new money issues are also confirmed by a contribution to the gold standard. This will ensure a solid exchange rate and stability of the game currency.
