BitClout · interactive mechanism simulation

Bitcoin deposits mint $CLOUT on its own bonding curve → traders spend $CLOUT buying quadratic-priced creator coins → a founder-reward cut mints extra coins straight to the profile owner → sells drain the reserve back to traders. Historically early selling of the native token was restricted (a one-way door); this simulation allows two-way trading so you can see the reflexive price dynamics play out.

Illustrative simulation. Defaults follow the researched BitClout mechanism (quadratic creator-coin bonding curve price ≈ 0.003 × supply², a founder-reward cut of newly minted coins, and a Bitcoin→$CLOUT onramp), but starting values, trade sizes and timing are randomized for visualization — not live onchain data. The "trigger hype collapse" button forces a burst of sells to show the reflexive price crash described in the entry; it is a labeled illustration, not a replay of real price history.
