Why? Is there some reason nbt demand has lowered and will not increase again in the short term? Btc is going up. We just need to cover the demand recession while the price changes, then we get our dues again when the price crashes again. In the mean time, just set a few park rates so we dont get slaughtered on the nsr market.

There’s NBT from the Nu and BCE development funds continuously entering the market, going from “frozen” circulating NBT to “really” circulating NBT.
So I don’t think it’s primarily a demand recession, but rather a supply increase - unless BCE trading starts and people need NBT to trade fiat like there.
If you have a look at the protocol upgrade, which is a prerequisite for that, you might not bet on a very near support by BCE.
And I wouldn’t bet on BTC price, even though that’s an option with the coinbase reward halving coming closer. If the BTC price doesn’t rise sharply, it can get very ugly (after the mining data centre operators ran dry with supporting purchases to keep the system running).
If I were a speculator, I’d bet on a short term increase of BTC price - but what do I know?
Oh, I know that NSR sale can remove NBT permanently from market. This decision doesn’t depend on speculation of any kind 
There’s some demand on the NSR market. Nu doesn’t necessarily get slaughtered there:
If we think this recession is long term we should end NuSafe. That would increase the standard by $1,500.
It’s time to start voting for the standard.
We need a comprehensive liquidity management framework.
Dealing with liquidity without it is becoming more demanding than we can handle.
Thank you so much for your efforts in creating motions to improve this by far!
I really want to deal with the Outstanding thing first. The standard is just wordplay, Nu health exists whether we define it strictly or not. Nu health is low right now. If we think this is indicative of something deeper, we should sell our stable reserves and prepare for a storm. If we think it is just a swing, we should implement park rates. Selling NSR is not our best option right now in my opinion, though it is for sure an option. As is devaluing NBT or spiking fees to dollars on the transaction.
The standard is more than just a wordplay!
Don’t hide your light under a bushel!
It’s the most comprehensive framework for assessing the network and to trigger actions!
You remember this?
That was an attempt from an economical not very educated person like me, but your draft is much more concisely!
I don’t see a storm coming, but if you can agree with my assumption that more and more NBT from development funds enter the market (together with the still much too expensive NBT grants for liquidity!) the increased supply needs to be handled.
If if can’t be handled by genuine demand, artificial demand by offering park rates is for sure an option.
Alas, I can’t foresee the future.
My approach would be selling NSR before the trust in Nu is undermined and they can only be sold at worse rates.
You know that this is my stance ever since I started dealing with liquidity (at least for the most time): sell NSR early.
As there’s good arguments for park rates and for NSR sale and for both choices you can’t foresee the consequences, it boild down to a kind of religious thing.
To really calculate it, you’d need pieces of information now that will only be available in the future.
If the reserves are getting lower, I’ll start a discussion regarding NSR sale from FLOT NSR reserve, because doing nothing (NSR holders not even voting for park rates) would be the worst option.
For the record, if park rates kick in for 30 days we are forced to do an nsr sale by motion. I would guess that flot signers would respond to the letter of the nsr sale motion with consensus.
Right, but what if NSR holders don’t vote for park rates and the reserves go down further?
Sure, I totally agree the current model has a rather large gap. However, shareholders would be stupid to allow that to happen. Hear that? Stupid to avoid using the park rate and nsr sale mechanisms we currently have! If FLOT BTC reserve comes up dry we will lose all confidence at this point. Hell, i would lose confidence.
If we’re in trouble, we still have NuSafe. We have some time yet before the apocalypse for sure.
And next to the remaining BTC reserves we have NuSafe, right, and we have the FLOT NSR team holding 25,000,000 NSR.
There’s a lot of buffer left, before the first NSR need to be granted by NSR holders.

Totalparked nubits should be excluded in nubits in circulation for NSr buyback calculation.
What do people think?
Yes, i guess i thought they were already taken out of the getinfo reply, but i suppose they arent. So yah, i think parked should be excluded. We could try to exclude only those nbt that will not be unparked during the coming week, but that may be tough to calculate.
The point of parking NBT is removing them from circulation - if only temporarily.
I see some potential problems with a vast amount of NBT being parked (can you park at 0%?), which could in edge cases lead to NSR buybacks, because the amount of circulating NBT is reduced big time.
It’s quite hypothetical, but not impossible and maybe a vector to game the system.
I have no simple answer to this question.
Even parked NBT are a (future) liability for Nu. Maybe they should no be excluded from the NBT in circulation…

money supply the week before was 1290846.4629

currently it is 1297114.8532
The couple of k nbt are grants. The $60k+ parked are not counted in.
We are calculating buyback for the next week. ideally the calculator should ignore the nubits to be unparked next week. but currently assuming all will still be parked is more accurate.
All I’m saying is that this can lead to oscillating effects, if very big amounts of NBT are parked with a buyback one week and a sale the other week (after the NBT unparked) - once this motion passes: [Passed] Standard and Core
After thinking twice I’m inclined to ignore the parked NBT and consider them as “in circulation” although they temporarily aren’t.
Parking is dealing with a short term lack of demand for NBT. That should never be able to lead to a NSR buyback, because those NBT are removed from the calculation for a short period of time.
That is guessing the intention of the shareholders. I am a bit worried that the calculator has this logic built-in. But I suppose you are right.
I agree with you. I do not think that parked nubits should be regarded as a real supply decrease for very short periods. But we could remove from circulation say half of the total supply (350000) for 1y at 0.1% interest rate. Then we would really need to issue new nubits which would lead to plenty of buy backs. Also, that would trigger buyback immediately.
And overall that would be sensible.
Can you find out for what total duration NBT are being parked?
