#Moon Pro-Arguments Below is an argument written by Blendzi0r which won 2nd place in the Moon Pro-Arguments topic for a prior [Cointest](/r/CointestOfficial/wiki/cointest_policy) round. > *First published on: 14.10.2021* > > *Last edited on: 27.12.2021* > > # What are Moons? > > Moons were [launched by Reddit admins in May 2020](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/gj96lb/introducing_rcryptocurrency_moons/) on Ethereum under the [Community Points](https://www.reddit.com/community-points/) project. Users earn them by contributing (commenting, posting, taking part in contests, etc.) to r/CryptoCurrency (r/cc) subreddit. Moons represent "a unit of ownership" in the subreddit. More information on them can be found here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/moons\_wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/moons_wiki) > > # What are their pros? > > **THEY CAN BE "EARNED"** > > Moons are unique. They can't be mined and you don't have to buy them in order to own some. All you need is a [reddit account](https://www.reddit.com/register/) and an opened [vault](https://www.reddit.com/community-points/). If your comments or posts are upvoted by other redditors, you will receive Moons in the next distribution. Distributions take place every 4 weeks. You might also be tipped Moons by other users directly and receive them immediately. There are also various competitions where redditors can win Moons (e.g. [Trivia](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV6AMUYz-RY), [Cointest](https://www.reddit.com/r/CointestOfficial/), etc.) > > **THEY GIVE REDDITORS POWER** > > The main purpose of Moons is to use them for **voting in Governance Polls**. These polls are held on r/cc regularly and users vote on proposals submitted by other users or moderators (mods). The more Moons someone has, the greater his/her voting power is. Governance Polls allow Moon holders to push r/cc sub in the direction they believe is best. > > It's worth noting that only Moons that were **earned** can be used for voting. Bought Moons don’t increase user’s voting power. > > **THEY ENGAGE USERS** > > Moons incentivize r/cc subscribers to be active and produce quality content. r/cc is constantly one of the top subreddits when it comes to [comments per day](https://subredditstats.com). They also attract new users – r/cc **is currently the most popular subreddit about crypto** with more than 4.2 million subscribers. This gives Moons exposure to a large public from the beginning. Other projects usually have to start from the bottom and work their way up before they attract a big number of holders and supporters. > > Moons also incentivize moderators as they receive as much as 10% of the total distribution. Thanks to that, despite the huge number of subscribers, the sub is kept clean most of the time. > > **FIRST MOVER ADVANTAGE** > > The popularity of Moons gives them also the first mover advantage ([although they aren't the first Community Points project](https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/kl6ldu\/donuts_faq/)). Even if Reddit launches more Community Points on other subreddits, **Moons have already established their name** (and speaking of names – it’s hard for a better one in the world of cryptocurrencies). > > **REDDIT’S BRANDING AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT** > > Moons are developed by a team of professionals hired by Reddit. This makes the project credible and eliminates the risk of a rug pull that is ever-present in the case of many other low market cap projects. > > What’s more, Moon’s smart contracts and mobile apps have been also [reviewed and audited by Trail of Bits](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/moons_wiki), an independent security firm. > > Despite being Reddit’s product, Moons are independent of Reddit and once earned neither the admins nor the subreddit moderators can take them away from [users](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/moons_wiki). > > **MANY MOONS ARE ALREADY LOST FOREVER** > > Moons that weren’t claimed in time are lost/burned. Moons that were supposed to be delivered to people who didn’t open their vaults are also burned. The number of Moons that are already burned is estimated at **more than 50 million Moons are lost.** Total supply is 250 million, so the number of lost Moons is significant. And it keeps growing: > > [35% users who earned karma still didn’t have their vaults set up during the 18th distribution](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/q3cbfe/comment/hfqztnl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). > > **MOONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LAUNCHED ON ETH MAINNET** > > In July 2021, [Moons were moved to Arbitrum](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/opibci/were_launching_a_scaling_network_for_moons/), Ethereum scaling network. This was done in preparation for the mainnet move. When Moons hit the mainnet, this will open up plenty of opportunities, one of them is the possibility of Moons being listed on exchanges. > > Speaking of exchanges, [Kraken has already published a crypto guide for Moons](https://www.kraken.com/en-us/learn/what-is-reddit-moon/). This might be significant because there are hundreds of coins with higher market cap but Kraken still decided to publish a guide for Moons instead of those coins. > > **MOONS HAVE A LOT OF POTENTIAL** > > Being a currency of the most popular crypto sub, Moons can find a lot of new use-cases and with their **low market cap** they have a lot of room for growth. Moons are currently placed 800-900 according to Coingecko which suggests they might be strongly undervalued considering their credibility and exposure. > > When they reach mainnet, they might be accepted by [cyphermarket](https://www.cyphermarket.com/) and people will be able to [buy crypto-related products there directly with Moons](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/p9zbhg/announcing_rcryptocurrency_merchandise_and_a/). More adoption is sure to follow. > > Recently, [Reddit auctioned some NFTs](https://nft.reddit.com/#live-auction). One of them was sold for 175 ETH. This might suggest that r/cc will have their own NFTs in the future, too. And if so, they will probably be sold for Moons. > > Admins have also stated that they’re “[working hard to figure out how to grow them even further](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/opibci/were_launching_a_scaling_network_for_moons/)”. > > **DEDICATED COMMUNITY** > > Moons are sometimes accused of lowering the quality of the sub.

#Moon Con-Arguments Below is an argument written by Blendzi0r which won 1st place in the Moon Con-Arguments topic for a prior [Cointest](/r/CointestOfficial/wiki/cointest_policy) round. > *First Published on: 14.10.2021* > > *Last Edited on: 26.01.2021* > > # What are Moons? > > Moons were [launched by Reddit admins in May 2020](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/gj96lb/introducing_rcryptocurrency_moons/) on Ethereum under the [Community Points](https://www.reddit.com/community-points/) project. Users earn them by contributing (commenting, posting, taking part in contests, etc.) to r/CryptoCurrency (r/cc) subreddit. Moons represent "[a unit of ownership](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/moons_wiki)" in the subreddit. > > # What are their cons? > > **THEY ARE CENTRALIZED** > > Reddit reserves the right “[to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) at any time, with or without notice to you](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/beta-terms-of-service)”. Moons are completely dependent on Reddit. If Reddit was to abandon the project, Moons would most probably become worthless. > > It's also worth pointing out that Moons are developed by people hired by Reddit but that’s all we know. We don’t know who exactly is responsible for the development. And the source code for Moons isn’t open either. > > This is centralization to the fullest and centralization goes against the core principles of cryptocurrencies. > > **MODERATORS ARE TOP HOLDERS** > > 40% of each [distribution](https://www.reddit.com/community-points/documentation/distribution-process) goes to Community Tank (managed by Reddit), 10% to moderators and 50% to users. It might not look that bad at first glance, but consider the fact that the 50% is shared between more than 4 million users while the 10% is shared between fewer than 20 mods. > > In the last distributions, mods got around 20k Moons each while the most active users got around 4k Moons. [There are only 2 people among top 10 Moon holders who are not moderators](https://ccmoons.com/) (one of the users isn't a moderator but it's an account that is managed by mods). > > It’s [against Terms of Service](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/beta-terms-of-service) to trade Moons but if it was allowed (;-)) we could **speculate** that mods would be able to manipulate the price of Moons because they hold so many of them and can easily communicate with each other. This, again, makes Moons centralized because even if they were to become independent of Reddit, there are too many tokens owned by too few people. > > **MODERATORS AND ADMINS HOLD A LOT OF POWER** > > Not only do moderators and admins hold so many Moons, they also hold an absolute power over the sub. This would be understandable if Reddit didn’t claim that [Community Points are to give the control over the social media to the users](https://www.reddit.com/community-points/). > > Currently, **mods and admins decide which proposal are voted on** and which aren't. Mods can also delete posts and [deleted posts don’t receive Moons](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oy8aks/disqualify_removed_content_from_moon_rewards/). They are sometimes accused of not providing clear explanation on why some of the posts were removed. > > **EXTREME SUPPLY INFLATION** > > There are people who say that Dogecoin is very inflationary but in 2021 Moons were 10 times more inflationary: **in 2021, total supply of Moons went up by more than 50%!** (from 86 669 639 in Round 8 to 132 475 902 in round 21. Disclaimer: this does not take into account how many Moons were burned/lost). > > This year, supply inflation of Moons will be at around 25%. Even if many of them are burned or lost, Moons will remain a highly inflationary token for some time. > > **FEW USE CASES** > > As of now, the use-cases of Moons are rather limited. Their main purpose is **voting in Governance Polls** but, as mentioned above, those polls are pre-selected by mods who, in reality, also hold more voting power than users. > > The other uses of Moons include **tipping**, **redeeming** them for Reddit coins or **buying** a Special Membership. From those three, only tipping is useful. Special Membership costs 1 000 Moons which is more than $50 as of 26.01.2022. But there’s an option to pay with fiat and it costs $5. This makes buying memberships with Moons useless. > > **SPECIAL MEMBERSHIP IS FALSELY ADVERTISED** > > As mentioned above, you can buy a Special Membership with Moons. It is marketed by Reddit that such purchase burns Moons. However, those **Moons aren’t really burned**. [They’re taken out of circulation for some time and reintroduced later on](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pfxa4t/comment/hb7s2kl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). > > **MOON FARMERS AND CHEATERS** > > Moons engage users’ participation but much of this participation has only one goal – earning Moons. This often results in **low quality posts, spamming** of simple and pointless comments or even **breaking the rules** of the sub. > > In September, it was revealed by r/LazyMoons that [one user farmed Moons on at least 5 accounts](https://np.reddit.com/r/LazyMoons/comments/pjd7kh/expose_uhame_bih_and_uobito_dos3_are_the_same/). On one occasion, he even managed to max out karma on two different accounts! As a result, he was able to earn a [massive number of Moons](https://np.reddit.com/r/LazyMoons/comments/pjd7kh/expose_uhame_bih_and_uobito_dos3_are_the_same/hbvutxo/?context=3) in illegal way. > > **DOWNVOTING** > > How many Moons each and every user gets depends not only on his/her personal karma but also on other users’ karma. There’s a fixed number of Moons distributed in each round and it’s divided by the total karma earned by all users. So, the more karma users earn, the lower is the distribution ratio. > > This prompts some people to downvote other users in order to push the ratio higher. They probably believe that this way they will receive more Moons themselves, however, their actions have barely any impact on the ratio. But they have have impact on other users who often feel discouraged of participating in r/cc. > > r/cc is also a sub with [one of the lowest numbers of upvotes per post](https://subredditstats.com/r/CryptoCurrency). Even posts with an overwhelmingly positive feedback usually have a small number of upvotes compared to the number of comments. This, again, discourages people who provide the sub with high quality content as they aren't rewarded enough compared to those who e.g. produce witty comments. > > **CHAOS AND CONFUSION CAUSED BY CONSTANT RULE CHANGES** > > Every 4 weeks Governance Proposals are voted on. They sometimes have the potential of changing the subreddit (and its rules) in a substantial way. Many of them are/were made because of Moons and users who try to exploit the system. In 2021, there were so [many changes](https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/ccip_list) made, that redditors found it hard to stay updated on the rules. If it wasn't for Moons, those changes wouldn't have happened. > > **MOONS WILL BECOME JUST ONE OF MANY OTHER PROJECTS** > > Reddit [announced](https://www.reddit.com/community-points) that it wants more subreddits to use Community Points. More subreddits will surely launch their Community Points projects in the future. This might include the most popular subreddits. There’s a risk that Moons might then become less attractive and be overtaken by other token(s). > > **YOU CANNOT HIDE HOW MANY MOONS YOU HAVE** > > The [rules](https://old.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/wiki/expanded_rules#wiki_rule_vi_-_personal_information) of r/cc advise redditors to not disclose information about their portfolios. However, Moons are always displayed next to a username. The only way to hide them is to send them to another address or create an alt account and send them there. However, those transactions can be tracked on blockchain. Also, if you don’t hold your Moons in your vault, you lose your voting power during polls. > > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > > Moons are certainly a unique and promising project. But the project has many flaws and risks attached to it. It’s still in an experimental phase and can be abandoned by Reddit at any time. The main imperfection of Moons is that they’re heavily centralized. ***** Would you like to learn more?

New bull run will be kicked off by MOONS mainnet, you heard it here first.

Oneloff

So a better version of DOGE?! Got it! 😂 Yeah it should have a utility, but looking at how even buttcoin got some traction the odds don’t seem that bad for MOONS.

tallglassofmike

Don’t forget your 281 MOONS 😂

Pale_Coyote_2745

What was the website that counts your MOONS please?

partymsl

Everything is transitory. But at the end our MOONS will stay with us.

andy33theone

Don’t listen to most of these fools here, some are 30+ posting gifs on an Internet forum for some MOONS

Months After Shilling $1 MOON, u/jhnvslb Says MOONS Bullish AF

Wow finally MOONS are being listed on Binance. . . Jk.

Onelinersandblues

Here’s one you haven’t heard in a while: Ready? WEN MOONS

metamec

Damn. The exact time I finish work and no I am not staying behind in the hope of 650 MOONS. I'll just cry when MOONS become as valuable as BTC.

deaddoll_x

I think they first just be accepted by Reddit as currency. As in, 1,000 MOONS = 1 Silver Award or something.

myhaxdontwork

Any update regarding the deployment of MOONS onto Arbitrum?

ieatmoondust

Ok so maybe we didn't win 25k MOONS....but we can still win a few every single day just hangin' out in r/cc being pals.

Bringerofsalvation

Honestly? I’d be stoked with just 1$ MOONS. And that’s not too far fetched in a bull run imo.

DerpJungler

MOONS may be a shitcoin BUT ITS OUR SHITCOIN

meowstromeowt

Will you raise my MOONS as a single mother ?

1fsij

Give MOONS

moonkingdome

You forgot MOONS ruined this reddit.. You can get 1000+ upvotes and lose it in 10 minutes for no reason..people arent open. They just want the moon news.. Ok this reddit has moons. But there are moon free/better places.

HiCarumba

Whats the dealio with MOONS???? They going up in price while everything is going down? Is this the monthly thing before they get distributed? Or are..... WE GOING MAINNET!!!!

sabertoothless

In MOONS thou shall believe

pyritejet

If I were a whale, I'd accumulate BTC, ETH, and MOONS

patoshinakamoto

And why the hell has the special membership in r/CC quadrupled since I bought it......THEY'RE STEALING MY MOONS!!!

nthgen

I dunno. I think this is overblown. MOONS are optional. They're not required to be a part of this sub and if a new user misses out, so be it. They'll still be all warm and fuzzy when they eventually get moons. Bad timing is a part of life.

RotgutFeng

Stares at MOONS nervously

Extra bullish on MOONS now!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Elrondarius

Wow. I have never seen more MOONS than that.

FreePrinciple270

So 2 months ago a user posted, "100 MOONS says SOL hits $200 before June 2022." I agreed to the bet, they confirmed it, and I set a reminder for today. Clicked on the reminder link and it says the user deleted their account.

beklog

MOONS lol

MrNobody8080

I remember I cashed out around 10K MOONS when it was around 0.13 $ - took my kid to Legoland and had an amazing day with the family! - Zero regrets! :) 

ArtyHobo

What is the highest price for MOONS you anticipate you'll see in your lifetime?

NotRyanPoles

You forgot the most important, MOONS! 🌝

Castr0-

ALGO, MOONS and ONE are my choice

JONUTUNIVERSALU

Imagine if all these LUNA gamblers turned to the real lunar superiority MOONS

juunhoad

MOONS mainnet is gonna kick off the next bull run /s

Real_Beautiful_1691

Seeing my precious MOONS below $.05 breaks my heart.

GreenStretch

Kraken doesn't carry it, but has a page on it, as they do for MOONS. It's really a private corporate network at the moment although there are plans to make it public. https://www.kraken.com/en-us/learn/what-is-hedera-hashgraph-hbar

Maxx3141

I have seen BTC and ETH, I hope you go for one of those. But because this is Reddit I must say something stupid: MOONS

Smart_Field_3002

Hey, please excuse this comment. Just knew today that aside from the MOONS as reward, I need to be at least promoted to Bronze from Tin to earn the flairs with the count of cryptocurrencies subreddits post you made. That’s the reason for this comment again 🤣

newbonsite

What upcoming crypto projects most excite you ? And also what's your thoughts on our sub's MOONS ,do you think when/if mainnet comes you would consider listing them on your exchange ...

Clash_My_Clans

If you have to time then please look into this sub reddit token called MOONS, I will send you some moons just in case you're interested in listing them, no pressure CZ 😉

Onelinersandblues

Update on the birthday present bought with MOONS: There was a cash leftover = DCAd into CKB&ROSE&GALA This is what I call a square deal

tallglassofmike

My highest MOONS distribution yet 👏 with 726!

MOONS mainnet will trigger the next bull run /s

*The butterfly in my hand:* _MOONS ALMOST $.05_ *Me:* _is this gains?_

PathologicalUpvoter

The MOONS are coming! The MOONS are coming! Hopefully we get alotta moons!!!

CharlieFisch

I have 7 MOONS, am I rich?

Lobster_Messiah

Your r/cryptocurrency MOONS vault, the native cryptocurrency of r/cryptocurrency. Might as well earn some for comments/posts. Start now and take advantage of the next mania phase.

I expect big things for MOONS on next bull run. Been piling up

Legacy-ZA

Or convince every BTC holder to relocate their funds to MOONS. :)

Hungry_Pancake

I'm holding on to my MOONS for 10 years

partymsl

If LUNA can go to zero. MOONS can go to 100$ too.

garthack

How do you earn MOONS?

BradVet

ETH, VET, ALGO, LRC, LTO, MOONS. I’ll be buying all of these into the next bullrun

Oneloff

Who cares about BTC, whats that anyway? MOONS is what we want!

EvgenyRosso

In MOONS

RogerWilco357

But you have MOONS so don't even worry about it.

BDM-Archer

Hopefully MOONS so that people using /r/cc as their personal blog for posting random shower thoughts can knock it off.

Randrufer

A lot of people believed in LUNA and you know where those people are now? They're on the phone. MOONS are the way. They're worth nothing, but they have the highest potential of anything I've ever seen. The next crypto-wave will be even bigger and people will come back here, NEW people with 0 moons. You know how many moons we'll have by then? And you know what one moon will be worth by then? They'll make Moon a stable coin. I can feel deep inside me!

SammyCraigar

Working everyday, not posting as nearly as I should. Solid ratio, MOONS are so lighthearted, can't get enough of the little fellas.

your_grammar_is_shit

The MOONS. I hope everyone with less than 75% BTC/ETH is getting wrecked now. FTM, LRC, HAHAHAHAHAH

jhnvslb

MOONS holding up better than my other crypto and stocks rn

tomkim1965

Should we do research or NOT? If you’re going to make a shitty post about advice you should at least be a little bit more clear about that advice.But we all know this has nothing to do with advice and a lot to do with MOONS.

AncientAd6139

LUNA joining our precious MOONS soon at this rate

MatheusBIGG

Ok ok, BTC, ETH, SOL, ADA, ALGO, Shit.. all of them are down. But there's something UP, my love for MOONS. HODL

ATH - Always Taste Her FOMO - Fuck Otters, Monkeys, Owls. FUD - Fuck Under Duvets MOONS - a shit currency that you think will make you a millionaire when its one dollar each, but won't.

Odlavso

What is ATH, FOMO, FUD, MOONS and other things I had to learn along the way. Some post were so confusing without knowing the crypto phrases at first.

You can buy a lot of pizza with your MOONS bag :)

dexmerty

Is there any good news about MOONS? I was away from crypto for awhile, trying to catch up! Thanks

DBRiMatt

BAT and MOONS. Pure profit xD

Shinjirojin

Jesus Christ MOONS have really become worthless haven't they

CryptoNerdSmacker

Someone this unhinged has 1.01 million MOONS. Tells you everything you need to know about this subreddit.

active_ate

That's what makes this also an excellent time to harvest MOONS while hype is low.

Mudhutted

Wrong friend. HERE COME THE MOONS.

Activate your vault to earn MOONS!

I've tipped and have been tipped MOONS.. I've tipped and have been tipped BAN.. I've also been tipped BCH and DOGE .. The crypto community can be very generous and I feel tipping is one of the best ways of promotion...
