Network Effects That Govern the BUY Token

The Network Effects that underlie Buying.com's BUY token's adoption and utility

 According to Wikipedia, Metcalfe's law states that the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2). This law was initially linked to the usage of phones. For instance, if there were only 1 phone user in the telecommunications sphere, it was useless as there would be no one to call. With 2 phone users, each party had at least one person to talk to. In this manner, if the number of users in the ecosystem increased, it increased the number of transactions. The same laws govern the social media markets, so much so that the valuation of companies in that space is directly correlated to the number of users in the network. 

Positive network effects enable an enterprise to exponentially increase the number of transactions. "At the heart  of our platform and the BUY token, is this concept of network effects," says Jean Gabriel, CEO of Buying.com. "We are constantly trying to add more users to our platform in the form of consumers and businesses so that it increases the number of transactions," added Gabriel.

Just as Amazon.com first began with books and soon expanded to other categories in E-Commerce, Buying.com plans to branch out from its initial food delivery aggregation core. "Network effects do not happen accidentally. They are planned and one needs to take measured steps that would provide ecosystem participants more reasons to interact with one another," stated Raghu Bala, CEO of NetObjex, a Buying.com technology partner. "The BUY token is initially being targeted for the Food services segment, but its utility value can exponentially grow with greater adoption across all branches of retail," added Mr. Bala.
