basic-lee if it splits into smaller holders it would be better rather than one kat getting all the coins this way the for-chin is diversified , split up among a lot of people or bidders , making the potential for the coins to go more liquid and back into the economy as they will sell off at different times at different prices,. Ross shore was holding a bunch , and all and all, a -tun- of people are sitting on coins. a-waiting the next rise ? (maybe the HALF-ING?).. if one person gets all the coins they could sit on them for a untold time and dimension like Tim draper may be as he bought in around 650 = price ,. send this thing to the moon all ready or above $1000 its jest you will need a major frenzy! maybe HALF-ing a lot of buying selling trading e.c.t. holding seems to stagnate the price ? MT GOX manipulated the market someone get there hands on this technology and drive the price skyward as MT GOX did , china , e.c.t..... peace ,,...

The last one didn't seem to have much or any effect. It'll be the same for this.

It was made up of several investors. I dunno how many were big swinging dicks, but it's worth asking. Most have guessed that they went for sub the market price. |
