It's a scam.
I made a serious study, paid for it with my POW mined BTC. I wonder why we do not discuss about the BTC at the beginning of 2010 was CPU mined with few of peoples? Why make BTC more than 40x within a few months after appear at Mt.Gox? Are you affirm, the BTC is scam?? Why a huge amounts of BTC owned by early adopters? It can be easily proved watching on these accounts. Some of it own 1 million BTC. I think they have done a very bad publicity for the 7 billion people living on earth. Maybe it was a bad distribution? Do you really think, the BTC is a scam? Really?
I made a serious chart relating to distribution. There I bring in the 4th option because you changed the rules. Please study it very seriously.
I will try to help you the best that I can. You chart was fun - well done.
Firstly the poll. You're an Iota investor so the 4th option isn't really for you. You may as well choose the 2nd option since you of course think it is okay to sell your tokens to people for 3000% increase. You are by your own admission an iota NXT2 investor.
Secondly this board did not exist upon the release of bitcoin so how can you make comparison to an ico which I affirm did not do enough to advertise itself on this board compared to other big ICOs on here like ethereum, nem, maid, lisk.
You are trying to employ a tactic many of those do who want to justify poor initial distribution on this board ... Making some reference to the other 7 billion people. This is of course unreasonable verging on impossible unless you had unlimited funds for marketing and even then it would take huge amounts of time and planning. We have to be reasonable.
To reach the other 7 billion people would prove almost impossible and of course they would not perhaps be interested even if told about the release of a crypto coin.
This can not be compared to reaching out on this forum with a few sig campaigns, main board announcements to people that are already crypto enthusiasts. The very same forum you are running the ico in a sub section. The same board you are spamming the main section with iota threads now.
Please don't make ridiculous comparisons in the hope of justifying an under advertised ico that is open to rife manipulation.
Stick to trying to sell you 130 sats tokens for 4000 sats. I don't blame you for trying.
I wouldn't keep bumping this thread though. It makes you seem almost anti iota. The facts are plain.
1. Iota did not advertise at all well compared to other big ico's
2. It raised a tiny amount compared to the big ico's
3. It has not released yet on exchages and is already trying to command gains on ico price greater than ethereum has reached even now.
4. It's success relies up creating a processor that intel and amd can't create.
5. It is currently having pump threads made in the main section -will iota be top 5, will iota be 10000 sats etc etc by blatant pumpers who own iota already
6. It's from the same people that made NXT and did the exact same thing before.
7. The only thing iota can say in it's defense is - butthurt, sour grapes, envy and that Bitcointalk does not matter because others will not know about the poor initial distribution outside of the board.
8. It is held by a tiny tiny tiny % of the board and is not even on exchange(this means you can control supply whilst trying to create demand) perfect for pumping
9. The entire concept of dag could have consensus issue according to some experts.
10. The ico price was 130sats - they are now claiming (with nothing to show for this raise) it is worth 3000-4000sats.
Let's just let the thread die out and stop spamming the main board. I am tired of repeating these facts over and over.
Release the coin on exchange and make it useful then we can see about perhaps 500% returns not the 3000% to 4000% you lot are already demanding.
Less pumping more releasing to exchange and seeing how it goes. Let's forget the fact the distribution is so narrow and see how it does when it is actually released into the wild.
It does not matter how many funny graphs you make nor how many times you say those that dont own iota are butthurt you can not change the facts I have now listed for you. So face those facts and get on with releasing it on exchange. Stop pumping demand whilst holding back supply. These are scam tactics.
