If you watch Bill Still's video interview with Kolin, he states exactly this, that the idea is that a 'whale' will never find enough buyers because they are well distributed.
This is a huge contradiction. The fact that there ARE such large whales as your post points out and even Pumper Bill mentions, how are these coins "well distributed"? Or are we seeing buyers well distributed (and for how long)?
Either way, keep in mind 95%+ of the entire coin yield was mined in the first 6 months and only a couple weeks ago there were people able to buy these at 0.00000040. At that price even 1 BTC would buy 2,500,000 QRK or a little over 1% of all the coins. Now at current price, someone who spent 1 BTC (bought 2.5M QRK) a couple weeks ago could ask for 2,500,000 * 0.00013630 =
340.75 BTC. At QRKs peak of 0.00030000 they could have attempted to sell for
750 BTC!!! Again, this is only off a 1 BTC investment a couple weeks ago.
Something isn't right with this picture.
Also, I think one of the reasons why accusations of scam are popping out is when a small group of people collectively own majority of the coins (keep in mind over half were mined in the first month??) they are able to regulate how much get sold and for what price. By buying from themselves at higher prices it appears there is demand at a higher price which gains the interest of momentum chasers and allows them to unload on the new investors. That's just a theory but is logically possible.
