Quark is in the DISTRIBITION phase right now, what don't you understand. Ofcource there are wallets with bigger numbers. For real have you all even been following cryptos since BTC was worth less than $100?
Newbie here, but here's my two cents. Your explanation is somewhat believable, but I just don't see enough convincing evidence that the devs or big wallet guys have a long-term vested interest in seeing quark spread worldwide and become a household name over a few years time, when BTC and to an extend, LTC are buzzwords and growing in use. The temptation to cut and run with millions during an upturn (pump and dump as they say around here) is always going to be there, especially with Quark being almost mined out. I jumped shipped just a few hours ago with half my coins, after exhaustively spending about 14 hours reading everything I can about Quark, most of it is future speculation on the Chinese jumping on board (if they criminalized bitcoin markets, Quark is probably next on the chopping block), and a few big name dudes praising Quark here and there for publicity. It just doesn't feel right. If the Chinese don't grab it like expected, I'm cutting my losses and focusing elsewhere.
