There is nothing good about this.
You need to buy KCS in order to be able to buy bitcoin with that discount.
They are basically paying for you to buy their shitcoin and pump its value.
This is moral and ethically wrong, and also has consequences for KCS holders.
it's not that bad. it's essentially a buyback program. they are putting up 150 BTC to buy back KCS from holders.
it seems like a win-win for kucoin users. if you don't hold KCS, you can buy it to get a discounted 0.075 BTC---it's really unlikely that price will pump beyond the 90% discount. if you already hold KCS, you can trade it for a discounted 0.075 BTC.
the only ones left holding the bag = kucoin. they're paying a pretty steep price for peoples KCS.
Additionally, some questions naturally shows up: is Kucoin really safe? Do they have the liquid to withdrawal all that btc with 90%?
the "flash sale" is limited to 150 BTC total. i sure hope they enough liquidity for that.
