''Wow'' wonder what Tim draper will be doing

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 first one gave quite a few people the willies. The last one didn't seem to have much or any effect. It'll be the same for this.

A SecondMarket syndicate got most of them last time. 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.
