So if Placebo does a bounty for 30k GROW and I toss in 7.5k, then that's 37500. 2.5% of coin supply to a developer to get GROW on Bittrex.
Indeed, and that can be worth a lot more then what people will give in BTC. Think of it. A $100k coin would result in $2.5k for the new DEV. Even a $50k coin (and that happens a lot) will result in $1.250 for the new DEV. I believe that is more then enough to be motivated.
And if Barry is a men then he will give half of his easy earned BTCs to the new DEV.
