Honestly speaking. I own both coins. I have less vior I am going to be honest. As I really am a long time kore supporter. Even with this I am not in support of this merger. Kore has just recently stabilized. And if the vior community wants kore then why not just sell vior and buy kore? I am not in fav of taking a hit on Kore I dont see us benefiting but just taking a price hit.
may be short-term you are right, but even that I am not fully sure. You had your quick rise to 11k two days ago, now price is back to 6k teritory and probably we have not seen it all yet. Long-term you are definitely wrong, as KORE would be losing quite a lot of potential users. Not all people who hold VIOR will be willing to sell it now at loss in first place. Secondly, once they got BTC, why they should choose KORE, before choosing any other coin? You tell me.
To speaking for myself, I prefer to just collect BTCs for selling my VIORs. I do that whole time started yesterday. No dumping, only make little sell orders, so I get something if we cannot join with KORE. I can switch my VIOR to KORE even lower ratio, example 4:1 or 5:1. So if we cannot switch coins, there might be one people, who is not interested to invest KORE. More people in the bigger the project are.
