... Already mentioned in another quote above but it seems that he desperately wanted more stakeholders. I wonder why the distribution was cut short then? I understand that he idolized Satoshi but to cut the IPO short just to get a nice round 21 BTC seems a bit excessive.


Nxt got through 2 of the planned 3 month 'IPO' period so, again, 'cut short' has usually been used in the past with no detail to imply that there was a sinister motive to prevent people getting involved  Cheesy Those that did their own research could follow the thread we have been quoting can see anyone had the opportunity to join for around 2 months. Not sure about the Satoshi reference, he at least didn't idolized him overtly.


The second or third post in that thread was an edit of a "reserved" post when BCNext went underground after he said someone had contacted him about Nxt, even after he had been careful with his ID and computer IP. It could be true, it could be razamataz. But it isn't important. He liked symbolism and riddles, CfB has said there are hidden references to '1984' in the Nxt algo's as well as the genesis password being the opening line from the same book. 21 was chosen as that was the number of BTC that will ever be.
