In essence, he s been centralizing CLAM digging big time. One person who can influence the market whatever way he wants.
I don't think so. He had hundreds of thousands of CLAM, and has been steadily selling it on poloniex to whoever wants to buy it. That should have a decentalising effect on the coin. The only problem is that almost everyone who buys from him ends up putting the coins on Just-Dice, and so no decentralisation happens.
Well, again, it all comes down to patience, if you believe in something, all you need to do is wait. But I have to admit, this development does make me restless. I did buy most of my CLAM at 2x this current price and now when I realize one single person can affect the market this much, I start to wonder if my CLAM involvement was a good idea or not.
I think it's always going to be the case that a coin with such a small market cap can be easily pushed around by someone with sufficient wealth. The market cap of CLAM is less than a million dollars, which is tiny in comparison with Bitcoin, say. In CLAM's case things are made worse due to the initial distribution, which gave huge numbers of coins to people with big messy wallets.
