Well Satoshi's coins are a totally different thing than CLAM's undug coin for a number of reasons. For one, Satoshi's coins are very likely controlled by one person. That one person knew the value of his/her coins all along and had every opportunity to sell some or all. Because these coins have not moved in all this time, it is safe to assume they will never move. Clearly Satoshi does not have access to the coin, or simply has no great need/desire for money. Could it happen? Sure it could. But the risk is quite low considering those facts.

CLAMs undug coins are "maybe" lost? Maybe in the hands of random people who have never heard of CLAM thru all the evangelism and scouring the net trying to get free money by getting private keys? Maybe many are in the hands of a few singular individuals who ran some type of scam/script/exchange/casino where they had tons and tons of funded private keys? We have no idea who owns them, or what the intentions of those unknown people who find them. Again, I loved the initial distribution and thought it did a great job spreading CLAM to the masses in a seemingly fairly way, evangelizing crypto owners, etc. But I think those great effects have now passed and now we are left with just negative effects. Now we have some massive potential supply granted to people on an arbitrary date which may or may not ever see the market, but will be a drag on the market forever. And we are keeping them around for reasons that make no sense to me.




I agree 100%. CLAM is an amazing coin. How much better would it be if we can take away some of the headwinds? All great coins adapt.
