Great summary of the current situation, Slydrule.

I am holding and have not sold a single coin. As many here probably feel the same that our hand feels "forced" to hold and receive dividends exclusively in Amber without a choice. Since that is the side that won the vote should everyone that voted for BTC also be expecting a dividend payment in Amber? If so when? Will this be the new status quo for upcoming quarters with the only way to move forward with a dividend that is in Amber?

The title of this OP should be modified so it does not read "Buy, Hold, & Get dividends in BTC/$" when it is actually not the case anymore. I hope there are plans and firm dates to get back to the original plan for upcoming quarters versus relying on this method of voting. This voting method was not in place when many here invested and now all of the sudden it is a big variable impacting many. In the beginning it was very simple....invest....get dividends as stated in the title now a whole new level of complexity is added.

We all have different opinions on this topic but I just wanted to voice mine as a shareholder.
