Just the fact that they are able to buy in a large chunk, which would be a hassle to do on an exchange is bending over for these guys enough.
exactly my thoughts.
No, it's called negotiation and business, we stand to gain more immediately than they do from this deal. I don't get why this is so hard for people to comprehend in this speculation thread.
Just to put the absurdity of this into perspective in layman terms: Do you guys also think that Puma went up to Usain Bolt like: "We know we stand to gain a ton by your association and involvement with our brand, but you'll have to buy all your clothes at retail for full price"?
Here is the facts: if enough iotas is not pooled together at a satisfactory value for them, the deal won't happen. If the community don't see enough value in such a huge deal, that is 100% their right and would indicate to me that they got some extraordinary plans up their sleeve which make them confident that we don't need such important key partnership and I wish them good luck while I'll sit back and wait for their huge announcement.
So... 50 mil to foundation and 25 mil to a big deal ?
