10k foundation
10k deal

On the matter about donating/ investing or not: Do you want Iota to have the chance of becoming a succesfull Iot project? If you want to be in on this chance, I suggest to participate. I know for sure that if we all sit on our Iota nothing will happen and the token will be useless.

Remember the 10k pizza? If these guys did not distribute bitcoin and give other people a piece of the pie, bitcoin would not have evolved into what it is now.

By the way I think yassin should also be included as a member of the foundation. He is putting a lot of time and effort in Iota, a valuable member!

i can hardly understand why selling "cheaper" iota to a "group of ~~priviledged~~ investors" would be the key to iota's success.

first of all, iota's success will depend on it being functional, useful and thus adopted.

i doubt that "priviledged investors granted with lower risk + under market price subsidies" will be more dedicated to the community than the rest of us who arrived at the begining, and put our faith in iota, assuming higher risks, and striving for it to become the "reality" that it "is" now.

after all, these "new piviledged users" will have a much lower selling price than some of the "second generation" users, who bought iota with otc prices. it seems unfair.

unless they are undoubtfully bringing enormous benefits for iota (adoption from decisive worldwide iot companies) i don't think this is an honest proposal.

please, let us know more details.
