unless they are undoubtfully bringing enormous benefits for iota (adoption from decisive worldwide iot companies) i don't think this is an honest proposal.
Very probably that is the case. They would do more to promote iota proportionally to their stake than most of us are capable of. I dont think David would even consider it if it wasnt the case.
OK maybe. So David let tell us about more detail then. This give blindly is not appropriate. It is not hard to tell more basic detail.
No one is giving blindly, you are pledging/not freely if you see the value in potentially having some of the biggest names tied to crypto who operate in the real world.
Okay, well that is no answer so I sit out. Too bad.
This is more an answer and tell more than anything else:
worldwide iot companies dont give a shit about 250.000$, which is more or less the price of the 25mio at the moment
If they are such big deal they don't need to pinch penny.
100% your choice, just don't complain about lost opportunities.
