What professional investors want to buy at these higher prices and lockup for 1 year weighted average when the insider whales (who mined nearly at no cost) have many millions of SP they can dump on the market in 104 weekly installments.
You shouldn't be asking this: There are professional investors who are buying the ethereum clusterfuck up to 1bn and beyond, which has just a tiny percentage of use cases compared to a mass-appeal social network/content platform.
Also look at that: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-venture-capital/
Circle: 136mn VC funding
bitFlyer: 34mn
vogogo: 21mn
21 inc: 121mn
coinbase: 106mn
etc etc
Tell me, would you ever give something like 100mn+ to an exchange like ...coinbase?
I mean wtf. People are like "shut up and take my money" because it's "bitcoin/blockchain" etc etc.
