Here is a thought, and hopefully the intelligent young man is listening out there.
What if he were to distribute 50% of his Ethereum Classic holdings equally to all existing addresses as an offering to everyone who believe in the actual purpose of the technology thus reducing his ownership to 5%? I think that that gesture is more valuable than Satoshi's quite frankly. He would equally be rewarded as 10x 50% which is much more valuable than 1x 100%. He even stands the chance to become the head of the organization. I am dead serious. There are no charges that can befall him for exploiting an error that was advertised to be complete, secure and tested. Again remember the CFTC, SEC, CBOE, CBOT all told us that the Black Scholes models were complete as well. They were wrong.
Ethereum Classic will spike and Ethereum will take a VERY hard dive, eventually Classic will win in the end as immutability is the single greatest value proposition of this technology.
Full disclosure I currently own even more Ethereum Classic below $1 than I purchased initially years ago, for the second round! Thanks Vitalik and Mr. Ritchie II.
Good story here and i agree with your idea.. would be cool if he did something like that.
But what is he planning on next ?
I see this as a decentralized matter at the heart of it all.
We intend to make the most decentralized autonomous coin we can.
yet when we see a large gain by someone we want to cry for the Police (while chanting Free Market)
And then we want to have a centralized authority in charge of the coin do roll-backs or forks etc.
This is silly nonsense and really does undermine the core concept we are aiming for.
I won't budge on this issue.. and i have no motivation either way to speak up.
I never have & never will own any ETC / ETH ICO coins etc.
It's the principal to me..
I have been a massive nutcase about piracy for a decade or two now and this remind me of all that.
I was around far before there was an iTunes..
They simply seen what we File Sharing guys did and thought, Hey WOW ! What a great idea !!
Let's COPY them, steal their idea.. monetize it then declare what they are doing as illegal criminal theft
..after the fact.. EVEN if they was no ACTUAL law broken.
THEN.. they say if you don't pay money with iTunes.. then.. LOST REVENUE !
It amounts to they don't like it.. so they are saying it's a "crime"
Ohh yeah.. my Girl-Friend does not give me nearly enough BJ's.. CRIME !!! She is Robbing me !
Lost revenue ? NO ! lost fucking BJ's !!!111
She owes me about 342 gummers and i am taking her to court.
If i have to end up going to a prostitute then SHE is footing the bill dammit !
I hate Mushrooms too ..when people put them in Spaghetti sauce i want to throw up !
CRIME ...
I also am selling Bottles of my Urine with a certificate of Authenticity.. your not buying it ?
Lost revenue ..
I also sell Spoetnik Autographs for 1 BTC each.. so if you all ever bought an autograph
of some other person then i formally here & now declare this as "Lost Revenue"
You will see me in court THIEVES !
I wish i thought of making the internet first.. so well.. i am saying i did anyway.
For now on you all have to pay $50 a month to use the web or i will call the cops.. THEFT !
Lost revenue ..
Pay me or i am taking my ball & going home
