Hoping the Iconomi team would shed some light some the alpha testers.
I mean if their ICN holders and knew they were postponing what's stopping them from dumping before hand? That's insider trading, hoping some clarification on that from the team.
It's difficult to avoid "insider trading" in crypto. Too many people get to know things in advance.
You can't really look at it in the same way as with the stock market, either, from a legal standpoint.
I would say if anybody has an ethical issue with unfair trading, then crypto is not the best place for them.
No offence intended to you, though.
Even if somebody on the inner circle doesn't use info to their advantage, there's nothing to stop them tipping off friends etc. instead.
