...anyone who does not connect his BTC must be totally stupid...

I admit that: The marked part is polemical

You are right it is a best-case scenario. I'm just an optimist.
To fairness one should then also name the worst-case scenario: ~20 rounds of distribution - some would also make this very happy.

Important for investments is that you can live with each scenario (the optimal never occurs anyway).

Truth is, you get a dividend of 0.5% as Bitcoin holder. If you were a whale with a million $ plus in BTC, would you really care and mess up your super secure cold wallets, just to get a 0.5% dividend?

My thoughts to it:
1. Yes, it is a problem to move larger amounts of BTC. This can / will have a limiting effect.On the other hand, the ICOs reacted very flexibly.. Huh

2. Well I hope very strongly that these People (super wales) stay away. But I also believe that these wales prefer to play golf. Wink

3. This is true BTC makes for the moment only joy. The experience tells me however: If one thinks one is avant-garde one is usually already history Wink

.
The distribution offers a classic BTC holder a risk-free entry into the Altcoin market (my view).

And if you were a small fish with say 5 BTC, you would get a dividend in Byteball of 25$. 25$ is the daily volatility range of 1 BTC right now.

Everything is (maybe) true - but you get it additional without risk (if you are a holder). But maybe I understand you wrong. Your general reasoning is somehow so that it is not worth it. Better stay in bed, play golf or invest somewhere else..
Yes, you can do that too..

Let's call it what it is: Wide distribution plans via people linking their BTC are over. Now it is about pumping the value of Bytes via distribution to Byteholders. Nothing wrong with that. I think we just saw another example that a wide distribution cannot be achieved so easily. It would have been a lot better without ICO accounts in the first round. In hindsight the optimum would have been to cut out accounts with more than 250 BTC or so in the first round without announcing it previously (the shitstorm wouldnt have been so intense probably, but you gotta live with the fact that you started with a lie). And then distribute to byteholders for years from a multisig-wallet.

Perhaps it is so Roll Eyes

, but I cannot judge. I think only in max / min scenarios (see the first statement) the space between is as unknown as the weather next fall.
Everyone appreciates things differently. This is good, otherwise it would not be fun (and not interesting).

Let's talk about this in December..
