Korvas when they offered to buy back XPYBiTS it was50% of the price originally paid hardly a good investment but now these Atom things produce Electrons, great if you have IONS to buy stakers that's all these Electrons are doing.
Not only that you have to pay a fee up front to sell them even if they don't sell, smart move even more btc for the btc hungry project, why not allow the Atom fees to sell be paid in IONs, if you are so confident this will work then it should not be a problem
If you wanted to exit at a profit then all you needed to do was when your XBIts converted to ATOM's you auctioned them off.
Plus for every ATOM converted people received 8 Ion.
Auctioned ATOM + 8 ION = More than the value of an XBit
Bottomline is people were investing in ionomy not XPY or ION
I don't remember a 50% buyback on Xbits
Concerning the BTC fee for skins..... why not..... you don't like you don't buy. I bought some as I did the sums and it make sense for me
