http://imgur.com/a/8Hxffmain dev posting his topia balance (not cold storage) RIGHT BEFORE halving and disappearing from discord since then. the dump started immediately after that. he's not replying on discord since then.
bbye sigt?
even if he completely bailed out, his would be 1/70th of the volume of today's trading. not sure if it's enough to trigger such a massive crash.
most likely, it was caused by people taking their profits from idiots who were screaming "to the moon" all over the place.
with no pre-mine, meaning no free coin for the dev, chances are he acquired his the same way everyone else has - mined them, or bought them. he also has a right to sell, some or all of it, if he wishes - just like everyone else.
so, this means nothing... at least to me.
Considering first 1k blocks were 1.6sec block time I wouldn't particularly say 'same way everyone else has' ;p
