Before I invest in this coin, what guarantee do users have the development team won't be snapped up by a coin or group with money to have them develop for their coin? This coins marketcap is dreadfully low compared to the top 30 coins but the development is going to make litecoin look stupid. What if someone like a Charlie Lee bribes these guys to work for litecoin?
That's an easy one. Once you ask this question to the founder in their slack you will get your answer (painfully)
Painful as they are committed or because it's something they would do for more money?
They are committed, but you should become a loyal follower, STFU or GTFO and let them do their job, even if the price goes down the sink. I've heard quite a few investors (the real ones, the ones with lots of money and influence) ran away, multiple times, because the dev team wouldn't cooperate in getting NLG where it should be. This has been going on since NLG was launched, and I don't think things have changed over time.
Then there are the things I addressed when I was active in the community (mostly regarding legal risks around the pre-mine), I doubt those are resolved.
This explains why the marketcap is extremely low compared to the development being done. Are they anarchists and hate rich people?
Is anyone involved with the coin a Cypherpunk?
Nope, just people who want to keep the ball and play with it themselves. They raised a shitload of money last year, have the pre-mine and don't care what others think.
I won't invest more then 1 btc into this coin, only doing it because I think the development shows promise, but if you aren't approachable people don't care how good the development is. They would rather use a lesser coin and people they can communicate with.
I do fear the development team will eventually be bribed into working for a rich company that will want to create a new coin with large funding and marketing.
1 btc would make you like Bill Gates in the Gulden community. I would go onto the slack and say you purchased 1 btc worth of Gulden , people will start praising you and want your autograph.
Biomike is telling the truth it's only poor people that Rijk attracts , he has no interest in securing wealthy investors.
You have no choice but to cry because poor people will be the owners of the most advanced crypto while rich people are buying shit coins with great marketing. The crypto world is fucked up.
