Looks like you have no idea about the microstructure of markets, you should do you home work on Money Velocity Effects on Price discovery:

Getting listed in bigger exchanges has absolutely nothing to do with Money Velocity effect on price discovery.
Otherwise you can cite academic researches that prove getting listed in bigger exchanges will do just that.
Please don't use random occurrences as some scientific fact.

"Getting listed in bigger exchanges will spike the price" is as FALSE as "stock split will make the price go higher".
They come true NOT because they are driven by validity, but by self-fulfilling prophecy.
And here you are trying to say self-fulfilling prophecy is valid by quoting money velocity, which is total BS.

By the way, have you ever really gone thru the 3 links you provided?
Because they have nothing to do with money velocity, and they have nothing to do with getting listed in bigger exchanges.

Look, here's the real deal.
Bittrex cannot list PPT (and many other ICO tokens) because they don't want to list tokens that behave like securities that may imply investments (even though they have no problem listing currencies).
So you can either sell all your PPT or shut up about Bittrex listing (because such listing will never come).
You are barking at the wrong tree here.

You are correct inasmuch regarding price spikes from listing PPT on larger exchanges, but the reason why is not due to factors you raised, PPT is not a security, no dividends are paid, read the business plan: http://populous.co/media/Business_Plan_Populous_final.pdf

5.2.1 Buyback mechanism
The buyback mechanism serves a few purposes. Firstly, the buyback mechanism acts as an indicator that
the platform has generated enough working capital to repurchase the tokens and utilize a portion of the
cash and cash equivalent. Upon the buyback, there will be fewer tokens available in circulation, which
enables easier transactions with the PPT in the platform as there will be lesser congestion in the
network.

Illustration of the buyback mechanism
The buyback mechanism is illustrated with the following simplified example:
Imagine there is 10,000 PPT in circulation where you own 100, each valued at 1$, giving market cap of
$10,000. Assume that every 100 PPT lets you generate $10 per year for investing in invoices and every
year from Y2 onwards, 1000 PPT is bought back and destroyed.

When the platform becomes open source, this is when larger exchanges will become available to PPT.
