I think that we need to stop arguing about BTC holders getting their share of the airdrop. For everyone who is worried about a new snapshot being taken for all Bitcoin holders...you should know that there is nothing keeping anyone of us from buying additional Bitcoin and holding it in our wallets. We not only will get part of the drop from holding BTC in our wallets, in addition, we will get our share for being BTX holders and then we'll continue to get the 3% airdrops thereafter. The new snapshot is not a bad thing. Many of you probably already have BTC. Just put it in your wallet and sit back and relax.

If you want more BTX and you don't have any BTC sitting around, then you can buy additional BTC and keep it in your wallet. However, considering the current price of BTC, you'll be much better off buying more BTX and getting a larger airdrop.

Not at all... Have you not been reading the thread at all? Who is going to buy BTC so that you can get .4 BTX per 1 BTC? That is spending 3700 dollars to get something that is worth 5 dollars. The real reason for my plan is to reward early adopters like they were tentatively promised and to distribute out the coins at a fairly quick pace so that it brings legitimacy to the project. The devs would still be in control of 8 million coins under their plan and that still doesn't look that good to most new people that discover this coin. It has the appearances of a scam coin even though we know it isn't but appearances are everything. Hell I think my plan is a great compromise since it still drops to BTC holders but it rewards us a little more. Additionally you still can continue the 3% airdrops for a while for promotional purposes and as a check on people dumping the coin. I swear it seems pretty decent to me. This would get us on a larger exchange in no time.

"If you want more BTX and you don't have any BTC sitting around, then you can buy additional BTC and keep it in your wallet. However, considering the current price of BTC, you'll be much better off buying more BTX and getting a larger airdrop." You should read the entire post before commenting.

Also, if you look back in the thread, you'll most likely learn that I made a proposal before you came up with yours. My initial proposal involved increasing the percentage of the airdrops each month rather than a large payout. It's quite interesting to see how so many people have taken that part of my plan and then made it their own. However, the devs have made a great argument about the importance of adoption by getting Bitcore into the hands of BTC holders. I think it makes perfect sense. My concern was that there would be a major payout/dump of the remaining coins, but now that I understand that the 3% will continue, I am willing to see out their plan. Granted, I believe that a lower percentage payout with an increased airdrop percentage would help to drive more people to BTX, I'm fine with their plan as it stands.

Everyone here is trying to play the role of the "backseat driver". If any of us were really that intelligent, we'd create our own coins. Let the devs follow their vision. It's in all of our interest that BTX gets adopted by the entire crypto world, not just us early adopters. The more popular BTX becomes the greater its value and the more wealth for all of us.

The way to greater adoption of BTX is a steady increase in the price. When it reaches the first page of Coin Market Cap, everyone will know about it and the interest for BTX will increase. I believe that the devs had thought this out fully. They've done great this far and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

The 3% still continues under my plan and the BTC holders still get their drop to gain wider acceptance. My plan literally does everything that the devs want but in some ways it does it better. It also rewards early adopters for taking the risk in investing in a newly budding coin. This is literally business 101 here. Sigh... As I have stated before there will likely be no dump after Oct 30th in my plan because you would be leaving compounding 3% weekly airdrops on the line for the following 4 months. This means a 66% increase in your holdings and as long as it coincides with good news and development of the coin then the price shouldn't be hurt even when the airdrops finally end. The price per BTX also doesn't really matter that much anyways... The real number to watch is the market cap of the coin. Additionally, BTX will never be taken seriously as long as the devs control a substantial portion of the coins. This would be the case under their plan so it is definitely not a good look to those that are new to BTX. I am not saying they are untrustworthy but appearances really are everything in this world. The part about us not being overly intelligent is a ridiculous statement. I am only a novice coder but I definitely do excel in business thinking and investments. I am working on my MBA and even with traditional investments such as stocks I had previously found a way to triple my money in 2 years. I don't want to portray myself as being a genius but I am plenty intelligent. It's just I don't have the proper expertise to make my own coin. The same can be said for any number of people here that have their own area of expertise. You shouldn't make overarching generalizations like that.

maybe he's not intelligent enough but I certainly am. I've considered on many occasions making a coin but have decided against it after seeing what DEVS have to go through to make it successful. I just don't have the time (not in my 20's with nothing to do) with a family to take care of and a business to run. Blanket statements that paint us all as imbecil's not capable of creating a coin are uncalled for.
