for the record and in the interests of full disclosure i am currently sat on the buy side of things, so before you cry vested interest at my comments i can confirm what i am advocating is in my interest. 

however, i believe it to be in the interest of the coin too.  someone has to fill the roles of buying and distributing and generally trading so true  price discovery can take its place and i see nothing wrong with that.. and controlling the process yourselves prevents that. everyone wants to make money including the little guys and if the risk reward ratio is not good enough for them to buy in then you find yourself in the current situation.
