I do agree on some points but I think Rijk is not turning is back on crypto community but rather protecting is project and keeping developement behind close doors! Which also gets weak hands to dump and true believers do step in and hodl. Of course not every investors is happy with this strategy.
Crypto community and big investors do not get enough visibility or insiders info to step in. Rijk is doing this because he has a long term strategy. He knows that by playing with the whales you lose partly control over your project.
I think big crypto holders know about Gulden but have been waiting on the sidelines or accumulating.
Correction, he needs to have total control over everything! That includes the community, the pre-mine, the websites, the media and hell even who gets to use the men's room. It's his party and everyone has to keep listening to his crying forever.
Whales don't like cry babies with narcist dictatorial behavior, that's why Gulden keeps dropping on CMC.
