I worry that if I offer a "safer" way for big players to invest then a small number of very big investors will come in and destroy the yield for the current investors, effectively forcing them to either dangerously increase the amount they're risking per roll, or to pull out completely.
Why should these whales get a safer way to invest? If they don't trust you they can go away.
Also if they keep coins locally and the site ruins badly one week, only the investors who trust you will get burned. These lucky whales from the 1 cent days will simply run and leave us to burn.
My vision for the site was as a community of small investors together building a decent sized bankroll for themselves and others to play against. Not as a money-making scheme for a small number of already-rich bitcoin millionaires.
Thanks dooglus, this is what attracted me and many others to the site too. If whale investment becomes a priority then we will be forced out. The downside is that you will be beholden to one or two millionaires and they can start dictating once they have driven the smaller fish out.
The way I see it, if they don't trust you they can invest somewhere else.
