We want people to use it... not hoarding it all hoping it pumps to the moon so they can dump and walk away from it's corpse with a fistful of dollars.
Yes, this is the current Zeitgeist in cryptos nowadays. Nobody is interested in any coins except for the rise in price which would allow them to dump on some bagholder. Because it must be clear that people who want to sell high they'd be just happy to screw people who would buy the peak before the price tanking again. So all what "investors" want is just to be able to walk away with more money they had when they walked in, and whatever happens to the coin and to whom will hold it after them is totally irrelevant to them.
This being said, in the place of the dev I'd take the community of Byteball holders, no matter how detached from the spirit of the coin they might be, in some consideration nevertheless.
