Hi all,

I want to comment on the buymastercoin topic.
First of all - I don't know the operator of the site - I am speaking for myself only.

There are other sites like this for Bitcoin as well, you can look at:
https://www.coinmama.com/#buy
ebay, etc.

All of them are selling bitcoins for a very high rate.

I think that these sites are legit:
These sites serves as a short cut for people that just don't do or don't want to do their homework.

These kind of sites are serving a good purpose, not everyone should know the forums and trust this forum price, especially newcomers that wants to get on the train before it leaves, and don't have the time to learn.

The same thing happens in my bank as well - the interest rates for deposits are always lower than the interest rates I can get if I buy state bonds.
This is how economy works.

I also think that the mastercoin foundation didn't do any harm in publishing it. As a follower of mastercoin from its first day, I can say that they published it in mastercoin.org when nothing else was happening as a PR for mastercoin eco-system.
The Google spreadsheet was always published as well.

Just because someone (very smart I guess) is making money doesn't make him a thief.

Hope this helps.
