I'm in this business for profit, too. The profit comes from the sales of the product, here it is a new cryptocurrency.
In blockchain world, there is technology and need for managing the coin by the community, which is so called "democracy".
For BTCZ it was the main value and a magnet for common people, then whales - because the idea is naturally growing a stable foundations, which are most wanted on this market by investors. Transparent democracy coin ("By the people for the people") was what most of us bought as a product. As it occurs there is a gap between this message and what is done and rather what is not done. Also there are cases that prove this (not following the voting decisions, not letting some decisions to be voted and terrorizing other community members by misusing the power of being able to decide over who is present at the community space).
Some bigger investors were ignored because two guys said they will get too much share and tell them what to do.... crazy but ok....however after few months they accept 10BTC and tell us that was a will from the investor to get onto some little know exchange and ignoring by this the voting (people voted for other exchange)
Where is the logic? Everybody who looks at this for a while just thinks how to get away and secure his assets.
I understand that kind of truth may be like a punch in a face for someone. I have been attacked from many sides pushing this discussion to the level of my personal problems.Developers never answered any serious questions by ignoring them and just insulting other side. I personally know a few american jewish investors who sold out quite big % of the whole cap back in march. Their comment was "nobody serious will touch this".
