I agree, it will also be a good thing when the original miners (such as Satoshi himself) finally use at least some of their coins, which will have the result of better distrubting the wealth to the masses allowing it to function much more like a currency than a commodity. But here is the difference;

Explain in details how the dump of BTC in the exchange markets will result in a better distribution of wealth to the masses.

By the way, BTC is neither a commodity or a currency. For someone which praise itself as "studied" you lack the fundamental understanding of what exactly is Bitcoin.

Satoshi and the original miners have an invested interest (even if it where only based on greed) to do so in a constructive fashion, such as starting an ETF like TradeFortress had done.

Yep, great comparison you did. Do you even know that Tradefortress was running an illegal enterprise and he lost peoples funds?

I think he is confused. I think he was talk about FIG (Fortress Investment Group) with regard to their new fund (not an etf yet) and meant a vested interest vs an invested interest.

Of course, he could have meant TradeFortress, but that wasn't an etf either and as you said, he stole funds.
