It's your mistake if you think you can cheat hundreds of investors and succeed. No one will trust you with any of your products until you make TRST token prosper first.
I think the staking mechanism with TRST on Spring will be an integral part of Spring. It's important for the team to attempt to gain as much traction on the platform. If Spring is the go-to donation or fundraising platform then the TCR that's being implemented will be
widely used. People would want to see their favorite charity being recognized, so they'll stake TRST and vote. Compared to a lot of projects, the team is working daily on their product. If you look at their github you can see it being updated daily and even on weekends.
Voting, staking is all nothing but bullshit. All their products shouldn't be even able to function without TRST token. They sold TRST on ICO, got millions of dollars, now they have to make TRST the key part of all products they're working on.
Again, right now if all TRST would disappear nothing would change. That's why it doesn't cost shit.
