That is why it would be important to set the number of cbux to be released NOW, instead of just promising he will "burn" anything left of the billion he will create. I have a feeling when he announces how many he is giving himself, interest will fade, so he will avoid setting the numbers until the project launches.
He said that he will receive the same amount as everyone else based on the rules he made. Amount of bitcoins on that particular block and the total amount of merits plus all earned merits etc.
What I dont understand is how can he guarantee or promise that the price of the token will be $1. It is not really that easy is it?
