There is no motive. Any other month in 2013 would have made more sense. He would be insanely crazy to dump coins at such a low price when it was 30k satoshis only a few weeks earlier.
Exactly. Why would any sane person dump like that at current prices unless they stole the coins and didn't care about holding them. Baritus could have sold out ages ago especially when dgc hit 0.0009 BTC a few months ago and many times over if he wanted to anyway. Why would he even bother spending so much time on CryptoAve to then cut and run by dumping a whole heap of dgc now? Its just ridiculous speculation on the part of some. He has given a perfectly logical explanation which makes alot more sense than the fairy tales some ppl seem to enjoy telling here.
Omg, use your imagination. Not saying that any of this is true but these are all possible scenarios:
1. Market manipulation. Dump a large amount of coins, cause a crash and buy them back cheaper
2. He has personal troubles and desperately needs money
3. He lost interest in DGC, sick of waiting for DGC's rise
4. There is a new coin coming
...
1. Anyone but the dev is more likely to try market manipulation. It's way too risky for him. DGC was once down to 3000 satoshis and Baritus knows how hard it was to get the price back up to ten times as high.
2. Good point. Why not just sell 100-200k dgc in small amounts time after time. Noone minds if he needs to liquidate money. He could have just sold and that's his good right. But doing it this way harming your own currency (repeatedly) is a most idotic move.
3. Yeah, that's why he just spent months to code an entire exchange on his own.
4. He puts all his efforts into DGC for a year to drop it like a hot potato?
The only possible reason I see for not to give a transaction id is not wanting future coins and other addresses to be followed, hiding that he might have lots more coins than 500k (which isn't unlikely as price hit a bottom of 3k satoshis a few months back), or protecting his own identity.
