They must be rich. €50 * 50000 XLF = €2 500 000. Rijk made a lot of money from the promised airdrop premine but I don't think people care because the price is high and only going higher. I would only be upset if I put all my coins in a holding account expecting the airdrop but investors and traders will be happy and you can't keep everyone happy.
At the time that the premine was sold and handed over to other people, the course of the price was around 3 euro. So these investors didnt pay 50 x 50000 xfl.
So you're whole calculation is wrong
The premine is 45000 not 50000 and obviously an investor will not buy them above marketprice in such a deal. So the market price of the premine was around 120.000 euro , so not a lot of money.
" I would only be upset if I put all my coins in a holding account expecting the airdrop"
Well, since no single detail was ever released on the specifics of the airdrop, that is kind of the own decision of the people to lock everything up with a long locking period...
And if they did: every holding reward they score from those accounts is now worth how many % more than before the situation changed?
if Rijk sold out for 120.000 euro then this whole plan of get rich quick for no effort with the exception of Malcolm revolves around the Gulden development reward taking care of all costs for both coins! Maybe the new investors will get clever and help increase the Gulden price because
the Gulden dev reward is worth far more then 120.000 euro. if Rijk manages to have his cake and eat it, well good for him.
