Do you really know how much of what you had there?
I had thought I had none or almost none BiTCoin there until they let us in to look; it turned out the tiny bit of BiTCoin I had had as buy-sides for my IXC and I0C there does not seem so tiny after all these years...

Plus just possibly the more folk who insist they still want their IXC and I0C the more chance they will give it back rather than just steal it themselves?
Also the sheer fact of not knowing what was going to happen to all the IXC and I0C there has for years discouraged building up of the prices of IXC and I0C on their remaining venues; once we are sure we have re-absorbed all those missing coins we can start working the price up; while so many coins are still expected to likely get "dumped" the building of the buy-side has always needed to stay low and deep waiting for those missing coins to get dumped onto it...
For years they have in effect used that threat of a "dump" to suppress the prices, lets not allow them to use that very suppression as excuse to not give us our coins back!

What incentives do whales if any even exist at this stage have to not dump their bags when the price goes higher?It's their money so they can do what they like with it really.In the real world stakeholders who could crash a market are given incentives and perks to sign contractual agreements that prevent them from wrecking the global economy and why not?They have the money and they should get the incentives to comply with bonds they make.Is there a diplomatic passport or honourary degrees being handed out by an ixcoin corporation or bank or a knighthood by the king Vlad going to be bestowed upon them for their loyalty and staying bound to their agrements?NO there isnt so why would they care about the ixcoin community or the coin apart from making a mint and who could blame them?
