Yes de
Something i have always wondered about charity coins...

As they need proper currency, not crypto, the BCT must be sold for BTC which can then be converted to cash.

Surely with such a huge amount of coins, the price will be held down as these are sold or smashed down if they are sold quickly.

I'm not criticising or FUDing, just asking if that is how it will work. If it is, others may be nervous about investing.
Actually very valid point.
The current working model of the charities requires conversion to fiat money (via BTC), thus price will drop at the time these coins are sold.
One can however control the amount of coins that are released to charities (as maccaspacca also noted), to counterfeit that.
This rises another question, who is going to manage charity share of coins and what policy will be chosen on when to sell these coins.

dev please dont sell all charity share's coin at once, or let community to decide how and when to sale

I think the key thing will be full transparency, something that this dev has given us fully up to now unlike similar coins Smiley

There hopefully will be a number of ways that charity coins are distributed / sold / dripped to the market over a longer period of time. Charities sometimes need big lump sums but for the most part regular contributions are better, fitting this coins purpose better.
