Looks, it's no surprise that those in profit don't want to see this happen, of course they don't, I get that. That said, it's clear that the current system isn't working at all, and we need to start getting creative. The majority of people here are never ever going to even get close to breaking even, let alone a profit. It just seems the nice thing to do for those who are way ahead to step back a bit, but that's obviously naive of me.
Yes, it is naive of you.
You're not asking those who have reached 100% to be nice and step back.
You're asking them to be forcibly shoved out of the way, when they have every right to continue making the return that they earned.
I'm not a large investor at all, and only a few of my scattered deposits have fully completed, with a couple dozen still in various stages of completeness...
If all you're looking at is BTC, then no, I haven't broken even yet, but I'm not looking at that.
When I invested, I counted what I gave them as the value BTC was when it was given, since that is what Pyra cashed it out at to buy hardware (give or take a few percentage points), and when I look at the real value of my returns right now, I more than made my money back and then some, and I will continue to get more income still as more of my deposits completed.
My BTC balances from deposit to return is still behind, but the real-world value of what I have earned and continue to earn, I'm happy with.
This is what I signed up for, and I'm not getting out of anyone's way just because they are getting cold feet and can't see the real value of what they have.
If you can't wait anymore, you already have a mechanism available for you to avail yourself of. Cash out.
Otherwise, you should have known what you were getting into before you invested, and if you didn't, that isn't anyone else's fault but your own, and you don't get to shove other people out of your way for your own shortsightedness.
