My post seems to have gone missing for some reason. Let's do it once more...
Not to troll or FUD, but why does a multi-million dollar corporate alliance need donors to come up with (relatively) puny 10BTC to expand their userfrendliness. I'm not a whale and I could only commit 2BTC to a proof of urea purchase and delivery. After all, when (if?) that irrefutable proof comes in I'll make much more on URO. Yet, even to me, 10BTC is not that much...
My train of logic is that even though the 4 companies are backing and supporting URO. They cannot be seen as directly funding it. It is in everyone's interest that URO remains an independent community that is not directly funded by any third party but by the community and it's supporters. This would be very important to get other suppliers to sign on in the future.
We, the miners and the traders, are funding uro. the commodity backing is only to sustain confidence in the coin, that it will hold value in the future. If we, the traders, declare that it has value by not dumping for small gains, but investing carefully and recovering our initial investment by taking a small percentage of our early holdings as a gain in the short term, while holding the majority for the long term, the coin has real potential. if you sell 10% every time it doubles, you will create opportunity for new investors while recovering your initial investment. Then hold the rest and let it thrive. Pump and dump only works if you dump. It's the traders that do it, not the devs. The devs just take advantage of it. We're the real selfish scumbags, if you want honesty, which I'm sure you don't.
