you can see that there arent many interesting in claiming aurora, even when its free.

so, having a balanced price, which is not driven by speculation seems utopian to me.

there need to be 'fast money for the few', a reward for the fast/first/pioneers and speculation is a basic thing of crypto and fiat currencies.

even when 'll we have an established crypto - we still have a market, with profit, egoism and stuff. the rules of a market will still work and that requires 'winners' and 'losers'

those who wont claim now cant be 'winners'

will be completely honest with you here, meteoric rise months ago was so unexpected and so sudden and dare to say "manipulative" that it bears the question (overall) as to purpose of crypto currencies in general.

Fortunately I have skipped all that and stayed out from AUR (was not caught up did not lose a cent or kilowatt of electricity), did not rent expensive rig, nothing, sensed something was wrong,

Now in peace and quite one can mine/air drop and resurrect concept of local currency with an accent on maybe just maybe on local economy (such as are in my mind "country" coins)

If Iceland decides (and they will have to do this) crypto is viable for them as an alternative to standard way of doing business, then coin will go places and my hope is used in commerce over there, and I actually believe it will, bitcoin is going to see such a strong rise that will catch many by surprise but prices will be beyond reach of local (but growing) economies

Personally I do have a problem (conceptually) with too large of an accumulation in hands of a few ONLY because they can manipulate markets/prices although! people can counter balance buy purchasing back coins that are sold by the "exclusive club" with access either to machinery or just FIAT

I checked quickly TOP 100 AUR richest addresses, and gladly see large number of 10 to 100 holders , this is very nice to see and possible hope

Its all my opinion and for every 100 people asked what they think of crypto you will get 100 answers Cool
