The market is already barely alive. Cutting off supply isn't going to have the usual effect of driving up value, and we've witnessed this to be true. People are just staying out.
Those who believe DRK will take over the world already have coins. Those who are not sure, are watching which way it'll go. They will rather buy @ 0.02 than 0.006. They don't think they will, but when we are at 0.02 they will be buying lol. And those who hate DRK with a passion, will swallow their pride and will be buying when it's at 0.05.

We saw what happened to AuroraCoin in the past. Over 90% of coins in existence were locked by the premine; it caused the prize to reach heights previously unseen for a relatively uninspiring altcoin. Locking coins out of the economy will always have a positive effect on the price, history has proven this and simple mathematics back this up.
