Reminds me of the Ethereum Bitcoin dump. They had dumped some 30K coins all of a sudden, which crashed the Bitcoin prices then. And now it is the turn of Factom to dump their coins.
I wonder why they use Bitcoin for their fundraisers and not wire transfers like bitcoins are bought.


Bitcoin is a better currency? Smiley
It would be easy to transfer small amounts across the globe without worrying about transaction costs if we use Bitcoin.

That is mainly because they are fundamentally opposed to centralized banking. They want to encourage the use of digital currency (well... that is what they are claiming). For them, Bitcoin is better than fiat.

That's probably because people can donate small amounts to them easily, and money can also be potentially laundered.
