James: I am a little concerned about the buy wall on BTER. Will this be BTC or NXT too?
Clearly a few people are planning to cash out when the buy wall appears. Fair enough, probably just normal crypto speculators looking to catch a new coin's pump and bailing when it turns out this is something different.
But there have also been large NXT buys, including one from a stakeholder who picked up ~$100,000 of UNITY. Incidentally, this person didn't vote for the bonus, and so presumably has no long-term interest in SuperNET.
When TOKEN are redeemed for UNITY and can be sent to BTER, he may see this as an opportunity to convert a large amount of NXT to BTC without crashing the price on an exchange. In which case, the 1% buy wall will not absorb his as well as others' sells.
If this is the case, a large NXT buy wall on BTER will help buffer the problem, since smaller holders will happily arbitrage the difference once the BTC have run out, whereas a whale will be less willing.
two walls, both at same price (ignoring NXT price fluctuation)
if people want to sell at a loss or breakeven, then they will. That's OK.
a lot of people probable sold sharkfund0 in the early days especially when it went "down" 10% as NXT itself went up 50%
Let the weak hands (WH) sell. this is part of the process of getting to an assetholder base that isnt price watching every tick and screaming for some "news" to happen everyday.
There was a marketing budget of 0.00000000 for SuperNET. Nothing fancy, all community driven. Definitely non-corporate
What this means is that the few that did discover and put money in are in a small minority. As the marketing materials are completed and people are understanding what SuperNET is, then more and more investors will come in. I intentionally didnt maximize the price or amount raised. This means that just getting all the materials that "should" have been there for the ICO will raise the price. Since I dont do GUI, tech or financial, I leave it to the community to do all this marketing stuff. I have to code.
An immediate 30% ROI on a 5700 BTC offering is really quite good if you think about it. This is during the stage of the WH selling pressure. Like the PoW coin during the mining phase when they are selling coins to pay the bills. When this stage is over, then we should start to see some gradual gains.
So, expect some initial selling pressure and gradual gains. I much rather have a few percent gain regularly than any massive spike in price. This is a marathon and if you are being worried about the hourly (or even daily) price change, then you are too worried

P.S. I will be issuing the official SuperNET asset today and when valarmg is ready with the redeeming, we redeem and then have interchangeable asset with bter's UNITY
