Some people just have hard times believing anything unless it pops out and slaps them. Don't worry about the naysayers.
Just from your last few posts here I can guess that the purpose of BARR is to remove coins from the market and narrow down the available options to trade coins. Not only would this consolidate what coins are traded for but it will also increase the value of all other coins at the same time by removing coins from the market. By using one currency to do it to another it would increase the worth of that coin as well.
Exactly.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Most holders are only waiting for a chance to get rid of the bag they're stuck holding. They regret ever investing in altcoins, because these altcoins have no future.
I don't think we do hostile takeovers at all, because we pay people for their coins. And we pay more than anyone else is willing to pay. Best of all, if they don't want to sell or burn their coins, they can keep them and everything goes exactly like it was before. If their coin is going to survive, nothing we do can stop it. Even if we burn 99% of all the coins, the remaining coins work exactly the same as they worked before. If PoW rewards are still coming in, we could burn 100% of the coin supply and miners could just keep selling every day.
So a good coin can only benefit from the reduction in supply. But most of the coins we've burned go right back to being half-dead, even with the supply reduced so much that the price should skyrocket. But it doesn't skyrocket, because there are too many coins and not enough buyers.
I understand. What I meant by hostile is in reference to the possibility to revive the coin after.
If those that have the biggest stake in a coin no longer have that stake then they would no longer be interested in the project itself which wouldn't be a positive effect in the long run.
I'll use you in an example, lets say that you buy $5,000 worth of HTML5coin and just hold it but the coin is slowly dying. It would be in your best interest financially to insure that your investment isn't wasted so you would try to do everything in your power to prevent this.
But, I come along and offer you a way out that you take without hesitation. That would mean the project has just lost part of its chances for success as you would no longer be interested in seeing the project succeed.
Overall it would effectively destroy support for the project person by person until only those who can't really afford to help the project along are left which would be the final death of the coin. This is why the coins you have done this to in the past revert back to the way they were. The support they did have is now gone.
