Why is this an empty promise? People can and will swap! 'Distant Future' means the end of the ICO, when all the ICO investors get their KMD as well.
The BTCD does have value, and everyone who don't like to participate in the KMD ICO can sell their BTCD to those who want do want.
Hold on! BTCD was developed by the same team as well, so those risks are are there even without KMD ICO. If BTC goes to zero we are all doomed anyway.
BTC is the most secure and used coin out there, and it will most likely stay that way. Furthermore, jl777 has recognised the potential risk involved and thus he is also coming up with solutions.
Do not sell you BTCD below the promised rate!!!
If you do, you would be handing free money to other people. If you want to exit, you can do it with the real rate, the price will recover as the BTCD holders also get an extra asset.
