Classic pump n dump with a 'fancy' name. Well played Magnet, there will be tons of noobs holding bags after this one.
lol
"Classic Pump & Dump" 6 months after the coin was released? I don't think
classic means what you think it means.
The difference between this coin and all others, including BTC, LTC & DOGE, is that BTCS embraces decentralized development by utilizing a novel proof-of-stake voting system to have the community decide development and foundation formation issues, as opposed to a central group of developers.
It looks like it's the first
democratized crypto-currency and to vote you have to keep and hold your coins. Hopefully, there will be a sell-off after it hits Mintpal to shake off some of the speculators, but a lot of its supporters plan to keep holding on for the coming voting phase.
This coin fills the need for a community-driven coin, especially with all the crap coming out of the "top-down" Bitcoin SHA Foundation.
I wouldn't be surprised if other coins started following suit by democratizing their development because ultimately freedom loving people don't like centralized control with anyone, even brilliant developers.
