I just find it humorous that all these GAW followers don't realize that nobody outside of Hashtalk actually cares about using this coin... and nobody will care.
So true.
When any bitcoin company raises a few million dollars, it's huge news and everyone knows about it.
When GAW raises "$100 million" in a week, absolutely nobody cares.
Which raises (pun intended) another interesting question. By GAW's own numbers they have 100-200k customers and only between 2 and 10 (at peak announcement times) percent of them use hashtalk.
So what could the 90-180K non-hashtalk customers think about all this? Someone who bought the most profitable widget back in October, now comes back to GAW site and there is a new most profitable and his widget is paying a satoshi?
According to HT the first thought should be "that's great, GAW always has my best interests in mind, I should dive into this new thing head first". I doubt that's what a non-HT customer would think, but I'm biased of course.
Even if they blew their numbers out by a factor of 10 it still leaves 9-18k customers who must be thoroughly confused by what's happening. I think we see some questions even in this thread indicating that.
