i can hardly understand why selling "cheaper" iota to a "group of priviledged investors" would be the key to iota's success.
first of all, iota's success will depend on it being functional, useful and thus adopted.
i doubt that "priviledged investors granted with lower risk + under market price subsidies" will be more dedicated to the community than the rest of us who arrived at the begining, and put our faith in iota, assuming higher risks, and striving for it to become the "reality" that it "is" now.
after all, these "new piviledged users" will have a much lower selling price than some of the "second generation" users, who bought iota with otc prices. it seems unfair.
unless they are undoubtfully bringing enormous benefits for iota (adoption from decisive worldwide iot companies) i don't think this is an honest proposal.
please, let us know more details.
primarily, 'price' is whatever number it is a seller and a buyer agree upon, regardless of other prices elsewhere. in that sense, the term 'privileged' does not apply.
so apart from the Satoshis others are expected to pay, those who want to pay less Satoshi must bring something else to the table that has said other benefit to compensate for lower amount of Satoshi.
I think you are right there, it does depend in the details.
