So there we have it, written in stone. Rijk has always seen the premine to be his private possession. Now there is no doubt anymore folks. You can say whatever you like about him being visible and known publicly, he still is a founder of a coin that has a huge premine he considers his own personal cashcow to do as he pleases. He just does it in plain sight.
So all of you have been pouring your hard earned cash into the Gulden ecosystem, so Rijk can cash out his fat 100mm+ stack he got for absolutely nothing on top of the 650BTC he took with shares.
Ask yourself this, if you would have known he would take the premine as a private fund from the start, would you have taken this serious? No you would not! Instead he lied about it for years (hand out 100G to each citizen, use the premine as a community fund to create awareness, put premine in a community fund to pay for development) and slowly lured you into his private equity trap!
Alright. First of all I realise that this information used to be easy to find, but nowadays it is not, so I added it to the specifications at dev.gulden.com (probably after refresh visible).
Premine in 2014: 170 million
Premine (mostly since 2016) in circulation: 110 million
Premine in my possession: 60 million
Why a premine, then?
As some of you may have made clear, I'm not one of the 'crypto rules'. I do not have the large 'code' with do's and don'ts conceived by self-declared experts in my closet. For me, the premine meant something else: financial freedom. Financial freedom gives you the opportunity to be independent and to be able to do what you really like. To follow your vision. It is probably a dream for many for many reasons. What would you do if you had enough money? Everyone has a different answer to that. My answer is simple and I think I don't even have to give it, because I have shown it for the last 4 years.
In the first two years of Gulden, there was no question of financial freedom, because simply the value of Gulden (which started at 0) in those years was around 0.0015 cents. Also the value of Bitcoin was very different then, I don't want to talk about it further, because it's private, but I already came into contact with Bitcoin in 2011. I had a full-time job and when I noticed that this full-time job was at the expense of Gulden I stopped in mid-2017, to focus 100% on Gulden.
So what about the premine?
This is no different from previous years. This is in my possession.
Feel free to ask questions, I will try to answer them as best I can, unless they really come into the prives sphere.
So now it's clear.
This is HIS 60 millions.
So stop to disturb him with 60 millions of stupid questions, let him continue to develop.
And ... be grateful for the 110 miillionnns he spent from his own pocket , to pay developer.
Bye
