It is clear, Rijk Plasman wants to get away from Bittrex as witnessed by this statement, made in the uncensord Guldencommunity Slack channel.
"Yes, my plan is absolutely go away from Bittrex, I think I've been clear about that too. I am now in the process of finding a solution for people outside the EU, and that will not be too long. After that, it is arranged in a minute."
And on the question "why a poll if you already want to go from Bittrex", Rijk said there:
"I wanted to get a picture of the counter-arguments. The only counter argument I take seriously is 'I really cannot buy or sell without bittrex', so Gulden lovers outside the EU. Even though there are very few of them, I do arrange something for them. The rest is all standard limited crypto thinking "buy the Chinese, whales, mcafee", which is nonsense. I've never listened to that before and it's a mystery to me what those people still do at Gulden.
So let me remind you again:It looks to be a casual poll to see what the community thinks about the btc pairing. BTC pairings aren't going anywhere because you can't have them removed, the poll highlights to the community why the Gulden price is going down and that is because btc price is going down.
Nothing Rijk does is casual, there's always a plan that HAS to be carried out. This poll is simply a ramp-up to a decision he already made.
He want's to detach from BTC all together. Been saying that for years already. I already informed you guys that he and his "holmaat" Roel (Nocks) need total control and they need it fast (taxes). So if BTC pairings are dropped, who controls the entire market? Right Nocks (Roel and Rijk).
Even the master fanboy Remco (KrakenXiv) Katz agrees with me on this:
I think we are going to lose the BTC pairing on Bittrex. Rijk and his associates have made up their mind, and are now trying to brainwash the masses. They openly blame Bitcoin for the pricedrop on their official Facebook page.
Can we make a statement about not wanting to leave Bittrex by putting massive walls on either exchange?
From facebook
Why don't I answer that? For two reasons. Guilder is a decentralised project, there is no boss, no admin, no institute that determines the price.
They do not market anything but they
post things on Facebook where the most people voted against on Slack but no you are not the boss
Malcolm and a lot of others were against but no
lets post it on Facebook to create some more disturbance on the marketBecause of talking of that delisting maybe a lot of people dump in advance.
I know when a coins get delisted i almost alway sell all my coins because i do not want to have an account on every exchange there is.
If Gulden gets delisted and a lot of whales/big investors starts dumping Gulden then it will go down hard. If there is another 25 Million Gulden dumped on the market the price will go to .....
And then he goes on and explains into exact detail why he thinks BTC and Bittrex are the reason for low prices.
When oh when are people in here finally going to grasp the reality behind Rijk's true motivations? I have seen the signs over four years ago already! The only reason only a few people outside the Netherlands (EU) are involved in Gulden is not Bittrex, it's the fact they just never heard of it. Why?
M A R K E T I N G !!!! <--
The lack of that!!
