See this is the problem with not making our intentions to tonych clear at the outset
We didn't wish to reduce our btc holdings when investing in bytes ... well not for good anyway.
You can have the best tech on the board but if you deliberately put it all in the hands of the competition and mislead other genuine holders over and over enough times you can turn it into a black hole for btc. Quite an amazing feat that seems to have been completed so masterfully.
Of course when tony unveils the masterplan all along and
1. decentralises the network
2. nulls the known ico manager bytes wallets
3. distributes the rest to the honest investors holding bytes
4. starts with the real marketing
we will all see a return x10 of the btc that seems to have vanished from our portfolios.
You are totally right. I also want to mention, that position of dev "don't care about the price" is TOTALLY wrong in any cases.
If the market will not manage price to grow, the project may end with very low cap and coins could be centralised because of that - couple of whales could buy most of the circulating tokens from market at very low price and bye bye byteball success.
