I'm out. Thanks for the ride, but this really kills the asset as an investment and is a serious blow to Picostocks as a platform.

Me and several other people I know heard about the 100TH project thanks to furuknap's post. It echoed both on Bitcointalk and Reddit, and probably brought more than a few investors on board. Reading this is, frankly, a bit disturbing. Not to raise any alarms, but if the real reason behind Picostocks coding their own exchange is to manipulate the market (it's called free market for a reason), well, it really sucks.
Are the big shareholders OK with this? Do they actually have ANY say on this decision?
Also I assume Picostocks are going to be radically opposed to any form of 100TH passthrough asset in any of the other exchanges, since they can't be manipulated at will.
