Yes it is a plan to get BTC. They wanted the blocknet to get refunded and they will announce their fatally flawed zk-snark/zerocash big news on or near the same time. They need as much btc to flow in to dump before everyone knows about the trust issue (dev has to be trusted to destroy key that allows unlimited coin minting.) and the bload issue. SDC already has a slow network and they have to ask often for people to stake coins. Imagine what happens when thousands more use zk-snarks with it's massive bloat. Lol screeching halt to the network. Non of the zk-snark feature buyers is planning on holding coins in wallets. They plan to use the network with the anon feature. Epic Fail. But they will have gotten shit tons of btc before that kind of news and complaints arise. Imagine the forks as the network strains way more than it does now and parts fork due to the insane long tx times. Good god.
lol come on man, wait for a whitepaper before you spout nonsense, when has shadow talked about a slow network, ours is fine. Every POS coin asks people to stake, thats what your supposed to do on a PROOF-of Stake coin.
