Help me to understand here something. This is your Ether account: 0x58f75dDACFFB183a30F69fE58a67a0d0985fce0F. There I see 8.600 ETH total, collected for over a month time. Only few contributions with more than 25 ETH (required minimum for Liquidity pool). Absolute majority of contributions - 0.1 to 5 ETH. In your annuncement above you state that response to your liquidity pool is overwhelming. I do not see it from your Ether account, so can you explain what I'm missing? Now you're lowering the limit for participation in the liquidity pool to 500 Trade Tokens from previous 5000. Why then you're lowering the minimum pool limit when things are so great?
Very logical questions!
1) As for the Ether Wallet, trade.io accepts not only ETHER but especially for the PRE-ICO it also accepts Fiat payments with bank wire transfer! Thus a large amount of funds came from deposits.
2)
The response to our liquidity pool has been overwhelming. However, the feedback by some in our community is how they can participate if they don’t have the minimum 5,000 TradeTokens. Well, management has taken this feedback into consideration, and is happy to announce a revised liquidity pool schedule that allows those with as few as 500 TradeTokens the ability to participate using a graduated schedule.So basically to my understanding is that many people wanted to participate in the trade.io project but wanted to do so if there was a chance to participate in the Liquidity Pool. Because there's many people that wanted this, management found a fair way to make this happen.
The table found above, illustrates how a participant with 5000 Trade Tokens, gets 110% participation, so that people who already have participated with trade.io get an added benefit.
At the end of the day, the bigger the pool, the better for me and you and everyone. Is a win-win situation here.

This new change is really beneficial for this project, now those people who don't have that much tokens can participate and those who have 5000+ tokens have their incentives so it's indeed a win-win situation.
