Isn't a smart idea, imho.
who said that the ask price is $350
maybe it will be $200, and they will dump the till $200
Why all the worry about the auction at all? I dont think it will make any real difference to the price. Whats important is that some decent ( even respectable) financials are getting behind it. Thats what will allow bitcoin to grow in use and popularity. And ultimately in value.
BIT - Secondmarket will ensure this is well run, they have some quality talent involved.
Pantera - Jury is out, they seem a bit flaky sometimes (got reamed at last auction, to da moom forecasts) but they have quality VC behind them ( Murphy's Benchmark)
Winkey lads - Cant really argue with Billions of green now, can you?
These guys make it worthwhile investing in the future of bitcoin ( and by investing I dont necessarily mean buying it and hodling...)
