Assuming the MAID crash doesn’t affect long term financing of the corporation (and it’s not even really losing a whole lot in FIAT since BTC has been trending up), I see no inherent conflict of interest in a supporter wanting to purchase cheap MAID. Until we are in Beta, I’m not overly concerned about the MAID price as it stands now, or the current price affecting the long term viability and support of the project. If we are in Beta and are still hovering around this same price in FIAT, I will be concerned.

I don’t think anyone likes it Lisa, but at the same time how will you stop these whales from dumping? Nothing to do about it, so you just look at it from the brightest possible side!
We are going to get our day in the sun soon

I’ve said this before and I will say again, the price of MaidSafeCoin doesn’t matter. The only price that matters is SafeCoin!

I don’t know if I agree they are mutually exclusive. If so I am prolly like 75% investor. But as an investor I want to see the project succeed and price go up because of that. I started buying MAID alot in the last year cause it looked like a relativly low price (in BTC) then it had been historically, but at the same time so much more progress on the actual project had been made. To me that sounds like an undervalued coin I can profit from AND a project where my support is merited rather then just jumping on the band wagon at the end.
Maybe over time the percentage changes. At first your like oh look at all this value for a good price sounds like good investment. Then after a while holding the bag you start really looking into it as you wonder if you should keep on HODLing… and finally its like ya but better do my best to support this thing now.

Even in beta, getting people to use the network will be the secret to success. Many great inventions haven’t made it for some reason or another (commercialisation strategy)

Mr 100 btc is back, but at 1.4k sat now. Something very fishy about this whole thing.

If BTC goes to $14k, then 1400 for MAID is a reality

looks like BTC is slippin. I am hoping for a slow steady downtrend for like a week. Get people thinking ok time to hedge in alts and stop HODLing the top on BTC.

At the rate alts are dropping too I could see a $6-7k btc causing many alts to go to their USD all time lows. MAID already at 16 cents, 11 cents was essentially the lowest I saw it around for a few months ago. If BTC/ETH/MAID all trail low enough I do have dry powder to buy some. I think I would buy some BTC around the $6k mark(doubt we see it dip this low but maybe). And I would pickup ETH around
150-200 range if possible. MAID I own enough of but if I saw it hit .10 cent or less I guess I would buy it for the sake of not wanting to see it go lower xD . But I really wanna see a solid MVP before I spend any more hard earned $$$ on MAID.
Will be curious what the anticipated deliverables and timelines for this will turn out to be here too. Hopefully Maxwell will be easier/faster than the Flemming that is currently being grinded out. I know right now there are synchronous requirements or something of the sort in parsec and changes must be made to be fully asynchronous I believe(hopefully the math and concept is solved there and just needs the recode) something about common vs concrete coin or w/e I am not too knowledgeable on

@maidsafe it would probably make sense to postpone any major announcement to after this leverage madness is over (22nd of August?)…that obviously in the optimistic view that we could actually get Fleming before then.
Disclamer: I’m actually guilty of being part of this stupid game, having some minor leveraged positions in BTC, but would never think to open leveraged positions with a coin like MAID.

I hope the marketing will be using this type of simple English at Fleming announcement. Get Sir TBL to acknowledge the achievement and scream it from the rooftops

I’m sure he’s losing a small percentage in the hands of other people too…

Could be maidsafe selling its stack to secure next year of development
Doubt it - they would wait until the next announcement which is due shortly if they had wanted to do that.

You never know how the market will react and what will happen next 
Until now nothing could go wrong because there is no real product on the market (network that needs to defend itself against attacks) - but from Fleming on the basic concepts need to show their value in real world conditions and not just in our fantasy 
I would hope it was the team and not just someone trying to simulate resistance levels/turn points through volume in longer term charts…
Ps: but the good thing is that no matter what the motivation behind this is - since margin trading for maid ended there is no option anymore for making profit from falling maid prices => he might want to lower the price right now but the plan must involve a rising price at some point again too

I don’t think so but you never know.
