We need Venture Capital

When the price dipped below .0009, I started buying up as fast as I could without pushing the price back up. I rode that buy-up all the way down to 0.00066. Currently holding ~ 91,500 coins at the moment. Although, I’m probably not going to be buying more any time soon. I need to be somewhat conservative. I haven’t bought this much alt-coin since the early Litecoin days.

[/quote]Somewhat conservative??? That’s over $9k.

[/quote]That’s what I’m saying. I’ve already made a somewhat risky investment (because I did research, and now I support and trust this community). The conservative part is not spending any more of my BTC on it for the time being…maybe if it really starts shooting up I’ll buy more.

I’ve also put my money where my mouth is and bought a few thousand FTC on btc-e.
What I just noticed: At the same time I sold some WorldCoin and DigiCoin. The clients only had a few connections to the network, while my FTC client has 16 active connections at the moment. This is also an indicator on how dedicated this community is. It’s not just mine & dump like many of those, with due respect, junk coins like CHNCoin, etc.

[/quote]I have a virtual machine I leave a ltc wallet and a ftc wallet open on for sync.
Though I wonder what VCs would actually do for us outside of helping with speculation. Having a single body of people with deep pockets(non ftc pockets) dictating the functionality might be detrimental long term because one of the faiths/perceptions of crypto-currency is no one groups controls it all.

[/quote]I think what we are seeing with these cryptos is actually a re defining of what money is which in turn is a redefinition of what it means to have equity. The stock market is alien to most people, but now any organisation or community can have it’s own currency and by buying that currency you are effectively buying stock in them. We are every investors wet dream because there is no regulation or red tape in buying stock in FTC. Buying the currency means you are backing us. The harder we work the more value it creates.
Or am I missing something?

[/quote]No that’s about right but it is speculation. Or more appropriately “currency” speculation. If they want to do that more power to them. Though the limits ftc use. What I think the community really wants is that you can go buy a beer or a steak with some ftc. Now the VC guys could help their investment in ftc currency by paying for setting up shops that take ftc for the goods and services…
-
It would require a huge investment to limit FTC use though and we have talked on this forum recently about the need to get as much FTC in to as many hands as possible so that it can’t be controlled by a minority like it is at the moment on BTC-e. That bot has been running now for many days.
-
I hold about half FTC right now. Approx 6k. The rest is in BTC, but I need it that way for my trade bot to work. Pulled out of all other altcoins.
-
I need to trade some coins to cover some mining deals. I’d rather trade with the community here than get raped on the exchanges.
-
The big chunks of FTC will disperse over multiple owners in time. There’s nothing to do in this respect but just waiting and let the free market run.
-
Possibly… before looking for capital there should be a registered non-profit Feathercoin Foundation (maybe a cms at feathercoin.com/foundation) and this foundation needs a business plan.

well i bought 13k ftc a couple of days ago.
Also ordered me 10x 7950 cards that will be directed at ftc 8)i do not think manipulating the exchange rate is the way to go.
i think its more important to create s viable marked where people
can use their ftc like it was their visa card…
like bitcoinstore.com…this will increase the need for ftc and make the purchase rate go up
