But why is it stupid? Is it not stupid to expect people to invest in an ecosystem where they can't trade their investment based on market moves? I think their are fundamental economic issues at stake here. If 'big stake' doesn't want to encourage investment from small fish then the whole eco-system becomes nothing more than a small, but profitable, protected investment club for a very few people.
Anyway. appreciate the reply and I will look forward to further discussion on the topic at a future, and more relevant date.
