Because then it wouldnt show up as 1 billion dollar marketcap.

or wait perhaps it will? This is an interesting question, maybe we could make our own version of null but which still has the coins show up on the marketcap :D

I also agree with sending 990m to null, we will see what happens. Obviously that would increase the price and support investor confidence. But we seem to be doing fine the way it is now I hate to admit.
