Vladimir Club
| Vladimir Club is a group of people who each own at least 0.01% of the maximum supply of a cryptocurrency. The group is named after Vladimir Oksman, one of the co-founders of BitPay. As the cryptocurrency market has grown, the number of people in the Vladimir Club has increased. As of December 2017, there were estimated to be over 1,000 members of the club, each with a net worth of over $1 million. The group has been criticized for being elitist and for having too much influence over the market. However, members of the club argue that they are simply early adopters of a new technology and that their wealth is not a result of manipulation or insider trading. What do you think? Are members of the Vladimir Club simply lucky or are they part of a select group that is unfairly influencing the market? |
