The story behind the Stellar Bitcoin Lumen program

BrianGale

There have been a lot of questions about why Stellar is giving away lumens to holders of bitcoin. This blog post is from the first distribution, but given the upcoming start of the next giveaway, I wanted to give everyone a chance to take another look behind why we're doing this. https://www.stellar.org/blog/why-btc-giveaway/

Thanks for the update Brian. I think overall it's a good thing for Stellar, some people think it could cause more issues than anything but I doubt it. I was one of the bitcoin holders last time that didn't claim anything, I'm sure most people are like that in fairness. Small percentage will actually be given out probably.
