My first thought after reading the article is that it's just as likely to be untrue and that the real experiment is to see if people will a) bank this guy up by repping what seems to be a genuine enough article (heart-warming confession in the opening paragraph, no?) and subsequently b) start selling up and basically gift some discounted coin to someone who just realised they f***** up by not grabbing it sooner...

That said, if it is true, apparently he/she/they foolishly (or cleverly?) chose a coin that is actually pretty decent and may well have a strong future, so I guess everybody wins...

FULL DISCLOSURE — I'm holding CHC, and I do have a couple of masternodes, but given that I've already made my buy-in back from selling some on the high here I'm not too worried about what the future holds... It won't get anywhere near $100 per coin on a 15m supply without some serious investor confidence—at least, not without the global market cap going up by 100x as well—so the proof will be in the pudding as they say!
