Should team members hold too much of tokens?

[alltalk]

It's really bad for a team to hold more than 15% of the total coin supply, because just as you said if they eventually dump their tokens

I don't think it is really bad. It is always okay as long as the team is serious to develop the projects. I doubt if the team members want to kill their project by dumping the token price on the market severely. Imagine if you have a company, how can you destroy your company yourself? It doesn't make sense. Investors should have a higher chance to dump, especially those who bought the tokens at a very cheap price during the private sale. Or buy at the very beginning step of the initial sele with a big discount.

XRP is one of the best coins for long term investment. Currently quite popular. There are many investors in the market. However, ripples have survived in the competition of many coins. I hope it will continue in the future.

Commonly there will be a certain allocation for the team and developer. However, they may not hold too much coin, only some percentage. And if about burning token, I think that it is for the token that is not sold. So, what about this?

It is possible to make a profit by investing in DeFi coins for long term investment. There are many more projects in the market, it is possible to make a profit by investing in them. However, it is possible to make a profit by investing on ripple. Because it is quite popular nowadays.

We cannot determine how many tokens to own by the team members. They make the allocation themselves and there is no regulation to allocate how many to have by them. If you don't like to join a project if the team have many tokens, then just skip it. There are many crypto projects, you can choose yourself.

I think there are many team holder of different projects hold most of the unsold token and they tries to sold with out any news ultimately the project goes down and investors lose their fund for this project. I think it should be forbidden to sold from team holders with out notice.

Any project go to the moon or dumping that is depend on the project developers. If they try to build up the project then they trying to sold most of the tokens and unsold tokens will be burnt by them. There are many team members who are not follow any rules as have no interest to develop the projects. Ultimately the projects get fall down.

I think no, the team should not receive too large a percentage of the token emission, because after listing they sell them and the price drops too low, investors who bought the token at higher prices suffer from this. There should be anti-dumping mechanisms or, for example, a prohibition for the team to sell tokens below the price that was on the token sale

When a team has a large percentage of tokens, then this is a certain risk for us holders of tokens, the team can use coins for other purposes, sell a large amount at a time, this will be reflected on the course and the price will collapse, one of the options for possible events

Those groups ought to acknowledge that every one of them are continually endeavoring to improve the undertaking. Since the venture doesn't improve without help from anyone else. The task improves if the group is submitted. On the off chance that the group doesn't keep the guarantee, at that point the task is harmed. I think you need to know the group a long time prior to contributing.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

I've never liked or bought ripple cus of this know facts.
And to answer your question, team holding too much tokens. I did say no, but a few, like 5 to 15 percent of the total supply is OK for me, atleast, they still need this for developments and payment of staff salaries, so holding a small amount of the tokens wont be out of place, Infact, it's a good thing cus it should give them a sense of responsibility and ownership, this will naturally encourage them to work hard on the project so the tokens they hold won't end up being shit coins.

XRP team keeps dumping their coins into investors like what happened few days ago XRP almost reached at $0.9 at Coinbase before the airdrop snapshot and Im sure XRP team members did not miss this opportunity to dump billions after snapshot yeah OP is right XRP is prone to manipulation but unfortunately many institutional investors supporting this coin and we cannot do anything about it its all manipulation.   

[Callisto]

I think, in my opinion, no more than 5% should be kept by the team. Otherwise, as you said, manipulation will go, users see it and only get disappointed in projects.

If the team hold much tokens and then sell when the price is right the value will collapse. The team is the main player to control the project always in the right tract as much as possible to avoid instant collapse once the problems did not anticipate. The team controls the tempo.

[Hasnain khan]

I think the undertaking group should hold a little level of tokens. You properly said that in the event that they have a ton of tokens, at that point they can sell everything and the cost of the coin may fall as needs be.
