RE: If you were not aware in 4 days you can have 14%+ more of BTC for free.
You don't understand what a free market is if you actually think bitcoin is a free market. Prices are controlled every single day in hour swaths of up in price by $200 followed by brief moments of down $200 in price and it usually happens several times a day. It's all quiet now in "anticipation" of the 14% "free money" that is coming your way on Aug 2nd or shortly afterwards. Don't forget..."if" the price of BTC and BTCC (BCC?) both drop you will be able to blame it on "manipulation" But teh ave crypto believer doesn't even know what "actual" manipulation looks like. Just watch this live ticker using the 3 hour window and you will see "manipulation" via the large volume spikes when it is time to "daytrade" the rallies and selloffs. Go find something more manipulated than crypto prices...I dare you to. :-)
I dont think a free market is defined by it's lack of manipulation. I know that there are backroom deals, pump and dump groups, fake exchange orderbooks and much more.
My point is that when anyone anywhere in the world can publish the code for an alternative form of cash with out permission. This is a sign of a healthy market and the closest thing we have to a free market.
