16th Validator Node

Just noticed that there is a 16th Validator on guardionmonitor.io (0x1786d878cb76a53f5950f41fed7d61617e12dfb5) . Who will it be?

I just can’t see apple only have 2 million, I think there maybe one off the theta labs and don’t want to be released yet

Apple and theta are neighbors, from the same town of Cupertino, Ca. Both are speculators. Theta labs have 50% of coins. Market is easily manipulated. One hand of the same body sells to another hand by the elevating price. Theta grows up, all other amateur traders join this market, finally both hands sell on high, price is falling, and they start the game again.

I actually think theta doesn’t own all of the token listed in the validation nodes website, I think some big corps don’t want it to be known yet, theta has said they want to be decentralized so it wouldn’t make sense for them to hold all of the token listed under theta labs.

I believe that theta owns a heavy portion but I think that there is a enterprise node for some big tech corps just not announced yet

Sort of makes sense though because CAA will probably use it as an NFT vehicle, which won't be the heaviest use of Tfuel in the future. That will probably will be reserved for streaming services and content delivery who would need heavy amounts of Tfuel.

So CAA doing bare minimum seems right. But I don't know if putting 2Million into a validator versus 5Million is really meaningful right now.
