RE: Steemit-Based Reality Game Announced: $10 million prize pool
You guys sound a lot like the naysayers calling Bitcoin a scam back when there was not yet any infrastructure or on ramps. If you were not a miner, it was much easier and far less intellectually challenging to just call it a scam then to try and figure out the "coloring outside of the lines" ways of buying it while it was still selling in the single digits. Thank God I didn't listen to your knee jerk reactions and started buying bitcoin for $5 in 2011
Dear @rubenalexander
You downvoted this comment because..................?
Be advised that you will either need a good reason or if you have no good reason, be hereby advised that I also know how to downvote.
Have an absolutely splendiferous rest of what's left of your day and your 15 minutes of fame :-)
what the hell you scare me now :D If I could I will double my up vote to you ahahaha
Bitcoin was launched by a genius cryptoanarchist. Mogul is (or was going to be) launched by a serial scammer. There is quite big difference, don't you think?
You have absolutely no idea by whom Bitcoin was launched. To claim you do is to display your lack of credentials to add anything meaningful to the discussion here. Good God, man, do you expect us to believe every claim on tv, radio, and online? Do you not know that there are highly paid disinformation specialists? And amateurs like you with names to make for themselves or bloated egos to feed.
What's up with the hostility? Sure no one knows who created bitcoin, but it was free to join and you only needed a CPU to mine it, not thousands of dollars up front.
All you needed to do to take advantage of OP's marketing efforts was to buy and hold some bts.
Instead, the naysayers and trolls are calling something a "scam" because they don't understand it. It is the height of ignorance and I am tired of several years of this. Hence the hostility. Thank you for asking :-)
I did that, but not thanks to matttrainer. He wasn't asking me for BTS to "get in early" on his project, he was asking for USD.
What is there to understand based on his seminar? Just blindly trust someone with my money? Why are you being so ridiculously sided with someone who behaved so unprofessionally, not to mention the post of promises of big profits and examples of "newbie grandmas" making a ton of money screams scam. We are already sold on blockchain technology and understand the advantages it provides and the difference between something being open-source and clear to the public instead of this Nigerian Scammer/ Onecoin Scamming level of bullshit.
That would have been unethical way of profiting.
I do understand it very well, I have seen several similar projects before. If this wasn't a scam, why it was build to look like and marketed like a scam?
The fact that the guy quits very soon just proves this. If he had had a real business plan, he could have just smile and say "just wait and see", execute the plan, and show everybody that it was a real thing. But no, he acted like a scammer would act in a situation where he faces a lots of critique: ragequit because he understands that he can't scam people in an environment like this.
whose a good man now
I wish I knew you back in 2011 so I could buy tons of BTC but here we are... the machine to go back in time doesn't exist yet
How can you even compare the two? Bitcoin was open-source since 2009. There was no person going around asking other users for $10-$50,000 without any proof or details to be a part of the network.
