I would respect the long post 1Hodl made a lot more if he hadn’t locked it.
You say that, but is it really true? There's a reason that makers abandon this place. When you stand up for yourself you end up with negative trust ratings and constant harassment even if you did everything 100% correctly. Trust me. I have plenty of first hand experience in this area. When the bitcointalk trolls come for you, the worst thing you can do is engage them to try and prove your innocence. You'll end up being harassed in ways you can't imagine by mentally ill people around the globe. I wish that weren't the case, but so long as we have a compromised default trust network this is the way it will stay. Right now, it appears MrCryptHodl has only received 1 negative rating from someone I've already removed from my network for being a troll. So it seems his strategy is working.
Lealana had some funding issues once with his coins and refused to address it, which lost him plenty of customers who never forgot, Despite being one of the most highly regarded names in the space. ..Advise against this strategy.
Lealana (I guess we won't mention his name) still has a good reputation though, right? Same with 1CryptHodl. I think had Lealana continued addressing what happened publicly here (I know a little bit about this as I was the escrow agent involved) he likely would have been harassed to the point of permanently leaving the forum or at the very least having his reputation tarnished in the trust network as more people discovered what happened. I address my customers and am always transparent, which results in negative trust ratings for
mentioning facts about my collectibles or
offending someone (or other completely made up nonsense). Again, without a valid DT trust network, I would advise other makers to be careful engaging complaining users here as the more of a stage you give them, the more harassment you will receive. Warranted or not.
Trolls will be trolls , assholes will be assholes, as you know I’m neither. I chose my career because I had close family members taken advantage of by FAs after losing their spouse. Always loved finance and saw my calling, to get in to a corrupt industry and make real chsnge/help others, I’ve been doing just that for almost two decades and find it extremely rewarding. I never trolled 1Hodl, Mopar never did, LoyceV (.just being who he is, the best member on this forum and lending a hand), as well as others…simply looking out for the community. Were some people overly aggressive and jumped to conclusions..sure. But it’s easy to disprove haters if you do it graciously.
You and I always have gotten along well but cmon brotha, was Tman a raging lunatic? Fuck yes. But you gave it right back and then when not needed at times IMO. Same thing why Owl and others. Ilm not saying they were always justified (honestly I don’t even know what it was all about as I just stayed out of it) but you didn’t have to approach things like you did at times (same goes for the others). Your wars on here coulda been over long before they were snd no maker has been at it like that w others before. Hey I get it I’m a hot head, but at times you gotta say f em and move on. No other maker has gotten in to it with the community like you have , not even close (again justifiable at times) and not even with clients or having to do w collectibles, but what do you expect then..it’s like Israel and Palestine. No one wins when both sides can’t move on, not hating here, I have none for you, we’ve buds for damn near a decade now ( saying this 3 hours b4 my 40th makes me feel stupid old
No, I would not agree that Lealans has a good reputation anymore, not overall, Refusal to address the key issues (hardly took any shit for that btw), refuses to help past clients with anything at all, despite still an active maker, (I don’t think super highly of Caldwell for the same reason, and others as I’ve been vocal about here before), I completely snd utterly disagree with your stance about addressing concerns. Am I a troll? Is Krogo? Plenty of us here just need answers from makers at times, once they are provided you’d see me walk away. Otherwise I’ll come at them till the end off their business (see Cold Storage Coins for reference).
The maker's I’ve held in the highest regard address issues, work with disgruntled customers, understand proving their “innocence”, st times is simply part of running a business, ( I called out BTCPrnny who wrote me a very kind DM , and seems to be working hard towards transparency and making things right, That’s how a maker with issues should be, and will support him when he makes all right,
This hobby simply needs revamped, something I’ve discussed in depth w Makers like Alpen and Kialara who get that..jump on board is my advice to makers,
OG remember when I posted about “why did all the OG collectors leave”. You mentioned it being because of tolls…i now know why completely…there’s been one scam after another and it keeps going on because people just accept it’.It then forces collectors to cap their collections. After Yogg , someone I considered a very close friend..fucked myself, owl, mbitr, snd Xprim his closest friends on earth over ..that was when I realized everything HAS to change ..or else history will just keep repeating itself
