Removing myself from the AeroME team.
That does not mean I am "removing" myself as an investor. Far from it actually, I now have the possibility to strenghten my position.
My actions does not reflect the AeroME project at all really, it's Majika's project. It's the powerfull platform that I have 100% faith in will bring AeroME to become something big.
Honestly, I really just want to dissapear and let that be that.
But after reading slack logs, I found myself to feel to guilty about certain community members to do so.
Therefore I will tell my story before I go in the dark.
Chapter 1
It all started in the summer of 2014, at the end of the altcoin glory days. I stumbled accross the Aero project, witch I found very interesting. When reading the whitepaper I felt like walking over a mountain of gold.
Because this was it, if a solid and secure platform like this could be made then it would have the biggest potential I had ever seen in crypto, and I had been involved with many projects before.
So blinded by the possible potential, I forgot to trade the coin the way I had already earned my stack of BTC. It went down, but I didnt really care, because I knew the potential of the AeroME platform.
Time went by and there was not much of a sign from Majika, I waited and waited while I was supporting the price. After I while I saw the reality in it's face, and was afraid that this proeject was not going anywhere.
Like thousands of crypto investors have experienced, I felt very certain that I had made a big mistake. But I would not let go that easy, no way, I would not surrender without a fight.
I stepped up as a large investor offering to help the AeroME project to market the huge platform that was AeroME, and yes as you probably think by the earlier sentence, to get Aero up and me out.
It was not a easy task, it was something completely new, and I had very little idea on what to do. As some of you remember, in the earlier days when this happened, I used a lot of Aero and BTC to spread the word about the AeroME platform. And ofcours, it was yet again a stupid mistake. It only achived dumps on the market (guess who was buying them again?).
Chapter 2
Time went on with this, and I got connected with Majika. That's when I saw hope again and I felt really lucky. Because this is a deeply good guy who knows what he is doing, and it was not just a P&D project like my worst nightmares would tell me. It's easy to see what I am talking about, just reading through his post history here on BCT. And I also had found out the reason for him not being active through the summer, and that he was starting on working hard on the platform.
My motives changed, I had big faith again and had no plans on getting out. Price started to climb again, and I was using my leftovers to push it more, but got dumped on.
Time started to go again, months acutally. All the while I was talking to Majika, and even though the faith was still there I lost hundreds of dollars each day.
I started to use more of time on AM, most of my days went to doing stuff for it. Aerotalk, investor handout, promotions, website, etc, list is to long.
And all the while when I was doing all this stuff, I lost more and more money on helping the project.
I was always asking other investors to help out in either way they could. Donation to help me out with what I was doing, promotion theirselves and all the ways I could think of.
Mourderuskirk (_crypto), mitchr4, chrislandin, louie & aeroman are probably the only ones I can thank for contributing and honestly the only guys I feel sorry for hurting. (Expect Majika ofcours)
Almost everyone else has not showed any apprecation for the work I did, and had no intensions in helping out.
To give an example of this: If I found 20 places on the previous ANN where I asked for comments or whatever on work I had done or was doing, I probably got 2 answers.
Chapter 3
Sooo, lets see, whats next?
Hmm, yeah, remember the ICO disaster? I still, very well actually, why? Because guess who needed to clean it up?
After building Aero up again, working every day on it, Majika went on with an ICO without even consulting with me. (Alraight, I knew a day before it became offcial, but to late)
Me and _crypto knew perfectly that it would all go to hell, he did not listen. Majika was feeling very low, and it all looked very dark. But I did what I had to do, I picked myself up, and I did all I could to fix it and succeeded.
Now this is not to bring negativty on Majika, he has appologized to me for it and I don't hold a grudge over it. It's just a part of the big picture with my story.
Chapter 4
Now to the last disaster for myself.
AeroMe finally goes up, and I want to sell out some at 4.5k because I had a strong feeling we was going down again. But I was easily conviced not to do so of a big investor in Aero, and I can't really understand why I was so easily convinced either.
It started to go down, and many started to be annoyed with how little support was put for it, and I felt obligated to free up the last slump of BTC I had to help support the recent movement.
Remember my bitstake advice? Well, that's where it was taken out of. Even though I was very certain of a pump happening I had to free BTC up, at 5k. This was not a small amount either.
A couple days later the pump happened, and I would watch the market with such depressive feelings I hope none has to go through. Lost out on an estimated 40-60 btc, witch was worth more then my entire AeroME holding.
It's been almost a year with continued dissapointments. A let down after another. And truly, if I saw myself just loosing out on everything I did in crypto then it wouldnt matter to much that it happened with AeroME.
But the problem is that everytime I take myself away from AeroME and bring money and time to other crypto activities I do really good. You may think my 1 to 100 btc earlier in 2014 was a lie, it was not.
But the pieces started to put themself toghether for me, Majika is as good as done with the platform and when it comes it will be so huge that I am not needed here anymore.
So when a random dude got in slack and wanted to buy cheap AM off market, I found a good exit strategy. I found a way to get back some of the money that I had lost on AeroME, and I sold out my reputation.
It was a hard thing to do, and I am truly sorry for the guy that had to take the hit. However, when I first am being honest, it helped alot that it was a guy that would have lost his holdings eventually anyways.
(Remember he was totally new to AM and had no idea what it was all about, he didnt know what the aerome platform was and not who majika was)
This is not a story to free myself from what I have done. It's wrong, and I am fully aware. It's more of a way to maybe understand how I feel about my involment with AeroME. How many failures and losses I have had to go through.
And if you are thinking "but its your fault", yes, it is without a doubt my fault, I don't blame anywone else. I invested, I put the time in..
It's simply my story, my last chance to tell it before I go off. That will say; my involvment with AeroME stops and I go on to just be an investor. Because this project has the greatest and most talented leader behind it and will succeed without me. Thanks to the people dumping today so I can increase my holdings even more.
The last thing I needede to be said before I go:
1.
Website will be handed over to Majika.
2. _crypto owes me 1.5 btc, and I wanted him to have it but seeing the last post "claiming" the ANN design that I created made me change my mind.
So that should be given over to sap922.
3. My accounts will be deleted, if I you have something you really need to say I will still have my skype.
Thanks to the good times I have had with those that I consider my friends, a big fuck off to this meaningless year of mine, and a big smileyface to the good times that AeroME will see in the coming weeks!
I'm out.
