I've been a crypto holder/trader since the BTC bubble last November, and a BC holder for about a month. I have previously invested in and traded a bunch of altcoins, though never really got involved in the community. BC, on the other hand, has been different for me from the day one I got involved. I felt there was something different about this coin and community, and I believe BC really has the potential to go far. I currently hold around 11k BC, have already donated to two causes, and have by now also decided to get an account on this forum so I can also chip in with my two cents in addition to following the BC thread on a daily basis.
I hope this message also serves as a wake-up call to some; there are a bunch of BC holders out there who follow here even if they don't actively contribute to the discussions. And there are at least that many more potential investors who are looking at promising altcoins to get on board with. As has been eloquently explained by countless members of the community already, what has been happening here for the past few days has not exactly been benefiting the community, nor has it been putting a good image and sending a positive message to those people watching BC from afar.
I, for one, am glad to see both parties have by now explained they have no intentions of carrying on with this quarrel. As a new member of this community and BC fan who is contemplating investing even more into BC, I would really appreciate it if this word was indeed kept, and the reciprocal hostility was brought to an end. Remember, actions speak louder than words. And we are all individuals with a certain level of intelligence, able to decide for ourselves. I will continue to donate to causes I personally deem worthy; thereby doing my part to help BC get to where I believe it can.
I'm in crypto because I believe in its future, and I trust being on board at this stage will make me some handsome returns on the long run. I suspect many others share similar sentiments. Let's not lose sight of this. So, as a newcomer, I kindly ask you all, let's stop the harmful segregation and direct our energy and efforts into some more constructive and meaningful. I look forward to collaborating with many of you.
Long live BlackCoin!
I am one of those BC holders and couldn't agree more. I was an early BC investor and I have contributed to nearly every campaign that I thought a good idea and I planned on contributing over 50% of my hashing stake on the BC pool to Black Shield. While I don't actively communicate on this thread (didn't have a bitcointalk acct until about 15min ago which I created just so I could post on this thread, thanks amigdala), I still like to be aware of what is going on in the community and contribute financially where I can. I want to see BC succeed like everyone else. However, the more and more I go through this thread the more I see an impending train wreck with this community and it just makes me second guess my current contributions and any future contributions. It is honestly amazing anything gets done with all of the back and forth in this thread.
There is nothing wrong with disagreements and "healthy" debate but the personal attacks and other bullshit needs to stop please. Agree to disagree and lets get this train back on the tracks and blow past $1 by June 1st!
