I see that every day that goes by this is going to get worse, it costs so much to have a minimum of education? Please, we are not children.
Allow me to give my perspective on this.
Firstly, I am invested in ROCK2 and have been for a while, and during ICO there were some scam accusations and they slowly built up to a crescendo that we are seeing now.
It was disappointing to see Dias stop answering any questions in here and TBH that got me a little worried, as I stated in a post.
Since joining the Telegram group I have seen first hand the comment's about people being banned and the Telegram locked to new members. (Also never a good sign)
I personally think the constant FUD, onslaught of questions, the responsibility of both responding to investors and setting up the project was more work than the team had envisaged, and this has put great pressure on them and in particular Dias.
They have adopted a "Positive Comments Only" policy in the Telegram which again I think is wrong. As long as people are asking legitimate questions, not FUD dressed up as a genuine question but actual real questions, then they deserve a right of reply, the same with new investors, if they hear that the Telegram is closed to new members to reduce fudding that in itself is a red flag so they are shooting themselves in the foot doing that.
In my opinion they should welcome new members (maybe they are now I am not sure) and they will soon weed out those there simply to FUD.
But getting back to one of my original points, I think Dias has taken the wrong approach in many ways here, that being that to be defensive one should be offensive, and there is no need for that, but again after months of being called a potential scammer I suppose it got to them and I hope now that the initial pressure is off of the team they take a break, sit back and re-assess their attitude on-line to investors and potential investors.
As for the scam accusations themselves, well I have never believed these guys are scammers, and they have posted videos of both the arrivals of the first lot of ASICS and the installation with an in-depth video in early October, which is a great thing. So anyone out there wondering if they are indeed scammers, my answer is no, if they were they would have taken the ICO money and run for the hills (or a cave
) but they have not done this and I believe they will follow through with this project and it will be successful.
With regards to the repayment amounts, I personally did not do my own due dilliegence well enough (My own fault not anyone elses) and just looked at the calculator without realizing it was based on an assumption of 14.5K BTC price.
That does not deter me from my investing in IRM because like many I know it is a case of when, not if, BTC will smash through previous records, and as for the difficulty, well that is anyones guess and where investing is similar to gambling right?
I could sell some of my ROCK2 now on exchange as I purchased at ATL as well as ICO, but overall I have faith that IRM are well intentioned and that eventually there will be profits for holders, and obviously others can see it too as the price has been steady for a long time now, and with first payments due end of this month followed by the video and ordering of 1200 or so new ASICS I think each month things will get better and better.
Some of you may disagree and that is fine, I am not here to tell anyone that they should invest in IRM nor am I here to tell anyone they shouldn't it is a personal choice/risk, like any investment but one thing I will say is these guys are NOT scammers, they have just cracked a little under pressure and whilst I have some sympathy for them with that, a more professional/friendly attitude on-line will see IRM earn some respect in the community instead of taking the confrontational approach.
Will post here how the payouts are, what they are like and also how the new Dashboard is and any other updates if anyone is interested.
