Why?
Is this a scam?
Just dig thru his post history and Internet. One of his strongest qualities - he hasn't completed a single project yet.
For the uninitiated, 3 years ago we had an idea for NEX which was a new coin. We got pledges of support, but we decided against creating a new coin. That was because the legal situation of new cryptocurrencies was murky at the time. NEM copied the original idea and is actually doing very well indeed. They took the risk that in hindsight we should have taken also. Nevertheless, back then we could not see a unique use-case for a new crypto-currency. A majority of the coins out there have no new functionality.
Right now, the legal environment is much clearer that in 2014, furthermore there is a new opportunity here that was not obvious in early 2014. That is, the emergence of Deep Learning as a disruptive new AI. This of course is not a new currency, but rather a protocol token that exists in the Ethereum block chain. Intuition Fabric (INT) is one of the few assets being introduced with real functionality.
That's the background here.
Anyway, ignore the trolls. They show up when they know a good thing is happening and want to discourage everyone from participating so they get a bigger piece of the pie. Smart folks know how to separate the noise from the true signal.
