This is not an “ad hominem” attack whereby I’m arguing that neucoin is a good coin based on the fact that Gekko is a despicable sociopath. I’m just pointing out that Gekko is a despicable sociopath. He probably agrees. Do you agree Gekko that you’re a despicable sociopath?
He posts here all the time. People should know what he is so that they can judge his statements accordingly.
Hilarious, Jonald, that you got all sensitive all of a sudden. Maybe it was that lonely bottle of wine on Saturday night.
Ad hominem attack? Come on man, you gotta bring it better than that.
Most here are sophisticated enough to see right through that weak tactic.
AD HOMINEM ATTACKS IS ALL YOU TROLLS EVER DO! NONE OF YOU EVER TALKS ABOUT THE PROJECT ITSELF!
But here’s my question… Rizz, Malatesta, Jonald, Tibanne… are you actually defending Gekko? or are you saying he’s irrelevant? Or you think people here just shouldn’t be so harsh as to judge him?
Here are two more essential Gekko quotes below. Go ahead, defend your homeboy.
Gekko painting perfect picture of himself in one sentence. He’s referring to half of humanity.
Women exist to clean my house, cook my dinner and suck my dick, and I employ them as such.
And here is one of his many exchanges with the unobtainium team, his previous compadres and partners:
Communicating simple things like, "it's money that flies across the internet, and this one is valuable because it's rare, like gold" is hard enough without complications and derivatives and having people ask questions about that. Doing it across cultures is even harder.
It's a lot simpler to get a black coffee than a complicated frozen skinny soy latte moche chocha razzleberry whatever at Starbucks when you're in Beijing.
Simple and elegant is better. Mac is a bicycle for your mind. UNO is a solid place to store your crypto.
This message is clear and your point made, and that's fine. We move on with knowledge and experience and tomorrow is a new day.
However, as a member of UNO's core community of supporters here, I'm disappointed and ashamed by your
posts on Reddit yesterday, Gekko. Threat of
buy sell-wall over Mark's head aside, hurling such names and insults, particularly in the face of a graceful withdrawal, is an utter contradiction to the "streamlined message" and entry-friendly image you purportedly wish to protect and promote. You may not agree with him or even respect him, but you've only ever received polite discourse from the man. At worst, he was merely civil when he sent you the quoted message in March about the Un-Ex not being open to you, and that simply to a dinky experimental trading group, of all things.
After your unexpected outburst in our Reddit discussion in March, I have not since directly engaged with you for anything except your China program last month. We have repeatedly chosen grace and peace over confrontation for the sake of the community's cohesion. However, your persistent belligerence is a strong and corrosive force to UNO's greater reputation as a coin and for us as a community. Such behaviour harms our collaboration in future projects and ultimately damages our common goal of wider adoption. If you truly believe in what you're trying to protect with your efforts on Reddit, such behaviour has no place here.
I am a vicious prick. Oblivious to your opinion of me. Things need to get done sometimes. Being polite to each other constantly gets very little done.
As I just mentioned to someone else in a PM, one of the downsides of a fair launch is no leadership. Thus it occasionally comes down to Darwinian chest beating, the showing of teeth, and the demonstration of financial dominance to get shit done.
Blazer doesn't want to lead, FK organizes and keeps the peace, I don't want to lead on a full time basis but dammit, when things need to get done, somebody has to actually say it.
As we are largely composed of drunks, stoners and the occasional developmentally challenged, somebody needs to pick up the ball, throw it, and order the most qualified people to run with it.
I have asked IMZ to run with the ball of getting all the mentions of the private trader club off of reddit, unobtanium.uno and the OP here. He will communicate with those people capable of making those changes.
This is a half million dollar business gentlemen. It should be worth a lot more, and it is not currently.
This can be fixed if everyone picks up a goddamned ball and runs with it sometimes and gives no fucks about any feet that might be trod upon.
This is not a book club or a tea party. Reach down, count 'em, make sure there are still two, and march towards the next level of success.
Working well together does not mean hugging each other's nuts.
I may not like you either Craigv. Who gives a shit? As long as we both do what is best for the common goal. 80BTC to 1UNO.
So, I would suggest we take a poll, but there's no point because the result would be so obvious.
Is Neucoin's fiercest critic a despicable sociopath? Or is he only, as he says himself “a vicious prick”?
And if you cretin trolls think this post is "off topic", why don't you try talking about the project itself instead of only attacking the people that are actually doing the work to make it happen.
