Based on my experience:
1) when someone are constantly calling you a liar, you start to react less restrained ...
2) the way of promotion of the project can be different, you can buy FB likes, and you can advertise on TV, in both cases you pay money, in both cases have an impact on the human consciousness ... but am I not right if I say that the success of the project largely depends on the popularity of the project?
3) ICO is risky, I liked the idea of the PARAGON project ... I was ready to lose my money, although I hope for the best...
4) I do not know is PRG scam or not, but I'm sure that if they really create an infrastructure, PRG will be polpular, and the project will be successful...
While I agree with the logic of the buying facebook likes, one (tv commercial) is overt and the other (bangladeshi like-farm) is covert...covert by nature draws distrust.
I was one of the few that didn't like the project, but invested anyway, because I always make it a point to invest a couple hundred in something I never would. First time I've had some sketchy feelings about what I did. I love MJ and want to see it deregulated, but this token was a cheap grab at a hot-ticket commodity. The true value of a token is based on it's utility...hence why, even if it's sustainable, bitcoin is in a huge speculative bubble. If PRG place is the only place that accepts PRG, and they only accept PRG...then they better damn well be a viable business. Not some hopeful hipster spot for the masses with aspergers.
I'm not trolling...I'm not saying it's impossible...I'm saying that when you factor in ALL of the data, as a betting man it seems pretty shady. Not saying it's a scam but it might be a fraudulent project where they never really had the skills nor possibly intention to take the project to global recognition.
I invested on the chance that the weed-hype would draw in investors...I was right. I thought it was going to be some dispensary or something...ok, douchey but money doesn't care if you're a douche in colorado. However more I see this is supposed to be sort of like a starbucks for marijuana?...where you pay to rent a booth that no one else can sit in if you want to?... some crap like that. No one seems to explain to all the 'trolls' wtf this project actually has that should dissuade their skepticism. They just say "give them time trolls" but has anyone actually explained to the plebs what the whitepaper says? And then argue the viability of what theyre proposing?
Just saying I don't care to read the white papers for my crap shoots...that's why it's craps. But damn from what I gather after reading it sounds like a system that wont really thrive in capitalist societies.... You guys understand that the whole premise is that they garner HUGE adoption which leads to people buying PRG to use in the stupid space... their reputation thus far all across the internet is horrible... but forget all the trolls and shills alike, what kind of product
could they come up with that would persuade people to buy their specific currency to use at said space?...
Unless the real world viability/utility is there, the price is only going to go up/down because of trading bots and the bag holders who try to play against them.
This girl is no Vitaly guys...
