The 10k pump and dump with Aero is mentioned a couple times...

This is why people say scam... And this why given enough time And in most cases they are right.
The XC Dan parts and Aero's "code review".... This guy is sketchy. Makes you realize even more than you assumed these guys are working together behind the scenes. And as a single investor the deck is stacked against you.
Many in crypto already know this. There is huge risk. The chances of making money over any long period of time are small.
I closed 90% of my Crypto holdings about a month ago. I've kept small amounts of a few coins like Aero just in case, but have gone back to buying Bitcoin. I think the side chains stuff has the real potential to make all of these separate coins irrelevant. That's not investment advice, just my opinion.
I still check this thread and the new talk site often. I'd love to see something happen here. Do I think it's likely? Not really. Even if the tech works it has to become popular. The aero community is the same handful of people that have been here for months. Just like the trolls and fudsters have an agenda, the cheerleaders here do too. The reality is that none of them are in control, none know what's actually going on. The hang on the smallest scraps from the Dev like everyone else.
Sorry for the preachy post. Reading the Skype logs on the link was pretty upsetting. I had a friend reach out to me yesterday to see if I can help him out. He invested more money in crypto than he should have and is now in a bad position. His wife has no idea. It's not something you ever want to hear.
Stay safe out there. Everything written has an agenda.
Even your own words I suspect have an agenda!!!
