I wonder what Kees his reaction is going to be.
There are really only two possibilities:
- Dumping his bags asap and disappearing (unlikely, there are no buy walls on Nova, the few that were placed were 100% his, and now even those moved lower).
- Deny everything, try to lure more people in and then dump again (most likely).
The buy walls on Nova and yobit where mine, or at least, I controll them. I represent a group of investors and manage the funds. I am in crypto long enough to see the potential of a coin, but at this point in time I can no longer justify taking risk on AMS, I want to believe Kees, but I am not going to risk btc in the orderbook. Believe me, those btc are still in my account and there are a lot more then you saw so far.
The thing is, this coin has been as good as dead for over a year, then suddenly the number of coins got tripled without any notification ahead of time or a vote by the community. Now that this story pop's up it is the drop that float's the bucket as we say in Dutch, not sure if that can be translated in the way I just did, but I can no longer justify the risk for the people i represent.
I will not dump my AMS coins, there has been a lot of volatility and volume in the history of this coin, my profit so far are those AMS coins I now have, maybe a little more, but nothing spectacular or in line to what i can be if we all work together as a community like we have been doing for the last weeks. If this project will turn out worthless, all I lose is time. That is ok, because I enjoy what I do enough to not get paid.
To sum it up, Kees needs to convince me with his skills and ideas so I know they are worth investing in, right now I am not. I caught that first dump on nova and made an instant profit by selling on yobit, now my coins are waiting to be convinced by Kees so we can really get this party started and turn this project into a sounds success which I know it can be. The airdrop raised a lot of attention and I like the way how Kees handled this so far, I got businesses ready to start accepting AMS and got marketing tools like stickers and t-shirts ready to be printed.
To conclude I want to let you all know that I've informed Kees about information I've gathered on him, including his home address. A little digging on the internet gives you a lot of information, he is not anonymous to me. I am monitoring the blockchain to see if he keeps his promises, there are a zillion reason why a coindev should not be trusted so unfortunately those are the things I need to do, or feel that I need to do to ensure safety of investors funds, I am not proud on this, but it is the world of bitcointalk we live in, trust no one. I want him to know there will be no hard feelings if he abandons this project now, but at the same time warn him not to scam people for personal gain we've seen enough of that bs already and I will release those details so everybody that loses money can do what they feel is right at that point, but again I really don't think that will be needed in this kees
Summary: we are at a breaking point for AMS, either will Kees now abandon this project, clear the orderbooks and take out a little sum of money for his work. Or he goes for it, knowing I did my due diligence to make sure the rest of his life is going to be unpleasant if he tries to scam us. To be clear on this last point, we will completely back Kees in his decisions and vision for AMS, but will not accept him breaking his promises to the community regarding the newly minted 40M coins.
I appreciate you thoughts and insight.
