I've been reading all the bashing going on for the past couple of months, from people who have been in the crypto space for some time now, towards these new investors trying to make a quick buck with minimal effort. And truth be told you all were warned by them ... in several occasions, and instead of listening you were kicking and screaming that they are spreading fud and that they ruined your perfect get rich platform. Well sorry to say but that was not the case, they've been around long enough to see ICO devs get the money and run away and so much more, so in a sense they were trying to protect you. So if they come out a bit harsh, and say we told you so ... well they kinda did and they are justified to do so.
But in my opinion kicking someone while he is down is not the way to go about it.
What I would suggest ... all the people who lost money in bitconnect, get together, form a community in this space, use the coin you already have, make a proper roadmap, have a plan and relaunch as something else that people can actually trust and invest in.
There is a million and a half of you guys, I'm sure you can find capable programmers, marketeers etc amongst you all, and if you do get together then the rest of the crypto community that is bashing you right now will stand behind you and support you. That you can count on.
Just my 2 cents.
Fair enough regarding kicking. I'm trying not to kick the victims too hard, aside of calling them morons occasionally. Shills on the other hand - fair game.
But I don't think it makes sense to try to resuscitate BCC. Scammers still own millions of coins and will dump them anytime the price goes up. Any talent that could take on this project would be much better used on something that does not have a scam baggage. If someone could create value out of a failed scam they surely could create the same or better value out of a brand new coin/token (not that we need another any more of those TBH). That's before we even get into potential legal trouble.
See Paycoin.
You nailed it perfectly.
Capable people would have avoided this from the start and in the future because you may get labeled a scammer and swept up into legal trouble just by trying to lead a change.
No thanks.
The bitcointalk trolls have been rather tame imo.
I remember with Bitshares there was decentrizethis that would just FUD so hard about communism or something but never seemed to affect it. I don't think what people say about a project really makes any difference, either it works or it doesn't.
