Barabbas, when I talk of a takeover I'm not talking about the same organised takeover that Gatti has presented, which is why I wrote that long post about how I don't agree with giving money to yet another person offering a "solution". Templar's goons are not the only alternative, can you understand that?
What I really mean is that the community here needs to stand up and not be led like sheep by another so called leader, if it's possible we need to take this coin and do what we can with it, rejecting those people that stand up and act like next of kin. As far as I'm concerned they have no business acting like the leaders of the takeover. This is Libertycoin, we should get good, honest people together to oust all this ego crap and give this coin a fresh start truly led by the community.
Is that really so impossible?
Nothing is impossible... under normal circumstances. But these ones here are NOT normal circumstances. They have not been since the beginning for Templar/Carlitos started this as just another one of his scams, just a bit more sophisticated, bringing in IE to quickly maximize his take. You have to understand -if you want to understand, that is- that in only 3 days, IconicExpert not just doubled, and then some, the price of Libertycoin, but expanded the community in a huge manner and got a real, big, enthusiastic community behind the idea of the coin. Then, when I made obvious, demonstrable, proven beyond any doubt, that Carlitos was a scammer, the attempt at take over was made to get IconicExpert leading what it was going to be, obviously, one of the successes of the year in crypto. EVERYONE was supporting that take over and EVERYONE was enthusiastic about it. And Gatti and Shogun (and the other 3), aligning themselves with Carlitos, ultimately aborted what would have been a hugely successful take over.
Is it possible now? No, I don't believe so. Number one, there's a land-grab run on, as you are witnessing, by Shogun, Gatti and co. Numer 2, there's no community to speak of. There are a few bagholders, not a community at all. And number three, sorry but you are wrong: A leader is needed for any successful take over. But a leader who brings leading qualities to the table, who has an idea, a plan and a roadmap, not these inept idiots that apparently just bought out Carlitos. They won't do anything, they will achieve nothing and, in less than a month, this coin will be worth nothing but a couple of satoshis.
I'm afraid the answer to your question is, ultimately, yes. It is so impossible. But, if I am wrong and there's even a glimmer of possibility, it will be without people like gatti, shogun and the other three, that's for sure.
There's an excellent example of a coin take over that ultimately stands a great possibility to be successful. It is called Pinkcoin and just made the first entry in my WALL OF HONOR. I'd point it out to you, Bulletproof, to see how difficult it is and what it takes to just be back in the potentiality of success. None of the qualities of the dev team and, more even than that, the community, applies here. Not a single one. You seem to believe that the community that once was here, still is. And, sadly, that is not the case.
And, coinspredator, sincerely, that is precisely what I have to bring to this particular table at this moment trying to prevent that you are taken, again, by the people that have been the enemies of this coin and the community than it once supported it, that are now trying to skim even more from you after they destroyed it when it was exploding. But that's not what you, a bagholder, want to hear. You want to be sold anything, whatever it is, that you choose to perceive as a glimmer of hope to lessen your loss... especially if whatever heavy lifting is done by someone else. So, logically, someone who points what is NOT the route to follow, naturally, is not going to be a welcoming voice by you. Have a very nice day you too, ok?
Sad IE just cannot stop....
