Well I was at an ATH of around 1 million so I still made out good from 2017. There is nothing wrong with securing gains. At any rate, I don't want to reiterate things too much. The devs are stand up guys but I simply don't agree with them on a lot of things. My rationale for announcing it was to give everyone a fair chance. I had enough BTX to significantly impact the price so I would rather them know who and why than for them to say hmmm I wonder why the price dropped 8 dollars in a single day even before the weekly airdrop. Everything since has been simple economics rather than some boogeyman that spreads FUD. Being truthful and transparent can never be a bad thing. At any rate, I wont come back to this topic anymore. I have to go create the first price stabilized cryptocurrency on the market.
Did I say that there is anything wrong with securing your gains? No, not at all. What I meant was when I, myself, see that securing my gains is only possible at the expense of every other investors' profits and can possibly crash the whole market, I'll have second thoughts about doing what I want to do, and try not to be selfish and think of other members of the community too before doing anything.
The current devs are indeed stand up guys and from what I have seen of them, they are all around good and hard working people, no doubt about that.
You just can't say that everything has been economics since after your announcement, because, let me say this with an example;
Imagine you are standing beside a huge stack of woods, and everything is nice and quite. But then you pour gas on a single piece of those woods, set it on fire and then place it near the rest of them, then, of course, everything will happen according to the laws of chemistry and the whole stack of woods starts to burn and will be destroyed. I'm sorry but the real world does not work like that and you can't just say that it's economics that I selfishly decided to crash the whole market with a wrong move.
OK, since you are probably not coming back to this thread as you said (but I doubt it
), I wish you success in your next projects. And one last note; there is something that I've always believed in and it's that what goes around, comes around.
