After a long weekend, I find PMs in my inbox calling me a Nazi and this thread.
Ah, the heartwarming cosy
fireplace stake bitcointalk is
We are registered on this forum since 3 days. On day 2 a Bitcoin-Foundation member
gave us a extremly negative trust-rating. We gave him no reason for this!
Was it because of the product we're offering?
Unfortunately, the thread no longer exists (possibly because I reported it).
I did not give you a negative trust rating because of the product you offered, but for the means by which you tried to promote it.
As a (imho) experienced bitcointalk user, I took the liberty to judge your offer as a potential scam and ponzi scheme.
Also, I expressed my concerns about your promise of tax-free gains.
I explained that in the thread, as you might or might not have read before it was deleted.
Is this a case of legit oppinion for a product, or is it a interventionist move to talk down
a eventual undermining of bitcoin by a 100% legit project, named "Marihuana-Stocks"?
I made the private decision to use the trust system on this forum to warn others about potentially "scammy" "investment opportunities".
Without further evidence of your claims, I will stand by my negative rating.
I am absolutely willing to remove my negative rating once I see considerable evidence against my judgement.
Also, please feel free to leave negative feedback for me yourself if you feel misjudged, or if you consider my judgements inappropriate.
And here my question again: Is Bitcoin-Foundation a socialist operation? Do the murder everything bitcoin is standing for?
First of all, I am not a representative of the Bitcoin Foundation, but a mere mortal member.
Second, my trust ratings here do not reflect the opinions of the Foundation or other members of the Foundation.
Third, WTF have you been smoking?
How nice to hear a statement about your rating.I wrote 2 messages to you, but you didn't find it necessary to say something about it. Which is ok and your legit choice. It's your opinion and i respect that. But i had to ask myself, if your rating is made upon your experience with our product or just came from resentments you may have for us.
The next evident point is, that in fact tax freedom is a true liberal value and i think, everybody should decide by himself, if he, or if he not want to pay taxes for something. If that decision is made pro taxes, that is ok and respectable too, but if that payment is forced and someone can't put the payment in context with concrete services (and that may be the case in large parts of this world) then he should have the freedom to do so. If i order a pizza today, i will pay the bill voluntarily, because i ordered it and i demanded that service. If i'm forced to pay taxes without a specific demand for a service or if i even don't get any service but the financing of a totalitarian regime..wouldn't it be legit to boycott any payment of further taxes? Because we said "No Taxes" that doesn't mean that someone is forced to don't pay them. He could if he wants to do so, but he must not!
Further i think, that Bitcoin-Foundation is in deed a organisation that stands for centralization, which is absolutely contrary to the BTC idea, and arrogate themselves to speak for the whole community, where there is in fact no consensus. They speak for themselves, not for me.
I won't leave a negative trust rating for you, why should i? Like i said: It is your opinion and that is 100 percent legit. BUT my following questions were legit too and i found it worth to talk about. Like you can read, i'm not alone with my thoughts.
I think we can, yes we should talk about everything and shouldn't forget any aspect of such important issues. Every opinion is worth to talk about.
We'll work on our trust-rating and methods of promoting our offers. We talked a lot about this in the past days and made a good progress i think. We really want to make this concept work and we stand behind this idea with full engagement.
I hope you'll hear a lot from us in the next months an change your mind on our credibility.
