It was seeing their offer of silver below spot that made me reach out to them and decide to become involved as I wanted to purchase one for myself and wanted to use escrow.
My involvement here is to keep buyers of their physical goods safe. Period.
...
and purchase silver below spot. Got it.Seriously Xian01, Paul Revere, and suchmoon.
Have you guys no shame?
You attack everyone here, even one of the oldest and trusted escrows on this forum.
Yep. Questioning one of the most respected escrows on these forums, when he's (un?)wittingly involved himself in a confidence scam, is shameful behavior alright. How will I ever be able to look at myself in the mirror again ?!?
Where is your shame for not seeing this scheme for what it really is ?
I won't even bother touching on the regulatory issues this coin is likely to face, should authorities decide to investigate; Anyone remember the hassle the physical Bitcoin guys went through for a while, way back when ?
It's like people don't learn from history around here or something.
Your line of questioning was extremely rude, and inappropriate.
Unless you have actual facts this this is a "confidence scam" than you have just insulted one of the most trusted people on bitcointalk without any proof.
So I would suggest before you look too foolish, that you let things play out before you throw out accusations at top members of this forum.
I would bet that a large percentage of members here have done a thing or two in their day, so basing a "scam" on something speculative, is not that intelligent.
I could be wrong, I will state that now, but I have no PROOF or reason at this point in time BEFORE the store is even open, and orders have been processed, to call this a scam.
I have definitely been wrong in the past, in a big way with GAW, and I came back to this forum to apologize to anyone I may have insulted, and was open to a requested Q & A, by someone I didn't even know....I was ridiculed none the less, with lines like tough shit, we don't care, and more childish remarks from so called people who care about the welfare of their families....see above comments.
It didn't bother me, as I moved on with my ventures, but these people have not, and insist on insulting people without any rationale.
This a far cry from a GAW scam IMO, they were operating for over 6 months and delivering on their goods and promises, before Josh went AWOL in the head.
The bitstone store isn't even up yet to my knowledge and no orders have been taken. I would be happy to order some various items, and see if this is the real deal.
If not, they you guys can all call scam until you turn blue in the face.
thanks!
