What is clear is the lack of direction in crypto that allows self serving trolls to take advantage of others, more than anything it is these self serving trolls that need to be rooted out of crypto just like all other scammers in society.
Crypto is about mathematics order and precision not some loosely based self serving policing trolls. Every one can investigate and question but when your own conclusions, opinion and prejudices also become judge jury and executioner it is you who have lost the concept of Satoshi's intent and crypto.
Crypto is also a voting system if you believe you represent anybody then you will need a vote first that is called self determination and democracy the founding stones of any system that want to survive.
i agree direction is fuzzy due to gigantic size of btc. gigantic things make slow moves
yes and when you make your own conclusions you can withdraw your trust at any point in time. noone can force you to trust something. this i guess is your "judge jury and executioner" part in your mind and i disagree (see end of post). people might follow your example and they are free to do so. the thing you are suggesting is to suppress information because some people are involved too deep. thats the antithesis of working true democracy or freedom. uninformed people can be easily taken advantaged of.
we are not here to protect peoples trust/investment. free dissemination of information and giving the option to opt out. if you believe in GAW, by all means keep your trust there. the fact you want us "self righteous clowns" to stop informing others is downright evil (its funny you mention morals ). i understand you want to salvage your money from turd wagon you do not believe in anymore. its not our problem really. theres been so much effort put into informing that people have to take responsibility for their actions at some point
the end result will be twofold:
1. decision of people to remove or add trust to GAW crypto
2. gov will decide if punishment is needed for GAWs "business model". investigation is underway
this community has no power to influence number 2 and this is your "judge jury and executioner" part in reality. you have to take responsibility for 1.
How utterly presumptuous, I do not mention GAW nor do I state whether I support them or not. I beg to question the actions of those who have now become our newly self appointed crypto-nazi-police-force 'CNPF'. It is these people that now wish to impose their opinion and attack anyone who don't simply submit to their way of thinking. Just like governments they want to tell other people what to do and how to think. Some crypto news, we are all old enough to read do our own research, form our own opinions and make our own decisions and we don't need the CNPF telling us what to think or do. At least I still have a vote when it comes to the government but I don't recall voting for the crypto nazi's. The crypto nazi's pose an even bigger threat to crypto as a whole, than GAW, and should be eradicated with the same distaste and vigour.
HAHA everyone here is now officially worse than GAW. Because bitflux said so.
Puts everyone well in their place that guy does :-)
For the record, bitflux, if you don't like what people are saying here, don't read i. It's that simple. If it makes you angry, hurts you or upsets you, move on to something else.
It is the responsibility of everyone in crypto to ensure that people have as much information as possible available to them. The last thing we need is heavy handed regulation of the type you seem to dream of just to deal with some half arsed scam artists, especially not when we are perfectly capable of looking after our own. Maybe you're an arch statist, and can't function without someone in authority telling you the difference between right and wrong? Whatever it is, don't go getting too righteous with the folk here. They helped me see the light way back when...
