Topic: GAW / Josh Garza discussion Paycoin XPY xpy.io ION ionomy. ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) - page 202. (Read 3377790 times)

I'll go with your definition. Created to defraud people from the outset.

Now it's very clear that Ionomy has been set up to to do just this. I am not going to give you the reason why because you keep saying you have learnt your lesson with XPY. So please answer the question.

So, based on your definition of a scam, and what you have learnt with XPY, IS IONOMY A SCAM OR NOT?

On the contrary, bitpop has shown he is able to have reasonable and intelligent discussion

Unfortunately I don't get a lot of online time, it's spread so thinly however I will try to find time to check out your recommendation.

Occam's razor, one of my favourites for cutting through noise!

My behaviour on all my investments has been consistent. I get positively excited by my investments, so I say positive things, I look for positive angles, I tell people about them. This is what I have done with all of them. I report on what I do, think, feel.

Unlike a pumper and dumper (and it is a strategy used by many), I do not act positively while I think negative or the converse. You will see, on all my previous coin investments. I do not run a trading service that instructs people to buy or sell. But I have been known to tell people what I am doing and why. It's social media, some people post what's in their sandwich. Also unlike a pumper and dumper, i'd have to sell my holding. I did not, I held it all the way until I swapped it last week.

Regardless of what happens on public forums, online etc... I believe a persons INTENT defines them. It's OK to be wrong, but in the end, if your intent is bad, the universe WILL find a way to settle the score.

So, back to Occam's razor....

The simplest explanation is I did the same with XPY as I did with all my prior coin investments. The difference with XPY is it turned to be a scam.

I thought XPY was real, I thought Cantor Fitzgerald would not get involved in a scam, I thought JG previous reported successes were real, I thought major holders on the leaderboards who had direct access to JG would have noticed if it was a scam, all this turned out to be BS and from all my investments, they really had me hook-line and sinker.

There is no conspiracy theory here for me.

It was simple. JG got me, I was scammed. I lost a ton of money along with hundreds of others.

The unique ethics and skills you have will match very well with the creators of the site.

He's the guy posing with Garza in a picture of a warehouse pretending that it's a mining farm.

You can't really have it both ways. I mean you sound intelligent enough to craft a message that sounds like a pump, repeatedly, multiple observers interpret it as such, and a year later you plead ignorance. All I'm saying is that I'm siding with Occam's razor on this one. You're a pump'n'dumper, perhaps you got burned by Garza, dogs and fleas and all that, but that's really a weak excuse.

I'll give you credit for coming here though.

He is sucking you into his vortex of slime. Ignore for sanity.

I'm certain Garza has nothing to do with this, he is a wanted man by many including most involved in this project. If that's being given as the main "proof" that it's a scam, then it's too weak and of course, untrue. Please tell me as many reasons as you can. I will find out.

Some guys here in this thread are very knowledgable so I hope they see my request, and tell me the reasons they think need to be looked at, I can and will do this thoroughly.

Again, if anyone wants to keep their reasons private, then PM me. It's within my interests to investigate every reason.

I don't see why it could t continue here, it is an extension of XPY which is an extension of Garza and that is what this thread is about. It's up to the ION crew to differentiate themselves. And right now they are doing a piss poor job of that. $0.20 ICO? Come on $20 floor much? Increased staking for certain investors. Huge pre-mine. Clone POS coin with no new features. Masternodes = Prime Controllers. Electrifying stakers...Red Rocket Boost much? It's he same damn thing as XPY just under a different name.

If they want people to take this seriously they should start fresh, AGAIN and make it NOTHING like Garza or XPY. You see why almost everyone but 200 people in the crypto sphere think it's a scam? They have a lot to prove, the onus is on them.

Scam as in "wilful intent to defraud investors" or scam as in "poor business plan"? The word is thrown about so much, we should agree on a definition.

Tell me the reason why you think it is, and i'll check it out.

It's easier to prove something "IS" something than to prove something is "NOT" something.

You know, the whole "proving a negative" thing.

It takes only a single fact to prove a positive.

If someone wants to PM me the reasons, that's fine too. Also, as I see, this is probably the wrong thread for the discussion so I do apologise, but this is where the question was asked. (If I should continue on the other thread, please tell me and I will do so)

I may or may not lack intelligence. But do not underestimate what greed can do to your sensible side. I was blinded by it. I am not ashamed to admit it. If I did not admit this to myself, then I will be burned again for the same reason. Lesson learned.

Thanks for the thread, i'll check it out.

this thread gets updated once a while but justice is slow. here is the latest:

Imho the coin, the website, the platform, the games, everything is not designed as a scam. When I read about EDON I saw red flags written all over it. Here in BCT all ICO's are called scam, so no news to me. But we can discuss it in the ION thread if you want.

What makes you think Mordica is involved?

Is there a specific thread/location I can follow the updates/whereabouts of Garza? I'm sure there must be one out there somewhere.

Does anyone care what I think?

I trade for profits, anyone who doesn't will eventually lose all their money.

The markets are full of people that will gleefully take your BTC. They are called traders.

You must ALWAYS trade carefully or you will lose your shirt.

i agree bad execution doesnt mean a scam. hence why people already raised some questions about this ion thing (for one apple/gplay store terms of service issues)

btw no one has forgotten JG. eagerly waiting for him to get deported back to his roots in mexico where he meets a friendly cocaine dealer. i guess prison is fine too  
he was a total moron tho and needed a lot of help to run the ponzi (clear from the leaked emails). these iON people are still working with some of the tech people (mordica for example) who knew they were selling air

And yes, I did get a lot of shit! They were all called scams from the start. I think in the end, BOOM did turn out to be a scam, but not until long after I left.

I've not been involved in a coin that was not called a scam at the start. I even read ETH is a scam. So, in the end, hearing a coin is a scam does not mean anything, it seems ALL coins are branded scams at the start. I have not found one that wasn't.

My approach was the same, exactly the same. I get very enthusiastic about my investments and I am not convinced this is a bad thing as yet.

Some call ALL altcoins a scam, just because they are altcoins. Now we can debate what the word "scam" means to find if something is a scam.

For me, a scam is a scheme/plan designed from the outset with the primary INTENT to steal money from someone through means of DECEPTION, FRAUD, LIES.

A scheme/plan/coin that fails due to bad execution or planning I would not consider a scam. More a bad investment.

For me, personally, the INTENT is extremely important .

did you or do you get shit for those other coins? MOON, MINT, BOOM, BLACKCOIN

i think your approach with xpy was slightly different

I have no intention of giving up twitter or cryptocurrency. Why should I? If you don't like my tweets, then unfollow me. I do not expect to please everyone.

But, I didn't mean to upset you. This is the lesson I learned. Also, surely you agree that everyone should be careful how they invest? They should be aware who they are sending their money to and also not get too confident that they cannot be scammed - because they can be wrong.
