Bob creates random coin named something like Donkeycoin, issues an IPO, uses the IPO money to manipulate the market and pump the coin, then dumps on everyone.
Vitalik creates coin, issues an IPO, calls it not an IPO, uses the IPO money to manipulate the market and pump the coin, then dumps on everyone.
What exactly is the difference here?
This thread is a joke.
Vitalik is a talented developer and Bobsurplus does not even know how to code (I think he admitted this himself).
I absolutely understand why many people have concerns about ICOs and presales but this is not a fair comparison at all.
Vitalik will continue to support Ethereum long term. Bobsurplus has a history of jumping from coin to coin after he has extracted maximum profits
"concerns"? .. I got far more than that!
Every IPO, ICO etc is scammy bullshit!
All they are.. Are digital ponzi token pushers with their hands out.
Edit:
If you can't financially support your venture on launch don't expect me to pay for it.
If they were an acceptable investment the financial world would be involved..
Hmm I wonder why they stay away?
Besides you can't strut around the crypto scene pretending this is a REGULATED scene/market stealing jargon and other assorted regulated market stuff.
Edit2:
Take Blocknet for example he admitted he had 75% of the coding done before posting about it.
Then showed up here asking for a million dollars usd in Bitcoin to finish/continue it..
When I asked him why so much he said "to ensure it's a success" oh Danny LOL
Yeah I'd say if you suckered these greedy morons around here into giving you a million dollars for an ICO then yeah I guess you can call it a success ahahahahaha
How much did it cost him to do the previous 75% of the work then?
3 million?
Hmm strange I have been coding since 2002 roughly and wrote a lot of code and never got paid a cent.. Maybe I should have asked for a million dollars then posted the code on Github so You guys can do the work for free for me then walk off with the cash claiming the community failed to support my venture..
Sound familiar?
The funny thing is always watching you guys rationalize bad behavior around here..
I admit it's the main reason I have come here.. It amuses my balls off watching idiots try LOL
