Neither will they use Bitcoin. Might as well sell all your crypto now and trade magic cards.

Protip, no Icelanders or Indians will utilize these coins on a massive level.  Play the charts and have fun fellas!

Yeah, I'm with you on being confused about the late happenings and news around the coin. Some timings seems suspicious, and some news and reports on the other hand gives some confidence.


Here's some bits that I've managed to write down:

  on a lighter note tell  jrich76 he can sleep now i saw maza coin just jump up 2.86% equal pumps is done his pump for friday 

I watched this movie on tv a few weeks ago. It was bizarre lol

This coin will be huge no doubt and many are excited to see its potential. That WSJ article is great news and publicity. Payu has done a great outstanding job on this development and putting himself out there. Don't kick yourselves in the ass by selling low, you're only missing out and will eventually regret it I can guarantee that.

Yeah, I guess I deserved that.

Been busting my balls off trying to open peoples minds and stop them over reacting!

I never got a clapping black dude! shiyt.

Since we're all cynical now, let me be even more cynical. Does it really matter at this point? I keep seeing twitter retweets from people, mostly non-crypto people tweeting out the WSJ article. It has great international play and most people read headlines, not meat of the story. Also How many crypto users here are lazy and don't read more than 2 pages on a coin thread?

Whatever the truth is, the myth has been created, you'd be surprised how little people research or read between the lines, and let's be honest what great business venture wasn't started with a little bit of bullshit on top (like Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer lying to IBM they had DOS ready to go when they actually had to scramble to buy someone else's source code for example).

I think a lot of people have invested so much money in it already and whales have been playing so many games the last 36 hours, there is at the least another epic pump coming in so plenty of time to get out, and who knows the myth may endure and excel it to such heights the Lakota chiefs will have no choice but to go along with it once Payu Clause starts handing out fat stacks of paper wallets to their people.

Maybe the council said yes and changed their minds. Maybe the council is needlessly complicated like they typically are and one group says yes but another says no afterwards. Maybe he thinks the council is useless and corrupt and has gone rogue for the greater good for a lack of a better term. We'll know tomorrow from investigations and probably explanations on twitter.

Maybe this is all play on words endlessly. It can be backed and supported by the council but not "officially endorsed"... but considering the FBI rang them up and told them off about the idea maybe its best for them to take distance and let him unleash this decentralized currency for them.

Yea...I've got a few thousand maza and want it take off...but that is sketchy.

It has now become crystal clear that the tribal chiefs to not endorse Mazacoin and that Payu went rogue and did this on his own. Wall Street Journal edited their article with this new information. http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/03/07/lakota-indian-promotes-new-digital-currency-mazacoin/


So one would ask why would mazacoin.org website list this false information?


since this clearly is not "official" in any way shape or form.

This too, if it all works out for them.
I do believe Payu was selling the coins face to face (paper i thinks) to people at conventions for $0.10 a coin, im guessing was something to garner support etc

Could be in the long run, only in the short term with whales on the roam.
The coin is in a lot of question right now, but most coins get this "is it a scam" workover and it can be easy to read into simple things like inactive tweeting as a bad sign instead of something more obvious, I've been in the exact state of panic there for twitter to realise the hev (forget the coin forgive me) just flipping went to bed when a lot of fire kicked off.
I see a lot of differences in this coin, mainly, this payu putting himself out there in the public arena, as well as obviously attending all sorts of meetings across America.

Active devs stated intended value for this coin is $0.25 -1.00 short term.

Is mazacoin still a good investment?

Maybe he's just an overexcitable guy and gets carried away exaggerating things, I can imagine this Payu fella "running for president".

I'm happier to see him "careless" about people possibly seeing this as a scam because if it isn't, it doesn't matter in the long run.
Where as if this WAS a scam, it would be all in their best interests to come across as rosey and perfect as possible until cashout.

Always two sides to the coin

I know what you mean but people are watching and such words reflect negatively on the whole project. He should pick his words more carefully, especially if he wants to see the project succeed. This is not the way to go. It delegitimizes and undermines the project and so is crazy talk about Payu replacing the current Lakota president.  

Believe the article was out before they stopped posting, and besides, people go to sleep and spend time doing other things sometimes
