Hey everyone - thanks so much for the kind words! I'm very happy that I made such a positive impact for people here, and I hope I've encouraged others to stand against fraud.

Just stopped by to see the new forum design but I see it's not live yet. Undecided

My scam busting days are over, but I'll still pop by from time to time to visit old friends or add some new jokes/pictures.

Thanks again for this thread - you words meant a lot to me.

Even from me? haha

You've done a great service to the community, but if I may ask, why cash out 100%? If Bitcoin was good to you, let you retire, gave you your dream house, why not be good to it? At least hold onto a handful of Bitcoins and watch the future unfold with the rest of us.

I guess the money sometimes gets the best of us, and we're all tempted to the wealth in many forms.
I don't think he cashed out everything, but most of it did get converted to fiat, but if by some chance bitcoin price goes down, he could just rebuy lower and hold even larger amount of bitcoins then.

cheers

More to the point: if he has enough fiat to live on for the rest of his life, he has the wherewithal to support Bitcoin without worrying about where his money's going to come from. People like that can shoulder projects that go begging because there's no clear profit in them.

Hi Vod,

You and I had many issues together in the past. You could almost say that I'm glad to see you go, but it also gives me a sad feeling. You were like a challenge for me, a hard challenge I had to overcome in order to do something out here. You'd probably expect something like "I'd hope you sink" from me, but no. I hope you have a great time sailing and if you ever lay down in the Netherlands (probably not), go ahead and visit me

.

Peace man, you served the forums well.

The community will miss you VOd.

Indeed. In the couple years that I've been here, I learned to trust your judgment. I wish I could say the same about those who you are "passing the torch" to. I won't name names, because of the vindictiveness that will come with it.

But I see quite a lot of gaming of the trust system -- whether that's hitting up as many trusted escrows for their services as possible to maximize trusted feedback, neg repping users without evidence or for petty personal differences, using various alt accounts to bolster arguments in regards to trust abuse, or otherwise.

There are serious long cons being built here. If you want to trust forum users -- particularly anonymous users who have not publicly disclosed their identity -- based on a green number on their profile..... I say, good luck in life.

There is a lot more to a user's reputation than that green number. Actions speak volumes.

Ouch, you can ask one of the users with his contact details to be hold of him and see what he can do.

A shame to see any scam busters leave. I grow tired of all the OgNasty alts that pop up trying to scam. Here's one today: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=522015

It was nice when there were people labeling all these scammers. I don't even want to attempt to take the time to deal with all these imposters. They clearly have more free time than I do.

Clearly a staff member should be doing the cleanups, not self made pretend cops

~ my opinion.

I am glad bitcoin served you nicely, and want to thank you for all the effort you've put in this forum and community.
Hope you have a wonderful time sailing!

That been said, i'm also very surprised you dumped most of your bitcoins for fiat,...

Well, that's what I would have done had I been fortunate (or brave) enough to have become an early adopter back in '11.

It's an old tradition in Canada that first grew in the penny-stock arena: when you make a big score, you cash in (most of) your chips and buy a nice house for cash on the barrelhead. Then, you never have to worry about mortgages and suchlike; you only have to worry about food, car-related expenses and property taxes.

( Now you know why Vancouver property taxes were so low back in tha day. Grin

Bitcoin has been very nice to me, allowing me to retire early at age 43.

Congratulations! And may your retirement last longer than the Trailer Park Boys'. Grin

So Vod, considering you are off you want to be a gent and remove your feedback?

I am still here and still paying off my debts so you know, not a scam or I would be long gone by now.

Be a gent and prove that you are able to change.
