Normally I would not reply to  Spoetnik topics/posts, but with this topic he touches on  a subject that I believe will be one of a few things that will keep the Crypto movement from becoming mainstream.

Unfortunately, you are speaking to a brick wall on the subject. As this communities' population exploded we have seen that when one appeals to greed, the community cannot throw money fast enough at whatever is being preached/sold etc. Look at the recent million+ dollar IPOs.

Offer foundational/ basic services, charitable services or even new innovation without appealing to greed and those donation addresses will be as barren as a desert ghost town.

The obsession with all Cryptos' being investments feeds into this greed. Very little resources are being spent on trying to get more mainstream demographics that would not see Cryptos as investments, but as tools for other pursuits. I have a few coins in deep freeze for now while I get the supporting services written and online. These coins are aimed at a different demographic and will not be marketed as investments. Will they succeed? They will only succeed if I can pull in a market outside of the current Crypto community, as they are not going to appeal to greed.
Anyway, this is not the thread to get into details.

The Crypto community needs an inrush of members not after the quick buck. There is nothing wrong with making money in Crypto, but it has become the only reason the vast majority people join any more. There is a reason many of the original devs do not participate or have left altogether. I was very close to this point myself, but I am giving it another shot.



that is pretty much what every single thing i have ever said here is about (if you didn't read my past comments)
i'm not joking or exaggerating either.. i have preached this point you just said non stop !
i couldn't agree more and i look forward to your ideas panning out and wish ya success with your projects Smiley

you can tell by peoples little comments sprinkled around the scene that 90% care about Lambo's profits.. that's it !
and it sickens me.
crap posted like what is the most profitable coin to mine..
and more disturbing is people posting about how to pump up or their coins or pump this or pump that..
all the chatter is about trying to spike the price to profit short term.. regardless of consequences to the entire scene long term future.
NOT about attracting real world users etc..

priority no. 1 should be usage.. then investment i think.
losers posting "HOW DO I MAKE MY SHIT COIN POPULAR" ....(so i can get rich)
is sick.. these are cancerous losers that must go..

and yeah this is not the place.. i am going off in left field pretty hard here LOL
all i can say is i support Digital Currencies NOT Digital Pyramid Scheme investment stocks or what ever..

i just noticed over time that the generosity has evaporated and vanished.. from my perspective.
and the various symptoms of greed have gotten out of control and utterly ridiculous Sad

Well if your going to have a nearsighted view and can't see past the surface, that is all you would see.  If I was to look at your account and judge you, I'd say you were an evil scammer and nothing you say has any merit.  I however don't do that.  I'd take the time to learn more about your history on the forum and then make a conscious decision, not just some knee jerk judgement.

I'm not saying the community is perfect and pure.  What I'm saying is there is more good to the community then bad.  People that aren't out to scam and are generally discrete shouldn't ignored because the greedy obnoxious work in the open and have no shame.  Your point of view is literally, lets throw the baby out with the bath water.

I'm not sure it's fair to claim the community is greedy.  There are just to many scammers around trying to trick people out of their coins.  It's hard to be generous if your aware of this problem and if you want to avoid sending money to them.  You can't tell who is who with all the shady newb accounts.
Also if giveaway topics aren't allowed here as you said, then that has likely added to the decline of generosity. 

I was asked to be an escrow recently but I declined because I didn't know the person asking and I worried my account could get untrust if something went wrong.  Does that mean I don't want to help?  No, I was just concerened the negatives could outweigh the positives and I decided against it.

I've wanted to have little giveaways to give back to newbies and for the generosity I've received on this forum but I spend most of the time trying to figure out how to avoid a scammer/troll from getting the coins and making it fair..

Yes the whole ecosystem of crypto has become toxic and will stay that way.

Firstly and people that know me, know that I have in the past been more than generous giving out cryptos and bagfulls of them for free.

Yes I have been given donations but those are few and far between for the 500+ unpaid hours of behind the scenes work done for people to protect others assets not my own. Add to this the fact that I offered to do work for free, was given a donation, the work was cancelled, I was told to keep what I felt worthy ( a whole 5 LTC) so I kept the lot and then end up with a scammer tag due to keeping a LTC donation I was told I could keep as much of it as I want. Yes long sentence but where is the whole system headed where this is seen as sane, logical, unbiased and righteous?

Due to the fact there is a scrupulous amount of insider trading, development, ponzi schemes, death threats, personal injury threats, ddos, dox threats and the communities heightened awareness and embracing of anonymous transactions, the fate of cryptos has been sealed.

So all those that want to whinge and whine, generally are those who are responsible for this outcome.

And for those that promote this OS bullshit..... Embarrassed

Those who know me know I believe in the power of voice, unfortunately the power of unregulated monetary systems will continuously override good.

Currently, everyday almost, HYPERSTAKE devs and members are giving coins on the Poloniex trollbox...

Big shouts out to Presstab, for exemple, my current HYPERSTAKE wallet is almost 1000HYP just by 90% from his donations.

I'll tell you more. Decentralized exchanges will never get any legal status, because they cannot be controlled. That's how they are designed, it's a wild west. If you want to be babysitted, stay on licensed centralized exchanges - stock, forex, commodity exchanges. Crypto currencies will never be adopted as legal tender in any country, because they are powerful competitors of the fiat money and centralized exchanges. If you are in crypto currencies, you must realize all this and not expect to be babysitted by governments. There is no investor protection in crypto currencies and will never be. Did I say it's a wild west? These are the reasons why general public will never adopt crypto currencies, because only few people don't like to be babysitted and protected, others will trade their freedom for protection, and will get neither in the end. Run before it's too late, crypto currencies are a wild west capitalism, and they are not for pussies.

It's just one more aspect of crypto that disgusts me sadly.. sooo much fucking greed  Cry

I keep pointing out that The Rules of the Game as Written in Stone by BTCTalk...
Have been written by scammers and benefit ONLY scammers.

Until an elite Dev who puts in 500 hours and $50,000 or whatever...
Can own a piece of his work, say 10% minimum no questions asked...
*** And can close source key intellectual property ***...

All you will ever see hear is the entire range of scammers...
From cut and paste no-english retards... to the elite 4th Gen thieves like Jeb McCaleb...
Who right now is planning to sell another 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 zygotes or kabachniks to retards.

Oh, in the Real World these people are in and out of trouble/jail...
And operating in the Pink Sheets and Venture Exchanges when on the street.

There are now 250 Assets on the NXT AE...
Virtually none of these assets have any Real World legal status...
And I have yet to see any Financial Statements prepared by an actual Accounting Firm...
Probably because they would lose their license.

Precisely nothing is preventing these mostly anon Asset Slingers from being "hacked"...
Since they are "regulated" by the Central Authority called mods on the NXT Forum.

SO i have used some crypto donation address's on some sites and never gotten a single donation from anyone once EVER !

got me thinking more and more..

The thing is it's really easy to get some coins going vs using a credit card on the internet etc
And going back to a year ago there was a spirit of sharing that is long gone now.

And i don't think we can blame this place for banning giveaway topics either.
When was the last time you seen a guy be really generous and give away a ton of coins on an exchange Troll Box etc ?
It used to be super common to see that and i myself had given away many cons too !

It's just one more aspect of crypto that disgusts me sadly.. sooo much fucking greed  Cry

Sadly i bet most people around here have no idea what the generous spirit of sharing was like a year ago all over the scene was like.
The new "Doge Scheme" coin guys came and destroyed our Altcoin scene BAD !!!
..they took a giant fat greedy shit all over it before many cashed out and ran for it.. Lambo'z moon chikun rise etc etc.. quietly skulk away..
