@suchmoon, we have all made bad judgement calls in our day, and be believing up to point that Josh and GAW were legit, was my error.
Truthfully I was in belief that they were 100% legit as their first few months of doing business or so seemed to be on the up and up for the most part, and they came through with a lot of their items regarding miners, hosting, make up time for downed miners, etc....
I had no evidence or reason to think or prove otherwise, and was told like everyone else to just "Hold" when they moved the paycoin thing, as we all believed in JG at the time, and he was very good at making people think things were coming SOON.
I'd like to say I'm sorry for saying things in the "attack" quotes you found and posted, and was simply functioning in defense mode for something I thought could actually make a difference here and felt strongly about it. A lesson learned in posting from feelings and beliefs, but at that time that's simply what it was.
Unfortunately like so many other came to find out, I was wrong.
So to be clear, I was wrong in my thinking that Josh and GAW would "change the industry" and do these amazing things.
I apologize to the people I had argued with on this matter, and I have learned a hard lesson here.
If you want to ask me any other questions, please do i'll do my best to answer what I can.
I removed that BTCLend signature as well, as it offended you I guess? I was under the impression that they were a loaning site and not XPY specific, and had BTC and other coins as well.
Thanks,
buck
It's really hard to offend me and you haven't even come close, nor has anyone on the intertubes for that matter.
But I'm not buying this act. There is a huge difference between supporting something/somebody (mistakenly or not) and denigrating anybody who dares to question the thing/person/entity that you're supporting. The only group of posters who did something close to what you were doing were GAW's paid shills (EvilPanda et al). Were you paid too? If not then I guess I'm sorry you were so deluded as to do it for free.
Anyway, back to recent events - nobody forced you to come on Bitcointalk and AGAIN start attacking people for their opinions on btc.com. So yeah, tough shit, you got called out on it, deal with it.
That's ok everyone is entitled to their opinion.
My intent was never to denigrate anyone, but when being attacked for having and stating my opinion, I will respond with the same tone to which I am addressed.
I was never employed by GAW. I wish I was paid for the effort I attempted to put into trying to defend someone and something I once believed in, but in the end turned out to be something much worse.
If this was a civil discussion which it never was here, then any responses would have been polite and informative.
But from what most everyone says about this topic outside of Bitcointalk regarding the people who post nasty pictures and degrading disgusting graphical remarks towards whomever, they say "don't even bother going there, because you are dealing with irrational people some of which are most likely children with no verbal filter".
After coming here by request from frankenmint to answer some valid questions which was total unrelated to my reaching out to him and the administrators of this site about a separate question all together, I agreed simply because if there were any concerns, I wanted to address them. I could have easily said no, and had whomever believe that I am the "shill" some of the users in this endless thread call me.
So what am I to think? I have been on Bitcointalk long before anything GAW was ever here, and was a member who posted , was friendly, did business with people and so on, and when now I come to try and respond willingly from someone with concerns, and answer truthfully I get responses like the following from you and Paul revere:
"So yeah, tough shit, you got called out on it, deal with it."
"@ Buck : Sorry, I don't care about what a worthless douchebag scam shill like you thinks, but thanks for asking."
Maybe its just better not to engage with irrational people as they say.
I did my best by answering any question thrown my way, only to have the same tone and response as if I was doing something wrong now...its pretty silly that this goes on here or is even allowed to be unmoderated in such a manner. A lot of you should be ashamed for being childish and irrational individuals.
I guess you cant argue with a brick wall.
Long live "whatever"
