I admit, I did buy a bit based on Risto's predictions way back in his days of first promoting xmr summer of 2014.... I don't blame him or anything, but yeah, he has been promoting XMR since day 1 I believe, no? i know a lot of people on the speculation thread seem to blame him for losses, but that could just be shit I'm not reading right as well?...
I am positive he did not had any Monero on day.2. If you check his Wall observer and old Monero speculation thread you might find out when he noticed Monero. Well he might noticed it a bit before and buy in before started advertising it. But for sure not day.1. I think on day.1 only miners and more technically educated people understand what Monero is and brings on crypto table.
I see him mention Monero on 25th May seems fro the first time. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6923973 That is a month and half after start lol and a day before I registered on this forum. I did thought in past i saw his posts about Monero after I bought them in beginning of June, but it seems i was wrong.
