Also, don't forget the bitcoin.com puff piece on Zcash that straight-up lied about not being affiliated with the project (Ver owns bitcoin.com!). Sorry, but he's run out of chances.
I vaguely remember this...do you have a link?
Seems shady that he would put up a statement in a piece about cash on his own website.
Then again this is the same guy who told people the mtgox was A-OK in 2013 just before it went bust.
It lists Zcash's investors but conveniently leaves Ver's name out. Then at the bottom of the article is a disclaimer that reads:
"Disclaimer: Bitcoin.com is not affiliated with any of the above-mentioned businesses."
It's even a little bit worse than that. The original Wired article they quoted included Ver's name but they
took it out of the quote.
bitcoin.com:
The publication Wired details that investors such as Naval Ravikant and the Digital Currency Group’s Barry Silbert have invested over $700,000 USD into the startup.
Wired:
Those investors include Naval Ravikant, an investor in Twitter and Uber, Barry Silbert, the founder of startup equity-trading platform SecondMarket, and Roger Ver, a staunch libertarian who’s invested in bitcoin startups Blockchain.info and Bitpay, and who also bankrolled much of the legal defense of now-convicted Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht
Thanks Johnny/Smooth I think I fucking hate this
Libertarian Capitalist scumbag.
BTW, has anyone called him out on twaater about this?
That's great! Shorters catching it in the butt finally!
Yea. The lending rates on polo are extremely high compared to normal levels. Personally I think its dangerous to short at this point too many people are already shorting and they will have to eventually close on their positions. On top of that the manipulator that pumped yesterday may come back to squeeze out these shorts (That's what i would do if was trying to pump this anyway). And as a side note i really don't understand all the bashing on the trollbox on polo. As soon as this went up the mood was that everyone should short Monero because its a manipulative pump, however Eth has been blatantly been pumped by whales now for weeks and everyone was all hyped up for that pump, i don't get it.
My guess is those yelling short are in the pump group squeezing. It's more than likely ETH profit doing it IMO. Such a shame, I admit I'm jelly I didn't grab some scam eth just to have m0ar xmr now.
