Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 713. (Read 3314330 times)

I find this whole fake news stunt from FP extremely irresponsible, immature and downright disrespectful.

At least this line...
"We are Monero, You can hate me, you can ignore the project, but you cannot stop us."

Is so cheesy it's laughable. 

would you mind just telling me in a nutshell what is monero and why its of value?

Professionalism is a very poor choice to determine legitimacy of one's character or a project.

Scammers can be professional so that messes up that metric.

People need to remember that Monero is not a business nor is it a company nor does it have a CEO.

Professionalism has very little to do with open source projects.

People need to take responsibility for their own financial choices.

To the MOOOON

Pony Power.

Actually now that you mention it; I am the new Official Spokesman for Monero. In order for me to give people the latest most exciting news you must pay me 1 XMR per vowel.

was this thread supposed to have some affect on the price?

24 hours later no effect.

Looks like Fluffy has crashed the entire cryptocurrency market Bitcoin included.

I think we all know the market has been in a bubble and something had to pop it. Maybe it's better sooner than later. Less total pain.

In the long term this won't make any difference. If cryptocurrencies makes sense, and none of us doubt that, the market will inevitably recover, and Monero is undoubtedly the most well thought out of them all. Though I am concerned that it will carry for a long time the stigma of having started the whole rout.

So far this is the most interesting discussion on these events where some devs take a critical standpoint to his actions:

Huh?

Did you read that in a book somewhere?

Fluffy has really outed a lot of scammy people, by suggesting that FP "scammed" them they are only letting us know subconsciously what they would do if in the same position

Why you would want to characterize Howard Chu like this, I have no idea. As far as I'm aware, his contributions to Monero have been immense. What have you done for Monero except cozy up to FP at every possible opportunity?

I think this is more fitting!

Please stop trying to make him out to be some kind of a martyr, or a savior of anything!

This is starting to sound more and more like a cult, and you've been convinced that the only thing that will save your mortal soul is to drink this koolaid! Or maybe we should use the "Burn the Witch" analogy?  Again, with the idea that somehow burning someone alive is good for them! Because Satoshi or FluffyPony or someone else knows what's best for all of us because the rest of us are all too stupid to know our own minds. And you keep preaching the mantra that basically the "followers of Monero must be cleansed and those found not worthy shunned for the good of the chosen few"!

I've seen more crap in this forum from people that I thought had a head on their shoulders, than I ever expected.  I've been told because I do a very small amount of day or swing trading where 95% of the time I'm adding liquidity to the market, that somehow I am stealing from others, or somehow manipulating the market... that's crazy!

It appears to me that those of you who hold the most Monero don't want it to be distributed to a larger group. Isn't a "fair distribution" a key element of a NON-Scam coin? And more importantly, if we don't get significant participation from a larger group then this just becomes one big circle jerk!

I understand that now the initial furor has died down a bit, all the good soldiers are going to circle the wagons and protect their "gallant leader" but, don't try to make it sound like he did this for my or anyone else's benefit other than his own!

Hope thats a 2004 Barolo. 

XMR devs aren't required to take vows of silence and live out ascetic existences in monastic conditions.

Fluffy is allowed to have a life, express himself freely, and do what he wants.  Here on Monero Mountain we mustangs and ponies like to have fun (and DRINK).

Your sense of entitlement to control his social media interaction is exactly why he needed to teach you a lesson in “how the cow ate the cabbage.”   




Fluffy, if you see this, Happy National Wine Day! 

Sure, and the news that in Timbuktu someone fell of his bike now influences the recent BTC retrace...

Guys, you are screening nonsense 

Fluffy came out of this a hero to everyone who matters.  The useless salty and butthurt freeloaders have self-identified and fucked off to Dash or OneCoin.

This one is better.

It is all fun and games until you step over the line. Here is some evidence of a possible conspiracy to manipulate Monero price.
