yet I'm here trusting in Chris and LTCGear. I don't see it as a scam. I don't see Chris at the hype-spinner that Josh obviously is. Chris has never taken a shot (that I've seen) at another mining company like Josh has... it just all seems genuine. He's a complete idiot when it comes to communication and running a company and web site. But that doesn't mean he isn't for real and has a genuine miner that is profitable. Here's to hoping Monday gives light to the truth.
Let's say you are right with your thoughts. I think Chris himself should have realized at any point what you said. Why not simply hiring 1 or 2 people only for doing communication and better support? I wrote several mails before the trouble started, wanted him to explain 2 questions before investing a bigger amount of money. And of course, no reply at all. Is it only as he already made a ton of money and doesn't care if more people buy his stuff as his fans will continue to make him enough money?
Would you, next to holy chris, trust and invest a lot of money to someone else who is "an idiot in running a company" just because you made some profit in the past? Isn't knowledge in running a company a requirement for being successful long-term? Many companies failed long-term although they had a great start but lacked some skills to confirm the early success and made wrong decisions.
This is no FUD, just some questions to think about.
Your point is certainly valid. Hindsight is 20-20. I do think Chris has a solid product though. Would I invest if I was coming across them NOW though having never invested before? Certainly not. Hopefully we get back to steady payouts with the new deposit system though and all of these speculations and anxiety for the last 2-3 weeks will be a moot point. The point is I *DID* invest... so I really can only hope. I have no other choice.
