Re: Do you think you were scammed by GAW? Tell Ars Technica

Tell me ONE product, or ONE currency that does that - if they did, it would lead to bankruptcy in pretty much no time. When you buy something, you expect it to lose value over time - it can be a day, or a week, a month, a year, a decade. But it WILL lose value, even if it is digital (e.g. a videogame). And nobody will cover the loss of value for you.

So now you have me confused, because you said this: "It is quite interesting that you say people were misled and lost money - I'm yet to meet one who truly owned a Hashlet and lost money on it (except if re-sold it after a week, at third the price, to get rid of it fast)." Are you saying that GAW did or did not mislead its customers? Could the Hashlet be sold as "always profitable" or not?

Well, that way we can say you lost money buying your computer you're typing from - you bought it for x USD say, a year ago, and now its worth only half of it, if you were to sell it.  Also let me guess, you bought your hashlets, then when the price suddenly dropped, you panicked and sold most of them for a low price, to save yourself from further losses, amirite?  Basically you screwed up on trading stocks (the base is pretty much the same, so...)

Any way, we will see the legitimacy of GAW on the long run - given how much spotlight they got, people who've invested in GAW will get their money back any way (if they are not legit, there will be a huge lawsuit, all who've lost, been lied to, etc., will be able to reclaim their losses; and if they are legit, the system will pay out).

You're making assumptions again, without even reading my post properly. I bought a Zen at $11, I did not panic sell it, now it's worth $2 if that, and making a satoshi per day.

I bought a Prime at $17, it never made the $17 back, I did not panic sell it, converted to the worthless hashstaker.

Which of these actions is not following GAW's grand plan? And what does it have to do with stocks? A big part of accusations against GAW is about selling unregistered securities and they have always insisted their hashlets are mining. Which is it?

And check on their latest stunts - releasing an untested feature to Paybase, messing up trading, reversing XPY purchases. CEO bailing from the Miami conference. Lawsuits won't help if there is no money.
