Re: [ANN] [VIA] ★ Viacoin ★ ~ the future of digital currency ~ ★
spartak, Razlog is a gem! I would like to visit your old homestead on the hill. How is the local wine? 
Wine is good enough, but not the best. Bulgaria have very good wine in general, but not in my area. People are mostly producing it for themselves. But there is a very good rakia though (russians have vodka, irish and scotish people have whisky... we have rakia).
I am not here to speak for Barabbas, but I know him from other threads and he is 99.9% spot on with his remarks and observations about coins, project leaders, supporters, operations, ideas, projects, etc (the 0.1% of his incorrect posts when he says not flattering things about me or my ideas) and it seems to me he is always having constructive criticisms, but because his rather direct style and some times animated expressions his comments are often taken out of context. I think that's what happened here as well that you have taken that "stupid child" remark seriously instead of focusing on the solution. (Not that any solutions exists in this hopeless altcoin market.)
As for who is right and wrong, I think you are wrong if you think VIA can succeed on this over scammed and declining altcoin market - in my opinion Viacoin had simply lost the momentum and the opportunity to make something useful with the smart contract concept. Since this tech is not used for any meaningful purposes nor will be ever used, there is no chance in my opinion.
Anyway, I congratulate you on your professional and business achievements, not that you have achieved a lot, but the most important if you feel good about yourself and you are happy with your progress, that's all matter and if I would be you I wouldn't be worry too much what other users says about you.
EDIT:
I think that hammer is the most useful tool in precision repairing :-))))

Barabbas has good observations indeed and as I already said - I mentioned them to Drak several times. I would say that I like his visions, but I don't like his approach. If I for example spot some problem in something which is good in general, I am trying to point it quietly. Why do you think I wanted to stop conversations about price and such? Why I did said number of times that this is not the way to protect your invesment? The answer is pretty simple. No matter how good are suggestions about development or remarks about the price, they become destructive at some point while repeating them. Why? Because many people lose their confidence. Not all people have balls to go through hard times, or money to pay their bills while they are losing. That is why you said that this is hopeless market. Why do you think I am so avid supporter of FAIL? Why do you think I'm wasting time and money on that cryptocurrency? Because I don't like how cryptocurrencies look at the moment. Because I want people to unite and support what matters, not what can earn them 0.1 BTC for 5 minutes.
I fully understand the logic behind your arguments, not to mention I heard hundreds of times here in BCT what an irrational attitude from an investor to post a criticism (FUD as you said) and such criticism is very much against the interest of investors. The issue with such logic is that it ignores the big picture, i.e. that the fundamental issues of a coin is not caused by the critical voices but - almost exclusively - by the developers and your arguments blame the messenger for the not very good news. To contradict what you say, not the criticisms (FUD as you said) create the hopeless market - the market is hopeless because the 600+ useless coins represent no value whatsoever.
Despite some innovation exists in VIA the coin is absolutely useless as there are no real life use cases for the coin, consequently the coin is used by no one, and just like the +600 useless coin there is no market for this thing.
This is unfortunate indeed, but we have to accept this.
