Kimberly,
Thank you for the orientation!
Your post was refreshingly organized and rational and thus comforting in all this chaos. I was feeling good...
But then your link at the bottom, pointing to some dude with the email address "
neucoinisascam@gmail.com", was as wacko as any pumper or troll in here.
I think it would be awesome if people here could get past the "it's a SCAM!" and "it's the greatest!" shouting. it so obviously isn't either one.
This dude
was a big believer in Neucoin and that is the point.
He invested
40 BTC during presale and was very supportive in the beginning. He followed closely everything that was happening and concluded that he has been "ripped off". You can read his post history on their forum to see why there was such a drastic change in opinion. Maybe you will agree with his points, maybe you won't. At least you'll know the rationale behind someone who has been on both sides of the fence.
I believe he created this email so that other disillusioned investors [and there's quite a few at their forum] could contact him and discuss how to proceed next. I don't see any trolling or wackiness from his part, but rather a genuine concern for his hard earned money.
I don't think any of us is implying this is a simple 'grab-n-run' scam, there are however serious red flags that any potential investor should seriously look into. On a micro level, it is someone's money that is at stake. On a macro level, it is another possible blemish for the cryptocurrency ecosystem
Once again, think about what people are saying and decide for yourself if it makes sense or not.
