I've seen him call out scam coins before most people, and he has done his fair share of research to expose them. While he can be a bit reckless in what he says sometimes and will post evidence that hasn't been completely confirmed, he if right more often than he is wrong. Ignore him at your own peril.

I think he is one of the forum's most important contributors.

But then, "important" is a far different word than "popular" and sometimes it is hard to be both.

Personally, I think it is usually a good sign if someone is equally hated and loved.

Also, people should realize that while Spoetnik has called out scams successfully, even his opinion is just an opinion. Do your own research before deciding if you agree with him or not. That said, he is a great "first warning" system.

PS Sorry Spoetnik, for talking about you as if you aren't here. Much love and all that.
