All of the Iota I have sold has gone to furthering Iota adoption, if you had any idea who I've sold to, but of course you just assume that everyone is a troll and you don't owe anyone anything. You said we would have more info on the Big Deal, you pressed the community with urgency and FOMO, and then we hear nothing. You need to communicate more effectively. I know your not about hype, you're worse, you're all about doom. "If we don't reach Big Deal goals, this project is over, it's finished, community has failed" and then when we reach the Foundation goal, or Big Deal goal, we never hear "Great work community, here is what we are doing" We just hear nothing.
Prove it. Prove that you have actually sold to anyone 'strategic'. Pressured the community? We spoke the simple truth: either the community makes some strategic decisions or it has to accept the consequences of not doing it. Do you honestly believe that we are some kind of wizards that can just make things happen out of nowhere? People like you make tons of money of other people's work day in and day out while at the same time whining about stuff you have absolutely no insight into because all you pay attention to is your wallet. I am not here to hold your hand and make you rich, I'm here to change the face of IoT and Distributed Ledger technology, that is what this project is all about, not your feelings. I never ever ever said 'If we don't reach Big Deal the project is finished', I said that the door to China would be closing. You must have zero experience in the real business world if you honestly think that one can just magic things into existence, the irony here is that you yourself claim that you haven't sold for profit, but for strategic reasons, yet you don't understand the strategic reasoning behind 'Big Deal'.
Until you prove that you have contributed ANYTHING to this project in the last months I will ignore you.
Sure, do you want me to post their names and contact info here? Why don't you post the Big Deal details here? Oh yeah, no hype. I run a profitable SV tech company with $10mil annual revenue and 20 employees, I built from nothing, not even 1 dime of funding, I know far more than you do about everything tech and business related, even crypto. I remember you fumbling around Nxt as Uniquorn, I've been in BTC since 2010. Do you even have education? Where have you worked prior to Iota? Since you seem to assume a lot about me from my postings I would like to know more about you. You need to keep calm when people ask you tough questions David, people donated equivalent of 650BTC to Big Deal, they deserve answers without insults and bullshit. If you are going to bring Iota into the real world, you'll need to be prepared for much worse. Stop acting like the Iota community is indebted to you, they took a risk and invested in your project, you should be grateful/humble for that.
