Unlike you guys, I wouldnt consider what John did as ripping people off...  He screwed people over for sure, but I think he just got tired of getting very little reward for his work, and finally just sold what he had and moved on...

It was bound to happen, and luckilly I got out before it did, but look at it this way.  The day of the altcoin is over,  there is very little new money moving into this space and everyone will fight over the last of the scraps as people realize that there will be no bitcoin killer,  true there will be new projects that work with  bitcoin and world currencies to allow remmitances in a fast and easy way, but there will not be another crypto currency that will challenge bitcoin for this use.  If it was going to succeed we would have seen much more money enterring the space as all these micro chains arose.

sorry guys no one cares about new solutions to the bitcoin problem without those solutions being inside the bitcoin environment.  I bet people couldnt cash out more than 100 million dollars from the entire alt space without completely drying it up and killing it forever.

peace out

I am out of altcoins and will be looking at how blockchain tech can be used in the realworld from now on, my libertarian dreams are gone, as the only thing to see here is pennystock gambling, not real world fixes.
