atoms (previous xbits) were a way to participate in funding the new platform that ionomy has become.  Most of the people who bought them knew that, and trusted Adams team to make something great, they have.  More work is needed but that will come.  The benefits that extended from that are a plus. Smiley  Have a nice night, and keep on trolling ya trolls, we will still be here years from now Wink

That sounds IONIC enough as a reply, thanks [retracted]!
I'm glad your talking about xbits and the xpy to ion - participation?

From the 'just to be clear' link to try to separate your stink - https://news.ionomy.com/just-to-be-clear/
"Is ION the same thing as XPY? No. ION is a coin that is wholly independent from Paycoin. Paycoin still exists as its own coin and blockchain. ION was not a coin swap, hard fork, or rebrand in any way, shape, or form."

Yet...

Besides exchanging xpy for ion, they also exchanged xpybits for atoms.
Sure you guys want to claim no connection again?

Yep 100% no connection
This was the ION team giving customers an opportunity to follow or exit. BTW. For those that owned XBits they could have left sold them for BTC making a small profit.... most didn't  Grin

Participation in funding the Ionomy platform sounds like it exchanging or swapping XPYs and IONs.
It would probably be good to clear what verbs and adjectives were performed inside the participation.
Wouldn't want to misunderstand the great work performed.  Roll Eyes

Also, what LLC sold the coins or was it just Adam on the exchange?  




You have absolutely stated nothing of content here, playing with words doesn't make an argument. Xbits had nothing to do with XPY, it was a trust in the platform and the leadership of Adam and the team.  We traded(I hope you can understand the difference) xpy for ion.  The bits had nothing to do with a particular coin.

I completely understand why you're doing it, but I do feel you're re-writing history somewhat here. For starters, they weren't even called 'Xbits', they were called 'XPYBiTs'. Secondly, while it's true that 'XPYBiTs' were sold as a way to fund XPY.io, they were sold at least in part on the basis that XPY.io would further XPY's adoption through the addition of 'features' on their platform. I think it's dishonest to say that people didn't buy them because of XPY; without XPY there would have been no XPY.io and no XPY.io users.

Here's an archive link to some contemporaneous information about XPYBiTs: http://archive.is/rqf7t

I also think it's somewhat stretching the truth to imply that most people who brought XPYBiTs were aware that they were investing in something that would eventually break away from XPY completely, but I suppose it's possible that that was the plan all along, even if it seems somewhat like a dishonest sales tactic.
