None of the Whales or Founders get paid. They contribute their service for free. Having your input into the platform heard and used benefits the Ionomy products..
Lay off the bottle a bit. Please quote where I insinuated that you got paid as a whale. I dare you. If they paid you to be a whale, they're worse off than what I thought.
What I was saying is that being a whale or Founder isn't free. You must possess a healthy amount of atoms which cost real world money.
You are soooooooooooo far off from correctly addressing any point made in this thread. I know you think it's funny as you think you're trolling. But the fact in the matter is that you look foolish, and since you're a whale, make ION and Ionomy look foolish. And they can look foolish enough on their own, they don't need more help from you.
It occurs to me now that actually all 'atom' holders do essentially get paid in a rather convoluted manner by the production of 'electrons' and the increase in stake rate that using them to 'electrify' a staker gives them. At the very least, in my opinion, sharky's assertion that they definitively don't get paid is being economical with the truth.
