FLUFFY told everyone so many times "NOT TO BUY MONERO" if you trusted him so much why didn't you guys listen then!!
He's also said on many occasions that Monero is not about him, yet consistently goes out of his way to make it all about him.
I don't think anyone trusts him much anymore, and that's part of the point.
The other part of the point, is that regardless of FP, Monero does its thing. Yeah, he fucked the price for a while. Monero still works great though. While I did suspect him of trolling, I still bought some around ~0.021. They will be under water for a few hours/days/months, but after 3 years in Monero, I'm pretty used to it
AND I am responsible for my own trading decisions.
