He owes them $100 million.

That is not pretend money. He intentionally set fire to other peoples money in the name of his ideals.

Sorry, I can't agree. People have to take responsibility for their own trading. You get it wrong, you lose.

If you want safety rails, and an 'everybody wins' mentality, crypto (at least crypto trading) is not for you.

If you didn't try to profit by day trading the announcement (and if you were doing that you realize you were trying fuck someone else out of money right?), then it affected you hardly at all. The price is up significantly from two days ago. Long term holders have nothing to complain about.

Sorry. I'm with cAPSLOCK on this one. I didn't buy when I heard the rumour... but I sure as hell sold when I heard the news. And not just a little. i sold the entire stash that wasn't out on loan... and when the loans are up, they XMR I had there is going too.

As a 'spokesman, for the project, his words carry weight. He has a duty of care and he deliberately trashed a lot of goodwill with a lot of people. This just shows a level of immaturity that he either doesn't understand or at worst, deliberately played on to profit from.

I am very glad the crypto market is self regulating and allows smaller players to play with small amounts of money. I also hope that this stupid prank doesn't give ammunition to TPTB to find an excuse to close our unregulated playground and make the requirements too onerous for exchanges to continue as they are.
