To be exact:
1. Clif's friend predicts VERI is going to $5000 next year.
2. Clif himself predicts that VERI is going to be on par with BTC this time next year (May/June). He predicts that BTC might get to $18,008 by that time... which means VERI will be at more or less the same price.
Will we get there? Hell yeah!

I've been dealing with a person who claims Veritaseum had no wallet or code since Ultra Coin ..Claims no product since 2014 and it's all a scam. I present exhibit A, 2014 video of Ultra Coin client, and Developer.

Who exactly is the person who are making these claims?
Just a person on Youtube.. He hangs out on most Veritaseum videos comments section. He got me thinking about my due diligence, so I researched his claims and decided to post what I came up with. In case anyone ran across the same thing.
I also spoke with someone from the Ultra Coin days about his claims and he gave Reggie and Veritaseum his legit stamp of approval.
Why are you protecting the identity of this person? Provided this person exists, it sounds to me like someone who is out to spread FUD. Did this person present any proof to back up the claims? I, and I am sure others here, would love to see proof to back up these wild claims. For starters, how exactly is it a scam?
In addition, it is important to differentiate between Reggie's Ultra-Coin, a former product now rolled into Veritas (if I am correct), and UltraCoin (UTC) - these two are not the same. Read Reggie's response here to understand the differences between the two:
