He can't ever admit he makes mistakes. Currently in his view the entire community is wrong on every account and he is perfect.
Bizarrely, the developer and his wife also believe this.
Spot the elephant in the room.
I resigned from the Board as this seemed like it would never change.
It is quite an interesting psychological case study. Particularly when the success of the project would mean a lot of money for him, how the ego takes over.
I was thinking this same thing. What an amazing case study on psychology vs behavioral economics. It is an interesting prisoner's dilemma that node owners find themselves in now. Here is what I ask myself... if I were evaluating XBY today as a potential investment, would I invest? Answer - resounding no. So how could I ethically encourage others to invest in something I myself wouldn't invest in today, even though I hold many XBY? Do I value my own profits, and encourage a pump so I can sell my bags to others who will then have to put their faith in an egomaniac? I am not willing to do such a thing. Therefore, I will sell off at the appropriate time.
The issue is that CCR thinks this is all about trolls of 'his' project. He has shown his true colors and he isn't ready for prime time in the crypto world. So from now on, when I'm in other crypto slack channels I won't talk about XBY because it isn't worth the effort, but if anyone asks my opinion on putting any hard earned money into XBY they will receive my unvarnished opinion... as long as CCR has any leadership role, the project is toxic - which is unfortunate because there are so many decent people in there wanting to achieve success despite the dictatorial psychopath. I wish the best for the XBY community, sorry you have to put up with this guy just for a chance of some new tech.
