I think this is a good advanced project but when doing research I found a lot of reports how QTUM founder stole money from BitBay. There is article on reddit, medium, bitcointalk. Not only this but a lot of bad practices behind this guy's (pump and dump,fake ICO, and so on). I think all this is holding this coin price so low. People learned their lesson and won't invest in projects which leaders have shady past. There are chat logs on medium from this guys when they prepare to pump a coin with thousands bitcoins. Look to this link

I'm all on-board the Qtum project, but that logic is the definition of ignorant. If Bernie Madoff opens a new investment firm, I don't think you'd be so eager to invest. The same principles apply here, if you actually believe what is being said (which I, of course, don't).
Exactly. This has been hanging over the project for along time now. Articles like the one above will only continue to pop up as people learn more and more about qtum. All these bloggers will happen on this story and report on it in hopes that a juicy story will get them more steem dollars, or youtube views. That's why I feel the matter should be settled sometime in the near future to help the project proceed forward. If there is so much misinformation and fud out there, then whatever truth will be overtaken at some point.
