I think Reggie is too overconfident to the point of ignoring all the limitations that continue to haunt the company, and may potentially cripple the company too if left continuously unattended.

Many followers here are so idiotic their comments are simply dumb. Their arguments are simply:
1. No whitepaper is necessary.
2. No website is necessary.
3. No FAQ is necessary.
4. No transparency of team is necessary.

All the above (and probably more) are unnecessary because Reggie says so.

You guys are banking entirely on Reggie's competency in closing deals.
Otherwise, everything would screw up.

It is good to be a contrarian. I love being a contrarian. It's the kind of Alpha attitude that I also personally have.
But let's be honest. Being a contrarian unnecessarily simply because you are incapable of doing what is necessary at your best is fatal.

With all due respect, NONE of those things are going to be necessary once some of these deals are closed and platforms are launched. Nice to have & beneficial? Yes. Absolutely necessary? Not really. We all know that a few press releases will do more than a whitepaper and website ever will.

Not that anyone will find any solace in this observation, but as Reggie said he lives fairly humbly. While you'd love him to spend a bunch of money on websites and communication and maybe even PR staff, it's kind of nice that he's being frugal and saving money in these departments. You can argue that spending money in those areas would or could be a net gain, but that is speculative and debatable and you can't blame Reggie if he disagrees in this regard.

I think Reggie is stuck in that position that a lot of business people get stuck in. You've given the presentations, you've done negotiations, now it's time to ink the agreement and make it official and it ALWAYS takes longer than you want and than you anticipate. The things Reggie is proposing for the JSE are not trivial to implement, and generally involve a lot of parties that all have to come together to agree on nitty gritty details. Changing or augmenting these existing systems is vastly more complex than tokenizing a piece of real estate. Reggie wouldn't be continuing to make trips to Jamaica if it wasn't still progressing.

Once a few of these projects are announced and finished, no one will care if there is a whitepaper, website, FAQ, etc. Reggie provided numbers of his team members, I'm not sure why we need pictures and names of people we won't know or recognize to feel good about who he's hired. As Clif High aptly pointed out, you don't need to have a big staff to have a big operation.

The thing is, we all invested in VERI with the current website, with no whitepaper, knowing there was a small staff and no mature product/platform. Reggie never promised a new website or whitepaper or said he'd hire a huge staff. I'm really not sure why you guys have these expectations. Aside from being over-optimistic on some timelines, I don't know where Reggie has made any misrepresentations or mislead anyone to believe that there would or should be more, no matter how beneficial it may be. He's got his own way of doing things. Either accept it and HODL VERI or dump it... (not to anyone specifically, to everyone in general).

BTW, if it was my company I'm not sure I'd address or acknowledge the FUD. Sometimes that makes thing worse and there's usually little benefit.
