And giving you money now is simply not reasonable
What are you talking about? Nobody here wants your money and nobody here will ever accept any money from you! I think that you have a huge misunderstanding. Just because you buy some XEL from someone on the internet, that does not mean that you gave money to anyone working on XEL.
Let's say Tyler Durden sells his 1000 XEL on Bittrex and you buy them for 1 BTC. Then Tyler has received one BTC and you have received his 1000 XEL. Only you and Tyler are involved in this transaction. This does not make you an "investor", neither did you give any BTC to anyone who works on this project.
Why is it so hard to understand??
Understand, they control the course of Xel through their twitter. They are guilty in this situation 100%. This is called market manipulation. Because of such cases, the US government and many others recognize the ICO as valuable securities and for such comments the person then has responsibility before the law. This game is has a rules, and if they are not respected then they by law can punish !!! There are posts and results of the schedule on the stock exchange. I agree that they could not do it on purpose, the probability of this is 50%. But they did it as badly as possible. I want everyone else to think about and not make such mistakes. And that would tweet Xel before us apologized.
There are cases when they sued for what bitcoin was called a bubble. - this is called market manipulation.
