I deleted the post so holders dont panic .

Well the post isn't going anywhere since Mick quoted it. Here's the response I was writing before it was removed:

Well, Harsh. You literally asked to be perma-banned. Not in a "you were asking for it" way, but that was quite literally your request, which Justin proceeded to do. I believe you used the phrase "I am too greedy." Of course if you buy at ATH, you're not going to have a good time in the short term. The market can be a cruel mistress. Several members of this community scorned us when they bought at peak and then it went down. Well, shit happens.

I personally detest the "moon" and "bags" talk as that is not where I want the discourse of our community to go and ultimately not what the Embermine Platform is about. I want to build tools for maximizing human potential, not cater to wannabe day traders waiting for moon. I don't care about riches and glory, I simply want to make a difference with tools that actual creatives will use, not people obsessively checking portfolios and their gains. That's actually a reason I really like Autonio, is that their tech has the potential to be used in a variety of contexts with end-users interacting with the market without making it a part-time job.

There may have been assumptions as to when and how the hack would be resolved. Modifying a timeline when trusted third parties are involved is risky when it comes to expectations. Everything is in flux, in constant motion.

No one is "conning newbies," the whole bags talk, which I am not fond of, is simply familiar parlance amongst enthusiastic traders and supporters of this space. I prefer talk of blockchain's merits as a technology rather using price as the sole metric of success (which it is not). Is Bitcoin being used as P2P digital cash or a viable medium of exchange in commerce in any significant way since its inception nine years ago? No. But people are enamored by the price. 

Eventually, I want the majority of the active members of the community to be creatives interested in using the platform. Because those people are why we are doing this in the first place.

------------------

Bottom line. Patience is a virtue in this space. Posting a huge block of ALL CAPS text in a community forum denouncing the project and the team when you appeared enthusiastic and excited about the project a week ago is not a great way to approach things.


Anyway, back to it!
