Wow! I did not read all of the posts here, pretty interesting for the posts I did read to get a feel for the thread. I lost a lot of money with "he that shall not be mentioned" and I am very grateful for the community to rally together and make something good out of a bad situation. I know that there is nothing I can say to change the minds of some of the people here, which I hope at least have good intentions to try and protect people. I wish they had been around when we were duped.  My experience with ION has been nothing but excellent. I think some of the confusion on the chart is due to BTC being the baseline, which is always moving. My spreadsheet tied to BTC and USD shows a pretty steady increase compared to the USD. Not to squelch someone's opinion, because I wouldn't want mine squelched, but I am curious why the continued bad blood is here when my experience is far different? Not sure my proof would change anything, but the FUD is not warranted in the current environment. Peeps may not be a fan of the games, but I think they are a proof of concept to get other game developers involved with the eco-system. I would think a colored ball match up game would be a hit, since my wife plays one all of the time. 

I would love to discuss this civilly if I could help clarify anything from my personal experience, but I don't really want to get in a pissing match.

Happy New Year!
