It's seriously starting to piss me off how every criticism is instantly labelled "FUD" by the hodlers. Dev team is acting like a bunch of alcoholics who act like everything is under control and yet can't keep a single promise. Somehow we need to give them a reality check so they would man up and start delivering.
Only reason I'm not selling my whole stash is because rich list is not selling for some reason. Any opinions on that? Could all of this be orchestrated so the informed parties can fill up their bags? I would think at least some of the XVG whales would be selling some after todays embarassment.
Because 90% of criticism lately has been FUD. You're obviously new to crypto, what you and the other 90% of people that got into crypto last week need to realise is that this is not regulated like any other investment. Its treated like the stock market but think back to the Wolf of wall street days but without any regulation or the risk of jail time. Even Jordan Belfort said it himself along the lines of "these crypto guys are making millions by doing what I got sent to jail for! If this was around in my time I would've made BILLIONS!". It rose hard and consistently for a few weeks and people now think that is the norm? All good things come to an end and we're entering a period where the road will be rocky, there will be big ups and downs, hint: that's how the whales increase their share, this is how Jordan Belfort made his millions.
Show me the impeccable professionalism in any of the other coins we're all invested in, you can probably count them on one hand. Show me the other coins that have made promises and have grand visions but are even close to having a product with any of their claims actually functional, once again you could probably count them on one hand. Think, why aren't the whales selling? Do you think they became whales by panic selling at every hurdle or do you think they held and bought up when pussies sold in fear because they picked an investment they believed in? If you don't believe in Verge that's fine, I couldn't care less, but this applies to all coins; use your head and look long term when making decisions in this unregulated wild west of crypto instead of spur of the moment choices based on emotions or you'll lose every time. If you don't believe in Verge now then go invest in another coin, this one obviously wasn't for you, but you still need to learn a lot or you'll be frustrated with every other coin you choose, they all have their troubles in one way or another.
Regarding whales, you were on the right track in your second last sentence but threw yourself off again in your last sentence.
