Right, because manipulating new investors to sell by relentlessly posting on stock forums is in any way ethical.
Are you insane?!?He told he hoped small investors would cash out before the whales did, because it was going to plummet... and it did. And this when the price was ~3 BTC.
He gave us the right advice, of course people didn't listen, and their investment vaporised.
And now he has to be bashed, too?
Have you considered the possibility that you are the asshole, here?
Thanks... yes I have and I'm certainly coming off as a bit righteous. It's just that your point - is the problem. He bashes a stock repeatedly (often merely using FUD - FC's been incommunicative, etc.) and then wins in the process and then sticks around and acts like he was giving advice - because he predicted and contributed to the price going down - I'm sorry that's just not cool.
He may actually be a great guy that decided that since he was giving advice, anyways,
he might as well financially profit from it. OK... Anyways... I hate bullies and I hate it even more when folks don't see - the situation is morally complicated. The dude took advantage - which is not what this Bitcoin scene is all about - he took advantage of n00bal emotions, he took advantage of FC being busy setting up the new HK data center, he took advantage of the smaller dividends to stoke a doubt into a panic. The exchanges closing just added the fuel.
Profiting by contributing to panic at the loss of other's wealth is just plain not cool...
I'll shut up now and you guys can trumpet the dude's brilliance, honesty, and integrity in insuring we all got out in time.
