I know you worked hard on komodo for many years, you have a reputation as a hard working contributor who has done a lot to make komodo successful. Getting negative feedback can hurt, but it's honestly given, everyone here dreams of stacking a bag of a future top coin @ fractions of a penny, and then cashing in 50% and making 250k USD, there's nothing wrong with that BUT, in this case with pirate you should not have been telling others not to buy while you were obviously buying big yourself. You probably didn't want to be held responsible in case pirate failed, but in crypto where there are so many scammers everywhere it was a bad look, and can easily be misinterpreted forever, like Dash launch.
