let's also not pretend Dean doesn't have the resources to actually repay his investors he screwed. He's no doubt netted a few million from his little ICO scam, and if memory serves (I might be wrong, I'd need to check) I was in talks with him to sell him my site for 10M dollars. He's only motivation here is unabridged greed.
Again, making assumptions and stating opinions as if they are facts. Just like jolly good.
You know absolutely nothing of what our costs were in the past year and a half. You don't know what was spent on marketing, promos, development (you say frugal, I had 6 devs working for me for a year, they don't work for free).
Here's the other thing, you or any of these trolls don't need to know either as you had no BKB anyway.
I am in direct contact with all my biggest token holders and we have chatted about all the changes for many months. It's not a public discussion.
You don't know people who bought the ico or how they feel. I did say that 600 btc (the bankroll funds since we made no profit) was used to buy back tokens. That is 600 btc that comes right out the bankroll. Remember 50% was meant to be used for the bankroll? Well that obviously drops doesn't it? More tokens were bought back when price was actually low as no one wanted to sell when btc price was 20k and it was only 3 months into the project. It's been going down since.
You know, as well as I know your issue, that I couldn't sell btc when it was at the top so don't act like I profited millions. No bank would give me an account.
The btc remained as btc up to 20k and down to 3k, except when paying our expenses.
So when I changed to this model I owned 70% of all BKB (you lot seem to want to ignore that fact, 600 btc of the original funds was used to buy these tokens).
20% has been converted to the new token by holders who are clearly in favor of the direction we are going in.
There's a small amount that will never be claimed (old bounties, promo wins etc) and there's a few people who might be unhappy or are waiting to see how the new system goes. But that certainly doesn't show scam.
Businesses fail every day. It doesn't make them scams.
I was the biggest investor in this that lost, I put over $1 million of my own money into the business.
Businesses change models or pivot all the time, especially if the old model didn't work which clearly it didn't here.
It's obvious to me that the majority of people are in fact in support of the changes and I feel that this way will be far more profitable. For a start, traffic and profit is actually increasing now.
Use some logic. If I was a scammer, why would I still be running the site? I mean my lawyers have told me I can close it and have no legal obligation to buy back any tokens.
Why would I not have just closed right after ICO instead of spending on dev/marketing?
Why would I not have stole investment in 2016 instead of returning it to everyone?
Why would I not decide even that BK relaunch wasn't doing well after a year and just get out then while we still had money?
A scammer doesn't hang about the scene for 5 years.
Got any other assumptions you want to make without knowing anything of how the business actually works? Because your trust feedback you left shows you don't have a clue.
