- MetalBlock's whitepaper is highly plagiarized, they are also using text spinners to avoid detection which i find even more damning.
- Another gold-backed ERC20 shit token on the horizon as if we don't have enough of those already.

Hello Dear , Thank you for your comment and attention to this project. Let us clarify once again all points in order to avoid any misunderstandings in the future.
First, the person, who was hired to do white paper probably took some inspiration in writing from other sources. Since, exist similar projects with a similar concept. And he is already facing the consequences, be sure. But the fact is not white paper, its about documentation and proofs.
Second, The Metalblock project is REAL. Every single documentation about mineral report, geological analyses , and license permission can be checked and double-checked in real time in the official sources. Here is the link. https://metalblock.io/documents/ And all of them are disclosed in a clear and transparent way.
Third, if you are really interested in investment into this project, we are more than happy to give you more information, facts and proofs to make you sure in reality of this project. Thank you for your comment. We appreciate it.
