Been fun

I'm glad I got in at .0005 before bitfunder went down



Very nice. There are a lot of shareholders (maybe I'm one) who would have sold some, a lot, or all of their shares by now (for a big loss) if trading were active right the way through the last few months. I am thinking that somewhere along the line Ken has known the company is definitely going to turn a profit but if trading resumed so many shareholders would have lost out due to the negative sentiment. I do think that he has purposely done us all a big favour by not getting trading back up before definitive news of success is released. Obviously that's my view and he could never confirm that but if I was CEO and I knew success was coming (but couldn't prove that to the shareholders for various reasons) I would consider doing the same - if the shares had by accident come off the market already.


I hope you're not serious.

"Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness."

If selling at a low would have been a mistake, I for one want the ability to make my own mistakes.  It's not for Ken or anyone else to decide what happens with my investments.

I'm glad things seem to be moving in the right direction.  It's good you're positive about the company, especially being so heavily vested.  But we're not there yet.  It's going to take a lot to make up for the last 12 months.
