Re: Goated.com 🐐✨ | The one-stop-shop for Degens. | Sports, Casino + Token airdrop!
I find it sus, a person with no history at all is here representing Goated
Do you mean bitcointalk account history or something else? if the former, it's understandable as they're new in the forum and it's nothing uncommon in casinos tryin to make a prescence in the forum.
and that none of the founders are either doxxed or widely known. This whole set up is sus af. I have more red flag concerns but this should keep you busy for a minute, as a casino operator you should be widely known and discoverable and that isnt just my opinion.
While I wouldn't necessarily say it's a red flag, I would honestly also prefer a known founder/s especially if the platform has the typical KYC/AML policies— for me, it's like meeting halfway.
Thank you both for your thoughtful feedback and concerns.
Transparency and trust are crucial here in the crypto and gambling industries, so I totally understand your points. Let me take a moment to address them while sharing more about Goated.
On My Presence in the Forum
You’re absolutely right—I don’t have a long history here on Bitcointalk, and I understand why that might raise concerns. That said, I’m here to share updates, answer questions, and provide insights into Goated’s progress as the platform continues to grow and build. While I may not be well-known here yet, my goal is to engage thoughtfully and keep this community updated and part of the journey as Goated develops.
On Founders and Transparency
Goated deeply values its community, which is why I’m here to address all questions openly. While I understand the preference for fully public and doxxed founders, I would say, the team behind Goated is actually quite largely doxxed within the Web3 space and includes individuals with extensive experience in blockchain and crypto. They’re taking a Web3-first approach, which, in my opinion, sets Goated apart from traditional online platforms.
From what I’ve seen, Goated’s focus right now is on growth over publicity, prioritizing product development and delivering value to its users. This ensures that the platform is built on a solid foundation while continuing to gain attention from not only players but industry leaders. It has grown massively and purely organically which simply shows what is becoming to be.
Angel Round Investors
To further emphasize Goated’s credibility, I’ve shared some details about the Angel Round Investors backing the platform on the main thread as well as this reply. These investors are well-respected figures in the Web3 and blockchain space, bringing a wealth of experience and trust to Goated.
Here’s a snapshot of the backers supporting Goated:
Notable backers include:
- Sandeep (Polygon) – Key figure in scaling Ethereum via Polygon.
- OxMaki (Ex-SushiChef) – Known as a leading voice and innovator in decentralized finance.
- Thiccy (Scimitar Capital) – A respected trader and venture investor with a focus on DeFi and markets.
- Ramnik & Brian Lee (Ex-FTX Ventures) – Experienced in navigating challenging markets, now focused on building platforms with integrity.
- Victor (Ex-Coinbase) – A veteran of one of the world’s largest and most trusted crypto exchanges.
To summarize, Goated is rapidly growing and positioning itself as an innovative Web3-first platform. My role here is to keep this thread updated, share insights, and provide answers as the platform builds and develops. Goated is making moves, and I’m confident its unique qualities will continue to shine to the top.
