Hi nutildah, I trust you are doing OK, i was actually going to pm this message to you, but I decided its more appropriate to make this public, atleast, there is no longer a need to hide anything.

First, I want to begin by telling you that the bSpend account was neither hacked/stolen nor bought, but I am not going to argue on the fact of it changing hands cus it actually did change hands.

Secondly, I know the owner of the bSpend account in person, he is my friend and mentor, he introduced cryptocurrency to me way back 2020/2021, at that time, I knew nothing about this forum until around October 2023 when he told me to sign up here, I did registered an account which is currently in a junior member rank, I knew nothing about the bSpend account but obviously; this was his account though he was no longer active here for a long time because he's already doing very well for himself, and how he obtained this account, i can not tell, whether he bought it or grew the account by himself, I did not ask him until yesterday when I saw the nautral tag, and his response on the phone was that this was his personal account, and that I should simply ignore whatever any user here have said or is saying, but I can't simply ignore since the bSpend account is currently in my possession and I care for it's reputation.

How the bSpend account got in my possession...
Like I did mentioned before,  I was introduced to this forum around October 2023 when I signed up, around January of 2024, I got discussing with my mentor about how hard it was to earn merit and rank up here, having told me all about the forum, I was very interested in ranking up so as to open me up to opportunities, I was asking to know if there was any way other way around the ranking system, but unfortunately, he said there was none, that I have to follow the due process, but he later on told me he would let me have his account since the forum is no longer important to him, he told me he already lost access to the email address he initially registered the account with, that he would change it and let me know after it was done, I said OK, this was in January.

Some time around February, I called him to ask how far about his promise, he simply sent me the loggin email and password to this account - the bSpend account, and that was how I start posting from the bSpend account.

Summary
1. So, you are right about this account changing hands, it was simply handed over to me by a friend and mentor, some one who already is doing very well for himself and no longer have the time or desire to continue to be active here on the forum.

2. You are wrong about the bSpend account being hacked/stolen or bought, I am no technical person and have no knowledge of how to hack, and neither have I paid the owner of this account as a way of purchasing it from him.

3. I have no idea if any one had previously owned this account before the current owner handed it over to me, I have no idea of how to search the history of a bitcointalk account to find any of this out myself, I only know one user before myself, and he's someone I know in person.

Please note that I am not making this post to appeal that you take off your nautral tag on the bSpend account, i am only posting this to debunk the claim that this account was hacked/stolen or bought, non of this is true aside it changed hands.
