I'm going to buy my stake back. A few questions: Is utopian future still involved in the project? Could we make clear that we don't need FUDster and spammers like Come-from-Above? I hate those trolls and I got a little emotional lately which was the reason I didn't want to buy back actually but know I calmed down a little.
UtopianFuture is no longer involved in NEM.
If 'making it clear we don't need them' was all it took to eliminate trolls, then the internet would be a much happier place.
We should distance ourselves from UF. As fas as I can tell UF is only a community and stake list manager. The rules of NEM distribution are clear and transparent. The list went through a public auditing by a dozen of independent people. All information is public. People sent money in to enroll and everyone can do so. So UF did not have a special power to change the process. He made a mistake in his personal capacity but NEM's ideas and technology are heathy and attractive to many people. We should make that clear.
So far Totem, everything i've seen from you recently I agree with thus far. Sorry for doubting your authenticity a few days ago - given the circumstances i'm sure you'd understand my suspicion.
It's unfortunate what happend with UF, and even moreso the trolls came out in full force to exploit what otherwise was a bad situation. But as i said before; to me, this indicates the potential success of this coin.
With all of this in mind, it's clear to me that we're weathering the storm very well, and the NEM asset is maintaining a steady value across the board. This bodes extremely well.
