I was not attacking him personally.  I was attacking his premise.  The premise that the coin isn't doing what it should because someone isn't doing what they should be doing or that someone promised something that didn't go exactly as planned.  DEVELOPMENT STAGE!!!! Every single person in crypto should already have an understanding of what they are getting into...and I know shojayxt KNOWS.  His emotional reaction should drive him to think harder and longer.  Not just simply react emotionally.  I'm down too but I am comfortable with the choice I made and how I made it.  The risk is self evident, inherent, and mine.  Consequently blame has no place on this stage (in the absence of some criminal action.)

Indeed.

I'm also comfortable with the choice I made. You buy into stuff for different reasons - sometimes to dump, sometimes to invest and sometimes simply because you like the damn thing and happen to have a technical interest in following it.

All the same, I recognise the antagonism that starts to manifest when people start getting down on their assets after high expectations. It's inevitable and if we're to feel justified about challenging "FUD" we should also recognise over hysterical hyping as the other side of the "FUD coin".

There's a couple times I've bought into pumps after reading the [ANN] threads (before I got a bit wiser to that kind of stuff) and then got left bag holding like a beached whale with a sense of rage directed straight at the thread posters who were of course mostly benefiting at my expense having bought in weeks earlier. When I saw all the hyping prior to RC3 I knew there was going to be some tears potentially and frankly I'm surprised at how little there is.

No matter - everyone's been brought back down to earth for a while and that's probably no bad thing.

The consolation - as I observed earlier - is that we're by no means alone and in fact doing not so bad by most standards Smiley
