He is a fucking virus. He chooses a coin, infects it, pumps it up, and then dumps out and spreads to the next victim with even more BTC in hand. The thing that is really disgusting about him is that, unlike respectable whales out there who simply dump after the pump and move on, IE has a history of burning the house down on the way out (or at least trying to).
And for all you people out there who are saying VRC is too big and mainstream to be affected... well, just remember blackcoin. VRC is currently not as "big" or "mainstream" as BC was when it was shook. But it is very comforting to think he didn't get in early, it would be a lot harder to pull the stunts he did with BC and Liberty on VRC because of that alone.
how can you even compare blackcoin to VRC?
One could easily compare them based on their innovations.
First off, VRC was based on BC. VRC might not exist if not for BC?
VRC offers a lot of new innovations like SMS, VeriSend, anon, etc. But BC also made many new innovations of the time like, oh IDK the whole pure PoS idea that nearly every coin is based on now, the whole multipool idea that every PoS coin uses now, the USB card idea which a lot of alts are doing now, and now they are working on a decentralized exchange/smart contract service and PoS 2.0 which will likely be copied by all forthcoming coins...
Or one could compare them based on their approach towards transparency.
BC was the first altcoin that I know of to do google hangouts/live community discussions...
BC still has a higher market cap than VRC in case you weren't aware, and it's ATH is higher... so, yeah... that's how I can compare. And TBH the reason I bought this coin back when it was below 1k sat was because it reminded me of BC when it was below 1k sat... So my comparison worked for me so far.
