So there is no interest in this coin, and yet ill informed people keep hounding it as if there is some reward in doing so.  Why is that? 

There are hundreds of coins worth less than MAX and yet this is the only one that comes under consistent fire.  Anyone with the basic grasp of human interaction knows that you do not attack that which does not pose a threat to you.  Why put forth the effort for something that does not matter?  If the coin is dead, as they would like newcomers to believe, then there is no reason to keep coming back and waste valuable time.  You have to aim up, to shoot something down!  And we all know how far the naysayers are below us

The game being played by the MAX "haters" is a psychological one, as it take more intelligence, ingenuity, and technical know-how to wage a technical battle in the crypto space.  When logical attacks fail, the weak minded have to resort to character assassination such as the for-mentioned "f**ing douchebag" remark.  Libel and speculation are the only tools left to those desperate to see the bags they are holding rise.  The only reason these threats persist is because MAX is in a position to threaten what they have put so much stock into.  And so the attacks persist. 

If you are new to the MAX community, take solace in the fact that such slander and lies are being slung at MAX.  Buy while it's cheap, contribute where you can, and if you can't contribute, donations are always welcome as the more projects are completed by the community, the more value is brought to the coin.
