But who would pay people to do this? First, to who or what is Uro a threat? I honestly can't see anyone that would be behind this. Second, why try to kill it through fud? I mean, there are probably better ways to kill a coin than FUD, I doubt any of their comments are having much of an impact.
It's not about it being a threat. It's about potentially MILLIONS of dollars at stake and if you are so greedy that you would do ANYTHING to try and get a coin as cheap as possible that could inflate your wealth significantly, why NOT pay some people to FUD a coin and drop the price? If you don't think the FUD hasn't had an impact you weren't there that day when everyone was excited from the price rise to .03 and then an army of sock accounts and newbies invaded the URO thread to FUD it and it tanked the price down 80-90% in just hours.
Also consider for some people around the world, the prospect of getting paid .5 btc or whatever the going rate is to FUD a coin non-stop for a month beats sewing shoes or soldering electronics in a sweat shop.
Ask yourself why Chang and crew hasn't fudded this heavily on all the other scam coins on bitcointalk? Where were they when I outed Darkcash?
