In reading through other threads, I have noticed that Vericoin is rapidly developing a reputation for having a very rude and obnoxious community. After reading the past few pages it is not difficult to see why.
For those of you that claim to be supporters of the Vericoin, you do realize that most of the new investors you are trying to attract will visit this forum prior to making a buying decision. Don't you?
I would like to challenge all of you to go back several pages and read them again from the perspective of a new investor investigating the merits of Vericoin. Now be honest with yourselves and recognize that this potential new investor does not even know how incredibly brilliant you are.
Does this new investor see...
A: ...an active community (with a healthy amount of respectful disagreements) intelligently discussing the future of Vericoin and standing ready to perhaps "assist" the new investor with any questions they might have?
... or ...
B: ...a never ending amount of page filling quotes of quotes of still more quotes of quoted quotes of absolute drivel that has long ago strayed from the original topic and turned into nothing more than a contest to try to prove to the other(s) who has the biggest dick!?
If your answer is "A" please re-read the part about being honest with yourself. If you answered "B" ask yourself (still from the perspective of a potential new investor) "Do I even want to be involved with this coin"?
Additionally, please be aware that you do not come across the way you might think you do in these slap fests to those of us who may be unaware of how special you are. Instead, the reader can only conclude that...
1. You (that's right, YOU) are no where near as smart as you are attempting to portray yourself as being.
2. All participants most likely have to employ the use of special tweezers when using the restroom or you would not be so desperate to convince us that you are actually men.
Most of you know who you are but if you are not sure if you are included, there is an easy way to find out. Are you angered by the above statements and/or are you attempting to find any spelling errors or improper sentence structure that can be used to "shut me up good" in a response to this post? If so then yes, I am asking you to grow up and learn to communicate like an adult.
I am not aware of such reputation but I can assure you that what happens in this thread is very much the exact replica of what happens in every other thread. As a matter of fact, I would propose to you a clarifying experiment: Create a totally new account (because the first thing that your critics will do, inevitably, is check your previous posts) and post exactly the same content, word by word, substituting the name of the coin only. I guarantee you that the responses will be eerily similar.
Anyway, regarding your current post, the biggest dicks here are, by far, those of socal and the two more vocal of the three devs. There's not even a question about it, no doubt whatsoever, so there's no going contest there.
What is going on, on the other hand, is a question that, for many, implies the potential (or lack thereof) of survival of Vericoin. And I for one believe that potential investors would actually be quite grateful for being able to see the whole picture, from different perspectives. I know that I would if I were considering putting money into it, so I believe others would too. But this is just part of my particular conviction and dedication to expose the truth and the bad players (Mind you, I started both the WALL OF HONOR and the WALL OF SHAME on these forums -perhaps you should visit those... certainly any new investor in crypto should-). You, obviously, would prefer something akin to an unified community bent on scamming any new investors offering only the harmonic and rose-colored side of their perceptions, in which case, you may have landed in the wrong place and if so, you should perhaps be running for the exits instead of lecturing us in con tactics.
Too much of that in crypto already.
