False perception on your part. If you own stock in a company, you should be able to expect that they will generate an income for which you receive a share. Some things break or need maintenance or don't always work on the first try. Nuclear reactors owned by power companies are a good example of all three things I mentioned. Now, as a holder of shares and thus in effect being part owner of said company, you also share the losses if there are any. There are many examples of this that you are welcome to go look for all on your own.
In the case of SYS, you prebought coins or you are exchanging coins with others. You don't exactly own part of SYS or MOOLAH, I believe. I could be wrong about that part, maybe.
So, you invest independently by negotiating a deal with a third party. Kinda like buying a used car. The manufacturer of that car has no obligation to you and probably not the seller either.
You just explained one scenario that kept repeating these past few months. But, go backwards to the beginnings (e.g. Bitcoin/Litecoin/Peercoin). You dont even have to look that far back, check out Darkcoin and you will see there was no premine, no IPO. They did not "need" it, they did not want all those investors. That was my whole point since I started this conversation, by doing the IPO you have commited yourself to the investors and in a sense the "Syscoin Team" does owe them.
I was very coherent. I called you a freeloader. Where was I not clear? I'm disgusted by how many people think that every stranger owes them something simply because they can pout really really well. That's the extent of my distress - gastronomical inversion caused by nauseating behavior from a whiner.
Anyways I was just defending myself against vicvelcro who spat out incoherent replies, in which I immediately understood he was under distress and stopped the conversation.
It's great to read your opinion. You have excellent points, if only you'd be able to express them in a non-attacking manner. Like I said earlier, have a good day.
