How do you quantify over advertising?

Hi Andrea. Thanks for coming to the thread.

One question I have had for a long time is whether or not you can say you have personally met (face to face and not using video chat) John Carley or anyone else who is a non marketing employee of the company?

I haven't kept up with the discussion in the past few weeks but one thing that never seemed to happen is that the people behind the company (the administrators/programmers/bankrollers) ever had any verifiable presence, just representatives who had never met their employers. (If this has changed in the past few weeks, please clue me in and I apologize.) Regardless of whether the company is a ponzi or not this just seems shady, especially considering how long its been going on.

Hi,my name is Thomas Opperman. I am the PR manager at Bitcoin Trader. My Facebook account is 100006261707339@facebook.com. I have "met" Michael Brandenburg on Skype and I am an employee of BT. The reason for the anonymity of John Carley, Michael Brandenburg and especially the traders is because of security. They all want to minimize the risk of being hacked. The "normal" rules of internet safety gets stretched just a bit to ensure the safety of our clients money,but in extreme cases extreme measures must be taken. We understand that people want a "face" they can trust,but the security factor is the main reason for the anonymity. In the time I have been with BT I have been attacked 3 times because people think I have in some way access to the funds(which I don't). So imagine what the effect would be if the people who do are announced to the public?I hope this is an acceptable answer,but feel free to comment or contact me.

Hi Thomas,

I ve been with Bitcoin Treader for almost 6 months and ve been quite happy so far. I can understand the need to keep things private when dealing with large amounts of BTC but I can also understand the desire of lots of potential BT users to get more info about it. There s been a lot of scams online and it has been quite difficult for people to differentiate junk from the real deal. Once more, IMO, I have had great journey with Bitcoin Trader so far and I hope it ll stay profitable for all of us.

A quick question, when you say you are an BT employee, what does that exactly mean? You have some kind of full time contract with them?

Yes,I have a contract and specified tasks and responsibilities. I also have a set salary but not set working hours. As for full time contract : when my temporary 6 month contract expires and the bosses are happy with my work I get a full time permanent contract.
