My interest in Karma is multi-fold. I like the name and the marketing side of it since day one. My own personal philosophy centers on Buddhism so the whole "karmic debt / karmic boomerang" thing appeals to me.
I took over the Givecoin when it was on the verge of falling apart as well -- partially because we had made an investment into the coinbase by acquiring shares on the open market Bittrex (we currently hold about 15% of all mined coins to date) -- as the reserve / internal currency for
https://doabitofgood.comDuke any contributions (advice or otherwise) that you make to the community are welcomed and appreciated.
with that being said.. as you can clearly see now, we already have one person who claimed to be the messiah going back on their word and taking unilateral action to sell assets owned by the community without community consultation.
that process has been extremely destructive to that persons reputation and the community as a whole.
I will never again do business with a person who claimed to "donate" their time and resources to a project all to turn around and start selling things and making changes that benefit nobody.this is not the spirit of Karma (either the coin or the philosophy)
the senate has turned on Caesar because he took a republic which was built by the people for the people and tried rule over it like a king.
the last thing this community needs is another person coming in and claiming to own Karma and making unilateral decisions on the core system and how it operates.
this is not how open source crypto communities work and it is not how the community will grow over time...
you say that you worked on the BAMT project?.. well then you of all people should understand this principle.
feel free to buy services from Kosmost.. nobody will stop you (except maybe his shareholders)...
feel free to work for the good of the community everyone will support you...
but if you want to "own" Karma or any of its core assets then you have to join the community by owning or mining the coins just like everyone else.
I am one of the original members of the Karma team that formed after the original developer Karmagood was struggling (its all there in the history).. I have fought hard to keep the non profit "Karma" separated from any "for Profit" entity like Karmashares LLC and I will continue to do so in the future.
I support free enterprise just as I supported Karmashares' right to do business within the Karma ecosystem.. but there should always be a clear line between the
Non Profit Open source core of Karma and the
For Profit entities that want to use Karma, otherwise we will be back here in an other 3 months when the next messiah fails to deliver on their promises.
