Market manipulation and stock fraud are also crimes.

I hope we can create an anonymous world where they are not provable crimes.

Humans are always competing in any way they can. This is nature. Nature is not a crime. It just is.

I am suffering from some stupid decisions in life that put me in situations of higher risk and thus now am blind in one eye, have an (supposedly incurable) infection which usually results in head and throat cancer and automunity. I have symptoms that is underway. So nature has been tough of me, but I accept nature. I prefer my freedom (to destroy myself), than a guarantee hell of collective insurance.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm sorry but I listened to him and invested into Bitcoins and lost large sums of money. (It was my own choice to invest, acknowledged)
I now have followed his second pump, I entered at the wrong time . He announced it was going up and I'm at a big loss again.
Again it was my own choice, I am responsible but beware listening to his insane price predictions because it's evidenced he will pull the tablecloth from underneath you.


Yes, many people on this forum seem to have blindly followed the rhetoric from aminorex and rpietila over the last few months. I hope no one has really invested more than they can lose, but the passion that's being displayed by many Monero supporters makes me wonder to be honest.

I do remember rpietila specifically recommending some fairly conservative ratios with regard to speculations in XMR vs holdings in BTC. So many of these people who have seemingly gone 'all in' have done so against the advice of people they're supposed to be following.

I expect that things will calm down with regard to Monero rhetoric after all that has happened in the last month. The amount of drama has been unparalleled and spawned zealotry on both sides.

People should always remember that many of the people they follow are already wealthy individuals who can afford to lose. Just because they speculate on something doesn't mean that you should too. Everyone needs to be in control of their own personal financial situation and take some responsibility.
