My last post on bitcointalk.
I yearned for ANC since 2013, I tried to advertise it, I put in a few ideas and a little bit of work, not too much.
I told people how great it will and would be, I made them think it was on testnet on the 15th, I changed their way of thinking and some of the people bought, cuz they liked the idea.
Now I stand a fool - Just as I stood like a fool with Zetacoin.
It won't happen to me again, because this incident made me lose all trust in people on the internet. Even the people who supposedly did work on something and seemed legit even at second sight.
I won't come back to crypto anymore - I lost so much... and I gained too little, and I don't mean that moneywise.
Goodbye.
DUDE. At the most this should be a lesson never to invest in vapor-ware. We all know how hard any kind of project is. 99% of the time plans don't work. Think about kickstarter. It is only projects with prototypes/finished products that actually get any level of seeing to -- because things don't really exist and work until they -- wait for it -- exist and work. History tells us that most scams are not actually scams but delusions within both parties (the victim and the perpetrator). So, on the DEV's part this points to a) naivety, or b) dishonesty. On my/our part it was -- let's face it -- complete and utter naivety.
Another great disturbing factor is the lack of apology. COMPLETE lack, for the publicity/poorly working shell-ware. This means they are a1) sociopaths b2) boys who have a lot to learn about social relationships with human beings.
For the time being I am going with answers a, and b2. I have NOT taken out my shares, because there is nothing left to take.
There are hints that (am I getting this right?) anonCOIN is some kind of NSA potemkin village, designed to fail. To be honest I assumed Anonymous as a whole, in general, reeked of an FSB dezinformatsiya operation (I bought into the coin for ZC, not anon monkeys, see: embarrassing post in which I design a new logo due to anon insignia cringe factor). Granted -- I *may* be prone to romantic spy fantasies, but even so. If this turns out to be some kind of disinformation op -- upon a group I assumed to be a dissinfo op in the first place, then that will be the ultimate fucking joke. Frankly I believe in the clusterfuck theory, a monkey's tea-party if you will , but that's just me.
It was all timed too perfectly. The pump, the announces, the dump. Like a choreographed crypto-dance. I have no faith in their sincerity tbh
