No wonder this coin is at 7.9k when a complete retard like yourself is the prominent voice of the community.

Last night, I was talking with a friend that I haven't talked to in a while. He has maybe 10K VRC and checked on it yesterday for the first time since the price was in the 20K+ range. He checked the BCT Thread and then sent me a message. We chatted for a bit before the subject of you came up. His immediate question was, "Why does that guy even post in that thread anymore?"

This is a question that has been put out there multiple times, but I don't believe that it's ever been answered. It usually just disregarded with some derogatory remark such as "That's a typical fanboy question". My friend's certainly not a fanboy; he rarely even reads the forums and checks on VRC maybe once every two months, yet he still thought it was a legitimate question.

I jokingly suggested that he post the question himself, to which he responded, "Yea, right! And have that guy attack me? No f'ing thank you." That's the vibe that you give off.

All I can really do is speculate, but I attempted to answer the question myself. This is what I told him (feel free to make corrections):

"AltcoinUK was very supportive of the coin and the developers a few months ago, so much so that he probably fit the current definition of a 'cheerleader'. As time went on, he became unhappy with the rate at which features were being implemented as well as the direction that the devs were going with some of the planned features (like the Coinsis Card). The price decline has just added fuel to the fire since he views it as a direct result of feature stagnation and the coin not going in a direction that he wants. Now he believes that, in desperation, the developers have given up control of VeriCoin to James, the SuperNET guy, and are allowing him to dictate the future direction of the coin. He seems to believe that if he berates the developers enough and makes the same points over and over again, he can convince them to get back on a development track that he believes will be more productive for the coin."

My friend's response to that was to quote Albert Einstein, "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."

I think your friend was trying to give you a piece of personal advice.

He seems like a delicate fellow at that. Good friend.
