Hello all,

I haven't contributed much on here lately but that's not to say I haven't been following all the conversations. I just wanted to chime in real quick with a couple of thoughts to add a different point of view.

First of all, I think it's ridiculous to think this forum should be shut down. All you anti-BTCtalk.org terrorist out there are giving this forum wayyyyyyy too much credit. I hope you all realize if this forum disappeared today - it wouldn't do a damn thing to help vericoin. The only reason you feel this forum is so destructive is because you empower all these FUD terrorist. Stop feeding the trolls!! I know it's a lose/lose scenario where you can either:
1. Ignore the trolls - at which point they will use that against you to only try to 'strengthen' their argument. Or...
2. Engage with the trolls - you will never win.

It's a lose/lose scenario but you know what the lesser of two evils is here? Just ignoring them.

You want to know my theory on the situation? I'd bet AltcoinUK & Barabbas have lost less money than anyone else on here. Yup that's right; they loss less many than anyone else. I could be wrong, I damn well know they will both take time to try and argue with me that I am. But I have a background in finance and I know how the human mind works when it comes to money. What I found in the profession was: the less money someone had, the louder the voice. It's counter intuitive to what you might think but when i made someone who had $5,000,000 another $500,000 I barely got a thank you. When I made someone with $30,000 another $3,000 I was all of a sudden their best friend, invited to the wedding, meet the family, etc. On the other side of the coin you take that person with $30,000 and you lose $3,000 of their money... Holy shit look out! Now you get an ear full of what they could have done with that money, why they shouldn't have listen to you, how much stress this has caused them. Basically I ruined their life... Not good. Oh and that person with $5,000,000? You drop their account by 10% sure they aren't going to be happy - but guess what? They don't bitch about it all day, everyday, for 3 fricken months.

So you look at these people who spend all day, all night on these forums bitching - for months! MONTHS! You know what that tells me? They have nothing better to do with their time. College students, maybe even high school who lost their $500 allowance for the semester and now can't buy their PBR on the weekend. People that have serious money don't spend all their free time on online forums bitching about how much they are down on their investment, you know why? Because they are busy winning at life.

What what's my point here? Those who still support Vericoin and the devs behind it need to stop worrying so much about the haters on here - counter arguing all of their points and trying to get them to convert. Just stop. The louder someone's voice - the less money they have lost. So why let some guy/gal who dropped a couple hundred dollars on crypto ruin your day? If you stop feeding the trolls - they will lose their power.

Second quick point: no the only people who are dumping are not unsatisfied investors. There are plenty of people who are still more than happy with the dev team and the way things are going who simply want to drive the price lower so they can increase their position in VRC. It's a game. Don't forget that

I actually agree with this post... 100%. Everything he said in this post is accurate IMO.

Full on... IGNORE ANYONE who can't have a civil discussion. Point blank.

And that goes for those who fully support VeriCoin too. JUST IGNORE THEM.

They only have power... if you give it to them.

Do NOT respond to them - especially if they quote your post and ramble on and on. Conspiracy this... conspiracy that.

Now... at the same time... if someone has a valid concern... and delivers that concern in a reasonable fashion - absolutely engage in a CONSTRUCTIVE dialogue.

Otherwise... ignore, ignore, ignore.

If you post something critical... and deliver your argument in a cohesive, rational manner... I will have a conversation with you.

Oh and new forums at www.VeriCoinForums.com

Have nice day! Cool
