They also have a suspicious army of fanboys who bark at people for not extolling their glory similar to the way Paycoiners do. And they think it's somehow honorable to not pay their writers in Bitcoin.
I think people are just passionate about them because of some of the shit that has happened. After hearing the editor tonight on this podcast I am really thinking they are doing the right things. It changed my opinion somewhat on them.
I see some people defend other sites with just as much passion including yours. Not that it is bad. People have opinions.
Oh yeah, they found that "David Parker" takes bribes.
The original article is no longer on Medium.
Anyway, as was discussed in the Reddit thread, our Sponsored Stories are clearly marked as such. They're more like a textual ad up to 500 words long.

So whatever, if you call that bribing, even though it happens completely above-board, then your definition of bribing is clearly not in line with the actual definition, which describes something more behind-the-scenes and sinister.
Thank you for addressing it. Keep writing. You specifically and coin fire are my sources right now. I like your writing moreso than most on the site you write for and will follow you to other sites if you ever switch.
what Mr. Gonzo lied and is dumping coins? im shocked
it will be interesting to see this new article from CF. hopefully it will shine some light on things like: 1.) did they dump paycoin to make profits for GAW 2.) did people inside GAW dump paycoin for personal gain (... tax fraud is not far fetched imo) 3.) both
and how systemic is it, will more than Mr. Gonzos head roll? team xpy continues this proud tradition till this day (cough 'foundation coins')?
ps: i wonder when cryptsy will delist poopcoin
Hey coinfire people. I believe the story because i sent an foia letter to SEC and got a response back that they can't turn over documents because they are protected.
Even still... something with less black boxes would go a long way. I get protecting your sources but even just a case number would be nice.
