Why do you call bitcore a piece of crap? Because you did not have time to sell it expensive? Did you buy it expensive and still hold, and why are you angry? Or did you not have time to participate in good money with this coin?

Cause it is. Usless shitcoin with ponzi past, trading on scam exchanges.
Started to trade it in Sep 2017 with 25 mined coins, got ~3200 before I sold it, how do you think? Just can't understand how do people still believe in this complete dead project after all.

could you describe the "ponzi" nature of this coin's past in more detail? the Wikipedia entry of "ponzi scheme" begins with this statement : "A Ponzi scheme (/ˈpɒnzi/; also a Ponzi game)[1] is a form of fraud which lures investors and pays profits to earlier investors by using funds obtained from more recent investors." given that BTX never had an ICO and hence never had "investors," and given that owning BTX is not supposed to give you any sort of recurring source of income (like a dividend), it seems inaccurate to claim that this coin had a "ponzi past." please elaborate - perhaps we are using different definitions of the adjective "ponzi." for reference, here's the Wikipedia article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

could you describe the "useless" nature of this coin, given that one can use it to make online and offline purchases? to see where it can be used, go here : https://bitcore.cc/resources/eco-system-2/ (scroll down to "services integrated with bitcore"). it lists kamoney, paytomat (a point-of-sale terminal in physical stores), cryptonaut, luckygames.io, and games4coins.

could you explain what you mean by "completely dead", given that this bitcointalk forum is obviously still active, the reddit forum is active ( https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcore_btx/ ), and the GitHub code repository for the coin was last updated 6 days ago ? ( https://github.com/topics/bitcore ) .

it would help readers of this forum to backup any claims you have with evidence; that would allow you to sway them to your side. I would suggest that, perhaps, people still believe in this project because the measurable evidence of its success which they are aware of (see the links I have supplied above) have not yet been sufficiently countered by measurable evidence of its failure. You say that you started trading it and got close to "3200" before you sold it. what does that mean? I assume that we are meant to interpret that statement as negative evidence, but the wording (at least to me) makes its meaning unclear.

Do not try to explain this to him. This person considers the Ponzi scheme all that has caused him a loss. The bubble and the pyramid are different things.
