I personally feel that with or without Max spearheading this campaign, the movement is here and alive. I know of a lot of investors in ChainCoin that are in it for the long haul. I feel Max is a man of integrity and cannot see how losing his online reputation would be worth dumping on this community. My Gauge on CHC is looking at the MasterNode set ups day by day as a good indicator of where we are.

As for the move to Linda coin I don't see this as an issue, I bought in at 2 sats and am in profit. It is not like he can go live everyday and push ChainCoin. Time will tell what will happen with all these cryptos, but me personally I have put in the money that I am happy to lose if it all goes downhill.
