In your post you state: "I don't know if that really is Reggie Middleton. I can't imagine why he would care enough to post on my blog that had 40 views."

So uh, first off, you're undervaluing your own position. If anyone actually should care, then why shouldn't the real Reggie Middleton- (who it is very clear based on the language used in his response) the guy whose product and reputation you're dissing care? And if he shouldn't care then why should anyone else? You got to see the paradox there, no?

Well surprise, it looks like he does care. He sounds like a serious guy, with a long list of accomplishment in the traditional financial world that he brings with him into the crypto space. Seems like he rolls with a strong handle on what's being said about him online and actively invests some of his time in defending himself.

I haven't looked at the Veritaseum site or his videos and I probably won't get around to them any time soon because other people who I pay attention to, with high level awareness of what's going on in the crypto-space respect him and his work; and that's enough for me to want it to succeed.

As for the number of his actual appearances on CNBC, if you know anything about how public reputations are built and managed, then you'd know those things really do matter. You were disregarding the significance of his accomplishment as a noteworthy public figure in the financial world, and he called you out on it. And with regard to the stock picking contest, again you're dismissing the number of his opponents is an inaccurate assessment of the seriousness of the competition. He's not going against average Joes pluck from off the street, he's competing against 5 of the top traders in the industry, who appear on the network shows every day, because they live, breath and sleep financial trading. So try to come a bit more correct on the represent tip, ok?

Finally, what if the website isn't cutting edge design? So what if his video production quality is low. People that do big things in life and business sometimes let the less significant (read non-revenue producing) activities such as web design and video quality go incomplete. Yes it matters to some people, but it doesn't sound like you're bringing big (or any money actually) to the table. Plenty of people with real money seem to be flocking to Veri, and I don’t think they’re going to change their mind about it, because you said the website and some Reggie’s videos have low production value. Veritaseum is a significant accomplishment, both in technology and financial terms. Yea’s there are plenty of scams out there in crypto-land, but calling out the legit one’s for reasons with little weight to them, doesn't makes a whole lot of sense.

Hopefully you can learn something from the experience of getting called out personally on social media by a major player in the industry. Perhaps put more effort into your research, analysis and writings in the future. You know you can do better.
