RE: Remember back to 2015-2016 when it was cool to announce announcements hoping for a pump?

Starting to see a pattern here. “Big idea” > Hype it like crazy > make money from gullible users/investors > leave it/let it stagnate

See:

Steemit

Bitshares

EOS

etc

      I'll say this - this is reporting with sources, conclusions are up the reader ;) But it sure does tell a very compelling story, eh?

        And that sort of thing is why my team is called the No Bull witness ;) (@noblewitness)

        Frankly, there's a lot more, and I've been sitting on a ton of links and info for while that mostly connect more of the above, but it all came from doing a little homework from those starting points and paying attention around here for quite a while. Nothing is entirely "conclusive" but it sure isn't inconclusive either.

        Now think about phrases and cliches around here "bitshares gang" and "preminers" and so on...

        Sorry to be depressing, maybe? But some of us are feeling woke and working our way up the witness ladder. We're pretty sure that it's gated at about 30ish though. And controlled from there, clearly by pumpkin/freedom, but that is not the only way they can gate it. Secret slacks...

        Well, let's talk about decentralization.
        It's a sad situation.
        Thanks, again.
