His promotion of ICOs has never been an issue, it's his use of this for his own personal gain that's an issue. He buys tokens in the ICOs he promotes and then dumps them on the guys he shills to as well as the fact he uses it as a platform to gain publicity and notoriety.

I think most of the ICOs that he has been promoting has something to do with him. He is shilling coins and tokens to make profit from it, and he is paid to promote it since he is well-known and influential in terms of computer and technology. That is why most are aware of this, and not following what he is shilling.

It seems to me that he created an excessive excitement in this market and in general, behaved defiantly.

As far as I remember, our beloved grandfather now lies in the hospital and I did not see any more news after this statement, maybe he stopped someone from doing their own thing?

How can this be called promotion? He's just dealing with a cheap pump of useless coins. In addition, very soon he will have dinner with a dish of his own penis. Trying to avoid the inevitable.

Yes, but Joni will continue to be a crypto-enthusiast so that no one can prohibit him from talking about cryptocurrencies.
