but BTC would crash to $200 within a month as huge amounts of BTC would be handed over to Nordstroms and Bloomingdales, who'll instant convert to get $Fiat to pay for overhead, taxes and employee expenses. 

For someone not interested in reading the past 86 pages (no offense), could someone recap why the OP lost a whole bunch of reputation points?

Which is what I wrote before.

Some people in America and China are racing to buy Bitcoin, thinking it'll go up soon from Argentines, but in reality we can safely assume that 99.9% of Argentines will continue to be none the wiser about Bitcoin.

Crypto currencies right now is like the internet back in the early 1990s.  I think we still have a long way to go in educating people of alternatives like crypto currencies.

I think it's an important conversation.  NEM could have this 2800 or 3000 stakeholders, but if only 2700 bother to claim their stakes then, in reality five months from now, people would only say it is 2700 initial stakeholders.

The number 2700 and 3000 is a insubstantial difference in distribution but a number of "3000" is better from an image point of review.  3000 is a nice round convenient number and the number "3" happens to be a lucky number in many cultures.  Having some obscure number like "2749" is off-putting and mechanical.

True.  Stalin and  the apparatchiks were relatively wealthy in what was an impoverished and hellish reality.

Though if you told a contemporary Russian millionaire, never mind a billionaire, that the apparatchiks were wealthy then they would laugh at you.  Stalin may have had a dacha with gold toilets but a Russian billionaire can have his own mega super yacht, A380 (biggest luxury plane), Caribbean islands, soccer teams, private armies and personal harems containing only the best looking super models.  

Even the lifestyle of a millionaire in Russia is arguably better than any privileged Communist had decades ago.

You have no shame in creating a website intended for the "community", but it's first purpose is to lie in a private message and then bait me to click it?  Only to prove I'm not UF but you then continue to ruffle through deleted posts?

Read up the definition of asocial.  Apparently you haven't have a clue from right or wrong.  No rational sane human could see your viewpoint.

If NEM community tolerates this behaviour from Instacash then we are no better than the coins we trying to overcome.

It's a blank website nobody uses and then you used it to disclose my IP to freaks on the net and then ruffled through my posts.

Only a few people have been taken off stakeholder list and your actions are deserving.  Like to create some blank 'community page' and its' first use is to stalk another stakeholder isn't excusable.  This is supposed to be the no envy movement.

Timeline is wrong, no proof ever emerged UF stole $100K.  It was an allegation by call from above which he never substantiated.

Nice to know they treat wild accusation for fact. 

If someone was lying it doesn't excuse violence or hit man, would never hold up in court.

BTW referring to NxT's distribution is far from a lie - it's a commonly understood fact about NxT.

I can't think any investor reading this thread is going to react positively.  NxT is getting ridiculous when it's chasing shadows.

Apparently I'm getting more attention than
John who stole $250K and then BM who stole over 1 million NxT.

I wouldn't put it past them to send someone after me to hurt me.

Looks like great PR for NxT - we'll send people to hurt you but leave the scammers alone.

It's not knowing the rules.  It's printing free money through FRB and then buying their own assets - the rich work together
And look out for each other.

Considering all the guys who play female toons in mmorpgs, are we sure this 10%-20% aren't just guys who wish they were women?!

The dot.com bubble was $7 trillion with a T.  Cryptos under $10 billion means the party hasn't even started.

A lot of coins like Dogecoin and Redd tried tipping to do what you suggest, I think it brought more bad than any good.

Possibly but ironically likely has nothing to do with actual Argentines.  It's probably people in China or the States wanking at this news and buying in anticipation that Bitcoin will go up from Argentines buying.  Which isn't the case because Bitcoin requires educating future users and that is something it has struggled in doing so far.  Beyond the get quick rich types, nobody is really buying into Bitcoin.  Bitcoin would do wonders as remittance in Africa (Western Union charges up to 20% by the end) and yet there's nobody educating Africans on the utility of using Bitcoin.

It was brought in because one person made 550 posts since Friday and almost all of them were directed at NEM.  His posts were full of terrible and annoying english.  99% of it was lies, he impersonated being the leader of NEM, tried to scam money by pretending to be in charge of tokens, regularly claimed to had owned a lot of NEM stakes, annoyed newcomers, et cetera.  He was also preventing, due to his volume and annoying posts, any actual discussion about NEM.

Either the guy is an unemployed lunatic or someone hired him because who frankly has time to make 550+ messages within a few days, of which 500 were directed at NEM?

How many threads and which to focus on?

The costs.  Tens of thousands for flights / hotel rooms / booth rental only to advertise to the hundred or so people who show up, most being from other coins.

NxT is damage control mode.

He was at multiple conferences and was pumping out hype.  He was the de facto leader of NxT ro anyone who attended the conferences.

World's longest investigation.  He took money and ran.  

It's not just that 79 BTC, he took other money from all over the place.

John (public leader of NxT) stole a fortune, for real.  All those donations he requested, scam trades, cointropolis asset (which he pocketed).

Easily $250K+.  He also had NxT people pay for his hotels and flights.
