I'm going to assume you're very young and thus educable, rather than a differently-enabled adult.  This assumption might be unreasonable (and I'm a bit worried that it is), but noblesse oblige dictates I err on the side of kindness.  So here's ur learningz for the day:

While certain philosophers insist that reality doesn't exist outside of perception, this concept is for grownups, so don't try to think about it just yet.  While you're still young, this is all that you need to know:  When NotLambchop is reasonably sure, bet your life on it.

Unlike drool, scribbles and malformed thinkings you make with your own brain, NotLambchop's reasonable assumptions are, indeed, reasonable.

Take NotLambchop's word for it and stop acting out.

Kids these days

@Another User:  Context.  Qualifiers. <==Learn both

And of course I don't have the entire picture.  Neither do you.  OTOH, when it smells like shit and it's this sewer, I'm going to assume it's shit.  <==reasonable assumption

And I'm not even suggesting that, at the time you made your 600% profit...

JoTheKhan, not sure if I remember you from....

I'm not implying that the board members were paid off...  I also have no idea how many shares... I'm also not clairvoyant...

Not sure where I led you to believe a conspiracy was involved....

Not sure I get it.  What does inflation have to do...

any company worth their salt, and as TAT plainly states, FC et. al are millionaires; so any reputable business people that operate a company that generates millions in revenue wouldn't hesitate to spend 50,000$ on documents, lawyers, and independent reviews that plainly show whatever you claim.

but we're talking about people who operate in a country that is notorious and rife with fraud in business dealings.

how about this:

consider if friedcat et al. own rockminer and xtbec.

come on, you're smart. I dont have to spell it out.

Consider any landscape where FC et al. want to wash themselves of AM's shareholders.

And that's all I'm saying here--not understanding how a scam works is not proof of it not being a scam.  Everything beyond that was thrust onto me by ASICMINER fanbois and jittery "investors."  To be clearer still, I never called this a scam--merely pointed out that the odds of losing on this are astoundingly high.  Not only due to FC, but to a slew of third-party risks--exchanges, etc.  The potential upside in no way compensates for this, making this a nonstarter as an investment.

Hope this is a bit clearer.

And I'm not even suggesting that, at the time you made your 600% profit, ASICMINER was setting out to be a scam.
Times were different back then, getting ripped off was still not a certainty and scamming far from a de facto business plan for bitcoin securities.
But time means flux, and today it pretty much is.

But the last few months have raised enough questions that this needs to be explicitly addressed in a manner that involves official statements by many people not acting under a pseudonym that can be examined by some independent group of people. but that's the american way of dealing business. and i would be shocked if that would happen here.

I dunno about that, the mere threat of someone involving chinese authorities forced that beijing bitcoin mining company to give everyone their bitcoins back, very soon after the IPO

when he posted last time in this topic?

he doesnt care about shareholders.

he is worse than ken, at this regard.

where are updates?

wtf is going on?

i think we have been scammed.

now buy buy buy!
and hodl,

yesterday was a good day for trading, 0.12 bottom.
now 0.24 with potential to 0.3-0.4 in few days
still great profit opportunity

i hope friedcat will launch some immersion cointainers with own pcb design, a lot of money was dumped into those tanks and installations, i am sure that it will be used or sold in next few weeks.

Don't you think TAT's a scammer for being in bed with NeoBee?

wat

Each time I called a fail, it failed.
Granted, the odds were stacked in my favor, since almost everything out there is either a scam or just some incorrigible child role-playing bznz, but nothing unfalsifiable about my predictions

Feel free to point out any of my posts where I have been wrong.

If by "everyone" you mean investing enthusiasts and finance aficionados, and by "troll" you mean "guy who has been right on the money, each and every time," than we're on the same page

Your comments remind me of those on http://trilema.com/2013/the-analysis-of-a-failure-asicminer/


moar RAGE!!!!!!!???

Nothing concrete, but he was on the board for a few months and may have gotten the sense something underhanded was going on with board members' "own franchises" before deciding to leave.  Makes me wonder who operates these other businesses that AM is selling their Gen3 chips to.

That, plus the fact that friedcat has been awfully quiet for the last several months.  People have speculated that he's been extremely busy and/or doesn't want to reveal his business strategy, but these well-meaning individuals could just be unknowingly providing him cover.  He talked about designating someone for investor relations, but only came up with excuses.  Scammers have a tendency to come up with excuses, instead of solutions, to explain away the red flags.
