THE RISE AND RISE OF MONERO

[owlcatz]

Actually I don't recall anything done by the Monero devs to encourage anyone to buy Monero.  Risto maybe.  Me maybe.  Just trying to help my friends and family achieve financial Independence and security, yo.  Working pretty well too. 50x-100x upside remaining before I dredge the lake looking for my lost USB key.

I admit, I did buy a bit based on Risto's predictions way back in his days of first promoting xmr summer of 2014.... I don't blame him or anything, but yeah, he has been promoting XMR since day 1 I believe, no? i know a lot of people on the speculation thread seem to blame him for losses, but that could just be shit I'm not reading right as well?...

As far as I go, I have never made a move from risto's advice except to do the opposite from time to time which has worked out for me so I harbor no ill afa that goes. People should never blame someone because they took their advice, no-one forced them to, it is their own choice whether to listen or not. As a matter of fact I just sat back and watched XMR for a year before buying in and I did that at the top of the BCX fud campaign and I only did it then to show support for the project. Took me like 8 months to break even from that. Lol I just feel he cares about himself and no-one else. That is my opinion, which as all of you have read I never have kept to myself. I speak what I believe and that is all.

I am positive he did not had any Monero on day.2. If you check his Wall observer and old Monero speculation thread you might find out when he noticed Monero. Well he might noticed it a bit before and buy in before started advertising it. But for sure not day.1. I think on day.1 only miners and more technically educated people understand what Monero is and brings on crypto table.

I see him mention Monero on 25th May seems fro the first time. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223.msg6923973#msg6923973  That is a month and half after start lol and a day before I registered on this forum. I did thought in past i saw his posts about Monero after I bought them in beginning of June, but it seems i was wrong.
