I don't think Bill Still was bribed, I believe he honestly thought Quark was a good investment due to it having more secure hashing than Bitcoin (this is from what I remember him posting on his blog).
I think Quark was done in by a massive FUD campaign followed by the launch of Dogecoin which opened up the floodgates for the sea of shitcoins that we have now. Now everyone realizes just how fickle the crypto landscape is... it is very difficult for a coin to make it because if it starts to show signs of success, it is quickly met with non stop FUD, clones and competing shitcoins. Not to mention the latecomers screaming that the coin is not fair because they missed the boat. I remember there was even a coin called "FairQuark" for a while.
almost correct.
except the reason for all the clamminess and much squealing is Quark has gone nowhere - :
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/views/filter-non-mineable-and-premined/look at that list and take out the:
1. outright scam
2. the obvious price manipulated monopolies
you are left with Prime and Quark sitting a lot higher. (of course there are many others)
you are correct with the "FUD" this is effected by paid corporate shills such as "project salt", they hired these losers to troll forums and to "make lots of crypto" , a typically retarded communist type central planing policy which has failed.
they are desperate thieves that would burn the US constitution and want you to stay as a poor slave, their biggest problem is that the "paper energy slave token" they issue otherwise called "paper money" it on all projections heading to a "Ruble in the late 80's" situation.
look that up; its beautifully represents the current situation - the Soviet central planners told Russians to have faith in the Ruble and they dutifully put much Ruble savings away - to have that value be totally decimated in the late 80's early 90's.
in the same sense your Corporate central planners are telling Lego people to "save money" and "invest in stocks" what do you suppose is going to be the result?
*Russians ironically still to this day put savings in USD because of their total lack of faith in the Ruble, ironically setting themselves up for a "double whammy"
