Also, you FUD-spamming assholes consider yourselves 'honest', but none of you have contributed shit except to spam other people's threads.
If we stopped even one person from throwing their money away, we've contributed plenty
To clarify, I didn't think Patrick was running a ponzi - I had a small deposit with him at one point after all which I withdrew after the pirate debacle as I needed funds for other things and wanted to hold back for a few months, let the tide go out and see who was swimming naked - having seen him buying bitcoinmax accounts and knowing that he had personal bullshit&trust exposure I was concerned that he might be significantly over-exposed.
The problem is, people want to believe that they can have money and success and great investment returns without doing any research or putting in any effort.
When people really want to believe something, their logic becomes a bit skewed. It reminds me very much of this comic:
"Hey guys, I have a scheme that pays 7% per week with low risk!"
"Oh yeah? Prove it."
"YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT I DON'T!"
Asking the questions that any sensible investor who's not just a gullible ATM for scammers will ask is not "spam".
