Whew! That was quite a long read for me! Well, from what I have read, most post hear are irrelevant because they are a product of self-emotions. Those who have benefited already long for more, and that's good. Those who have not are telling negative things (and I can say that it's totally normal, that is why "jealousy" is in the dictionary*).
If you focus on relevant information you should look at the things that are important:
1. BITCOIN was introduced in 2008 as a form of education. It was only in the year 2015 that it really gained popularity after it's first moon on 2013. I was there when it all happen.
2. After the rise of bitcoin, here come thousands and thousands of other coins, well in fact, thousands and thousands too ended a SCAM.
My point is, it is much easier to understand now which coin might end SCAM or not.
With Shuttlecoin, here is my personal thought:
1. Getting out into exchange despite that fact that you're new to market is an EXCELLENT JOB. Many coins before you came and took the money of those desperate people wanting to change their lives, yet indeed it changes, only not for the better.
I am no crypto guru, but I can tell that based on my personal experience SHUT is 2 steps ahead of others.
2. Maintaining a community is a big responsibility, in fact i have several groups from different sites, I also maintain 1 in discord. When I visited your discord server, the fist thing that came out to me is, "What the Hell Am I Doing Here?"
Sorry for the term. But after some time, there's one thing I realize, that SHUT team is more committed to growth and development compared to other coins. This can be easily noticed since since there are more coins in discord too that has gone rouge.
And for those who are trying to pin you down, just let them. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion. We are living in a free world.
And sometimes, negative publicity brings more good.
As long as there are people who trust you, just go on. Challenges are part of life, and negative publicity is a challenge.
Good Luck Shut Coin! And I hope I can own some of your COIN before it moon.
