I'm not so sure Ducky1. Max tried this boycott hedgefund nonesene before and Ryanair mad numerous jokes about it.
Most of the projects on SJ are only getting funded because of coin giveaways(at Max and Stacys discretion of course). The crypto note for example. Obvious that most don't want it so StartJOIN use the coin (that's owned by shareholders) to bailout a bad project. Some of the best projects go completely unfunded.
Don't you guys think this is all being overhyped?
I did not know he has tried it before, but that's great because then he has learnt how not to do it. The Startjoin projects that's easily funded now is those who build the ecosystem and makes Startjoin/Startcoin stronger. I think this is a natural first step. Other projects also get funded, but with a little more resistance. The startjoin community is still not rich and numerous enough to fund the really large projects. But we are a long way forward from what we where one year ago when this all started. There has been an incredible increase in users and in the development of the community and infrastructure. Startjoin is still a baby, but the potential is certainly there, and I think the next year will prove that. Hype is part of the game, but you have to look through that and think for yourself if there isn't a diamond waiting to be polished somewhere in there.

In my opinion Max Keiser/Karl Gray is doing the only right thing by taking on the existing paradigm head on instead of trying to somehow get blockchain technology to fit into the existing paradigm like Bitcoin and others is doing by flirting with the big banks and wall street. They need to go, and it may work or not, but somebody has to try.
