Hi. I don't know if you read the amended message i put there. The thing is, I had heard a podcast with beanz, him, and a couple of others, and in that podcast they clearly stated it wasn't a competitor for steemit. So when I saw this post, I thought nothing of it, and I thought the whole team was a part of it. I saw frustration, but there had been quite a lot of that among many people during the days preceding this. And I somehow missed that he was saying that this was a competitor, probably because some of what he was saying went over my head (I'm a writer, technical things are not my strong suit) and i was skimming a bit. Point being that once I reread it and realized that's what he was saying it seemed like a bit of a spit in the face of steemit. I wasn't certain, but the more I thought about it, the more underhanded it appeared. So no, I will not be investing in it. Thank you for reaching out to protect me though, that was very thoughtful of you.
*i never did even try to use the account he made for me, as it was after i'd come to this conclusion that he posted it.
