RE: Scammer in the Making, or Just a Poor Strategist?
First off, accusations work as such: innocent until proven guilty. Your claim of this guy being guilty is based off the fact that you made personal attacks to him and are offended that he politely defendes himself? 😅😅
Personal attacks:
- Poor strategist (you may say you're blunt, but it's a snobby personal attack).
- Lack of clear direction (that's your opinion)
- Claiming the guy lives in a bubble
You did not approach him to genuinely learn about his initiative to better grasp what his strategy is, you deemed it what you wanted and yourself claim to have "called him out." Your choice of words is a clear show that you have claimed his guilty without putting any effort of making a grounds for it. That's just baseless judgement.
By the way, I think you are very detatched from blockchain technology despite claiming to be a community leader. Blockchain technology has native accountability built in; you might want to correct yourself on the claim that there is no accountability on what he does. Hashes, comments, posts, replies--it's all clear.
It just seems you are annoyed he does not want to join your own causes. That's his choice as is yours to not join his. There's a lot of projects on this platform and he needn't know about them to create his own competing initiative; competition is good.
The main question remains: before you want on a rant on how he is defending himself against your accusational and aggressivemess (this post in itself a proof of that) and before you leaned so harshly towards him being guilty (pressing on the word leaned), did you actually bother to monitor his activity?
Maybe consider that next time you hilariously decide to attack some one on the basis of what others did (2017 scam).
Innocent until proven guilty? Tell that to all the wallets he’s invaded with marketing crap and now the blog owners whose comment threads he’s hijacked. I may be detached from blockchain tech in your opinion, but you’re detached from reality if you think I have no basis for my complaints about this user.
@rhondak almost everything you've done here is malicious and irritating. You do not have any concrete evidence to prove that @crypto.piotr is a fraudster or swindler yet you attempted to attack his integrity.
@crypto.piotr has a right to associate with whoever he deems fit, so not belonging to your cult of communities does not cast a shadow of doubt over his integrity and credibility. I have known Piotr for a while now and I can boldly say he has one of the finest intentions for this blockchain. Fortunately, you can't dictate to everyone of us who should be taken seriously or not.
Piotr's mission here is to support those who write good articles bothering on the blockchain and AI. He has done that by organizing contests and curating good posts. Also, he has helped to raise money to support Venezuelans in need. Are these bad or good for the community?
I will advise that you hang your frustrated pen. You targeted the wrong person.

Actually, I said he's a spammer. And there's tons of proof of that. And no--the fact that an entire colony of likeminded users who think it's okay to clog the nodes with useless transactions and sully the comment feeds with unsolicited marketing goes to show for a FACT that I target the right person, and have exposed a hornet's nest of potential abuse of our system.
Do you know that what you call spam, those unsolicited messages, have added to the ratings of the Steem blockchain on sites like blockactivity.info? Those transactions you call spam make Steem boast of being one of the blockchains with the highest number of daily transactions.
Your essay would not have been seen as being malicious and desperately virulent had you also criticized other bid bots and big boys who use the memo messages.
My goodness. You really ARE out of touch. Are you familiar with MIRA, and the reason for it?
Just know this: when talk comes down of making each memo cost significant RC, and requiring a minimum amount significantly higher than .001, that Piotr and his drone army (including you) were responsible. Because the truth is, people will find a way to abuse any system and justify it with bullshit like "add to the ratings" to a point where even dencentralized has to be regulated. It's sad. But as long as the takers get to take, right?
And for what it's worth, the wallet spam isn't what set my teeth on edge. It was the comment spam--unsolicited, unrelated crap comments on a post that had nothing to do with Piotr or you clowns in the drone army. Bad form, bad business, and bad manners. Definitely nothing most major users on this platform would ever consider supporting.
