RE: Why I won't support Jerry Banfield anymore - JerryCoin

in #steem6 years ago

ive spoke to many of the people who hold the wealth you speak of and they all understand that its not in their best interest to do that. Sure they could all sell at once and destroy the platform, but if they're here to make money why would they sabotage what is making them money?

Sort:  

It’s been done many times before. The inner circle of USI-TECH just did it recently, even though they could’ve gone on to more profits.

But it’s great to hear that they have no plans to do it here.

Are you seriously comparing STEEM to USI-Tech?... You literally have not even the slightest clue what you are doing as an investor if you are comparing the two.

USI-Tech was what is known as a HYIP. High Yield Investment Programs are known scams with unsustainable returns. In the beginning these gains were no big deal because bitcoin was going parabolic. but every single one of those programs even the semi legit ones(ill consider USI-Tech semi legit because 1% isnt crazy, but still its unsustainable) disappeared while BTC was near the ATH. Maybe they could have made more, but the people behind those programs are smart and realize that greed is what gets you caught up. Which brings me to the fact that large governments started to actually hold people accountable for crypto-scams which is another reason why many of these programs disappeared.

STEEM is a legitimate cryptocurrency platform created by a blockchain verifiable proof of work consensus algorithm. USI tech has nothing backing it, no transparency, no nothing meanwhile what give crypto value is market sentiment, but the reason early investors thought that btc was worth anything was because of this proof is work consensus algorithm. There is definitely a huge fight over market share of btc but tbh btc is no longer worth anything its too slow to ever scale properly and lacks the base tech to do any of the advanced features that blockchain was invented for. It was a proof of concept and nothing more. Projects such as BTS and STEEM have intrinsic value due to the content being stored on the blockchain, and what they can do natively.

Don’t be silly and don’t cast aspersions please. Of course I’m not comparing the two in the way that you are comparing them. But in any system or organization where the inner ring or progenitors hold majority power they can, at will, topple the whole system if they see fit or were nefarious enough to do so. I never said that steam wasn’t a legitimate crypto currency nor did I say that USI tech was a legitimate consideration. Don’t get carried away on being literal when a metaphor is being drawn.

sorry its late, and my autism is getting the best of me.

There will always be an imbalance of power. Especially in an anarchisist sytem with an NAP. Have you ever seen the movie the invention of lying?

oh and just so you know there are actually ways to use website metadata as indicators of when to buy and sell these hyip programs. The most notable would be website traffic data

All good. This is a good conversation. I often think a joust can often bring about better understanding.
Thanks for the last tip there, by the way.
