i had like a very small amount of her coin when it first happened, so i never was affected, but i never really understood what it was people thought they were "investing" in (note: DeSo Creator Coins and $DESO are not to be talked about as any kind of investment, so note the quotation marks!).. they rugpulled twice before this month. i don't understand, who forgot? i didn't forget. there's no way other people had forgotten this. cause the 1st time was due to krassenstein never mentioning something about them. surely this hasn't been forgotten. pretty sure this was the 1st time. so that was the excuse, kinda crybaby-ish but maybe when they returned they did something to make it seem like they were making things right for people? no idea lol. but like, what could anyone have been thinking they were buying into anyways? i know they made nft projects? before the first rugpull at least right? some donut was one of them, i thought it was a cute image, but.. yeah it was an image. on deso nfts all are just images so, you know, not sure what some theoretical return on investment could be there since there is no direct and automatic funnel from nft sales into creator coin holders' wallets. voso never made sense to me? like, something about using amazon products to .. talk to amazon alexa to .. maybe get deso notifications for a node? i never understood how it would possibly work. i think i saw like a 3d game world type thing once though but i wasn't sure how that fit in. you can find the matt guy on amazon if you search, and there are some like mystery/adventure-style games (i guess maybe more like just choose your own adventure? no clue) for alexa. and they had like 20 accounts with each "project" having its own account. i don't recall them having a way with words to really convince people of anything? though i don't remember matt ever posting anyway. i probably never followed him but i really dunno. but they did this like twice (and now i guess 3 times since i see the accounts were all renamed) since i had joined deso. sooo like fool me once, shame on.. shame on you, fool me twice.. you can't get fooled again. but i guess people did? the problem is thinking of anything here as an investment when it's explicitly stated in the terms not to do this. without decentralized smart contracts there's no way of having any guarantee that anything is going to happen the way anyone says it does (and don't believe them, look at the contract yourself). the problem isn't that they aren't trustworthy (we knew that after the 1st time anyway if anyone had doubts). the problem isn't that anyone believed them either. the problem is there's nothing here that is built in a way that should qualify anything as even a make-believe type of investment. if there's no guaranteed utility by way of a smart contract or something that worked similarly (and it kinda needs to be decentralized, not something on a server like whatever smart services were said to be), buying an nft is basically hoping that there's hype to create false value that keeps going up or i guess trusting that someone who has no obligation to do so would create value for you when they start making money. and here, why would anyone do that when even the whole accountability part of the deso blockchain is totally forgotten and people who do this kind of stuff have verified checkmarks and aren't dealt with in any meaningful way that would hold them accountable. anyway, that they had rugpulled twice before this month was way more than enough. if you wanted to speculate with the coin, you know, that's cool, that's your prerogative, some people probably did make money this way (maybe? i didn't follow the value of their coins, i had a tiny amount again but i don't speculate on creator coins) - but then you wouldn't really care about past transgressions because you weren't a long term holder anyway so the success of any project wouldn't have mattered so much. ok sorry just a long comment but mainly i was wondering if you only had them down for 1 rugpull prior to this week. cause it is 2 i am positive. and now 3 i guess. i could be forgetting another one though. : 9 : 2

| @vampirecampfire - Nov 18, 2022 This was the first time that I had seen them do this, but shortly after I made this post/article, a few people reached out and told me that it wasn’t the first time. Which somehow makes it EVEN. CRAZIER. that they tried coming back yet again. 🤦🏼♀️ Oh and no worries at all for the long comment, it takes me like 2,000+ characters just to say hello, sometimes, so I totally get it. 😂 : 2 : 1

So see if I’m understanding this correctly. The built their coin values, Voso coin value. Got others to buy in, and then cashed everything out and disappeared until know. Am I understanding that correctly? Basically by selling all and dipping out, they basically sold, dropped their cc value and dipped? So those that paid a premium for their CC’s were left owning tokens worth Pennie’s on the dollar. Is that correct? Main point. : 6 : 1

| @NowAndThen - Nov 16, 2022 I think I remember a final explanation that they had decided to go a different way. But, they're back now. Bygones be bygones, like the prodigal son. Deso is a different sort of world, that's for certain. : 2 : 1

I read on Zirkles, tried to do more, but wouldn’t accept the one time password they me for some reason. First, thank you for taking the time and energy to explain your side, research and show screen shots. If nothing else to take away from this, you definitely care and it shows. In my opinion, your the type that’s hear to help this place grow and looks out/protects the community. Something we all should aspire too. I’m going to reread over it again, and do some digging as well. Thank you so much for (more than anything) caring, spending your time to do this, and the heart to want to protect the community. Your head and heart are in the right place. In my opinion. And it’s appreciated. : 4 : 1
